Hi
The executive committee has
ruled that Fannin county will hold
only one primary.
When the rain ceases, even for a
day, some of our enterprising far-
mers come to town with'something
to sell, and they sell it too.
Late reports are to the effect
that Senator Bailey’s throat trou-
ble h*w developed something more
serious. His many Texas friends
hope for his speedy recovery.
About one third of the male
population surrounding Savoy, as-
sisted in pulling the ox out of the
ditch last Sunday, but he slid
back in Sunday night.
A heavyjaail at Chillicothe this
week damaged the wheat crop con-
siderably, broke windows and beat
boles in the houses. One calf jg
reported killed.
Great preparations? are being
made in Dallas for the Elks. The
4ime is not far off when the big
convention will be held and Dallas
means to do herself proud,
It would seem to a looker-on
that Lyon is next to Roosevelt
when it comes to handling the big
stick. When he commands the
Texas delegation they obey.
The Republican National con-
vention has been reported as a
very tame affair. It has been
handicapped by having the Man
behind the scenes and not in the
front row.
The old settler and the new
comer are alike, out of a job. None
of them ever saw it like this be-
fore. In the long ago a country
stood a famine for seven years and
this may be only a case of history
repeating itself.
Fourth of July celebration news
is being circulated at different pla-
ces The Star hopes by the time
the glorious fourth rolls' round,
the people will feel like rejoicing
and w»M have an oldfashioned cele-
bration.
F. M. Brallev, agent of the Con- j
ference of education is doing a fine
work and arousing an interest
along educational lines all over
the state. Texas is far behind oth-
er states in public school matters.
Her terms are short, her attend-
ance poor and her equipments
worse. We would be glad to see
an edncational wave sweep the
whole state and revolutionize our
school system and the patrons as
well. -
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
(All announcements under this
head, unless otherwise specified, are
subject to the action of the demo-
cratic primary.)
Acting upon a petiton signed by
nearly 500,000 people, Governor
Wilson of Kentucky issued an un*
conditional pardon to Caleb Pow-
ers and James B. Howard who
were convicted of complicity in
thd assassination of Senator Go-
bell. Powers has been tried four
times and has been confined in
jail for several years. In stating
his reasons for the pardon the
governor said he believed the men
were perfectly innocent of the
crime.
The Texas Commercial Secreta-
ries’ Association is running on the
platform of “Fewer Laws Better
Laws,’1 We are strictly in favor
of the principle and believe there
are laws now on the statutes that
should be repealed or amended and
others thaV_should be strengthen-
ed. The Association has not ex-
pressed itself on any certain laws;
but agrees that there are so many
no man can be sure he is not vio-
lating one. We l>elieve in Jews
being made so plain and simple
that anybody can understand them.

A farmer sent the following
note to a Bartlesville merchant:
‘Send me a sack of flour, five
pounds of coffee and one pound of
tea. My wife gave birth to a big
baby boy last night, also .five
pounds of starch, a screw driver
and a fly trap. It weighed ten
pounds and a straw hat.
Ever optimistic the Dallas Times-
Herald predicts the farmers of
North Texas -mil yet harvest
bumper crops. Well in this imme-
diate section if they don’t it will
not be because they did not try.—
Denison Herald. ^
You cap harvest a fine crop of
frogs, mosquitos and chiggers and
not half try. The crop of fishes
however, has been partly drowned
out on account of so much rain. I
have reached the latter conclusion
after two efforts to land a good
catch.—Bonham News.
Don’t overlook the crop of water
cress and grass.

The-Star has received Vol. 1, No.
I, cif the Millsap News published
by Ed F. Brown, formerly of Bells.
This is the first paper Millsap has
ever had and the people will per-
haps appreciate it and gt /q it the
patronage it deserves.
Through Mr. Randell’s efforts
Bonham is to have a federal build-
ing, something that not only Bon-
ham, but all of Fannin county will
be proud of. His six years of faith-
ful service is now bearing satisfac-
tory fruit, and why should his con-
stituents even think about ex-
changing him for untried material.
What can the boy who loafs
around town playing ball when
there is so much work done
promise himself? Wliat^fffll be-
come of him when age undermines
his strength? There \v;ll lie only
one way open to him, and that will
be the way to the poor house.
Study about it boys, and rest as-
sured that if you ever accumulate
anything you must begin in your
young manhood—Van Alstyne
Leader.
What can parents promise them-
selves when they allow their boys
to form the habit of loafing on the
streets? Loafing boys make loaf-
ing men.
It has rained the split log drag
out of commission and with it our
drag enthusiasm. But when the
sttn peeps out long enough to form
a little crust on top of the ground,
we think of the drag again. It
made a wonderful improvement on
ihe road and streets where it was
frwpieatly used *. -- ,

HANGED HIMSELF.
Tobe Crittenden, an unmarried
man some forty-five or fifty years
of age, committed suicide at Ector
Sunday. He lived with his broth-
er, Bus Crittenden. His mind had
become unbalanced, and the fami-
ly had been watching him for sev-
eral days. Sunday he seemed al-
right and the family went to
church and left him akJiome alone.
At 11:30 a neighbor passing saw
him sitting in the house reading a
newspaper. When his brother re-
turned from church he missed Tobe
and on searching the house found
him upstairs hanging by a rope
from the rafters. He at once cut
the body down and summoned a
physician, hut death had resulted
from strangulation and it was im-
possible to resuscitate him.
The dead man had taken a small
roj<e and tied one end of it to a
cross piece holding the ratters to-
gether. He then mounted a chair,
tied the other end of the rope a-
round his neck and kicked the
chair from under himself. He had
attempted suicide before this time.
His father committed suicide some
years ago and a brother also took
his own life, three of them meeting
their deaths within a radius of fif-
ty yards from the house where the
last one died.
Justice Lipscomb went out and
held an inquest and rendered a ver-
dict that the unfortunate man
came to his death by means of his
own hands.—Bonham News.
ANOTHER STORM
SWEPT SAVOY.

Yesterday Morning About-10
O’clock—But People

Storm-Cellars
AS SEEN BY A VISITOR.
Another storm struck Savoy yes-
terday morning about 10 o,ck>ck.
Not a Tornado however, neither an
electric storm, but the people cf
Savoy could have been no worse
shocked had a thunder-bolt de-
scended from the clear blue sky
and rent the city in twain. We
first had thought it a band of
frontier cow boys as they boldly
dashed into the main street with
spur and quirt riding on both sides
of five well groomed fteeds, which
were drawn up in, front of the Star
office. The riders proceeded to
dismount and take in the town.
They are bank robbers one fel-
low said, while another pronounc-
ed them Texas Rangers. But in
both instances the guesser was
wrong. The quintette was five
young Bells belles in divided skirts
minus the Merry Widow hat. The
absence of the latter could not l>e
accounted for unless they desired a
little “tanning” which they will
evidently get when mama finds it
out. R. M. Hays,

“Dyspepsia.” wrote Eugene Field,
“often incapacitates a man for endeavor
and sometimes extinguishes the fire of
ambition.” Though great despite his
Complaint Field suffered from indiges-
tion all his life. A weak, tired stomach
can’t digest your food. It needs
rest. You can only rest it by the use
of a preparation like Kodol, which re-
lieves it of work by digesting your food.
Rest soon restores It to iU normal tone.
