The Kansas legislature passed res
olution in opposition to the national
cattle trail from Texas. The HERALD
don't believe the trail would be of great
benefit to the stockmen of this state, but
the hostility Of Kansas men to the pro-
ject don't reflect much credit upon the
citizens of that state, and evinces q
jealousy of the cattle interests Of Texas,
which is not at all commendable.

Judge Simmons Bees.

Judge J. NJ. Simmons had a
swarm of bees to leave the hive
the other day, and, after buzzing
around awhile, they pitched up
on the side of his residence. He
hurried away to procure a hive
but when he returned he found
only a few bees crawling around
where he had left them. After
looking about to see what had be-
come of them he discovered that
they had found q bulge In the
Notwithstanding, making Il crack
large enough for them to enter,
and the whole swarm had entered
and were making themselves per-
fectly at home between the ceiling
and Notwithstanding of his room.
The Judge has not molested them.

Netting of Cypress Pond Planters
Association.

The regular monthly meeting
of the above association took place
last Thursday at Cypress Pond
school house, about four miles
north Of Dawson. At about. 1C
o'clock the meeting was called tc
order by J. W. Sears. president,
and the regular order of business
gone through with. The roll call
showed quite a long list of mem-
bers, many of. whom were present
and participated in the proceed
ings. One Of the most attractive
features of the occasion was the
fine exhibition of vegetables, farm
products and stock by the men,
bers of the association. We saw
some of the largest and finest col
lards, cabbages, Irish potatoes,
turnips, beets, stalks of corn, cot
ton, ETC., that we ever saw grow
anywhere. The mules and horses
were all in fine condition and
showed the best of care. The
display of fruits and melons were
also good. About the hour of
twelve the meeting adjourned to
partake of such feast of good
things, prepared by the noble la
dies, as one rarely ever sees in a
whole lifetime. The dinner was
sumptuous indeed, and. notwith-
standing the crowd was large,
there was plenty left for supper"
The ease and grace with which
the members and ladies entertain
ed their guests was truly admira-
BILE, and we shall long remember
the kindness Of these friends at
Cypress Pond. After an hour or
two of recreation the association
was again convened when the
members went into the discussion
OF the following question: "Has
benefit been derived from this
association" The question was
debated by several of the mem
bers, all of whom took the AFR
native side Of the question as a
matter of honest, conscientious
belief. The debate was very in
tererting as well as instructive.
The day was one OF the most
pleasant we ever spent, and we
have reason to believe that every
one enjoyed it.

Rapbecues.

Since our last issue there have
been several barbecues and din
ners in the county, and the editor
is almost too full for utterance.
If there are any short comings in
this issue it is attributable to that
fact. The one given by Mr.. A. J.
Carver at his Woolbright place last
Friday was largely attended and
passed off pleasantly. The band
was there and discoursed music.
Saturday Mr.. w. N. Thornton
gave one at his Hay place which
was success in every particular.
At both places there were nice.

That Blunder.

The editor of the Appeal, in his
last issue, tries to mislead the
public by treating the advertise
ment of the Dawson Appeal for
sale by the Sheriff asa blunder of
the JOURNAL. We had no desire
whatever to vantilate the matter,
but as he has seen fit to do so by
calling it a hlunder of the jour-
NAL we will give the facts: On
the Goth of June the Sheriff lev
led two mortgage fi-fas ON the APP
peal property, issued from Terrell
Superior Court in favor of
A. j. Moye. of Cuthbert, VS.. B. @.
Adams, proprietor of the Appeal,
for $500 each, besides interests
and costs. The Sheriff gave Ad-
ans until the first day of July to
arrange the matter, which he fail
ed to do-hence the blundsr(9)
1t is useless for the proprietor of
the Appeal to try to hide the
truth. He is embarrassed, and
why deny it by calling the adver-
Using of the Appeal a blunder?
The fi-fas are still in the hands of
the Sheriff unsettled. and by read
the JoURxAL's advertising col
umns the public will see the same
dlunder that appeared in our last
issue. If this is the prosperity
the Appeal boasts of, we are glad
we are not so prosperous. Adams
may snake contracts for the APP
peal but the Sheriff makes the
levy wheL there are f-fas against
the property.

The Glorious Fourth.

Dawson has again passed
through the Glorious Fourth .
without any demonstration. The
great attraction was to be a grand
drill and parade by the military
and fire companies of Dawson.
We searched carefully about the
city, but failed to find the drill
and parade. Indeed, there was
not a semblance of it; not even a
soldier OF fireman in uniform. 1t
is understood, however, that Sir
Willie Pilsbury, the Appeal ro-
mancer, who is SO fond of facts
and who never makes blunder, pre-.
pared the flaming advertisement
with growing rooster) of the
drill and other attractions, and
very few people except those who
do not read the JOURNAL were de-
ceived. The great programme of
firing thirteen salrtes dyindled
down to a nuisance Of the most
violent type. These salutes were
fred just before day while every
one was enjoying peaceful repose,
and numerous were the impreca-
tions uttered against the ,,atri-
OTIS who were celebrating. Even
the firing of these salutes might
have been excused.
The most notable occurrence of
the day was the reduction in the
price of watermelons from 30 to
5 cents and chickens from 20 to
10 cents. Thus passed off the great
celebration in Dawson.

Accidental Killing.

Last Saturday morning Jack
Brooks, a little negro boy aged
eight years, killed Bessie Brooks,
his sister aged five, with . shot
gun. They are the Children of
George Brooks, who lives near the
tan yard in this city. 1t seems
that the children were frolicking
around the house, when Jack jok-
ingly told Bessie that if she ran
by the door again he would shoot
her. The little girl again passed by
the door and Jack stepped behind
the door, got the gun and point
ed it at the girl for the purpose
of frightening her. While hold
ing the gun in that manner it was
discharged, the contents of one
barrel entering the girls body,
producing immediate death. AT
ter the shooting occurred the boy
was very much frightened. He
immediately took to his heels and
needed not his course. So reck-
less was he that he jumped in the
culvert, and had it not been for
the timely arrival of two parties
who were in pursuit he would
have drowned. He sunk twice.
before being rescued. He was
brought back home, where he now
is. During the day Coroner Dam
lei summoned jury and held an
inquest. The verdict was that
the child was accidentally killed.

Death of Mrs. willie Cannon.

There is no death; an angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread.
He bears our best loved things away
And then we CALL them dead"
While the death of Mrs. Willie
Cannon, wife OF Mr.. Geo. r. Can
non and sister of Hon. D. B.
Stevens, had been expected for
several weeks PAST, it is Nd less
sad to record. She died last
Thursday morning. After q most
appropriate and beautiful service
at the Methodist church by Rev.
A. NJ. Williams Friday morning
the remains were escorted to the
cemetery where they were buried
with the usual solemn and impress
slve ceremonies in the presence
OF large number of friends and
relatives. She was attended in
her illness b. her physicians and
friends with unusual assiduity,
and everything that skillful medi-
cal aid and good nursing could do
was done, but without avail. At
the time of her death Mrs. Can
con was about twenty-seven years
of age. She leaves devoted hus-
band, six small children, an affec-
tlonate mother, one brother, four
sisters, and many other relatives
and friends to mourn her untime-
ly loss with hearts made heavy by
the profoundest grief.
Mrs. Cannon was consistent
member Of the Methodist church
for a number of years, AMI during
that time she was never known to
bring reproach upon the cause
she loved. She was a devoted
wife, an affectionate and fond
mother, an obedient daughter and
loving sister. She was a lady
possessed of many sterling virtues,
a large heart and tender feelings
and was ever ready to do what
she could to relieve the distress
ed. She died when her woman
hood was at its maturity-a wo-
manhood full of good works.
Truly the sympathy of al of us
90 out to the home of the be-
reaved, a home that was once
blessed with the radiance of her
countenance, but now in the garb
of grief for the loss of q devoted
wife and a fond mother. But she
is gone, and let us no longer
grieve, but profit by the emula-
ton of the many virtues which
she exemplifed while living. AT
ter a busy and useful life
she died honored and respected
wherever known, peacefully pass
ing to the Beyond where mortal
suffer;ngs are known no more.
$50 fades the summer sun away;
Sosinks the gale when storms are DER;
So gently shuts the eye of day,

neatly arranged for the occasion
and was lighted with Chinese Ian

ade OF a delicious quality were
temptingly served on small tables

part of the entertainment was
most literally patronized. No one
could refuse to buy the delicious
refreshments from the bewitching
young ladies and, consequently,
the receipts of the evening were
in every way satisfactory. 1t was
near midnight when the crowd
dispersed, voting it one of the
most enjoyable occasions of the
season. The festival was given
to raise funds with which to pay
off the Indebtedness of the park.
