 ty Seat Should Be Moved.

In response to query from d repre- sentative of this paper regarding his views on the county seat removal prop position, MT. J. c. Hudgins who owns large interests at and near Dallas, re- plied
 While my brother, Holder, and will probably be the heaviest losers in the county by having the county seat moved. yet I know that it will only be matter of time when the people will move 1t anyway, and the wise thing to do is to vote to move it now while we can get good location for the build. ings and more money donated for the new court house than the old one cost It is now almost impossible to hold court at Dallas only as those In atten-

THE POLL TAX LAW.
Who Are Entitled to Vote at the Coun-
 ty Seat Election.

From what we deem good Ieagal au- thority we learn that all who paid their poll tax last year are entitled to vote at the county seat election, as the time for paying poll tax this year does not expire until the first Satur- day in July, 1898, therefore, all those possessing the other necessary qualif- cations, who paid their poll tax last year, will be entitled to vote, whether they have paid this year or not.
 All those possessing she other nec- cessary qualifications, who have paid their poll tax this year, will be entitl- ed to vote, although they may not have paid last year. and all who paid last year and did not pay this year will be required to carry their poll tax receipt with them to the polls, as the list will not contain their names.
 All persons who make satisfactory proof that they have attained the age of twenty-one years since the time of assessing taxes next proceeding said county seat election are not required to have poll tax receipts and can vote.
 All persons who will have gained a residence in the state by residing here one year prior to June 24th, 1898, by making proper affidavit to the fact and paying their poll tax will be entitled to vote at the county seat election June 25. 1s98
 Those interested should note these facts and be prepared to cast legal vote for the removal of the county seat

fine looking cows with several calves

women slipping and smoking.
Taking seats where we conld watch
the cattle, we called for "Leche."

evening. but for the most part they
seemed to take the repeated visits Of

Siberian Horses Names and Tails.
Three hundred bales Of horses names
and tails, to be used for upholsterlng
furniture, have been landed here by
the British steamships Maine and
Michigan from London. They come
from far-away Siberia, and are taken
from horses used by the Cossacks after
the animals have outlived their useful
ness. Horses are cheap In Russia. and
after having seen better days their
names and tails are the only things left
Of commercial value. Very often
these hirsute appendanges are taken
from sound animals. and the beasts
left 10 their fate. Here the upholsier-
ers use the hair for stufting chair-backs
and other articles OF furniture, and the
material from Russia brings the best
price. because the hair is the longest.
and consequently the best.-Philadel
