An Unique Entertainment.

In the present era OF social gale

remember our senior friends, but
not so with Mrs. w. J. Buie, who
entertained a number of the elderly
ladies Of the city yesterday after

some Main street home, ia honor of
her mother, Mrs. f. A. Clark OF
Wolfe City.
Every age has its compensations
so only those Of Mrs. Buie's friends
who were in a dec ade OF three score
and ten were permitted to enjoy the
mirth and merriment which pre-
vailed there yesterday. A contest
was entered in which each one was
to guess the age of one of the
guests, Mrs. SalIie Martin, and
Mrs. Read, mother Of Mrs. Jas. \
Ivy, received the prize, q beautitu1

contest the ladies were conducted to
the parloF where each was asked to
play some favorite selection which
they had known in their early girl
hood, and IL was pleasure to see
the faces aglow with reminiscenses
of the Virginia reel and other past
times which their happy youth had
known
Delightful refreshments Of chick

nectar were served. Altogether the
evening was one of genuine infor-

rstt and Ennis. Mr. X. d. Hudson,
who has been active In organizing
and conducting excursions from
Ellis county to the congress each
year, said this morning before de-
parting for College Station that he
would make au effort to have the
meeting held one month later next
year so the farmers would have time
10 get through with their work and
attend.

CONDITION OF COTTON
An Improvement Is Generally Indicated
Throughout the Cotton Belt.

Washington, July 5.-The weekly
report Of the bureau Of agriculture
issued today says:
An Improvement of cotton is gem
orally indicated throughout the cot
ton belt. The plant continues small
in the central and eastern districts.
1t Is now making rapid growth
throughout the belt, especially in
the central and western portions.
The crop is generally well cultivat-
ed, although some fields in Okla
homa and Northwest Texas are
foul. Cotton is beginning to open
in the southwestern coast parts of
Texas.
General rains fell during the week.
AS rule the amounts exceeded an
inch and scattered loo alities receiv-
ed two or three inches.
The temperature was about nor
NAL or ten to fifteen degrees below,
except that there was an excess of
one to two degrees over the north
ern part Of Georgia and parts of Ala
bama. The greatest deficiency was
over Tennessee, Arkansas and West
Texas.

st. Louis, Mo. July 5.-From all
Indications Judge Alton b. Parker
Is gaining strength every hour and
his nomination on first or second
ballot is now practically assured.
The opposition to the New York
iurist utterly collapsed this morn
ing and delegations are running
over each other to get a seat on the
Parker band wagon. The stampede
was started last night by the action
OF the Pennsylvania delegation vot.
ing In caucus to cast the 68 votes of
that state for Judge Parker. Several
state delegations are holding eau
cuses today. but probably the one
of most interest is the meeting of
the Maryland delegates which is
now In session. Just what action
will be taken by this delegation can
not be foretold but IL was practically
settled this morning that all German
votes will be cast for Judge Parker
on the first ballot.
August Belmont is out In an in
tervIew today Ia which he states
that Judge Parker will probably be

Opposed to the GudtemoIdR Ant.

Jim Harrison, who lives near
Nash, Is one of the most extensive,
practical and successful farmers in
Ellis county. He was in the city
yesterday afternoon and in a gener-
al discussion of crop conditions Mr..
Harrison said he endorsed the move
ment being made in South Texas to
have the government eujoiued from
importing the Guatemalau ant into
this state. According to Mr. Har-
rlson these insects are very vicious
in their attacks on man and beast
and he says it is almost impossible
for either TO live In q community in
tested by the ants. He says the
sting or bite OF this ant ia very pois-
onous and they make life miserable
for all animal kind wherever they
exist. Mr.. Harrison thought the
boil weevils would be preferable To
the ants
Mr.. r. J 4. Davenport, another
Ellis county farmer who IS right up
~ AAF" tA& AAIS al anu NAACAAt Rl AZ
riculture, is of the opinion that the
ants would be great thing for the
country. Mr.. Davenport spent last
night in the city and left this morn
ing for College Station to attend the
Farmers Congress. In conversation
with a reporter for this paper Mr..
Davenport said there were ants on
his farm which very much resembIed
the Gustemalan species. He says
he observed them at work on his
cotton number of years and they
are very destructive 20 boil worms
