DoANEs, TEX. April 25.-On the 24th
of April, 1890, Tightening struck the
house of Mr.. Eve Parks, about four
miles from here on the Vernon road, and
instantly killed Mr.. Eve Parks and
Fletcher Leake and badly injured Mr.. J..
I. Fullerton. Mr.. G. S. Smith, an en-
ployee of Mr.. Parks, was coming from
work about Up. m. when he saw vivid
fash of tightening strike the house. He
was about 200 yards of. Upon entering
the house heart rending sight met his
eyes. On the bed lay Mr.. Parks and
Leake, dead, and on the floor lay Mr..
Fullerton, badly injured. All of their
clothes were on fire, which he quickly
extinguished. He called Mrs. Parks,
who, with the baby, the only child, was
in the dugout cleaning up the dinner
dishes, and knew nothing of the terrible
calamity that had befallen her little
family until called. The Tightening
struck the comb of the house, tearing the
rafters apart, thence down the rafters,
stairs and q partition door into the
ground badly wrecking the house and set
ting it on fire. The fire was extinguished
without further damage. The neigh
bors gathered in through the pouring
rain and rendered all the assistance pos
sible to the bereaved family. J. 7. Full
lerton though badly injured will recover,
though his escape was miraculous. The
bolt struck him in the small of the back
tearing his clothing all to pieces, badly
burning him, there down his left left
leg, escaping through his foot, tearing
his lett foot entirety off.
We had the biggest rain that was ever
known in this part of the country yes
terday. 1t poured down continuously
for four and one-half hours until
the country was perfect food of water,
washing up crops, especially corn, very
badly. Every little swag in the prairie
was a raging torrent, and this in the
droughty Panhandle. The croakers are
complaining now of too much rain
pretty near as bad IS IL was about dry
weather few days ago. Verify some
persons would complain If they were TO

PolitiS BoiIikssiae Mount Vernon.
- ~, the itssSette


MOUNT VERNON, TEX. April 25.-The
political pot has begun to boil in this
county. Pursuant to a call made by
our county chairman Democrats are or
ganizing clubs all over the county for
the purpose Of lighting the Union Labor
party, which has gained considerable
strength in this county during. the past
twelve months. The Union Labor party
here is about 400 strong and it is said
they will put out full county ticket
during the coming campaign. There are
only about 1900 voters in this county, and
in order to defeat the Union Labor party
Democrats think 1t will be necessary to
have primary election. It is thought
that the Union Labor and Republican par
ties will fuse. Our postmaster, who is q
Republican, will make an EFFORT to or
ganize bis party in this county, the
strength of which Is about 1897 prInci-
pallY negroes. TAe Republicans have
never had an organization here before.
The campaign promises to be unusually
interesting this year in this county.
Our district court convenes next Mon
day, but there will not be much business
to dispose of, which lie gratifying to
farmers

"You have, ehp" said the other,

CAPTAIN JACKS STORY.
The First Confederate Flag Flung to the
Breeze on the Mis- sfssiDpl.

The First Confederate Flag Flung to tho
Breeze on the Mississippi.
The first Confederate flag ever flung
to the breeze on the Mississippi was
raised by Captain j. +. Jack. To an
teresting account Of the incident and Of
his eventful life, as follows:
81 was born in 1880 In Ohio. In 1s47
drifted down to New Orleans. and
there, without friends or money, began
the battle Of life. Shortly afterward
joined circus. and travelled with it on
the road. Then we went up and down the
Mississippi river or a floating palace,
touching at towns along the shore and
giving entertainments. This palace was
200 feet long, so feet wide, and would
seat 1000 people. l ran this boat for
our company until 1859, when / took
charge Of the Banjo, a smaller craft
On this boat had number Of French
Zouaves, who gave musket drills. AS
soon as Fort Sumter was fired upon
ran the craft up to Vicksburg and sold
out every thing, even to the muskets,
which were purchased by the Confeder-
ates. Then / came North and re-
mained few days in New York,
but as my feelings and interests were
all with the Southern people, returned
to New Orleans, purchased passenger
boat called the Charm, and proceeded up
the river. Arriving at Vicksburg met
the Prince, O small steamer in command
OF Captain Reeves, coming down. 1t
was while we were moored at Vicksburg
that / hoisted the Confederate flag.
You see at that time every one was
making decided stand for one side or
the other, and one day Captain Reeves
came aboard the Charm. He had Con.
federate flag in his hand, and he said to
me: Captain Jack, these ara the COL
ors we are sailing under now.' said:
All right and taking the flag nailed
it on a long pole, and lashed tho pole to
the mainmast. But, understand me, II
1T were to be done once again, / would
not do it. In fact, no colors would 20
to, the top Of my mainmast except the
Stars and Stripes. After that l con-
tinued to run steamboats, in Southern
waters until 1875, when my health
failed, and since that time, with grip in
one hand and pocketbook in the other,
have explored the world, and especial
ly the United States, which Is to my
mind the greatest country on top Of
God,s earth 4"

A Gown Weighing Thre. Ounces.

About the year 17Oo fair young bride
in the village now known as New Haven
wore q dainty costume Of white. The
gown was cut low in the neck and was
sleeveless. The dress was of light and
flmy texture, and weighed but about
three ounces. 1t has been handed down
from generation to generation, until at
last 1t has come into POSSESSION Of .
Danbury lady. The dress is remarkably
we'll preserved and Is extremely valua-
BILE, both from its age and the beauty of
embroideries with which 1t Is covered.
The design OF the trimming is prettily
worked In the coarse linen thread 80
common In those days.
