W. S. Reeves far County Clerk
The Gazetteer this week an-
nounces Mr. W. 8. Reeves as a
candidate for County Clerk ami hj*
is submitting his qualifications to
the voters at tlie primary election
to tie held by the Democrats in
this eopnty.
Mr. Reeves was horn in this
county not very far west of Deni-
son aliout 38 years ago, being a
son of George R. Reeves, once
8|ieaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. He has been Deputy
County Clerk for about three
years and his friends believe that
he had well earned the promotion.
For faithful care, kind attention,
correctness and promptness Mr.
Reeves has no sujterior as a pub-
To the man in the Court House
in Sherman away from home anx-
ious to return, Mr. Reeves has
t>een obliging, good tempered, j*a-
tient and cheerful in rendering all
needed assistance. These quali-
ties as an official going with the
man of honor, uprightness and ab-
solute competency commend, as
his friends urge, the support of
Mr. Reeves by the people to the
office which he is sin king.

Rev* Hid Williams, who belongs
to the Evangelists who find it
very profitable to go from town to
town, handed the Baptist people a
lemon Sunday night. In fact, it
is one of the biggest church sensa-
tions of the day. Williams com-
plained bitterly of the Christian
people of Denison, intimating thAt
during his stay here he had lieen
treated shabbily and that he was
glad to get awav and never wanted
to see Denison or Denison jieople
again, and he forego the pleasure
of e .'en bidding them goodbye, and
d d not want to give them the
brotherly shake of his hand. Two
leading members of the Baptist
Church tell the Gazetteer that
Williams’ remarks were vel y

The Committee is charged with
the duty of assisting, in every way
possible, the election of a Demo-

the United States who Idieves,
with us, that the election of a Dem-
ocratic Congress would greatly
l>enefit the country. We must re-

work by giving information as to
local conditions, and suggestions
for our guidance.
Each individual can at least aid
us by making a contribution. Will
he not do so and interest others in
helping us, too?
We wish our Campaign hand-

not breathe the spirit of Christian
charity, and that Williams is some-
thing of an Evangelist Mounte-
bank, and that they were very
glad to get rid of him.
The kernel in tin1 nut seems to
l>e that the money did not How
readily enough into the coffers of
the Rev. Sid. Like many Evang-
elists, Williams has money sense
and thinks that the Almighty d«>i-
ar is aliout as big a thing in the
affairs of this life as the religion
which he teaches, and jicrhaps
more so. His language is Iteing
resented by memlters of the Bap-
tist church, and some call his con-
tact outrageous; that he had been
treated well and his remarks at
the church Sunday night were a
jxtor return for the hospitable
manner in which la had ben en-
tertained.

at a time.
Traveling Evangelists are get-

‘they are always with us.” It is
an easy life and there seems to lie
plenty of money in it. It has l>e-

Japan is a land without domestic
animals, says an exchange. It is
this strange lack which strikes the
stranger so forcibly in looking
upon Japanese landscapes. Then
are no cows—the Japanese neither
drink milk nor eat meat. There
are hut few horses, and they are
imported mainly for the use
foreigners. The wagons in the
city streets are pulled and pushed
by coolies, and the pleasure car-
riages are drawn by men. There
are few dogs and these arc neither
used as watch dogs, beasts of bur-
den nor in hunting, except by for-
eigners. There are no sheep in
Japan; the wool is not used for
clothing, silk and cotton being the
staples. There are no {tigs—jiork
is an unknown article of diet, and
lard is not used in cooking. There
are no goats or mules or don kies.
Wild animals there are, however—
in particular bears of enormous
size. One of these Mr. Finek saw
stuffed in a museum and he de
scribed it as being “as big as an
ox.” War, of course, is acquaint-
ing the Japanese with the use of
animals. The army has cavalry
horses and others to drag the fiel
arms. The : empress also, in ob-
vious imitation of European royal
ties, is an expert horsewoman ane
saddle horses are kept for her use

Cleveland u One ef the Beys.
“The first time I ever saw Mr.
Cleveland,” said Charles A. Ham-
ilton, for many years a Washing-
ton correspondent, “was when a
small boy, I carried- newsp«j>ers,
and every morning went to the
office of the (i*urier in Buffalo to
obtain my butt le. A cauqinign
for sheriff wap in progress ut the
time. Clevelal I was the candi-
date against J<i -n B. Welter, who
was elected ths-c years afterward
to that office and subsequently to
congress. Aliout two o’clock one
morning my companions and my-
self entered a saloon kept by a
German named Blume to get a
bottle of ‘pop.’ Therein we found
Cleveland, Oscar Fulsom, whose
daughter Cleveland afterward mar-
ried ; Charley MaCtimber and
George TallKit. These men were
playing eards. Blume wanted to
go to he<l, and after he had served
us he said to Cleveland and his
friends:
'“Now, boys, take one more
drink on the house. I have got to
close up or the jMilioe will la- after
me.’
“The men raised their mugs
and drained them, and (daveland
started a song : X \
“ ‘There was a hole iti ti»A l>ot-
tom of the sea.’ His companions
shouted the chorus:
“ ‘Pour her down, j»our her
down, j«our her down.’
“Cleveland turned to the pro-
prietor: ‘Another round, Blume,’
he ordered.
“When I left a quarter of an
hour later, they were still drink-
ing.
‘Cleveland was nearly beaten
in that eamjwign. He did not
make mueh financially out of his
offiee. From ’70 to '78 the coun-
try was prosperous, and conse-
quently there was little < rime.

in 1873, when the panic began.

Welier had his hands full. As the
compensation in those days was
derived entirely from foes, Weber
got more from his office than did
Cleveland.”

The prizes offered t>y the Deni-

grounds and for the cleanest school

follows:

First prize, Room No. 4, Burleson
School; second prize, Room No.
1, Burleson School.
For Cleanest School Ground:
First Prize, Barleson School; sec-
ond jirize, Stevens School.
This contest aroused much in-
terest among faith the teachers
and students, and the school
grounds which had already lieen
made beauty spots were still fur-
ther improved, and at the close of
school-they were scenes of l>eauty
fragrant with flowers.
The flower beds in the home
yards are being judged from time
to time as they mature. A large
list of j>rizes has lieen offered
by the league for l*-st results ob-
tained from the seed furnished for
planting in the home yards.

la-ague have already closed and

Do you know what we think is
the best story in the hible? It
may surprise you, but its the one
aliout Noah and the flood. We
say this in the face of the educated
folks who turn uy> their noses and
leelare this flood story a fake.
You remember, Noah had to work
long time on the ark. It was
uphill business, too, at liest, day
after day, building a boat away
out on dry land, where the local
hammer and anvil club sat
around, spitting tobacco juice up-
on his boards; whittling uj> his
soft jiine with their old jack
knives, and telling him what a
fool he was to expect a big rain in
a country that was too dry to raise
alfalfa. But he kept at it; finally
the flood came, and every mother’s
son of the croakers was drowned.
This is the only instance, that we
know of, either in sacred or pro-
fane history, where a bunch of
knockers got exactly what was
coming to them.—Ex.

been a fugitive ever since. He
has been concealed by a negrt
woman. She was arrested and

walk on them, and later j>ut them
carefully in the culture incubator.
In 48 hours every joint upon
