heard of it, and wanted to be on

stand they were not wanted ns
speakers, that it was strictly a I
non-politioal meeting.
8everal plain buaineae talks
were made as to the present dis
treusing conditions, and the best
way to altar them. It seemed to
be a recognised foot that leas
meat and flour must be bought
from abroad, and the several
middle men’s profits thus avert-
ed. It was a reoognised faot
that too much ootton is produoed
under present conditions, and
that that must be stopped, or
soma other ohange brought
about.
There was no permanent or-
ganization affected, but simply a
disoussion of ways and means.
This is c, good move, and if its
efforts are directed toward keep-
ing farmers from going in debt,
but living more at home, on
produots raised at home, then it
has a wide field of usefulness and
may accomplish muoh go >d.

number of names. The two
years sinoe the last election will
not have expired until Deo. 7,
next, yet so anxious are the
antis of Dublin preoinot to put

election that they oould not wait
until the time had expired. In
the reoent election in this pre-

the terrible expense of an election

Treasurer’s Quarterly Report.
Commissioners’Court of Erath
County, Texas, November
Term, 1897,
4 1
The Homer WIIhoii Leeture.
Every one should hear Homer
Wilson next Tuesday night in his
leoture “Amerioa’s Uncrowned
Queen.’’ He has delivered thie
leoture in nearly every state east
of the Rooky mountains, and
whether in cultured New England
or in the busy west he has always
delighted his audienoes. Our
people should give him a full
house.
Following are some of the
comments of this leoture:
Onoe in a long while—not very
often—there steps out upon tne
platform a man whom it does the
audience good to look at, even
before he begins to speak. A
man whom people instinctively
warm to’’; whom they just
know to be a man by the poise of
his head, and by the soldierly
build of him, and by tho way he
looks at them. And when he
speaks they see they were oor-
reot in their diagnosis; ho is a
man; and a man who has some-
thing to say that other men want
to hear; whioh they must hear.
And there are the oonviotions
back of the words that give them
power; and a oertain tenderneis
in the voioe that gives them
musio; and the man behind the
leoture that gives it sincerity.
That’s Homer T. Wilson of Ken-
tucky. No wonder people go to
hear him.—Robt. J. Burdette.
I take pleas jre in testifying to
the high oharaoter of Dr. Homer
T. Wilson and his ability as a
speaker. He is an impressive
and forceful speaker, a gentle-
man of great culture, and a
student of wide information
Ilia ability, oratory and personal
magnetism should assure him
the greatest suooess on the leoture
platform,—James B. McCrary
Ex-Governor of Kentuoky.
It was the grandest eulogy on
the sphere of womanhood that
has ever been delivered at the
Capitol, and the whole address
was one burst of sublime, class!)
oratory.—Nashville Amerioan:
In the Matter of the Quarterly
Report of G.E.Toliver,Coun-
ty Treasurer of Erath oounty,
Tex., and the affidavits of the
Commissioners of said oounty,
