BLIZZARD IS RAGING
 DOWN IN TEXAS.
Worst in Ten Years and Stock men Suffer Great Losses Sleet and Ice Cover the
 Lone Star State.

Fort Worth, Feb. '. Specials from a large number of points in west Texas indicate that the present blizzard is the worst in ten years.
 The whole northern portion of the state is covered with frozen sleet, cattle are huddled in punches and cannot be moved to water. Stockmen estimate their losses as aggregating hundreds of thousands of dollars and that range cattle will not recover in six months from the damage done them so far.
 There is no sign of the blizzard abating and the thermometer is below freezing all over the cattle country. Such a general storm has not occurred in years.

ness just now of peculiar na- ture that several of our physi- clans ascribe to the water. The river at this time of the year sh uld be at it's best, so far as the purity of the water is con- cerned and the cause is thought by many to be in the reservoir, which may need cleaning. The seriousness of the trouble and the extent to which it is preva- lent seem to warrant an investi- gation of the cause of this gen. eral sickness.

NEGRO PAID THE
 DEATH PENALTY.
John Carter Expiates His Crime on GalloWs at Marianna
 for Murder.

Marianna, Feb. 7.-John Car ter, a negro, was hanged here this morning for the murder of James Woods, a white man.
 The difficulty which ended in in murder. resulted from trouble over a game of craps played at a boat landing in the eastern edge of the county, near Walnut Bend about fourteen months ago.
 The condemned man was first sentenced for execution on June 10, 1904, but the case was ap- pealed to the supreme court, which affirmed the decision of the lower court, and Governor Davis set the date for execution at February '.
 The trap was sprung at l0:26, and death resulted in fourt cen minutes.
 The execution was private, no persons being present but official, doctors and newspaper men.
 This execution is the eighth in the history of Lee county since 1873.

 TON
AT THE TOWN HALL, DECEMBER 4.

The first entertainment in the Men $ club course, the de Barrie Gill cOmbi- nation, the only two-harp com pany in America will be given at the Town hall, December 4. The following high endorsement speaks for itself:
 It was my good fortune while de- livering some lectures at the Mountain Lake Park Chautauqua Assembly, to hear Elizabeth de Barrie Gill Tn many of her readings. Mrs Gill is very yer satile in her work, passing quickly from grave to gay, fET<tragedy tc comedy. She shows yreciation of her authors thoc9Ao c, and she evinces equal skill in the interpreta- tion and inculcatio of that thought Her voice is rich, enunciation distinct, and emphasis judicious. Her manner on the platform is winsome and pleas ing, and her entire personality is at- tractive Mrs Gill's voice is so care fully trained that it readily responds, whether in reading or song, to every demand made upon it by her varied repertoire. Behind all these platform qualities is a woman of culture and character.-[Dr Robert Stuart MacAr- thur, Pastor Calvary Baptist Church, New York City, September 8, 1903.

A WORD FOR TEMPERAN
BY HELEN A. TAYLOR.

We are glad to see the people to the
 temperance union come, Yes, gather up your forces to quell the
 power of rum; A nuisance and an evil, past power of
 pen to tell, It's influence far reaching cen to the
 gates of hell. Widowed mothers with their children
 depending on their sons, Do not want them tempted when
 home from work they come. Evil ones around them coaxing to stop
 in the saloon, That with open doors are waiting to
 tempt them to their doom. Perchance some dear ones cherished,
 before them have gone down, By drinking rum have periShed, first
 found in a saloon. Temperance people strong must rally
 and united work A campaign in this our city, a great
 reform to work; The saloons are getting dangerous so
 boldly do they stand Reckoning with silver fingers for vic.
 tims there to land; But thank the Gracious Father, that
 grace doth still abound, Only waiting for signal to put this
 evil OOWQ. Some leaders with an influence pos
 sessed of power and will To head long procession gainsG the
 workers of the still. Women, persuade your husbands to
 get their forces out With our sons and with our daughters
 this rum power to rOut. Seek to enlarge our number, our mis-
 sion good to fill A strong campaign for temperance and
 rally with will. With power of persuasion, by kindly
 words and prayer, To help deluded victims their habits
 to repair. Suffering wives and children are call
 ing in distress, Urging human sympathy for those so
 much oppressed. So gladly would we help them but
 then what is the use When the saloons are standing to
 shower their abuse. They must be put away, the fault is
 at their door. Comes all this want and misery, the
 greater part we're sure. This is the object to attain, twill be
 serious fight; Justice and mercy will prevail, God
 will uphold the right. Danbury, Great Plain district.
