EDITOR TEXABKANIAN: In pursu-
ance to a call of some one to the
writer or to the public unknown, a
meeting of some fifty citizens as
sembled in Bright Star yesterday
evening. W. 7. Bryant called the
meeting to order aud stated that
the object of the meeting was to
find out whether the people here
would Join in a general meeting for
a convention to be held at Roberts
in the near future, looking to a
more equitable distribution of the
county's offices, and if so, to choose
delegates to attend SAID convention,
J. W. Hughes, a prominent and
sound democrat, was chosen chair
man and presided with becoming
democratic dignity and impartial
lily. Some difference of opinion was
found to exist as to the advisabiIity
of such a movement at this time,
but after some discussion three dele.
gates were chosen to attend the
county meeting at Roberts, consist
ing of E. L. Milestone, ST., John p,
Jones and W. 7. Bryant, and were
instructed to support Mr., Walker
for county representative aud Mr.
Blckham for sheriff.
The meeting seemed to be tenn
pered with a proper respect for al
our candidates, and the gentleman
to whom the following lines apply
failed to be heard from:
'And so every day he gave the Almighty
Advice which be deemed of great worth
And his wife took in sewing
To keep things going
While he superintended the earth.
The most effective method of ac.
complishiug the object sought was
discussed, and the concensus OF
opinion seemed to be that if the
mountain would not come to Ma.
homet there was only one thing left
for Mahomet to do.
DR. ]. N. McCasland, a rell,known
hustling democrat, announced to
some of his friends that he would
be a candidate for county repre-
sentative, JEFF, as he is familiarly
called, has many loyal friends here,
Mr., Walker was with us and when
called on for a speech modestIy de-
clined, but would merely offer a sug-
gestion to the effect that everybody
vote for him.
