THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Gsbe I.liras Submits Hts Views on
this Subject.
Just now we think we can see a
great political cloud arising that
will attract the attention of the
Democrats of this State from the is-
sues that vitally interest every cit-
izen of this great commonwealth.
Whether free r^w material or the
tariff Idea should prevail In this
state, will not affect us as citizens
one cent, one way or the other, why
all this hurrah? The great Repub-
lican party just now Is attending to
that part of our business with very
handsome majority and all the
fussing and hair pulling we can do
within our party in Texas don’t
change one line of our tariff laws.
It distracts our attention from the
main Issues that should be settled in
our state next year. We really
don’t believe the tariff is a political
question: It only applies itself to
certain localities or the business
one, as Texas Democrats that are in
the sheep and cattle business want
a tariff on wool and hides; Texas
Democrats that are in the lumber
bii'dntsg don’t >bi«vt to :i tariff on
lumber; Texas Democrats that are
in the rice and sugar business want
a tariff on rice ami sugar, and ou.*
Texas Democrats that are in the
manufacturing business feel very
comfortable under the present tariff
laws, so there you are and you can’t
get away from it, and our great in-
tellectual giants can’t make me see
it any other way than it’s not a
political issue so far as political
parties are concerned. The tariff
appeals to Democrats and Republi-
cans alike, it’s just owing to the
business you are in. We must not
forget submission and some ques-
tions of economy that actually In-
terest us all. GABE LUCAS.
BONHAM BUDGET.
News Notes of Interest From Fan-
nin County’s Capital.
Special to Daily Courier-Gazette.
Bonham. Sept. 20.—Cotton pick-
ing and corn gathering are the or-
der of the day in Fannin county.
The price for both is high, which
will be of great advantage to the far-
mers on account of the shortness of
the crop.
Hundreds of people are coming
back to Fannin county from other
sections of the State, many having
tried the “golden west.”
Criminal week of the district
court Is in session. The case of the
State of Texas vs. W. M. Newman,
charged with murder, resulted in
conviction, and his punishment as-
sessed at seven years in the peniten-
tiary. The case of the State of Tex-
as vs. Matt Darne, charged with at-
tempt to murder, is on trial
The public schools of Bonham
opened with the largest attendance
in their history. Many people are
coming here to take advantage of
the schools.
The $35,000 addition to the cotton
mills has been about completed and
the mill is running full time and
getting more orders than they can
fill.
Work on the T. A P. round house
is progressing rapidly.
The water supply of many towns
is getting very low, but Bonham still
has a great quantity on hand.
D. A. Baird who has been ill for
several months and who waR operat-
ed on some days ago, la reported to-
day to be in a very critical condi-
tion.
In the Cook-Peary controversies
Peary seems to have few admirers
in Bonham on account of his bull-
dozing manner.
The banks of the city have chang-
ed their working hours. They open
and close now like dry goods and
grocery stores. Usually the first
fellow who comes down opens up
and they proceed to business. This
change is hailed with delight by the
farmers and business men.
As yet Fannin county has produc-
ed no aspirant for gubernatorial
honors. We feel that every county
In the state ought to put up a man,
as only about nineteen counties are
trying to run the machine.

In our recent write-up of this
beautiful and progressive little
town, we got down as far as the
Citizens State bank. Turning the
corner at this bank, you will find
the large brick store of Hooten A
Davis, general merchandise, who do
an extepsive business. Mr. Hooten
is one of old landmarks of Prince-
ton, who has stood nobly by his town
in the days of its infancy, until it
has reached lovely womanhood, and
is branching out like a green bay
tree. Mr. Davis, his partner, is a
brother to Dr. R. L. Davis, a clever
and hightoned gentleman. Two targe
drug stores—The Princeton Drug
Co., J. D. Leach, manager, and Pol-
lard A Sides, one hardware and fur-
niture store, Z. W. Taylor, manager,
large lumber yard, A. J. Aycock,
proprietor. One restaurant, Milllgau
A Smith, proprietors, and a barber
shop, two blacksmith shops, one liv-
ery and sale stable, Rev. *3. W. Hack-
ney, proprietor; Telephone exchange.
Must not forget to mention the
Princeton Hotel, Mrs. Housmon, pro-
prietress, for it is here that you can
always g*t something good to eat
and a nice clean bed to sleep In. We
always look forward to our visits to
Princeton with much pleasure, for no
better people live in this world. The
town is on a tidal wave of prosperi-
ty and we wish it godspeed. At no
distant day we shall have occasion to
write up this town and its hospitable
people again.

the city Saturday preparing to go to

the last of his four years’ course in
the medical department of the State
University. He is taking the phar-
maceutical course. Henry la a most
promising young man, sure to make

Return to Collin County.
Mrs. Elmer Hodge and three chil-
dren have arrived from Carr, Mitch-
ell county, W’est Texas, and are vis-
iting at the home of her father, J. J.
Sportsman, one of McKinney's well
known liverymert. Mr. Hodge will
•don follow his family here and the
family will resume their residence
in old Collin. Mr. Hodge bought
land out west, but It was so dry that
farming proved a failure. Hence his
return to Collin.
Rev. J. H. Davis of Westminster
was here Saturday enroute tq Far-
mersvilie to fill an appointment
south of that place Sunday.
We acknowledge a pleasant visit, he
having called to renew for The Dem-
ocrat-Gazette. Rev. Davis has been
pastor of Snow Hill Baptist church
for the poet five yearn, and not only
preaches, but ralaen a crop every

MELIKS A ICE CREAM SUPPER.
Quite a Number Attended From This
City Saturday Evening.
The Ice cream supper given by
the ladies of the Christian church at
Melissa. Saturday night, was largely
attended, several from McKinney go-
ing up. Among those from here at-
tending were Misses Lizzie Hatler,
Vick Powers, Laura Hight, Lizzie
Barnes, Kate Scott, Nellie Daw,
Mrs. J. O. Belden; Mr. Horton, Bit
Hight, Miss Ona Massie; A. L. He
ler, Jack Weeks.
Although the party arrived some-
what late, on account of the Inter-
urban power “going dead,” the oc-
casion proved one of much enjoy-
ment to all.
Mrs. W. E. Marshall's hats are ac-
knowledged to be the prettiest in Mc-
Kinney. Ladies, you are always wel-
come at her store.
“Some Mule.”
Joe W. Barnes had one of the
largest young mules on the square
Saturday evening, we have ever
seen. It was only four years of
age, 17 hands high, and weighed
1300 pounds. It was raised in
Denton county. Mr. Barnes said the
mule would easily sell for $300. It
was certainly some mule.
A Handsome Home.
I now have listed with me, one of
the prettiest and most attractive
homes in the city. It consists of a
very large plot of ground, a good
modern residence, with all necessary
out-bulldlags, and is situated in the
best residence part of the city. Will
sell or trade for farm property, or
will take as part payment, a leas ex-
pensive house and lot. This bar-
gain can not remain on the market
long, and if you want to take advan-
tage of it, you had better see me
soon. L. C. CLIFTON.
