The highest price ever paid at
any market for grass fed cattle
was paid in Fort Worth on Tues-
day of last week, when a load
averaging 1,311 pounds per head,
shipped from Uvalde county, was
bought in for $7.50 per hundred.
This is a good argument in favor
of raising more beeves and hogs,
and less cotton.
While politicians are in an ocean
of debate .and are screaming out
bad things about each other, the
people are doing their own think-
ing and Voting. The result, of
last Saturday’s precinct conven-
tions proves this assertion. The
state has been flooded with Clark
and Harmon literature and a score
or more campaign managers and
workers were imported from the
north to tell Texans how they
should vote. Even Senator Baily
hurried home from Washing-
ton to tell the people that
Woodrow Wilson is not a good
Democrat like himself. The
Clark-Harmon-Underwood com-
bine evqp resorted to sending out
false anil slanderous reports about
Wilson, hoping thereby to change
enough votes to accomplish his
defeat. But the men who cast
tbe ballots are demanding honest
politics and you cannot always
fool them. There no longer re-
mains a doubt about the majority
of tbe Texas democracy favoring
Woodrow Wilson for president,
but tbe opposition hope to defeat
tbe will of the people in the state
convention. Whether they will
or will not remains to be deter-
mined. '_

CITATION BY PUBLICATION
The State of Texas, to the Sheriff or
any Constable of Montgomery County
—Greeting:
You are hereby commanded to sum-
mon H. F. Stockbridge, whose resi-
dence is unknown and who plaintiffs be-
lieve to be d<Tad; the unknown heirs of
H. F. Stockbridge, by making publica-
tion of this citation once in each week
for eight successive weeks previous to
the return day hereof, in some news-
paper, published in your county, if there
be a newspaper published therein, but
if not, then in any newspaper published
in the ninth judicial district; but if
there be no newspaper published in said
judicial district, then in a newspaper
published in the nearest district to said
ninth judicial district, to appear at the
next regular term of the district court
of Montgomery county, to be holden at
the court house thereof in Conroe, or.
the second Monday in July, 1912, the

then and there to answer a petition
filed in said court on tbe 8th day of
May, 1912, in suit numbered on the
docket of said court No. 4759, wherein
L. B. Stockbridge and Thomas Stock-
bridge are plaintiffs and J. B. Bonner,
H. F. Stockbridge, unknown heirs of
H. F. Stockbridge, John Hamraan and
J. Llewellyn are defendants, said peti-
tion alleging:
That, heretofore, to-wit; on the first
day of December, 1910, plaintiffs were
lawfully seised aad possessed of all that
certain tract or parcel of land in Mont-
gomery count?, fossa, being a part of
the Jamee M. Everett survey which

thence north 556 vrs to the place of

That on said last named date defend-
ant unlawfully entered upon said prem-
ises and ejected plaintiffs therefrom
and now unlawfully withhold from
plaintiffs the possession thereof to
their damage in the sum of five thou-
sand dollars.
That the plaintiffs, L. B. Stockbridge,
claims all the right, title and interest
of said land as against H. F. Stock-
bridge and the heirs of H. F. Stock-
bridge under a deed heretofore mad i
and executed by said H. F. Stockbridge
to the said L. B. Stockbridge the
lands and premises described here-
in. The said deed has been lost or de-
stroyed. That the defendant, H. F.
Stockbridge and his heirs have and
claim no right and title to said land,
but the loss of said deed casts a cloud
upon the plaintiff’s title to said prem-
ises. That said deed contained cove-
nants of general warranty and passed
to said L. B. Stockbridge all the right,
title and interest that said H. F. Stock-
bndge then had in and to said land, or
that he might thereafter acquire.
Premises considered, plaintiffs pray
that the said defendants, H. F. Stock-
bridge and the unknown heirs of H. F.
Stockbridge, be cited by publication to
answer this petition, and the other de-
fendants haying alieady been cited,
plaintiff pray that upon a hearing
hereof they have judgment for the title
and possession of said premises, and
for costs of suit and generel and special
relief.
Herein fail not, but have before said
court on the said first day of next term
thereof, this writ, with jour retuin
thereon, showing how you have exe-
cuted tbe same.

the District Court of Montgomery
County.

said court, in the town of Conroe, this

Hundred* of Conroe Citizens Can Tell
Yon all About It
Home endorsement, the public ex-
pression of Conroe people, should be
evidence beyond dispute for every Con-
roe reader. Surely the experience of
friends and neighbors, cheerfully given
by them, will carry more weight than
the utterances of strangers residing in
far away places. Read the following:
C. T. Darby, justice of the peace and
mayor, Conroe, Texas, says; “I have
no reason to change my high opinion of
Doan’s Kidney Pills. I have not needed
them since I used and publicly endorsed
them in May, 1906. I suffered from
rheumatic twinges in the small of my
buck and was caused annoyance by tbs
irregular action of the kidneys. I pro-
cured u box of Doan’s Kidney Pills
from tbs Corner Drug filers and used
them in small dome. They not only
corrected the kidney weakness, but
alee removed the soreness and pains ia
