For Commissioner, Precinct No. 3.
Complying with numerous solicita-

over this precinct, and conforming to
my own laudable ambition (to hold
one of the most responsible positions
within the gift of the people of this
county, I hereby announce myself as
a candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for county commissioner, pre-
cinct three, of Parker county.. It is,
in my opinion, entirely too early to
begin a campaign for the office, and I
would not make this announcement
now but for the fact that my friends
over the precinct, knowing that I have
had the matter under consideration
for some time, are urging mb to make
known my intentions.
I never held office in my Efe and I
never offered for an office .but once
before. Two years ago I made a cam-
paign over precinct three for the same
office I now aspire. I was not sue-"
cessful, but I got acquainted with the
people, and 1 feel like I owe a debt of
gratitude to the people for the kind
treatment I received during my cam-
paign. If the people of precinct three
see proper to nominate me-at the com-
ing primary, and then elec,! me at the
general eletcion, I will endeavor, to
the best of my ability, to give the peo-
ple a square deal and an economical
administration, so far as I am able.
There are several qualities a man
should have to make a good officer,

A New Tear Surprise.
Thursday afternoon a number of
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Ab-
bott, who live seven miles south of
Weatherford, paid this good couple a
friendly visit. Mr. Abbott has been
kept at home most of the time for
some months by sickness, and on ac-
count of this fact his friends wanted
to carry a little sunshine into his
home life. Mr. Abbott is a Royal Arch
Mason and an honored member of
Weatherford Chapter No. 105. He has
always been present when there was
work to do, but on account of his sick-
ness was unable to attend its recent
meeting. His absence was noted, and
a visit by some of the members was
planned. As a token of the esteem in
which this aged couple is held, the
Chapter presented each a gold headed
umbrella, engraved on each was their
name and from Weatherford Chapter
No. 105, Jan. 1, 1914. Dr. Chas. Mac-
Nelly made the presentation address
in a few appropriate remarks, which
was responded to by “Uncle George,”
who expressed their deep appreciation
for being so kindly remembered by
their friends. While he said words
could not express their feeling, their
countenance brightened as their eyes
dimmed and their emotions spoke
louder than words the feelings they
could not express. Those present were
Mr. and Mrs. George Newman, Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Long Sr., Dr. and Mrs.
Ferry, Mr. and Mrs\ L. M. Bailey, Mr.
and Mrs. J. M. Sparks, Mrs. W. C.
Long Jr., Dr. Chas. MacNelly, John R.
Brown and little grandson, Dick Rugg
of Houston, Frank R. Putman, Jack
Crosby, Jordan Shaw and J. E. H.
Rialley.
An hour was spent in pleasant con-
versation, and as the friends started
to leave, they were escorted to the din-
ing room where refreshments consist-
ing of cake and home-made grape
wine were served.
Knights Install Officers.
Lone Star Lodge No. 4, Knights of

I am in favor of good roads at just
as little expense as possible. 1 be-
lieve that each public road should
have Its pro rata share of the work,
according to the necessity of the work,
and not make pie of one community
and crust of another, for the people
pay taxes to keep up the roads and
they all want to be remembered in
the matter. I am not throwing slang
at anybody, but I am speaking what
I think is right. If everybody would
go by the golden rule, all would get
justice. I would like to say more, but
space will not allow. If anyone wants
to know how I stand on any question,
just ask me and I will take pains and
answer you in as nice a manner as,I
know how.
With best regards to all, I remain,
