rain Friday, and a cold raw day
yesterday-temperature falling to
a freezing point early in the even
ing, and in consequence ice was a
quarter of an inch thick on the sur
face of water exposed in vessels,
during the night.
Major Gentry is now GONZALES
cent, which will be agreeable news
to his many friends.
Miss Lizzie Gentry, daughter of
Major Gentry, is on the sick list.
We trust the young lady will soon
regain her usual good health and
cheerfulness.
Mr.. P. P. Elan came down from
Boggy this morning, and spent the
day with old friends. The gentle
man informs me that lie is pining
to get a Whit of the odor of pure
saw dust, and hear the music of the
wheezy twins. Well, my boy, if the
longing grows upon you, just pull
on pair of overalls, get inside of a
Jumper and don the rimless hat,
and come to the mill and rub up
against some of the greasy posts,
and, my word for it, the malady will
leave you, and you will feel at home
once more,
Mr.. Waldorf has jdst purchased
eight OK teams and log trucks from
the Gate City Lumber Co., and has
now, all told, 50 head of oXens tC
feed every morning, This means a
wagon load of corn daily, and the
same of hay. In order to get his
money back he will begin hauling
| logs for this mill tomorrow-Mon
day, in which, if he is successful
Ft Lynn will be in the swim, an(
will begin to feel the tide Of pros
perity-McKinley to the contrary
Robert Dodd, of Bright Star, was
over on business yesterday. This
place is getting to be quite trad
ing point for large number of Sui
phur township farmers.
Mrs, Hearon wife of DR., Hearon
of Bright Star, is visiting her broth
er-in-Iaw, Mr., William McGee's
family, at their farm near here.
Now, in conclusion, my dear read
ers, | will endeavor to say some
thing for the good of the society
The political campaign is over, the
result is beyond recall; all the kick
ing we may do cannot change it
This is a Democratic-R Republican
government Of the people and fol
the people. According to Demo-
cratic principle every sane man is a
king in his own right, no one man is
mightier than another, but where
there are so many kings, there must
be a method by which these kings
can harmoniously determine the
proper method Of government, and
Democratic doctrine says it shall be
BY a majority vote of all the kings.
The kings have spoken in the only
effective language at their COM
Imand, and as good citizens we must
accept the result as right, because
the majority said so, If we do
not, we are neither Democrats nor
Republicans, because one is a syno,
nym of the other-the names mean
the same thing. We should not
forget that there is as much differ
ence in the minds and understand
ing of men as there is difference in
their features. You scarcely ever
see two men so near alike in feature
and expression, that you cannot
tell one from the other. 1t is Just
so with the minds Now, my friends,
let us have a rest from politics. AS
good citizens and brothers when we
meet, instead of wearing a doleful
couutenance and predicting disas-
ter and ruin, let us look cheerful
and talk of something encouraging
to society, the business of life, and
be sociable in general.
