MONTALBA.
Special Correspondence.
MoNTALBA, October 18th.

Dear Herald.-We will drop you
a few lines this week to let all
know we are well; no one sick in
our neighborhood. This is one
of the greatest blessings that we
can have.
We were surprised last week
when we got the paper and found
that no one had written a letter
to the grand old Herald. | hope
this will not happen again, for we
always look for the letters first.
We attended the Methodist
quarterly meeting at Brushy
Creek last Saturday, but are sor-
nv to say our beloved presiding
elder was not there on account of
being sick at his home in Crock
EFT. We hope by this time he may
be able to attend to his duties as
presiding elder.
While at Brushy Creek we had
the pleasure of taking dinner with
Brother and Sister Osa Rogers.
They are among the best people
of Brushy Creek. 1t is ALWAYS a
great pleasure to meet those good
people up there.
Mr.. Editor, we are sorry to re-
port that we are about to loose
DR.. Poyner and wife, who are
preparing to leave us. We will
lose a good family and one of the
best doctors in the county. This
leaves good opening for good
experienced doctor, the kind we
want and the kind we are going
to have. This is one of the best
locations in East Texas for a good
doctor. We have a pretty coun-
try and as good people as there
are in any country. We also have
two good churches, Methodist and
Baptist, each valued at about one
thousand dollars, and a good
school house, with as good teach
err rs can be found anywhere.
Bro. w. l.. Brown attended
at Brushy Greek last
Saturday. Bro. Calhoun and |
wife and Bro. Millican and fam
ily, and Sister Frank DOMAIN. and |
Mr.. Cardell and wife, and Mrs. |
John Green were pleasant visitors
ut Bro. Geo. Wards last Sunday |
evening.
Bro. George Ward left SunSSr
for Red River county on business.
Also Mr.. Pink Dodson of Concord
left for the same place to look at
The country.
Mr.. McKinzie and family, near
Mount Prairie. were visiting their
Mr.. and Mrs. Calhoun,
asst Saturday night and Sunday.
Mr.. Walter Simmons and fam
ly were visiting the family of Mr..
Dan Cook last Sunday.
Mrs. Hendricks, daughter of
Sister Turner, returned to her
home in Navarro county last Sat
lay. Her husband has school
here which opened Monday.
There was an ice cream supper y
1t the home of Mr.. VIM. Harden I
asst Friday night. 1t was largely
Intended and all had nice time.
We will ask a question for some
me to answer: How would you
'un a district court without dis
riot judge? If you cannot answer
his we will answer it for you.
With this we will close.

CHESS MASTERS ARRIVE.
Eight Foreign Players Here for Intsr-
 national Tournament.


 Eight famous chess players, the pick of Europe's talent, were passengers on board the Hamburg-American liner Pretoria, which arrived in Hoboken Sunday. The masters arrived barely in time to be the guests of the Manhat- tan Chess club at it's annual dinner at the Hotel Cumberland last night. In the party were the worlds champion, Dr Emanuel Lasker, David JanoWski of France, M. l. Tschirgorin, the Rus sian champion: Carl Cchlechter, Aus tria champion; Robert Aeichmann and T. F. Lawrence of London, the larLer the champion of the City of London Chess club, and George Marco, Nien- nese expert of the first rank.
 These players, with Jacques Mieses of Liepsic, who is following on the steamship Graf Waldersee, will be conapetitors in the international tourn- ament of the Cambridge Springs Chess congress, opening at Cambridge Springs, Pa, a week from tomorrow. Eight leading American experts will also compete in the tournament. An other prominent chess player on board the Pretoria was Herr Victor, treasurer of the Carlsbad Chess club of Ger many. Frank J, Marshall, one of the eight American players, also returned from abroad on the Pretoria after an absence of over two years.
 Dr Lasker, when asked concerning the reported postponement of h,s ma ch with Tarrasch, gave evidence of his strong disapproval of the course pur- sued by the challenger in his conduct of the negotiations Tarrasch, he said was responsible for the publication Ill his personal organ, the fBerliner Lokal Anzeiger, of the unauthorized and in- correct statement that the principals had agreed to postpOnement of one year. Dr Lasker denied that 4ac haG consented to any such arrangement. On the contrary, he had specifically in- formed Dr Tarrasch that he, as cham pion, had no right to enter into q long drawn out agreement with a particular challenger, whereby other aspirants for championship honors were thrust aside.
 Such precedent would invite just condemnation on the part of all lovers of fair sport. Further. pr LaslSer said he had stipulated that he would be pre- pared to play at any time on three months notice. No reply, however was youchsafed by pr Tarrasch, who's failure to do so was characterized by the champion as the reverse of courte- ous. The latter considers the negotia, tions off, and is open to challenge from all corners of acknowledged rank, un' der reasonable conditions, including of course, Dr Tarrasch.
 During the trip across the eight masters played consultation game al the Rice gambit. Dr Las1xer. Tschig- orin, Marshall and Teishmann played the white pieces and defeated Janow ski, Marco, Schleiter and Lawrence.

THE SPORTING NEWS.


 It was the usual six round affair, and was given by the Lenox Athletic club. Hanlon tried hard for knock out, but Timothy had the six round habit pat, and was too evasive for Ed- die to get there with the fatal wallop. Tn the last round both fought viciously. Tim played for the jaw, while Hanlon confined his attention to the body. Both landed frequently, but the Frisco lads blows were the stiffest. Callan- han whipped his left to the jaw twice, and in mixup got home nasty up percut to the face. Hanlon retaliated by sending in four solid smashes to the head. This was an unwelcome pro- ceeding to the Quaker, and he held on to save himself. The Westerner then cut loose for finishing punch, but Callahan kept falling to clinch, and the bell put an end to the show.

FITZ TO MCCOY.

q will make the following proposi- ton to Mccoy or any of the other ambitious middleweights who are after my scalp. If Mccoy wants a fight will agree to box him six rounds at catchweights or twenty rounds at 15S pounds, the middleweight limit. But If we agree to a longer fight I must have some time to train. I don't care to do business in a hurry for q big bout because I want time in which to get in trim. But guess I can get Tn fettle for short scrap with him in about three weeks, and if he is up to snuff and in earnest here is his chance. If Mccoy insists on fighting me for the middleweight title I will agree to sign articles for mill to take place three months from date. And I am confident of whipping the 'Kid'-so much so that will be prepared to bet from $2.5O0 to $5,O0O.'

New York, Sept. 27.-After max

try former Senator Jas. X. Jones
who was for eight years chairman
of the Democratic national com
mittec, predicts victory for his
party,
A month ago Mr.. Jones was
much less optimistic in his view
than many other Democrats, aud
his present confidence, therefore,
is encouraging 10 Democrats who
are not entirely satisfied with the
outlook. He says:
"The confidence of the Demo

cess at the polls this year is well
illustrated by the great number OF
high.class nominations for COVER.

parts of the country.
"NO assertion is made by the
Republicans that any one of the
states which they cOncede to the

sents one of the most interesting
and peculiar features of the cam.

manner the aggressive canvass
which is being waged by the party

There is no wider difference be-

Apparently nine.tenths of the
human family have no sense of

human nature is the affection of

They are always trimming their
sails to the variable winds of those
before whom they want TO make a
favorable impression.
The people guilty of this affec.
tation are generally those who are
utterly incapable of the things
they affect.
They are destitute of real learn

ally of reasoning power, and for
that very reason make a solemn
pretense of having them all.
