CAPT. JOHN T. WIGGINS DEAD
Had One of His Fingers Mashed Off Prominent Confederate, Presbyterian
While Switching in T. & P.
Yards Last Night
Harry Walker, night switch-
man in the T. & P. yards, met
with an accident last night that
may deprive him of one of his fin-
gers. Mr. Walker was switching
a bad order car and in some man-
ner got a finger ou his right hand
caught in the brake rigging with
the result that it was so badly
mashed that amputation may be
necessary.
A physician was called and
dressed the hurt, and Mr. Walker
was able to be out this morning.
The wound is very painful and it
will be several weeks before he
will be able to resume his duties.
Hay!
For a limited time we offer
choice prairie hay at 25c per bale.

ANTI MEETING AT PARIS
Paris Auti- Prohi’s Hold a Meeting.
May Petition for An
Flection.
There was a meeting of the anti-
prohis of Paris at that place Fri-
day for the purpose of organiza
tion. Committees o f various
kinds were appointed and general
organization perfected. A com-
mittee was appointed looking to-
ward an election. While no at
tenmt has been made to petition
lor an election, and no intimation
given that one would be called,
but it is believed that an election
would be called at an early date.
EX-GOV. VARDAMAN COMING
Will Lecture In Bonham on May
20th. Is a Great
Orator.
Special Sunday School Notice.
In order to accommodate the
“Crowd expected at the Baptist
Sunday school tomorrow both the
auditorium and Sunday school
room w ill be used at the opening
ami closing service. We can seat
7d" comfortably.—J. E. Hughes.
Cheap Feed and flour.
I bought more feed and Hour
'nti " it was cheap than I can

Sid Smith.
Ex Gov. Vardanian, the silver
tongued orator from Mississippi,
the man who is said to be the
equal of W. J. Bryan and other
great orators, will lecture in Bon-
ham on May 20. The lecture is
to be given under the auspices of
the ladies of the First Baptist
| church, and a big crowd will
doubless greet the distinguished
Mississippian.
Vardanian is man of national
reputation, a reputation that was
gained when he opposed Roosevelt,
and refused to recede from his
original position, when opposed
by the Strenuous One. Perhaps
no one now in the South has made
a more thorough study and is bet-
ter posted on the negro question
than Vardanian, and his lecture
“The Impending Crisis,” will be
along those lines.
The press throughout the State
has been a unit in the praise of
Gov. Vardanian, and he has been
heard by immense crowds wherever
he has spoken.
At (he Crescent.
One of the best shows ever put
on at the Crescent was that of last
night. Juanita in songs was fine,
Harding as a black face kept the
audience in a roar of laughter by
his comical sayings and extremely
funny songs. Harding had to re
spond to several hearty encores.
Then Charlie Miles put on a bar-
rel jumping act that was simply
immense. This boy surprised his
many friends by his cleverness,
and his work made a decided hit.
A screaming one act skit, partici
pated in by Miles, Harding and
J uanita, cajne next. Then came a
contest by three small boys who
each dived into a pan of flour after
money. They were not allowed to
use their hands, but had to root
with their mouth. It threw’ the
audience into fits. As a climax to
an already splendid show the
lights came on and three reels of
picture's were shown. Tonight
there will be pictures and also a
change in the vaudeville program.
The show last nigfit was worth any
body's money and tonight promises
to be equally as good.
The Best Churn.
It is not blue sky I want to sell
J’01' but the best churn on earth.
D. A. Biard.
A letter today from Coleman,
Texas, announces the good news
that Dee S potts is somewhat ira-
[ proved and there is some hopes of
* his recovery.
We would like to know if YOU

To “Maude,” the gasoline en-
gine, is dae the credit for the ap-
pearance of the Favorite since
the light plant has been out of
commission. “Maude” is erratic
of disposition, aud a lien in regular
use caused more sweat and pro-
fanity than all other things around
the office combined. As stubborn
as a knocker, a {disposition un-
fathomable and a temper that is as
uncertain aud unreliable as spring
weather in Texas, “Maude” has
always been a hard proposition to
handle. There were times when she
would run as smoothly as water
flowing down hill and at other
times she would not run at all,
with no indication of the why fore
thereof. But this was then. It is
now that we wane to speak of.
Her rest of three years has been
unbroken and she has shown it.
Harnessed up, greased and oiled,
the starting erank turned with
many misgiving as to whut she
would do. “Maude” responded
nobly, lias done nobly and is still
doing nobly, but for how long no
man wats not of.
The Chainmade tlub will meet
Monday afternoon at 2:15 with
Mis. Bland Smith.
