n. @. Witten, an Old settler of Ell
LIS county, was here today from
Files. Mr.. Witten said that fifty
years ago he located in Wise county
and soon afterward Col. Dan Wag-
goner the cattle king who died few
weeks ago, settled near him, moving
into the county in an OK wagon.
Mr.. Witten says the first business
venture made by Col. Waggouer
was the establishment of "A small
grist mill. During Mr.. Witten's
residence of fifteen years in Wise
county the settlers were greatly
harrassed by the Indians who would
murder their families and steal their
stock. At one time Mr.. Witten was
captain of frontier battalion of cav
airy and was engaged In many warm
skirmIshes with Indians. Mr..
Witten says that while soldering
he came across a great number of
women who had been murdered and
theirbodies mutilatedby the savages.
He came to Ellis county thirty odd
years ago and bought a fine farm
and is now surrounded by peace and
plenty.

FIRST TIME IN WAxAHACHIE.
W. T. Emory. Owner OF the EN-
Ory Mill Remnant Sale, Here.

Mr.. w. T. Emory, the famous
"Mill Remnant" man, who has
achieved a national reputation as
the originator of an idea that has
resulted in placing before the people
of the large cities at regular inter
walls the opportunity to buy the best
products of the textile mills at mill
prices, is at Brin Dry Goods Co.
Mr.. emory will inaUgurate his first
Mill Remnant Sale in Waxahachie,
Monday, Oct. Il, 8 am. The entire
stock will be turned over to the con-
troll of Mr.. Emory and the week
labor has been expended in prepar-
ing the stock for the inspection of
those who wish to take advantage
of this rare chance to get first-ciass
goods at manufacturer prices.
In the firstplace it is necessary to
understand the real significance of
the term mill remnant" as applied
to these sales. First, none of the
textile mills have yet discovered a
plan to avoid making remnants.
"There has never been loon
made yet" said Mr.. Emory last
night, that would invariably make
perfect weave cloth. The mill
remnant comes as thefesult of this
imperfect weavingsFIf a piece of
cloth, say 80 yardg is being woven,
the operator cutsout the imperfectly
woven Kplace, md the good piece
lett goes to NJ remnant pile, the
piece being gge ara, five yards or
ten yarA@$ None of those slight
flaws make any difference to the
user, but it prevents the mill or fac
torf from selling the goods at profit
able prices. The great mass of mill
remnants secured for this sale con-
sist of new goods direct from the
loom and are offered at mill cost"
None of these cloths can he sold by
the manufacturers as full pieces, as
they are wanting in length. "
MIR. w. T. Emory represents the
United Mills Surplus d Remnant
Co. of New York and Boston, which
controls the remnants of all the big
mills in the manufacturing districts
of the East. Among these are the
Mohawk Valley Mills, the Fall
River Mills, the New Bedford Mills
and the North Adams Mills. The
products of these mills are secured
at the actual cost of manufacturing
them and are placed directly before
the people at prices that make it inn
possible TO resist the temptation to
buy There will be something new
to be seen every day. 1t will be
profitable to buyers to visit the
Brin Dry Goods Co. every day the
sale is i'm Dr0prpsS During the sale
Mr.. Emory will be in complete
charge, and will have corps Of
capable assistants. "a

Chairman T. S. Hamilton, of the
county democratic executive COM
mittee, spent yesterday In the city
on business connected with his Of;
fee. He stated that when the coun-
ty convention adjourned last April
only a few precincts had named
members of the executive commit
tee. Through the county press he
requested all precincts which had
not named a chairman to at once
advise HIM of some suitable person
for the place. The precincts having
failed to do this he has exercised
his authority as chairman to fill the
vacancies, and gave out the follow
ing list for publication:

sonnel OF the company includes
many Of the old favorites together
with many new ones including Mr..
Edward Fagleton, a singer and
comedian whose merits are such
that place him III the front ranks of
comic opera tavorites. Mr.. Eagle
ton possesses a fine basso, which
he knows how to use, besides the
happy faculty Of detailing his com
edy work TO the minutest point. He
Is In point of statue somewhat of an
exception to opera comedians,
being rather tall and of fine phys
ique, which serves him doubly well
in the towering "El Captain, =" a
part in which he has no equal to-
day, adfpftted by the best critics to
be far cleverer than the original. In
his support in the comedy roles the
company has retained Mr.. Harry
Lightwood, the clever little come
dian who made himself so popular
here last season.
Miss Lottie Kendall, the beauti-
ful singer, likeness of whom ap-
pears in this article, still heads the
female portion of the Olympians,
and returns with new and brilliant
success, AS Estrilda in "El Capt.

tion. In her support the company
Is greatly improved, having besides
the contralto, Miss Therese Barker,
an important addition in the person
of Miss Lucille Deval, a soprano
with a good, clear and sweet voice.
She is scarcely a season a graduate
of the Cincinnati College of music.
Mr.. Carrick Major, the baritone
is young man with fine big voice
and good looks. The tenor, Mr.. Ed

season and his voice is said to be in
fine shape now. Among other prin-
cipals may be mentioned Messrs

A Big Industry.

Doubtless there are few people in
Waxahachie who have ever realized
or who appreciate the extent or mag
nitade OF the business done by Nj .
Nj. Mosely in the purchase and sale
of mules and horses We do not
know OF q city in the state or the
United states as for that matter,
where this kind OF industry is con-
Quoted on such al extensive scale
During the time Mr. Mosloy has
been engaged In this business he
has turned loose thousands of dol
lars not only in Ellis county but in
the adjoining counties. And aside
from his local purchases he has had
horses and mules shipped here from
California, Colorado and other
states, which have been put on feed
for several days and then sold at
handsome profits.
A reporter for this paper visited
Mosley's feeding barns yesterday
afternoon and was shown through
the pens of mules and horses
by Mr.. Mosley. While inspecting
them Mr.. Moseley explained that he
now had on hand lbs mules, the
average value of which Is $50.
These mules were bought from the
farmers of Ellis, Hill and MeLennan
counties and after they have been
fed awhile they will be shipped to
Little Rock and Memphis and sold.
Mr.. Mosley told US that his business
for the last year amounted in round
numbers to 500 600.

MUD BOUQUETS.
How Flowers May be Arranged in Plates
of Damp Earth.

This does not sound very elegant
title, but | assure you that the finest
effects | have ever seen have been the
result Of flowers arranged in moist
earth. The work is most pleasing, 100
and inyalids would find it very health
ful way Of disposng of some of those
tedious hours which are sometimes ex-
tremeiy wearying to the convalescent.
Before you commence the earth used
must be finely sifted, or, at least, freed
from stones; then having provided your
self with soup places or oval pickle
disnes, fill them with the earth, press
ing it firmly with the hands and raising
it i'll the center quite two inches higher
than the sides.
When it is nodded to your fancy dip
brush into water, and very gently We
every part, but avoiding anything like
sloppiness-a little experience will Very
soon teach you the exact consistency
needed to support the stems of the flow
ers. You will find it good plan to take
Il knife and press the earth back to
within half an inch of the edge Of the
plate-this will prevent any uneven OF
slovenly appearance.
Now commence your decorative work
by arranging Il border of leaves round
the edge, as they do not wither quickly.
Lay those on, horizontally. letting them
overlap each other slightly. and make
a hole for the stem with Il hatpin or
knitting needle; the stems OF all flowers
and leaves should be about an inch long.
Insert little sprays of delicate grass here
and there among the leaves. using your
taste and Judgment MS to the length Of
the grass-so as to impart feathery APP
pearance-yet not making it topheavy.
As 70 the flowers, noviceS had better
content themselves with one color at
first; afterward combinations can be at

those which can be picked to pieces ARE
to be used. l saw the other dav very
