ONE Of the greatest political sensa-
ttons In the country was made known
Wednesday when It was announced
that J. B. Boyd had concluded to
withhold his support from Bryan and
vote for Mckinley, through contend.
ing to be q democrat. To ascertain
the facts. reporter called upon Mr..
Boyd. Mr.. Boyd is the president OF
the Bryan silver club. chairman Of the
county democratic committee, and
one OF the foremost democrats In this
part Of the state, as well as one OF the
leading merchants. His change Of
base was not made without, much
thought and is, beyond all question,
from conscientious motives. For
these reasons his new position must
have great effect upon the demo-
cratic voters of this c0unty.-Lang-
don Republican.
j. D. Wallace and William Currie,
VS. Joseph Morrison and Alex Duncan,
as legislators from the First District.
II You know them personally you can
size them up for yourselves. II you
don't know them ask their neighbors.
When you send men to the legislature
send somebody who carries weight
and respect. Mr.. Wallace has been
q leading man in the county since he
was first citizen. Mr.. Currle is q
man whom none know, but to tikel1nd
respect. Messrs Morrison ard Dun
can, are best known from their con-
slant attendance At pop gatherings.
Mr.. Morrison gained some prominence
as q county commissioner. His most
notable act was insisting en- the re-.
duction Of the tax levy. The result
being q shortage Of several thousand
dollars, borrowing money to run the
county, and an increased levy the sfOl-
lowing year to cover the shortage and
get the county on its financial feet
again.
w. G. SHORT has received the
weather display flags and will exhibit
them after this week from the roof Of
his store. This display will be in
plain view for many miles and by
catching onto the combination, one
may foretell the weather for thirty
six hours before. Mr.. Short deserves
the thanks Of the locality for the
trouble he will be to and for which he
receives no other remuneration. The
following is the code OF flag signals:
The white flag indicates clear or fair
weather; the blue flag, rain or snow;
the flag half blue, half white, denotes
local rain or snow; the black triangu-
lar flag always refers to temperature,
when placed above either of the fore
going flags it indicates followed by
warmer weather" and the reverse
when placed below; the white flag
with black center Is the cold wave
flag and indicates a sudden and decid-
ed fall in temperature; the red flag
with black center is the storm flag and
indicates the approach of high winds
accompanied with snow with tempera-
ture below freezing. II you can't re-
member these, call at Shorts for q
card with cuts OF flags.
