FROM FARMERsvILLE,


The Town Enjoying Building Boom-A
School Picnic that Graded Up First
Glass in Patrons and Pleasures.
FARMERsvILLE, June Special. l.
Farmersville is on regular building
boom. Five bricks are now under con-
tract and building and more are to fol-
low.
The close of the session of Farmers
vile Academy was celebrated to-day
by reunion picnic, held in the grove
north of town. The attendance was
large and orderly. The exercises of the
day consisted is volunteer speeches and
essays by the pupils, followed by a
sumptuous dinner spread in regular
picnic style, which was sufficient to
have fed twice The number present,
Professor Alien, OF Mckinney; Captain
George Hardin and Rev. d. j. Hardin,
of this place, .also entertained the audi
ence with very instructive, short, i'm
promptu addresses. The weather was
very pleasant and every facility offered
for the children and all present to enjoy
Themselves. The occasion passed off to
the complete satisfaction Of all. Es-
pecial praise is due to Looney d Dow
len, who certainly deserve great credit
for having built up such meritorious
institution OF learning.

city schools closed some time since.
There is considerable wranglo about
the next session. Some want Mr..
Brooks, the man who organized the
school, but the majority want another
man. Three of the anti.Brooks trustees
resigned, and the Mayor being sup.
porter OF Mr.. Brooks, had men at-
pointed that were Brooks men, and
they have employed him again. The
people say they will not pay the tax In

possible chance TO avoid IL. No
doubt tho best thing for MIR. Brooks is
to leave Paris and 20 elsewhere. IL Ia
reported, and IL is said by Mr.. Brooks
himself, that the people OF Gainesville
want him there again to supervise their
school, but several gentlemen here
wrote 70 Gainesville and asked IL they
wanted him back. They replied that no
offer had been made Mr.. Brooks and
that they did not want him. The two

that the schools are crippled and want

THE Cameron Herald has a long edi-
torisl on prohibition, assuming the in
utility of all efforts to prohibit, but sug-
costing the plan OF removing such OBJ
stacles in tn Q way of selling liquor as
now exist and force the saloon men to
sell bad stuff. II says: "Though not ia
natic, we are really anxious to witness
the discontinue of the Hydra Monster
Rum,' and would gladly hail the ban
ners OF temperance triumphantly float
ing on the balmy breezes Of our God-fsy-
ored State. But judging from the past,
the dispassionate observer has scant
room for flattering anticipation. The
line oil campaign pursued by its advo-
Gates from the times of FATHER
MATTHEW to the present day, afford lit
tie room for hope in the future. They
have assailed the monster from every
point. They have attacked him in front,
flank and rear, with every engine and
missile to be found IN the arsenal Of
grim visage Meloch-but to no avail.
King Alcohol still sits enthroned, and
his devotees wear a complaisant smile Of
conscious strength and security" But
the prohibitiOnists deny their failures
and say Prohibition is thriving every
where. The wide issue of facts will
make an interesting campaign unless
other questions should be logged in. By
the way, tomorrow the vote will be
taken in many places.

A NEW DEAL IN ENel AND


The Queen has accepted the resigna-
ton Of the GLADSTONE ministry, the
dispatches say, and asked the opposi-
ton to form Cabinet, the Marquis of
Salisbury being the responsible head.
Ho has neither the learning nor the
breadth of craftsmanship that Mr..
GLADSTONE possesses, nor does he en-
joy from Europe or the world at large
that confidence which has been so un.
stintedly given to Mr.. Gladstone, but
he is possibly the most powerful and
prominent of the Tories and is the best
selection the Queen could make from
the ranks of that party.
The Irish troubles still unsettled; the
Russian dispute still undetermined;
the finances in bad condition and the
Egyption questions forcing themselves
to the front, with general disquiet
and dissatisfaction throughout an en-
pire on which the sun never
goes down, the Tories or Conservatives
have before them in assuming power
and taking charge of the government a
most Herculean task. They may prove
equal to the occasion. More aggressive
than the GLADSTONE ministry, these
Tories may force Great Britain to the
front again in European politics, but all
the probabilities are that the loss OF the

SANDERS LAsT rARoEs.

SlANDEhS GASI IHROeS,
The desperate straits Of the Republic
cans is shown in the character of
the proceedings of the recent con-
vention at Springfield, Ohio. A very
small man, known as MIR. j. d.
TAYLOR, who was the temporary chair
man of the convention, made speech
in which he declared that "by combi-
nation Of crimes, accidents and blum
ders this government, with all it's great
interests, has passed out of the control
of the party that saved it from treason
and disunity into the hands of party
which through its leaders sought for
four long years to tear it from its proud
place among the nations of the earth
and hurl its discovered fragments into
the vortex of anarchy and dissolution"
This is grandilOquent expression
from small man, but the falsity borne
up on its face will rob it of an effect ii
might otherwise have.
The Democratic victory of 1884 was
not won "by a combination of crimes
accidents and blunders," but by an
universal uprising of the great
masses of the people who were heartily
tired Of the "crimes, accidents and
blunders" that for twenty years had
characterized the party in power and
came well nigh "hurling" us into con
tempt among the nations, if not into
"anarchy and confusion"
Nor did the government in the fall OF
1884 pass into the hands of party
whose leaders had sought t0disrupt
the Union. BAYARD, RANDALL, TIL
DEN, HANCOCK, McCLELLAN, even the
President himself, were all Northern
and Union men, and they are the rec
ognized leaders of the Democratic party.
They represent the best manhood and
thought of the United States, as they
represent its purest type of patriotism,
and certainly that element furthest re-
moved from "anarchy or dissolution"
To such men the people have confiding-
ly entrusted their best interests, and in
such keeping these interests are abso-
lutely safe.
AT this late date it is Incredible and
impossible that anybody should be in
fluenced by such silly and disgusting
twaddle as that of this man TAYLOR, or
Of the Ohio Republicans. 1t is one of
those States Joined to its idols, and the
Democrats can, without any great loss,
afford to let it alone. But the fact OF so
dirty, unfounded and slsnderous an at
tack at this time when Democracy is SO
valiantly striving to give the Union a
pure and good government, is hut
another Illustration Of the depths of in.

ing cared for at loss TO the State of Sl2,.
