on q friend and a0arad e. alst -
Ift was posslbte for a*faB t3A@ -
/ to do in describing Jsuk -. e
Holt families are Oh zezas -
and ioviaI, and old time he4a 49,
ances OF Mr.. Wear and We both b.
a Jolly time with them. Next mora
ling we crossed . mountain ana .
sand rough country getting 10
Woodbury., which IL small eaun-
try town situated ON the edge "a taas
prairie. Here everybody told na
Jack was solid and no use TO speak,
but he did speak to i good erowsz
and the final vote at that Phase
showed that Jack got them nearly
all.
Next we went to Peoria, eighf
miles west of Hillsboro, where thai
night at eight O'Clock Mr.. Wear nzsS
Mr.. Cureton of Bosque county IN
Joint debate, and what Wear did e
him was a plenty. He asked hfn
why the good people of Bosque, haf
own county, did not take his advfse
and vote for Wooten. At Peoria
Mr.. J. T. TruH, who formerly fved
at Bardwell and married sister TO
| Commissioner j. b. Overall at EEr
mis-, last fall bought a splendid, we'd
| improved farm. We struck hfn
there and / do love to eat with an
Ellis county man, and of course we
went to his splendid home. Mrs
Trull said she felt like some of her
kinfolks had come to see her when
Innocence arrived, and / felt the
| same way about it for she did spread
us a splendid supper. That night
after Mr.. Wear had chewed up the
gentleman from Bosque we drove
/ into Hillsboro. In, the meantime
after we had left Mr.. Wooten had
arrived and a committee of citizens,
headed by Mr.. f. s. Davis, a BROTH
er of Col. Jim's, who resides there,
| had waited on Wooten and demand
ed division of time for Jack. This
! Mr.. Wooten positively refused, and
when he did excitement at once rose
to fever heat and workers for Woo
ten from Dallas and workers for
Beall from Ellis began arriving ON
| every train A hand to hand and n
/ house to house contest right then
and there begun. / came home FRI
day night, got my Sunday school
lesson, took in first Monday, and "a
i was strolling down the street
Monday Mrs. Beall, who is SPLEEN
did, jolly lady, met and shook her
fist at me and said j had better get
to Hill county, and Tuesday found
me again in the fight.
1t was SAID three hundred went
from Dallas there to work. Several
from Ellis went, how many do not
know, and possibly never will. Ev-
cry fellow did his best. The fact is.
no BeaIl man down there was al
lowed to stand still any time. Too
many Wooten men to punch him
and he was compelled to defend his
man and his cause. Lee Penn, also
of Waxahachie, and myself were
sent TO Brandon and Mertens to
, look after those boxes. Both these
towns are close to the Ellis county
, line and we had some good friends
from Milford come over to help us,
besides Beall men who resided at
both towns and in the surrounding
, country. The Wooten men at both
: places treated us nicely. Both
: towns are in the midst of magnifi-
cent country and Penn, T. s. Ham
: ilton, editor of the Italy News-HeT-
} aid, who was with us part of the
time, and / did our best and both
, towns went for Beall. 1t was n
: hard tussle at Brandon, and / hope
| never to see such another scramble
for this or any other Office. Mr.
i Wooten's brother-in-law, Mr.. Bal
: ley, from Fort Worth, managed his
1 campaign, n d NJ r. Strickland,
f Beall's brother-in-law, who resides
, in Waxahachie, managed his, and L
= will say for Strickland that there is
: not better campaign manager I'm
0 Texas. He is a Mark Hanna with
0 out Marks barrel to draw from. LII
n he had barrel to draw from he
S would be a good one.
0 While in Hillsboro l called on Mr..
t and Mrs. j +. Robinson, old time
t friends, who formerly lived at Mex
: la. Mr.. Robinson is now connected
h with the Hillsboro Mirror and is do
Il ing splendidly with them. The fact
@ is he is proving a splendid newspar-
:. per man. He and his good wife own
d nice home in HilIboro and are
q happy and contented.
