MOUNTAIN PEAK.

Mountain Peak, Feb. 26.-Weath-
err the past week, while rather cold,
has been favorable for outdoor
work and farmers have taken advan-
tage of 1t to push their work and
have theiI land in good shape.
Dat sowing is about over and the
wheat crop looks promising.
The writer noticed some corn be-
ing planted this week.
J. E. Warren commenced plant
ing corn Friday. Unlucky day
Jake Hollabaugh and John Brom-
ley went to Waxahachie Monday.
Wheeler Tidwel went to Waxa-
hachie Monday.
The writer was at Waxahachie
full of cards with candidates names
on them, but he has not been in
| Texas long enough to know any of
them personally, but they all made
a favorable impression and no doubt
the offices will be we'll filled, who
ever is elected
! Thos. Orange celebrated his 46th
birthday Sunday.
The f. U. of A. met Saturday night
Fin regular session with a good at
tendance.
| The writer was present and furn-

one of the very few things done for
the farmers direct from the govern

| ton, and will, perhaps, soon be done
away with. Then, of course, it VII
pass into the hands of trust.
1t seems that the language of the
distinguished American citizen will
come to pass anyhow, and that man
kind will be crucified on "A Cross of
Gold" 1t has been proven in the
past that when trouble assails the
government, gold disappears from
| circulation and seeks 1.-The Strong
Box of the Miser" and paper money
takes it's place. Many of us remem-
Der how this was in the times of the
civil war. How that gold and silver
disappeared and greenback money
took it place and carried the coun-
try through The var and also the
dark days of reconstruction They
also remember that after the war
| how this greenback currency was
driven from circulation when gold
saw proper to come out of hiding,
and now prophecy that many re-
members, and that made one man
| famous, crown of thorns has been
| placed on the brow of labor and
mankind has been crucified on a
cross of gold For, when gold goes
! into hiding, it carries all the other
circulating mediums with it for it is
all on gold basis.
The smokehouse of Elias Petty
was entered by thieves Sunday night
and about 200 pounds of bacon pur-
| Joined. It seems that the meat was
carried off in a buggy, but no clew
| to the thieves. Mr.. Petty killed one
| hog that weighed over 400 pounds
and he lost those sides. An effort
was made to get the sheriff and
| bloodhounds on the scene but failed
Two buggy robes are reported to
have been stolen from parties who
attended church at Mountain Peak
