DEN1soN, TEN, Sept, l2.-The can
dldate is becoming numerous. The
latest to be brought out Is Or. II. N.
Cutler, whose many friends and ad-
mirers have petitioned him TO stand
for the legislature. As the doctor is
practically a Denison man, living near
here, this gives Denison three candi-
dates In the field, and election nearly
two months vff.
w. 4. Scott, now OF Sherman but
property owner and former resident of
Deniaon, is In the city on the hunt for
voters who will encourage him TO en-
ter the field as n candidate for county
collector. The woods are full Of
Barkises who are "willinw IL some
Peggotty would only propose.
Thus far the candidate has been the
only one to indicate that an election is
approaching. The average voter is
vastly more Indifferent regarding who
gets the offices than he is as TO when
we will have rain.
THE CoLoNNADedoTR

proprietors from its opening, has

kept will pay, and he will demonstrate

ANOTHER SALOON
Is now fitting up in one of the best
business localities In the city, having
driven out a dry goods firm that il
might have first-class situation. The
saloon could or would and did nav
more rent than dry goods house could
DO ON legitimate business, so the
merchant got out. The saloon and
gaming business has put reuts up
to n figure which legitimate
mercantile business on an ordinary
capital cannot stand. It may not be a
good recommendation for town to
give better support TO its saloon and
gambling houses than il does to other
business. A people who permit such
things must stand the reputation they
make for themselves
