u0ing TO Bryan.

The many friends in Waxahachie of
that genial fellow, Mr.. Robert M.
Craig, will no doubt regret to learn
that he has decided to sever his
connections with the city. Mr.. Craig
has resigned his position as travelling
salesman of the NAPLES Platter Gro
Gerry Company and on February 1 he
will go to Bryan to accept a position
with the Merchants National Sank as
assistant cashier. Mr.. Craig Is an Ell
lis county boy, being born il the OWL
Ia country in 1858. His early educa-
ton was obtained in the country
schools and at the age of twenty he
began his business career as clerk In a
store. He has succeeped well in life
and few years ago was made cashier
of the bank at Midlothian. He left
the bank two years ago to make the
race for county treasurer and the
strong vote he received In that cam
paien strongly attests his popularity
in Ellis county. After the primary
election In which he was defeated he
accepted position with the NAPLES
Platter people as travelling salesman,
which he held until he was appointed
assistant cashier of the Bryan bank.
mir, Craig will let his family remain
here until some time in the summer.
Mr.. Craig Is one OF orr very best eit-
liens, and while we regret to loss him,
we join his many friends In wishing
him abundant success in bis new
home.

EARLY DAY RELICS.
Some Merchandise Accounts Made in
Waxahachie Before the War

Mr. r. M. Craig called at this Office
this morning and showed the reporter
some old merchandise accounts made
by his father here In an early day.
There were three OF these accounts,
one dated in 1859, one in 1860 and the
other in 1861. They contained an
itemized statement of the merchan-
disc bought by Mr.. Craig during each
bought from Mr.. N. Oldham, father OF
Mr.. Ed Oldham, who was then in the
mercantile business in Waxahachie,
A comparison OF the prices OF staple
articles that prevailed at that time
with those of the present time show
but very little difference. Tobacco
was quoted from so to rs cents per
pound, owing to the quality. Flour
was quoted at $3.50 per hundred
pounds and cord of wood would buy
81 90 worth of tobacco. Brown do
mestic sold for 10 cents a yard while
nothing was thought Of paying 20
cents a yard for good drilling. Mr..
Craig, senior, settled in this county
near OviIla ia 1854, coming here from
Missouri. He was a farmer and
stockman by occupation, and taught
school several years in the county.
He died In 1854 and in 1870 his widow
was married to MIR. j. M. Whitehead,
q prominent citizen of the county.
She is still living and though advanced
in years is quite hale and hearty.
Mr.. Oldham, from whom Mr.. Craig
bought his merchandise, came to
Waxahachie in 1853 from Tennessee.
However, he was native OF Virginia.
Mr.. Oldham brought small stock of
goods with him to Waxahachie and
established about the third business
house in the city. At that time the
early settler could not foresee the
bright future for the struggling little
village on Cow creek. In those days
the land in the vicinity of the Park
school building sold for $500 per acre.
Now very little of the same land could
be bought for less than $500 an acre.

The high esteem in which this popu-
Lar young couple are held by the com.
munity in which they live, was clear
ly manifested by the fact, that nearly
one hunderd guests were present TO

their new relation, and each seemed
to vie with the other In adding to the
felicity and enjoyment of the occasion,
while
"Soft eyes looked love to eyes that
spoke again,
And all went merry as q marriage
bell"
After the ceremony was performed,
the large company repaired TO the
dining room, where bountifnl and
elegant supper had been provided by
the fair hands of the bride and her
sister, assisted by loving friends, to
which ample justice was done by the
invited guests.
The entire community unite In wish
ing for the young couple an abundance
Of Joy an happiness in their mstri-
monial venture, and sincerely pray
that the skies of their married life
may ever remain az serene and cloud
lees az was the evening of their union.

Saturday night and hitched his horse

When he went TO start home about

Curing n DueIfst.

It is said that Harvard man who
was visiting Paris in some innocent
way offended a club member, who
promptly slapped his face, the French
man expecting, of course, to receive a
challenge for a duel. Instead OF this
proceeding the Harvard man turned
and looked for an instant at his adj
versary, then quick as flash pulled
back his strong right hand and sent
the fellow rolling across the floor,
breaking the bones of his nose in two
places.
After few weeks, when the French
man had sufficiently recovered from
the incident to discover what had hap
pened, he issued a formal challenge to
his American offender to fight duel,
and, being the recipient of the chal-
lenge, the American was permitted to
select the weapons. He promptly chose
a baseball and, being an old pitcher,
threw with an accuracy which resulted
in the Frenchmans getting another
wound on the nose, curing him entirely
of the love for dueling.
