.. Shot to Death.
' * « _
Last "Saturday evening at
Mbnkstown C. C. Head shot and
killed Wallace Lyons, who was a
son-in-law of Head. The dif-
ficulty grew out of family mat-
ters. Head had a second wife,
and it is said his children all op-
posed his marriage to the last
wife, Mrs. Lypns being one of
the children, and it is said the
difficulty originated by reason of
said last marriage of Mr. Head.
The News is informed that on
v.
Sunday evening Lyons went over
to the house of t Mr. Head - and
called for him, SWP^ffS^Heacl
came out of the house and he and
Lyons walked off to the horse lot
and had a good long conversa-
tion, after which Lyons started
off home. Head said something
to him and Lyons said all right,
and then Head pulled his pistol
and shot- Lyohs, who fell, but re-
gained his feet and started to
run, when Head shot him again,
killing him.
Head was arrested and'brought
to this place and is now in jail. - „

that there has been a case of
yellow fever in Bonham. This
report is being used in some
places by those whose only wish
is to divert trade from Bonham
to other points. Many people to
whom they tell it repeat it, be-
Jieving it to be so. , The News
would be the last one to suppress
the fact if there was or had been
any yellow *fever here. We have
'been assured by the physicians
who attended the case reported
to be yellow fever, that it was
not this disease, and that there

Local Option Election.
The school district in which
A
Nobility is situated held a local
option election last Tuesday, and
I local option was carried by a ma-

having the only still house, we
believe, in the county.

Saturday, Nov. 20, is the date
for the school trustees to meet in
Boa ham and carry ou t the pro-
gram as publisheddn last week’s
county papers. As county
superintendent, I desire to re-
quest the attendance of every
school trustee in the county.
The organization of the school
trustees will most certainly re-
sult in much good to the schools.
Let the * trustees prove their
interest in the public schools by
attending the Trustees’ Associa-
tion.
On the same day I desire the
teachers of the county to meet in
Bonham for the purpose of disr
cussing njatters pertaining to the
county institute work and a dis*
trict summer normal for 1898. I
hope that the teachers of the

Even had it been yellow fever,'
the time that has elapsed would be
sufficient to allay all fear of

Cases of diphtheria here among

and are yet several cases of this
disease, but net nearly so many
as fome people in the country
have heard. The homes infected
are flagged, as a warning, and
care is being taken to prevent
the spread of the disease. We
would not advise the people to
bring their small children to

are rarely affected, and adults
have nothing to fear from diph-

was taking subscriptions for a

duce subscribers to pay in ad-

soon be completed. ‘.This is quite aa
imposing structure lor a town of this
size, and.under the present manage-
ment, we will have one of the best
schools in North Texas.
This town is well supplied with pro-
fessional men. “We have three teach-
ers, three doctors and four preachers.
Our people are so well behaved we
have no need for a lawyer, and the
people are so healthy, or the doctors so
skillful, there is no neefjl for an under-
taker.
The gin at this place has put out
□early nine hundred bales of cotton,
and will probably reach .over one
thousand before the season closes, aa
there is much cotton to be gathered
yet.
A large crop of wheat has been sown,
and it is up and looking well.
Five cent cotton makes our farmers

Cheapness doesn’t mean merely little
money—it means value’for your money.
We don’t advertise cheapness because
that doesn’t express the fleets about the
BUCKSKIN BREECHES'. We tell you
that they are better in every way than
the Bo-caljed cheap goods—then we say
they dpn’t cost any more. If common
goods are cheap, what about good pants
at the same price. McDonald & Howell.
It is reported that the court of
Appeals has, in a. test cas6 that

The uotton crop is nearly all
gathered and the greater part of
it has been marketed and it will
not be very long until the entire
crop will have been sold. There
never has been a season before
in which the cotton was so rapidly
put upon the market as it has
been this fall.
Marion Martin, the little

Yes, it is very obstinate. “It
