MOUNT VERNON, TEX, Oct l6.--IIon.
ID b. Culberson made the frst, and only
campaign speech OF the season in this
town, here yesterday. He made F." these
dry bones liye,n aud they will rise up and
do battle for him. Long before the hour
assigned the town was full OF people
from all parts OF the county, and when
the hour came there was u perfect grand
swell about the courthouse. He
occupied the stand an hour and

brain power and eloquence of
the man, the speech was grand one
and will have the effect to allay any feel

Tor the Democratic ticket this coming
election. Culberson win get the largest
majority he ever received In this county.

Red River county, is an obsequious

from the n. j. Davis administration,
upon which people OF this section can not
