Mrs. S. L. Trumbull, who taught
in our public schools last year, and
who was rejected by the council after
being unanimously recommended for
a position in the schools for this
coming term by the school commit-
tee, tor no other reason than to
make room for a favorite of one of
our councilmen, has been appointed
over all applicants to the principal-
ship of the Whites boro public schools
at a salary of $7^ a month, and will
enter upon her duties in September.
Mrs. Trumbull is also to have the
privilege of receiving pupils over
and under the scolastic age, the tui-
tion to be paid to her. After the
public school closes, in January,
she will conduct a private school in
the same building, which she is
assured will be well patronized.
We have never heard any one
question Mrs. Trumbull’s qualifica-
tions as a teacher. Her scholastic
acquirements, her ability to govern
and the maternal influence she exert-
ed over the pupils of her grade while
in the service of the city, all com-
bined to make her one ot the most use-
ful teachers on our force. Being pres-
ident of the W. C. T. U., at this point
her sentiments upon the prohibition
question have not been in accord
with those entertained by the Ga-
zetteer, but this has not interfered
with its excellent opinion of her as a
lady and a teacher. The Gazet-
teer has severely criticised the ac-
tion ot Mrs. Trumbull’s friends in
the W. C. T. U. for dragging the
fact ot her rejection by the council
into the field, of politics for the pur-
pose of prejudicing those ignorant
of the facts against the anti-prohibi-
tion cause, and they justly deserved
all that was said. Mrs. Trnmbull’s
position on the prohibition issue was
never so much as mentioned in the
committee room when the teachers
were selec'ed ; neither was it alluded
to in the star chamber session of
the council when her name was
stricken from the list to make room
for a stranger—Prof. Bell. We
speak advisedly and the friends of
Mrs. Trumbull will not try to dis-
prove our statement. We under-
stand Prof. Bell has refused to ac-
cept the position to which he was
chosen, being too much of a gentle-
man to hold an appointment secured
by the sacrifice of so competent a
teacher as Mrs. Trumbull. For
Mrs. Trumbull we entertain but the
kindest personal feelings^ and should
uot have alluded the above facts
again had it not bee 1 necessary to
set the Gazetteer right before the
public, and correct an error which
gained considerable credence during
the recent political canvsss. In her
new field ot usefulness we wish for
Mrs. Trumbull what we know she
will achieve—the same professional
success and social amenity that have
attended her here.

is the harvest here is from two to
four weeks earlier than usual. There
is some complaint of shortness of
crops in consequence of the drougth,
but except in the matter of pasture
lands, I am judge enough in such
matters—having had many years ex-
perience as a farmer in Kentucky
to know that they have good crops
growing, and if the fine weather
continues through harvest time, the
result will be the best crop Britain
has seen tor years. Harvest is just
beginning here, and singularly
enough to our American ideas, the
first crop to be cut is oats, then bar-
ley, wheat coming last, and right
here I advise our Alliance friends to
thrash and market as soon as possi-
ble, for unless some disaster hap-

tain to be large in quantity, and
superior in quantity, al! of which

some men take in the feelings ot

people, but the inheritor of a title,
who bitterly failed to achieve what
he battled for—the independence of
his country—who individually was a
failure, dying on a scaffold, leaving
his country in about as helpless a
subjection to England as she ever
was, and yet six hundred years after
his death there is no such name as
his to conjure with his countrymen,
and wherever the English language

Since ray last I have seen two of
the greatest engineering works ot
modern times. Many readers of the
Gazetteer no doubt remember the
thrill that passed through the civil-
ized world a few years ago, when,
on a wild stormy December night, a
railroad train crossing the Frith of
Fay, on its way to Dundee, plunged
into the angry tide below, and not a
soul escaped to tell the tale; a span
of the bridge, between two stone
peers had been blown out by the
storm, and the whole train went
down—not even a shriek of the
doomed ones was heard through the
awful night. It was long ere Parlia-
ment would authorize the construc-
tion of another bride at that point,
but as the want of it made a long
circuit necessary, it was at last deci-
ded to build another quite close to
where the old one was, on a much
more substantial basis. This has
been finished only a few weeks, and
after viewing it from the water I
concluded nothing less than a Texas
cyclone could do it any material
injury. They have used the old
pillars or piers to some extent, leav- I This tomb doth shew for what some men
are to be found willing to subscribe
large sums to erect a memorial set-
ting forth how imperishable are the
names of those who have sacrificed
themselves for their country, and
while on this subject I will give you
a copy of an inscription to be found
in Grey Friar’s churchyard in this
city, commemorating perhaps the
last who died in Britain in the en-
deavor to maintain religious liberty.
It is called the “Covenanters Epi-
itapb,” aud has perhaps been as
much sought out and copied as any
of the ancient memorials here, not
as you will at once see because of
its literary quality, but on account
of its quaintness, and its historical
interest. The slab itself shows its
great age, but the epitaph, has be-
yond doubt, been recent, and the
spelling I think must have been re-
cast, as I don’t think the spelling in
1706 was so near our present style,
as the following, which is a verbatim
copy of the original, as I drew it off
myself:

TO THE INTEREST OF DENISON!
Merchants and Artisans. Profit by this
Announcement.
Mr. C. H. Hitchcock, advance
agent for the Geo. W. Haven show
company, arrived in the city last
Friday to arrange for the appear-
ance of his company in Denison on
August 32. The Haven consolida-
tion is a ring show and menagerie,
travelling by rail, and from what we
have heard said it is first-class in
every particular.
YVe learn from Mr. Hitchcock that
the company’s travelling equippage
and accoutrements need renovating
and repairing, and to the end of
having this effected it will remain a
week in Denison. Tne cars and
cages of the company will be re-
paired and repainted, the different
sections of canvas will receive an
overhauling, new beds and bedding
will be purchased new wardrobes and
general outfits for members of the
company, and show trappings of
every kind will be either replaced by
new ones or will be remodeled and
improved. Upwards of $1,000 will
be spent by this consolidation among
our merchants, mechanics and la-
boring men which will, no doubt,
be duly appreciated by them. Per-
formances will be given afternoon
and evening during their stay here
aud in order to secure a liberal at-
tendance at £ach exhibition, an ex-
ceedingly nominal price of admis-
sion will be charged. It is not the
design of the compauy to make
money while they stay in Denison.
An overhauling of their equipments
and paraphernalia has become im-
perative and while this is being
effected performances will be given
at reduced prices merely for the pur-
pose of advertising the show and
paying incidental expenses. This
show has all the outward semblance
of a good one and as it has chosen
to constitute itself the city's guest

OPERA H0U8E 0B0HE8TBA.
The News states it is informed that
Coi McDougall will engage the Philhar-
monic orchestra to furnish music for his
opera house during the coming season.
We do not know who the News’ inform
ant may have been, but we hope that the
information may prove correct. The
music to which the patrons of the Mc-
Dougall were compelled to listen last
winter was, at its best, very indifferent
and in some instances was simply execra-
ble and it is to be hoped that in this re
spect something better will be furnished
this year. The finest performance, when
not supported and embellished by orches-
tra music becomes tiresome, while
mediocre one thus reinforced will give
satisfaction and enjoyment. The Gazet-
teer is convinced that the cost ot the or-
chestra in the opera house will be more
than made up in increased patronage,
and feels that the Colonel would subserve
his own interests by securing its services.
Recollect we carry in stock the
famous James Means $3.00 shoes,
also the L. Douglass $2.qo and
$3,00 shoes; best in the world.

Denison’s first bale of cotton of this
season's growing was brought to the city
Thursday by Mr. J. H. Welch, of Basin
Springs, Grayson county. It weighed 502
pounds, was classed strict middling, and
was bought by Mr. J. H. Porter at 9 cents.
No premium was given it being ascer-
tained that Mr. Welch was not in the
habit ot marketing his crop at this point,
he having brought the bale here only tor
the purpose of securing the premium.
The bale was shipped at once to Senter &
Co., ot St. Louis, and will be their first
bale of Texas cotton for this season. The
first bale ot last year reached this market
nine days earlier than the one of this
season. It was grown by Mr. Keeler
Smith, of Colbert, and brought 8 cents
besides a $40 premium.

yards apart, the truss support being
below the bridge, all except the six
central spaces, where it is above,
to leave vessels to pass through, and
it must be something like 125 feet
from high water to the roadway ; al-
together a handsome, substantial
jiece of work, surely destined to last
for ages. The other piece of work
is the Forth bridge, of which we
have all heard much for years past.
It is built, so far as the centre is con-
cerned, on an entirely different
principle from the Fay bridge, be-
cause where it crosses the Frith of
Forth the water is so deep that it
was impossible to build so many
pillars, so while the ends seem very
similar in construction to the Fay
bridge, there are to be two cen-
tral spans, on the suspension princi-
ple, and to obtain the suspending
power three erectors rise from the
sea, the basis, masonry, the upper
part consisting in each of four iron
tubes 10 or 12 feet in diameter,
rising into the air 350 feet, and these
braced by other iron tubes nearly as
large, while other tubes are spring-
ing out from the outside, the pur-
pose of which I was not engineer
enough to understand; from the
tops of those central erections is to
descend the suspending power, not
as usual, in the form of a cable, but
in some more substantial shape, the
whole being put up on what is call-
ed the cantalever principle. How
this is I can’t explain, as so far these
central tubers are in an unfinished
state, but their height and the im-
mense size of the iron tubes tells to
the most ordinary mortal that passes
through, here uprises one of man’s
greatest achievments. I ought to
have said at the proper place that
the two central spans are 1750 feet
apart, each. I will try before I leave
here to get a view of the bridge as
it is to be, when finished, and if I
succeed will have it framed and kept
for the inspection of our railroad
friends, and others in Denison. Pass-
ing through the bridge that is to be

concerned in getting up this memo-

a good “ad’’ at the end, showing
that in those days they understood

this notice sold thousands of the

else Brother Murray will be cutting

he will be glad to get copy of a

L frequently the exclamation of one lady
to another. The tact is not a pleasant one
to have mentioned, but still the act may
be a kindly one, for it sets the one ad-

fact that she is not in good health, and
leads her to seek a reason therefore.
Pallor is almost always attendant upon the
first stages of consumption. The system

Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery”

To read the humorous papers of
New Yorkone would imagine that
as I the highest type of intelligence exist-
3i75, ing in New Jersey was not capable
of appreciating the difference be-
tween Father McGlynn and a Chi-
cago nihilist, and would be led to
believe that the oldest inhabitant of
that State hardly knows the war is
over. But this has nothing to do
with those fine new Jerseys to be
seen at the Star Store. In this line
the stock is very complete and the
prices being quoted are such as will
arrest the attention of all parties in
need of such goods, and command
for them a quick sale. The Star
Store does not sell at cost or less
than cost, but it invites a comparison
of its prices with those ot the houses
that do, being satisfied that in every
instance the comparison will be to its
advantage.
The Jerseys now selling at the
Star Store at 50 cents are without a
parallel in the dry goods trade of
Denison, and are equal to jerseys
that have been sold in this city at
but a recent date for $1 and upwards.
A line of the same goods at $1 will
also be found of unequaled value,
while full lines at $1.50, $2.00 and
upw*ards are among the finest and
most desirable goods ever brought lo
the State. Call at the Star Store
this week and see these superior
goods. YVhether you buy or not, ■

Martin A Linn.
A partnership has been formed between
Mr. J. R. Martin, the popular real estate
man and Mr. Tom Linn, late of the Morn-
ing News, for the transaction ot a real
estate business, and Mr. Martin has clos-
ed his office in the Werneburg building,
and will remove to the Morning News
building, where the headquarters of the
new firm will be. J. R. Martin is known
as one of the most affable and accommo-
dating gentlemen in the real estate bus-
iness, and hence requires no introduc-
tion. Mr. Linn is a brother of the irre-
pressible News editor. He has not yet
made his mark as a “Rustier” in this part
of the world, but in his connection with
the News has demonstrated himselt to be
a very pleasant gentleman to do business
with." See the advestisement of the new
firm in another part of this issue.
A SURE THING.
If you have Pettit & Waltz lay your
pipes. Water is bound to come.
Denison vs. St. Louis.
We know ot an opening bill of
hardware sold to an Indian Terri-
tory merchant on the line of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe R. R.,
which was closely contested for by
a Denison and St. Louis firm, both
houses having representatives upon
the ground. We are proud to say
that Denison secured the order
through the low prices and magnifi-
cent stock of Leeper, Lingo & Co.
This is a fact without any coloring.
The county mortuary report came very
near being swelled Monday afternoon in
the sum of a farmer, his son and a team
ot black and tan horses. In spite ot mo-
tions and cries of warning from Jimmy,
the flagman, the granger was trying to
get across the Missouri Pacific track at
the depot, ignorant of the fact that switch
engine, No. 50, was pulling down at a
lively rate behind a long string of tall
produce cars, and close upon him. Jimmy
had motioned hint back and yelled at him '
a dozen times when, seeing that the
horses were upon the rails and that the
engine would hit the wagon about fair in
the center, he sprang to the horses’ heads/
and throwing his weight upon the bridle'
reins forced them off the track in
time to let the locomotive by without do-
ing any harm. When the danger was past,
Mr. Cater addressed himself to the gran-
ger in accents neither soft nor low, and
that bewildered individual seemed de-
cidedly glad when the reins were released
and he was allowed to pass on.
BE8T nr THE WORLD.
So it is claimed that Denison has
the finest water. If you wish it go
to Pettit & Waltz.

Perry & Martin’s horse was being
driven down Main street by a colored
man, this (Saturday) afternoon about 3
o’clock when, at a point opposite the
Star Store, it began to plunge and kick,
making desperate efforts to run away.
The colored man held on to the lines and
succeeded in reining the horse in on the
sidewalk in front of the Denison Invest-
ment office where it collided with an
awning post, overturning the buggy aud
where it was caught by several bystanders.
One shaft ot the buggy was broken but
no further damage was done.

this committee was to hate the fence re-
paired and the step* fixed so as to exclude

DIED.
Of typhoid-malarial fever, Aug. ia,
1887, Mrs. Susan Weaver, aged 22 years,
daughter of Mr. Michenor, of west Main
street. She leaves three little girt chil-
dren, besides father, mother and sister
to mourn her loss. The remains were
taken to Greenville Saturday to be buried
beside her husband. Funeral terviee*
were conducted by Rev. W. E. Tyne* at
9:30 p. m. Friday night.
We judge from remarks made by Coun-
cilman Felld*, a« the council meeting
Thursday night, that the city treasury is
almost depleted, lie said the Lazes for
1886 ■were almost all collected and spent,
and as the collections for this year will
not come In before January, H will tak*
financiering on the part of the city dnd*
to keep the city even for the next ala
’ months.
An accident occurred
about 7 o’clock to Mr. J. A. Philips, the
street car driver, which will have the
effect ot withdrawing him from duty far
some day*. Ha was standing on the pint-
form of hi* car as it
which stood on the switch all
ol the Main street and
and as (he two cam wees passing he at-
tempted to step from his car onto the
other one, he stumbled and hla body waa
jammed between the walls of the two
cars. Ha was picked up and placed upon
the car and taksn lo his home near tha
Main street car stable*. Hera Dr*. Ache
son end Bailey, were quickly In atten-
dance, and the old gentleman made aa
comfortable as possible. He was found
to be pretty badly jammed, and lo have
had one of hi* ribs fractured, but on the
whole his hurt* are not serious. The
Gazette* he* on previous occasion* re-
ared to Mr. Phillip* unceasing bnd Inch,
and this Is only another visitation of his
usual Ill-fortune. If there It anything
unpleasant going It Is sure to come hla
way.
