Jailer Floyd Coberly was killed at
the county Jail at Denton, the other
morning, and three negro prisoners
escaped, but were captured and return
ed by the officers to Jail. The parti-
culars are as follows: When Jailer
Coberly went to the colored ward to re-
move some dishes, a negro named
George Henry managed 10 leave his
cell door open, and sprang upon the
jailer and crushed his skull with
a stick of wood. After beating the
jailer severely on the head, the negro
secured his pistol and keys, released
Will Miller and Arthur Gilmore, and

Let us stop to think of the good
bye kiss. Better miss a car than
leave heartache.
Let us stop to think of the chill
dren. We, too, were children once
and loved to be remembered.
Let us stop to think of the aged.
For us, too, the evening shadows
will close at length and we shall,
perchance, be left to desolate hearth
stones. We shall need to be remem-
bered then.
Let us stop to think of the strang-
er. We too, have been alone, and have
needed the touch of kindly hand
upon our lives, and many life has
gone out in the blackness of dark
ness for the lack of such a touch as
any one of us might have given.
Let us stop to think of God and
the future. AT best the time is short
and the end is near. And when it
shall come, blessed will be he to
whom the entrance upon another
life will be but the realization of
dear and familiar dreams, the con-
summation of a life time Of long
ings. Let us stop to think. If there
be any virtue, if there be any praise,
let us stop to think upon these
things.-The Lookout.

The HERALD for one year is worth
anybody's dollar, and as almost eve
rybody takes it anyhow, we are not
much given to Offering premiums.
Another reason we do not offer pre-
miums is that the premims offered
us are usually some big "blank ct"
paper from some far away city in
which our readers are not much in
terested.
But when real good thing comes
along, the HERALD knows it and
takes it, as we always want to give
our readers and friends the benefit
of every good thing we can find.
In "Gov. Bob Taylor's Tales" you
will find a real good thing. 1t is one
of the most interesting books on the
market. 1t contains the three lee
lures which have made Gov. Taylor
famous as platform orator-"The
FJddle and The BoW," "THe Para
disc of FOOls," and "Visions and
DredmS.' The lectures are given in
full, including all anecdotes and
songs, just as delivered by Gov.
Taylor throughout the country. The
book is neatly published and contains
fifty illustrations. 1t is sold at the
bookstores and by the butcher boys
on the trains and everywhere else,
for 80 cents per copy. Invariably 80
cents.
Now what? Here is the interest
ing part to you. You can get this
famous wOrk, WHh all its .fR and
pathOS, for nothing. absolutely
nothing.
All you have to do is to pay for the
HERALD, which if you are not read
ing you ought to read, and which if
you don't owe for you very soon will
owe for.
1t does not matter whether you are
taking the HERALD or whether you
are uOJ' IL you dl uOIi CollS III anu
pay us $l,00 in cash, and we will
send you the HERALD for one year,
and giUe you the book.
If you are a subscriber, come in and
pay all arrears and one year in adj
vance and we will giUe you the book.
Could anything be fairer? We
couldn't make it any cheaper to you,
could we? OF course you intend to
pay all you owe us anyway, so you
get the book, you see, absolutely
free!
And nice little book it is. Full
of heart and soul, fun and music,
laugh and logic, eloQuence and
pathos. This offer will last as long
as our supply of books last; but we
have only a limited supply of the
books, so you had better call early.

X-Ray Burning.

The X-ray is something wonder
full, and not yet understood. Brief
exposures to the ray seem to have no
deleterious effect upon the human
body, but long exposures seem TO be
injurious, at least with persons who
are particularly susceptible to the
mysterious influence. An instance
of injury is reported from New York.
A Miss Mcdonald, who had trouble
with her teeth, submitted to an X
ray examination of her face. Two
exposures were made, one of eight
minutes and the other for thirteen
minutes. No bad effects were no.
ticed during the first day after the
exposure, but two days later her
face began to swell and turn black.
The whole left side of her face turn
ed to blister, aud the burn extended
down her ueck and arm and to her
chest. Soon the hair on the exposed
side of her head began to fall out
and left the scalp bare. Her left ear
swelled to three times it's normal
size, and the nerves of her right eye
are effected. She says that she has
had no hearing in the right ear since
the burns developed. The dentist
who made the exposures says he has
made many similar X-ray tests
without any evil consequences -

4 Warning to Tenderfeet AMI Prospec-
tors who are Lured on by the
Yellow Metal in the
Arctic Zone.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-Private
letters received to-day from Seattle
and Victoria give some facts that
ought to serve as a warning to those
who are eager to rush off to the
Klondike. One bit of news is that
the Indians, because of the great
heat of the summer at Dawson, pre-
dict an early freezing over Of the
Yukon, which means the stOppage
of river navigation and disaster to
any expeditions that start out late
this month from San Francisco to
Puget Sound.
Dawson is crowded with new
corners, who run out whenever a
strike is reported, but most of them
are tenderfeet and they are doing lit
tie Independent prospecting. Anoth-
er report says that snow has already
fallen or Chicoot Pass and II cents
per pound is charged by the Indians
to carry freight over divides.
The Victoria letter gives start
ling picture of the crowd which has
gathered at that place eagerly
awaiting chance to sail for the
Alaskan gold diggings and contains
the prediction of great misery that
will befall those who have no money
or a good outfit. The writer says:
There are 800 men here who think
they are going to the Klondike.
Nine-tenths won't get further than
Dyea; in fact, it is impossible for
them to reach the mines. They
have no idea of what they have to
do after they get across the divide,
for which purpose they have got q
lot of old horses that won't pack ten
pounds. They have to go into the
woods and whip-saw their lumber
and then build boats. Most of them
don't know how to drive nail, let
alone build boat.

at least not until spring. They are
nearer the land and understand the

BCRN'S SPRING.

After long aud continued abb
sence, we once again ask for a small
space in the HERALD's newsy
columns.
"Rippling Waves" we agree with
you; 1t is decidedly too warm for
picnic right now.
Miss Lola Scribner and her guest,
Miss Nivenne Scribner, of Waco,
Texas, are visiting at Groveland.
Misses Annie Owen and Annie
Bell Craig, of Franklin, are guests
of Mrs. Sue Watson.
Little Miss Nora Adcock, of Nash
vile, is visiting her grandparents.
Mrs. Cowley, of Santa Fe, mother
of Mr.. Joe COwley, has returned
home, taking little Miss Fannie
Cowley with her.
At the residence of Mr.. l.. ID.
HolcOmb, last Saturday evening,
just before midnight, the spirit of
sweet little Theo. Edwin Foxall
took its flight and winged its way to
heaven to join the angels of God.
Little Edwin had been a sufferer for
three months, and while all that
loving hands could do was done,
God saw fit to transplant the flower
to a purer soil, and her death only
serves as link to bind us closer to
God. Christ said, suffer little
children to come unto me, and for
bid them not, for of such is the king
dom of God"
We tender our deepest sympathy
to the bereaved parents, and may
they, after life's fitful dream is
over, awake to find themselves on
the evergreen shore with their
darling, who is now watching and
waiting for their coming.

REGRETTED THE SEPARATION.


But the Old Negro Took 1t for Granted
Ills Master was the One to Go.
That the most friendly and loving
relations existed between master
and slave before the negroes were
set free none but those who know
nothing about the South, or who are
blinded by prejudice and ignorance,
will deny.
In spite of the fact that we were
deprived of our property, vet the
kind feeling which the Southerners
had for their slaves caused them to
continue to look after the aged and
iniirm negroes until death relieved
them of their responsibility. Even
now, thirty years after the war, on
many of our Southern plantations,
you may see the old family servants
still in harness. Having been born
and reared on the place, they feel
that they are just as much of a
" fixture" there as is the well, the
spring, or the gate posts, and the
idea of leaving it has never once en-
tered their heads.
On one of our places there is an
old man who is employed to do light
work, and for which he receives
compensation commensurate with
the service performed. One of his
duties is to water the horse every
day at II O'Clock. His inability to
carry in his head the daily routine
work required (and which, by the
way, is one of the characteristics of
the race) caused his old master to
reprimand him often for his cruel
negligence. 1t finally became 50
unbearable that his master told him
that if it occurred again they would
have to separate.
ut amt a gwine to happ'n again,
sub" said the old man.
"All right" said the master, "but
as surely as it does happen again,
we will separate"
The impression made upon the
old negro by this powerful scold-
in, as he called it, lasted for sever.
al weeks, but it did happen at last
and his old master called him uE
and said: "We've got to separate
sooner or later, and it might as wei
come to-day, this very day" The
old darkey seeing that his master
was in dead earnest, begun to take
the separation seriously TO heart
and delivered himself of the follow
ing speech:
well, marster, we has bin to-
gether all our life. We has played
together as child'un, hunted cOoni
an pOssums together, an now bott
un us is done got old an it do looE
like pity for us to separate at dii
time O. life; it sho' does. But it,
all my fault, all my fault, sub, an
cyan't say word 'ginst what yol
has said" Then, looking up int
his old masters face, in tone o
great sorrow, said: "
well, sub, has you made up 70
mine yet as to whar you's a gwin,
to?" POLK MILLER.

ValOrOUS.

An old-time lord mayor of London
whose sporting experience was limi-
ted, rode forth one day to join the
City hunt in the fields about Mary
leb0ne. Placed by his escort under
a tree, his lordshipiheard the hounds
give tongue in the distance, and
the sounds grew louder aud louder,
till one of the City scouts shouted
out: THE hare comes this way, my
lord" The lord mayor rose to the
occasion, and drawing his sword, he
heroically exclaimed: Let him
come! think my God | fear him

Faith With Works.

A pretty anecdote is related of a
child who was greatly perturbed by
the discovery that her brothers had
set traps to catch birds. Questioned
as to what she had done in the mat
ter, she replied: II prayed that the
traps might not catch the birds"
"Anythings else?n Yes" she said.
II then prayed that God would pre-
vent the birds getting into the traps,
and, as if to illustrate the doctrine
of faith and works, II went and
kicked the traps all to pieces. FIX

The grand jury, having returned
indictments against members of the
alleged ice and drug trusts, has been
disbanded, leaving to another jury
the task of still further pursuing the
investigation as to trusts so well be-
gun. We hope the incoming jurors
will be inspired by the same patri-
otto sense of duty as their predeces-
sOrs. 1t takes a degree of nerve and
devotion to right for newspaper, a
Judge or a jury to attack the trust
evil. 1t is an evil that seems honey
combed into our civilization. 1t is
a tumor that has become deeply en-
grated upon the body polite. 1t is
n poisonous vine which has been al
lowed to grow until its bligh ting
tendrils have encompassed our en-
tire business system. Whenever an
attempt is made to correct the evil,
destroy the tumor or uproot the vine
IA howl of protest is raised, and the
man who has made himself so bold
finds that in some instances his best
friends are affected. Just as in the
removal of diseased flesh from the
body heroic treatment is necessary,
so is it with this evil. 1t is awful to
apply the operating knife but better
that than for the entire body to be-
come diseased.-Nashville Sun.
