correspondence OF the Gazette.
BoNHAM, TEX Sept. 10,-For the
last three weeks the subject of religion
has taken hold of the minds of the
people, and through the efforts of
Revs. Potts and Holt, preaching and
expounding the scriptures, many have
prof:ss Christ. They are now en-
gagged in a prOtracted meeting at the
Center Street Baptist church with
good prospects of success.
Some are disposed 10 take pessi-
mistic view of our correspondence to
THE GAZETTE. We will say to such
that Fannin county has 5000 voters, a
rich soil, fifteen villages and large
territory. The inhabitants are busy,
gO-ahead and wide-awake people, who
want to know what is going on in the
country. We propose TO correspond to
paper that will tell them of every
thing that happens in the county and,
if necessary to their peace, happiness
and good health, many things that do
not happen. Our people will take a
paper that gives them the news, no
matter who e6its it, or where 1t is
published, whether it be lease or anti
lease. As reporter we have
taken the advice of the
son of Gloster in Lear; "Keep
thy hand out of packets, and defy the
foul tiend."
The singing man of the Galveston
News has heen in the city for the past
few days assisting in the protracted
meeting at the Baptist church. He
has made quite an impression on the
singing part of our community as a vO-
calist.
Louis Kells of Fort Worth spent
Monday and Tuesday with us, in the
interest of The GAZETTE. Mr.. Kells
has no ear for music, but an eye to
business, and considering the extreme
dizziness of the season, our merchants
paronized him literally in the way of
advertising.
r.. Il. Egli of Paris, representing the
Ivers a. Pond Piano Manufacturing
company, is in the city.
THE DEMOCRATIC STANDARD BEARER.
Gov. Ireland has been cOmplimented
by the Democratic press of this state
with unanimous and enthusiastic APP
prevail of his selection as the standard
bearer of the party in the gubernato-
rial fight. Few men in the South
have attained to his popularity. None
of the leaders of the Democracy have
more .signally won the confidence OF
the people in his honesty and fidelity.
His administration has been Endorsed
by every organ of theDemocracy, i'm the
highest terms of commentator. aud,
compared with the previous regime,
gains a lustre that can
but be flattering to the
gallant chief. Aside from shining
record on the field of war, and that is
a potent influence with the thousands
who remember and delight to honor
their valorous heroes, Gov. Ireland
can point with equal pride to his
achievements in time of peace. The
states affairs have been managed with
ability and according to the strictest
rule of business principles; he could
turn over to-day clean set of books,
backed by full treasury; his closest
attention has been devoted to the in
terests contided to him. Every matter
presented to him, however trivial, has
received his ca.eful consideration, al
though such attention to detail has in
VOWED arduous work and confiue-
ment far beyond that accept
ed by previous executives. He
was presented TO the Democratic voters
as man of honesty and ability: his
first administration has notably sus-
tanned this claim. In his present can
vass he can point to an unimpeachable
record, term of faithful service TO the
people-the strongest argument for
their suflrages. The state press has
teemed with praises of his admins RAJ
ton and OF. himself personally. Such
an unanimity among the Democracy
points to his reelection by an even
larger majority than that with which
he was honored when he first received
the highest office within the gift OF
the people of Texas.
