COUNTY* NEWS*!
BOIS D’ARC RIDGE.-
Dear old Sagadahok, since,you have
reminded me that I am missed, J will
drop in just this one more time, any-
way, and chat with you all awhile. I
believe that you have somewhat the
same feeling that I have for the good
News and correspondents. It is cer-
tainly not for any forgetfulness of or
lack of regard for you all that I have
been silent as long as I have; but, as
I imagine it is with Bill, I find that
the interests and demands of married
life are so numerous and disconcert-
ing that it is hard to do anything out-
side of the routine of home duties,
with anything like regularity or sys-
tem. I find also that even a school
teacher, who is supposed to possess
some powers of concentration, if she
becomes a wife and housekeeper, soon
loses all semblance of such powers,
that Is, when it comes to anything
that requires more mental activity
and control than the cooking of a
meal, the mending of socks and stock-
ings, feeding and counting the chick-
ens. So. even if we determine to do
such a thing, and take our chair with
pen in hand, it is hard for us to keep
our Droughts under control long
enough to write, anything that we can
think is fit for publication. And be-
sides, when one is away from home (I
mean the old home where they were
raised, and where mother and father
are) they must take so much time to
write to parents, sisters, brothers and
friends. But it is pleasant to know
that, although we are so preoccupied,
and unable, it may be, to write a let-
ter that will please the trained ear or
the critical eye, we have friends who
are always glad to hear from us, and
who chide us for neglect of duty. It’s

We are close enough to the school-
house now that our “chieftain” can
come home for his dinner. He opened
school the first Monday in this month.
Attendance is very slim, as yet. The
people are busy gathering their meagre
crops of cotton, and the weather lias
been very unfavorable to their
progress.
Our Sunday school is very good. We
have prayer, meeting at the scliool
house on Wednesday nights.
Bro. L. P. Smith, pastor of the M.
E. churches at Windom and Dodd
City, conducted a meeting for us, be-
ginning Wednesday before the fifth
Sunday, ulst., and lasting one week.
Ilis sermons throughout the time
were biblical, plain and practical, and,
irresistable in their influence. There
were seventeen conversions, and
about twelve joined the Methodist
church. Bro. Smith possesses that
true mind and soul education, that
calm dignity, and that earnest, uu-
swerveable devotion to the Master’s
cause that we think should cliarac-
terize the ministry more generally.
There have been several deaths in
our midst this fall. Messrs. John
Kirk, Sam Whitten and- Blair,
and the little eight-year-old daughter
of a widow, Mrs. Head, were those
nearest us. The first and last named
died of swamp fever. There is little
sickness now, that we know of.

Charged with Aggravated Assault
Friday night Zilliox, an apple
peddler, put lip at Barrett’s wagon
yard on South Main street. Dur-
ing the night, some of his apples
seem to have disappeared in some
way, and a dispute arose about
the matter between the apple
man and W. L. Barrett and son,
Lee. From words they went to
blows, a broom handle in the
hands of one of the Barretts
playing its part by cutting a gash
ip "Zilliox’ head, putting him out
of commission. Bleeding pretty
freely, the apple man was taken
to Dr. Neal’s office by Sheriff
Wise, and his wounds were
dressed. Deputy Sheriff Jernigan
was dispatched to the scene of
trouble and required Barrett and
son to give bonds on charges of
aggravated assault. Before the
sheriff’s force took the matter in
charge, however, the city author-
ities had taken the matter in
hand, intending to let the parties
plead guilty to simple assault,pay
off their fines and release them.
However, when Sheriff Wise saw
how badly the man was hurt, he
took the case in his hands, mak-
ing out complaints charging Bar-
rett and son with aggravated as-
sault and battery.
The Barretts furnished satis-
factory bonds, and the case will
come up at the next term of the
county court.
Died at Ravenna.
The little child of Mr. and
Mrs. C. F. Christenson, of ^Ra-
venna, died at the family home
late Sunday afternoon. Its death
came very suddenly, having been
sick only a day or two of diph-
theria.
Tbe funeral took place yester-
day afterapon at 2 o’clock, inter-
ment following immediately
thereafter in the Ravenna ceme-
tery.

Severely Hurt by Horse.
Last Friday afternoon Jim
Russell, who lives a mile and a
half northeast of the city, was
severely hurt by being knocked
down by his own horse, which
was driven by his son dur-
ing the stock show. Mr. Russell
is an oldgentleman, and has been
nearly blind for a number of
years. He was attending the
stock show, and attempted to go
across the street from the Ingram
house to Wilson’s stable just as
the horses were being driven by.
His son, Bob*, was driving, and
saw his father, but could not stop
the horse before it struck the fa-
ther and knocked him down. Mr.
Russell was picked upunconcious
and taken into a house nearby.
Dr. Martin was summoned, and
attended him. He was found to
be hurt on the head, one ear be-
ing badly lacerated. It was
thought that amputation of that
member would be necessary.
Otherwise, his injuries are not
serious.
An Editor Is Captain.
Recently Major Jules E.
Muchert, of Sherman, went over
to Tioga ami mustered the Mili-
tary Company of that place into
the Texas National Guard as Co.
I of the Fourth Regiment.
Forty-one names were entered
upon the original muster roll,
and there are others that will en-
list later. The Company will be
known as the “Matt Bradley Ri-
fles,” and will go to Austin to
the State encampment on Dec. 2.
But the above caption reminds
us that we should state that an
editor is captain of the Company,
and he is none other than James
Leonard Webb, editor of the
Tioga Herald, a most excellent
little paper published in that lit-
tle city that has become famous
as a health resort.
It will be remembered that
Leonard is an old Bonham boy.
When we remember that fact, it
is easy to account for the honor
conferred upon him.
We salute you, Captain Webb!
