Thb Nbws failed to see a few
weeks ago the announcement that
R. W. Fanning, of Mt. Vernon,
had bought a halfinterest in the
Sulphur Springs Gazette. Mr.
Fanning is an excellent news-
paper man, and as the Gazette
has long been one of the best ot
county papers, he has ample room
tor the exercise of bis talents.
Mr. Fanning was educated at
Carlton College years ago, when

An Atchison man lately tried

Any fool that would ask a ques-

Harriman poses as the reformer

k form that the State and federal
commissions fight.—San Antonio

Now it Mr. Jerome had gone

—The Commoner.
Maybe that’s the reason he
didn’t go after them. He didn’t
want the old penitentiary full of
such men. He wanted to save it
for plain, honest thieves and cut-
throats, who would have been
contaminated by such associa-
tions. _
When a man in public life
ceases to- work for his own in-

man in public life who ceases to
work for the public interest and
spends his time in building up
his private fortune, at once be-

No reference to any allusion,
we hope, gentlemen?
wives of the farmers of Texas
have made about as much net
money from eggs, chickens, tur-
keys, butter and such things
within the last five years as their
husbands have made from their
crops. This mav appear to be an
extravagant statement, but it is
a true one. If any one does not
beiieve it, let him inquire as to
how it is that the wives and
daughters of farmers now dress
so much better than thev did a
few years ago. State Press knows
of one farmer’s wife who raised
$70 worth of turkeys in one year,
and every dollar of it she put on
herself and daughters. She
raised chickens and sold them,
eggs and butter, and her receipts
from these sources could not
have been less*than $250, includ-
ing her receipts from the turkeys.
To the town woman who has to
go about “dressed up” all the
time, this amount would not ap-
pear to be a large one on which
to dress two females, but in the
country where the women are
content to dress simply most of
the time, it is a good amount to
spend for clothes. The news-
papers in every part of the State
are urging the farmers to pay
more attention to poultry. They
are citing cases of where good
profits have been made in it, and
the poultry show is now common
in all localities.—Dallas News.

But if the party ever puts them

We are going to line up next
year. Well, we won’t have any
contest over the Governor, he is
all right. But from the Governor
down—including the Lieutenant
Governor. (Laughter and ap-
plause.) A Lieutenant Gover-
nor, who as the presiding officer
of the Senate, ought never to be
trusted with that high office a
second time. (Applause.) It
will never be done again in
Texas. Mark my words for it.
We will teach him a lesson. He
needs it. He will get it, as sure
as God lives and rules the Uni-
verse. I have a letter, written
to me before the Senate con-
vened, in which I was warned
that the Lieutenant Governor
was going to pack the Senate
Committee on Investigating. He
did it. I will pay him for it. If
God lets me live I will pay him
for it. (Applause.)

Here is how the editor of the
Center Advocate explains to
curious friends his posession of
an uncommonly black eye: “The
Advocate editor is afflicted with
a very large black eye, and his
friends have asked a great many
questions about it. In order to
save time we have decided to pub-
lish the facts about that eye,
which, briefly stated, are as fol-
lows: We undertook to lick a
large, well-made gentlemen from
Dreka, Texas. We did not lick
him. That’s all.”
J. K. Johnson Writes.
Sterrett, I. T., March 1.—
Dear News: I will try to per-
form a duty which has been bear-
ing on my mind for some time—
the duty of writing you a news-
letter trom this place.
We have just passed through
the first Democratic primary the
city has ever had. The test shows
that the Democrats are four ^nd
one-half to one of all other par-
ties. Our city election will be on
the first Tuesdaj in April.
We have organized a large club
of all political parties that is
working to get the county site tor
Sterrett. We have the grit and
the grace and the Durant people
say we must certainly have nerve
to get up against them and con-
test against such odds, but we
have encouragement that actually
gives us hope for success.
This city and county are mov-
ing along nicely in the wav of
improvements. New buildings
going up all around, and at the
present rate the city will soon be
dotted with good residences.
The farmers are the busiest
ones just now, as planting time
is now here. Corn planting has
begun, oats are up nicely, and
the work of preparing the soil
goes steadily on. It seems now
that there will be a very large
corn crop planted.
The Katv double track work is
circulating lots of money here,
and it will continue for sometime
to come. We can see prosperity
on every hand.
Best wishes for The News and
The weather has been very nice
for farming. We had a nice rain,
which will be a help to oats and
to soften the clods.
Health ot the community is
very good.
Bud Cockrill has been on the
sick list,' but is getting better.
Misses Helen Fitzgerald and
Jennie Millet were the guests ot
Miss Laura Hancock Tuesday
night.
Ed Arledge was in our com-
munity Tuesday. j
There hasn’t been any corn
planted on the Ridge vet. The
people are getting along fine with
their work. Some few are through
plowing.
sure of one sympathetic heart, and
one cheerful face, and one pair of
helpful, tender hands at their bed
side, with some dainty to tempt
their appetite, or a bunch of lovely
flowers to rest their tired eyes. The
best friend in siekness, the best neigh-
bor in health.
When pneumonia first attacked her,
she gave a few, but very explicit in-
structions concerning her burial and
then said, “now pray for my speedy
release, I am ready and want to go ”
But she lived and suffered intensely for
eleven days when our Father said "it
is enough, come up higher.” She
folded her little tired hands, ceased to
breathe and entered into eternal rest.
To Grandpa Burge, our hearts go
out in deepest sympathy. But it can’t
be longuntil he will join her on the
other shore. He is past eighty-two
years of age now; but oh, how he
misses her dear companionship and
loving, faithful, care. To her only
living sister, Mrs. Helon Quarles, of
Dresden, Tenn., who was denied the
privilege of attending her in her last
sickness, we extend sympathy. To
her friends and neighbors, the young
people, the little children, there will
always be the most sacred memories
of grandma Burge. May we all be as
ready and willing when the summons
comes.
Farewell, dear friend, we 11 meet
again. _ Frankie Luton.

After Lieutenant-Governor.
On the first page we publish
part of Senator Bailey’s address
to the House last week. It was
so long we could not give it in
full.
Here is* another extract from
it in which he says that anti-
Bailey men must be kept out of
the conventions, and that he will
defeat the lieutenant-governor
next time he runs.
I want to remind my friends
here of a circumstance. You will
find these men who voted against
me declaring, when they get back
home, that they were not anti-
Bailey men. I have had that ex-
perience. I had it back in the
old Fifth Congressional District.
They lied about me up there
not as viciously as they have
done down here, because that
class of people were incapable of
this class of lying (laughter) but
they told many things that were
not true. Do vou know how we
broke them up? Why, we got so
that we would not let one of them
go to a precinct convention; we
would not let them be elected a
Justice of the P<»ace, and that
made Christians out of them on
^he spur of the moment,
(Laughter.)
Now, let us try that on these
other fellows. Never let them
go to a convention. \ou can
not trust them. Didn’t they le-
tray the party in this instance?
Will thev not betray it \n the
next? I am by that kind of a

The cry of the fallen in the race—
The dying cry which the world heeds

Joy or sorrow will end in rest—
Dust, and arose on a dreamless breast.
What is the sighing? It is not long;
One in the end are the' sigh and song,
One the faith, and one the doubt—
The cry of the vanquished—the vic-

Victor and vanquished must creep
for rest
When the dust is blown o’eN the

Obituary.
On Friday night, Feb. 15, at ten
o’clock the dark angel, Death, again
visited our little town, and took from
us one of our best, most useful wo-
men, and from Mr. A. S. Burge his
most faithful and loving companion,
Mrs Emiline Burge.
Mrs Burge professed religion and
joined the Baptist church years ago.
She lias often spoken to this writer of
her happy conversion. Grandpa and
Grandma Burge, as they are loving-
ly called, came to this place from Ky ,
over seventeen years ago, and have so
endeared themselves to us all, that
we feel this to l>e a personal loss to
each of us.
Grandma Burge was sixty-four
years old. She had nochildren living,
and no relatives near here, but never
was more loving care and attention
bestowed on any one than oil her in
her last sickness. .Thus proving the
love and esteem in which she was held
by the people who knew her best.
She has ever responded to the cry of
distress or need to the extent of her
ability. The sick and suffering were
