AVOID SPRING COLDS.
Sudden changes, high winds, shift-
ing seasons cause colds and grippe,
ami these spring eolds are annoying
an.l dangerous and are likely to turn
Into a chronic summer cough. In such
cases lake a treatment of Dr. Kink's
New Discovery, a pleasant—Laxative
Tar Syrup. It soothes the cough,
checks the cold and helps break up
an attack of grippe. It’s already pre-
pared, no ml icing of fussing. .lust
ask your druggist for a bottle of Dr.
King’s New Discovery. Tested and
tried for 40 years. d&w

The Spectacled Bear,
The si>ectacled bear of Ecuador Is bo
called because of a patch of white
around each eye, which makes the ani-
mal look as though he was peering
through a pair of great spectacles. In
size and general color the spectacled
bear looks not unlike the American
black bear. But Its hair Is very shag-
gy. At eachr side of the head Is
white bar, which gives the animal the
appearance of wearing a halter. But
the most distinctive feature Is the
white around the eyes.

NOW ITS A DOZEN
WINS FOR DENISON
SHF.RM \N BOYS JUST COULDN’T
LAND EITHER OF YESTER-
DAY’S DOUBLE HEADER.
Den Ison won its twelfth straight
victory over Sherman yesterday be-
fore the largest crowd <if the season,
including a host of Denison ringers,
by annexing both games of a double
header. 3 to 0 and 7 To 4, the same
score* In reversed orders as the double
header played last week. For the
twelfth straight tilde l’l-chlcs' squad
demonstrated Its ability to win from
the. luekless Lions. Playing ill a crip-
pled condition with Nokes mil of Up;
game heeause of a sprained ligament,
.necessitating the playing of Higgin-
botham on third, the loeals ppt up a
hard fight hut wore finally outplayed
in both contests.
Ezra Glenn maintained Ids untar-
nished record against the local club,
chunking the Railroaders to a three-
nothing shutout over Shlpe In the
first game. Hits, errors, slow fielding
anil aggressive bnso running ^were re-
siKwislhle for llie three runs ” counted
by Denison III two Innings. A single
and throe snerlflee lilts figured In
the first marked scored In the fourth
when n fnst double play, retiring a
runner at first and home, out off fur-
ther runs. A glean lilt, a scratch and
two errors, wore made to count two
more in the fifth.
The second game, a free hitting nf
fair, finally went to the visitors 111
the tenth inning when the final halting
spree of Peebles’ sound was staged
with Corzlnc delivering, having repine
ed Fsireloth in the eighth. The loealR
established a threernn lead which the
Hnllronders overcame in the seventh
when Fair-dotti loosened up fot- a quar-
tet of hits, including an extra base
wallop. Jansen’s single and Campbell's
iliW-hngger forged one ahead In the
eighth. In tlielr half of the eighth
Sherman ngain tied the count on two
hits and an error. Frantz protested
the game In fills lulling I km-a use Mor--
gan refused to let Harrison hat for
Ymink man after one hall had lieen
pitched to Younkman.
Corzlnc essayed mound duty In llie
iililth and retired the side in three up,
three down fashion. Sherman failed
to count In the ninth and In the tenth
Denison landed on Oorzlne for three
runs on ns many hits and duchitig
the twelfth straight win.
Yesterday was not. a day of individ-
ual star work-."- Both games were
marked by ragged support at limes,
•nid the Kherinart Infield was consid-
erably slowed by the absence of
Nokes. Umpire Morgan's decisions
were often doubtful and Ills work In
general unsatisfactory. Scores:
off Fain-loth 10 In 8 Innings, off Con |
zinc 3 In 2 innings. Tithe of game—2
hours. Umpire—Morgan.

According to the report of the game
given in the McKinney Dally Courier-
Gazette, the Sherman hankers came
very near having their gold standard
prop knocked from under them in the
Fourth of July game at the capital of
Collin, a ‘‘Sunday school" hunch pnt-
tlng it over them hy a score of 16 to
4—almost Silver Dick Bland's propos
ed ratio.
Here is wliat the McKinney paper
says:
“In a game of h»selmll at Fair Park
this city, this morning between the M.
A P. National Brink team, Sherman,
and a team of the First Christian
church Sunday school of this city, the
Shcrnmn hoys went down In defeat—
the score being sixteen to four ”
Just for the sake of curiosity the
Courier-Gazette should have named
the batteries. No doubt those Sunday
school lads are “flic snme haffery boys
who have lieen making the high school
and Independent hnseliRlI aggregations
that have recently.visited McKinney
so hard to catch. Anyhow, It Is good
to know flint those boys go to Sunday
school- all hnsehall players should go
to Sunday school.
Yesterday’s Ticket Sales 1,695.
The number of tickets sold for the
Sherman-Deiilson dvuble header yes-
terday- was 1.695.
The' grandstand and hlenehers were
comfortably crowded, and many vlsl
furs were here from Bonham, Durant.

SHERMAN'S OLD CEMETERY.

Mrs. Lankford's Desire Is to See the
Place Properly Cared For.
Sherman, July 4, 1916.
Editor Democrat:
111 justice to me and my preferences,
will you kindly correct a statement
which apiieared In the Democrat this
afternoon?
In speaking of my appearance before
the city commission last night, your re-
imrter quoted me as asking that body
to convert the old cemetery Into
park. For six years I have stood, and
still stand, uneomproiuisingly agulnst
such a movement.
Probably not five hundred people In
Sherman are aware of the existence of
this cemetery, which lies just west of
South Rusk street, and south of King.
Here are hurled many of the brave
men and women who came to this
country, to encounter all the hardships
and privations of pioneer life, la-set by
the iierils of savage Indians and wild
beasts, separated from home and
friends, deprived of the comforts apd
pleasures of civilization, and subject
to all the Ills common to a new coun
try. With zeal and courage horn of
true- heroism, they “pitched tlielr teats
and set up their household goods” in
this land of golden promise, and made-
possible for us our present glorious,
realization of their prophetic efforts.
A few of tlu-ir graves are marked,
ami on the stones are names Indissol-
ubly linked In the early history of
Sherman and Gray sop county, Many
of our old inhabitants will ree:all them
with .Affectionate veneration. They
sleep silently under the deep shadows
of beautiful old tree/, which are the
only iK-autlful things that characterize
this seemingly forgotten God’s acre.
A rude fence surrounds it, and weeds
grow ns tall as a man's head over it
year after year. By some discrepancy
In the city Hues, it lies in the interior
of the block, and lias no means of ac-
cess to the public. Except for God’s
sunshine and blue sky and grand old
trees, It. is Indeed a desolate and for-
saken sjiot, hut susceptible to easy
beautification.
For this once, at least, no one can
truthfully question the unselfish inter-
est I feel In this resting place of .Sher-
man's -heroic dead, for no kith or kin
of mine lies there. I never saw the
face of any human who is buried there.
But I do feel a profound gratitude to,
and unchanging admiration for the men
and women who established for us so
goodly a heritage, and a Gush of
shame creeps over, my face when I see
their burial place so neglected.
My dream is, tot see this cemetery
kept clean and orderly as West Hill,
with seats and walks, and eventually
some kind of monument erected there
to the memory of our first settlers. I
asked the city commission to dignify
this holy place in a name, aud sug-
gested “Pioneers’ Cemetery.” Surely
Sherman will lie sufficiently interested
to join In my ambition.
Sincerely,
MRS. W. II. LANKFORD.
