The JOURNAL has lust re-
celved its fall stock of stationery
and is now prepared to fill orders
tor commercial printing in the
latest style of the art. Our iob
department has been overrun
with work for the last two OF three
weeks.
"A western editor saws that q
doctor in his town removed a tape
worm "from lad that was nine
ty-six feetlong, and had over elev-
en- hundred joints" Well, a bow
as long as that ought to have elev-
en- hundred joints.
The editor, accompanied by
his last years duster and railroad
pass, will be absent the latter part
OF this and the greater portion of
next week. Rev. A. NJ. Williams
will attend to our editorial duties,
and we doubt not that our sub
scribers will find a decided i'm
provement.
-Lowrey & Orr are now re-
ceiving an immense stock of fall
and winter dry goods, clothing,
etc, which they propose to dis
pose of at low prices. They will
say something to the public
through the columns of the Jour-
NAL in a few days.
Mr.. Barlow Thomas, who has
SO long dispensed beverages to
the thirsty at the Eureka, is now
at the dry goods emporium of M.
Kempner, where he will be de-
lighted to serve the public. Mr..
John Huckaby has taken Mr..
Thomas place at the Eureka.
There were two white luna
tics on the up train last Tuesday
afternoon-one from Randolph
county and the Other from Missis-
sippi. The one from Randolph was
on the way to the asylum and the
other was taken off here and car
ried to Webster county.
We ask the indulgence of our
readers for the limited amount of
reading matter we are now giving
them. The people recognize the
superiority of the JOURNAL as an
advertising medium and are
crowding our columns. We will
soon be able to give more reading
matter.
Where, oh, where are The
men? is the mournful cry that is
sues from all the summer resorts,
and it reaches far into the depths
of the dull, .reeking cities. Where
are they? Well, if you must
know, they are perspiring at home
in the vain pursuit of a living;
trying to scrape together sufficient
wherewitlal to pay their living ex-
penses. That's where they are.
Almost without exception the
stock of Terrell has stood the
summers toll remarkably well.
The season of blowing is over,
and the horses and mules that are
driven to this city are almost as
sleek and fat as though they had
done no work at all This shows
that our farmers take a commend
able pride in their stock and give
them something to eat besides
fence rails.
We neglected to state last
week that Mr.. J. r. Lawhon, of
Hatcher Station, had moved to
Dawson ard occupies the resi-
dence formerly occupied by G. K.
Cannon. He has employment with
his brothers-in-law, Hatcher Bros.
Mr.. Lawhon was once Terrell
county boy and his old friends are
glad to welcome him back again.
