Two real estate deals were re-
ported to the Signal by Mr. J. B.

Dr. Gilmer Walcott, who is

The life of the actor and ac-
tress,when viewed from the dress
circle, is one of charming aban-

the foot lights are extinguished
and the glitter of tinsel is no
longer seen, the rough spots may
be discerned without glasses. A
whole company tramping down
the Santa Fe last Friday morn-
ing, with their baggage in soak
for an overdue board bill, is one
of the pictures that comes to mind
just now to remind us that the
seeker after histrionic fame does
not always travel flower-strewn
paths.

A Terrible Accident.
Yesterday morning, near Bois
d’Arc, Prof. Thomas Gwaltney
was the victim of an accident
which will doubtless result in the
loss of his arm and may cost him
his life. Full particulars could
not be obtained, but the gentle-
man who came for a doctor said
that Prof. Gwaltney was out hunt-
ing and in some way his gun was
accidentally discharged, practi-
cally tearing off his right arm
and seriously wounding his left
hand. We deeply sympathize
with this noble young man in the
terrible misfortune that has over-
taken him and sincerely hope
that his wounds are not as bad
as reported.
A coffin was sent out from here
Wednesday for Miss M. E. Gauf,
who died Tuesday night at the

A Mr. Potts, of near Dodds
died Wednesday of lock-jaw. A
few days before he stuck a splin-
ter under his finger nail which of
course caused him great pain at
the time, but no attention was
paid to the wound. Tuesday
night lock-jaw set up and he
died in a few hours.

The tabernacle meeting con-

were three conversions at the

Mr. W. Z. Davis, the farmer
whose reason was dethroned
while attending a Holiness meet-
ing at Allen’s Point, a few weeks
since, passed through the city,
Monday, in charge of assylum

is already much improved and
the physicians believe a short
stay at Terrell will effect a com-
plete restoration of his mental
faculties.

To-morrow we are to have with
us a man who eats snakes. That
man is fearfully and wonderfully
made we have known for a long
time,but never did we dream that
there was on earth a human being
whose digestive organs and gas-
tronomic accomplishments were
such that he could make a meal
of a live rattler or copperhead.
People who have seen the rep-
tile eater say that he actually
seizes a living, writhing, slimy
serpent and eats it, head, tail and
all, with as much relish as a
hungry laborer stows away a
juicy beef-steak.

ranch in Menard county.

The trial of Lucius Hindman,
charged with murder, is on this
week at Sedalia, Mo., and a ver-
dict is expected by Saturday
night. Lucius has written his
friends here that he has good
hopes of establishing his plea of
self-defense.
In the celebrated Holt-Trout
yearling case tried at Bonham
last week the jury returned a
verdict in favor of Mr. Trout.
This yearling was worth proba-
bly twenty dollars when the suit
for ownership began, and the
costs in the various trials aggre-
gate about $500. Verily, the
steer has proved a fruitful cause
of litigation and no better friend
to the officers and lawyers has
ever appeared upon the scene in
this precinct.
We are agents for the Belle-
ville steam and horse power
threshers and “Jumbo” engines.
We want to make figures for you

It has been quite a time since

mous by Pug Johnson's “rise in

Do you wake up in the morning tired and unre-
freshed? Do you perform your daily duties
languidly? Do you miss the snap, vim and
energy that was once yours? If this describes
your condition you are in urgent need of
PRICKLY ASH
BITTERS
Your trouble arises in a clogged and torpid condition of the liver
and bowels which, if allowed to continue, will develop mala-
rial fevers, kidney disorders or some other troublesome
disease. PRICKLY ASH TITTERS drives out all
poisonous impurities, strengthens the vital
organs, promotes functional activity,
good digestion, and vigor and
energy of body and brain.
Departed.
It is with deep sorrow that we
chronicle the death of Mrs. Bet-
tie Lane, wife of Mr. W. H. Lane,
which sad event occurred last
Friday. She had been in poor
health for the past two years and
when an attack of pneumonia
came her constitution was too
weak to battle with the destroyer
and she yielded up her being
and went to dwell in the land
where pain cometh not. Mrs.
Lane grew to lovely womanhood
in Honey Grove, and the circle
of those who loved her while liv-
ing and sorrow over her seeming
untimely death is only limited by
the bounds of her acquaintance..
She was the daughter of Capt.
and Mrs. T. R. Baird, and this
aged couple, nowin the gloam-
ing of life’s eve, are bowed in
sorrow because of the departure
^ of their only daughter. In an-
other home utter desolation
broods and tear-dimmed eyes
cannot see through the heavy
mists of grief. There a loving
husband sits beneath a load of
affliction that crushes his very
being, and four children, bereft
of the hallowed influence of a
mother’s love, find no palliation
for their grief—no surcease of
sorrow.
To recount the losses the world
sustains when a good woman
dies our thoughts are too feeble.
We behold the sorrow and min-
gle our tears with the afflicted,
but our limited conception of the
value of the true, the beautiful
and the good shuts from our view
the real loss that comes to the
world when a beautiful life is
closed on earth. But the radi-
ance of such a life will linger,
and its influence will be with us
to cheer and to bless as long as
memory sits enthroned and mor-
tal mind is unclouded.
To the bereaved our hearts go
out in sympathy and our pray-
ers are that God in his own way
will stop the wounds of the bleed-
ing hearts, and for the sorrows
of separation on earth will sub-
stitute the joyful anticipation of
the meeting around the great
white throne.
The funeral took place at the
residence Saturday morning, con-
ducted by her pastor, Rev. J. S.
Groves, and then friends and
relatives followed the honored
bier to Oakwood where the re-
mains were laid to rest beneath a
bank of flowers.

A Statement.
(Advertisement.)
Learning that it has been re-
ported that I have, during my
term of office as Constable, made
but two arrests for gambling,
and as such a statement is liable
to injure me if believed by the
people, I desire to submit a few
facts taken from the records in
Esq. McGaughey’s office. I took
charge of the office in the latter
part of November, 1898, and
from that date to April 25th,
1900—about 17 months—there
have been 94 convictions for
gambling alone, of persons ar-
rested by me and my deputies.
The fines and costs assessed and
collected on these convictions a-
mount to $2,363,55—about $25.15
per case. Figures will not lie
and they speak more eloquently
than mere statements. I sub-
mit the above and respectfully
ask all concerned to call and ex-
amine the docket for themselves.
For the sake of convenience I
have made a list of all the cases
and with this any person can go
through the records and obtain
the facts in a few minutes. The
above-named convictions were all
from arrests made by me and my
deputies and do not include any
arrests made by the Deputy
Sheriff or City Marshal.
Respectfully,
Jule Baughn.
Take Notice.
All persons are warned that it
is against the law to lariat stock
on streets or alleys in Honey
Grove. I do not wish to make
any arrests for this practice but
must enforce the law. Please
take notice.—Dan Brown, Mar-
shal. _____

Public Speaking.

interest of Judge E. S. Chambers,

The trial of Oscar L. Price, on
a charge of murder,took place at
El Paso this week and resulted
in a hung jury—eleven standing
for acquital and one for convic-
tion. The particulars of this
case are known to a majority of
our readers. Mr. Price killed a
man in Jeff Davis county about
two years ago, in a difficulty of
political orign. All the evidence
that has reached us goes to show
that the killing was done in self-
defense. At the first trial Mr.
Price was convicted, and. his
punishment assessed at five
years imprisonment, but a new
trial was immediately granted.
The fact that eleven of the jury-
men stood for acquital at the re-
cent trial leads us to believe that
Mr. Price will at the next trial
be acquitted.
