Art For Schools

The julius Frey h n High
School has secured the EIsen Art
Exhibit of Boston, Mass, and
beginning on the 10Th inst. will
give the people of West Feliciana
such an opportunity to see au-
thorized copies of the best and
most famous paintings of the
world as they have never had be-
fore.
The pictures will be On exhibi-
ton in the High School building
for a week, and no one should
miss this opportunity of seeing
them. We may never see the
originals of these famous paint
ings. but we can get good idea
of what real art is from this ex-
hibit.
The object of the exhibition is
to secure funds with which to
purchase pictures for the walls
of the High School, and all the
money received will be used for
this purpose. The small sum Of
ten cents will be charged for
each visit to the exhibit, and we
are sure that every one will want
to come more than once. The
school children will sell tickets.
Encourage them by buying liber-
ally. A. M. HENDoN,
Superintendent.

The Lion and the Mouse.

1.-The Lion and the Mouse" the
most successful drama produced
within the past twenty years, will
be presented at the opera house to-
night with a company of exceptional
strength and every requisite in the
way of stage accessories. The play
was written by Charles Klein and
deals with a theme that has human
nature as, it's keynote, the conspicu-
GUS element that Mr.. Klein has so
wildly pictured representing the in
fluence which the moneyed interests
of the country are exerting on the
social and financial phases of life
The triumph which this drama has
achieved is expressed by the fact
that it ran for two years in New
York, has been played for eight
months to crowded houses in Bos.

nominate candidates for delegates to
the national convention, and we
await with Impotence the contest to
selected and those at Waco, and
when the battle of ballots shall have
been waged grand old Ellis county
will be found, as she always has
been, lined up in the Bailey column.
8. We heartily endorse that
great daily newspaper of our neigh
boring county, the Fort Worth Rec
ord, for the valiant fight it is max
ing in defense of democracy and its
great exponent, Senator Bailey, and
note with pride tie unanswerable ar
guments that are found in its fpl-
umns to the unwarrantable and ma
licious attacks that are constantly
being made upon him by his chief
foe, the Dallas News, in it's persistent
but aboritive effort to impair or des-
! troy his usefulness and prestige in
the councils of the nation.
10. We desire and recommend
that all democrats in Ellis county
| who favor the election of Senator
! Bailey as delegate at large to the
national convention at once organ
ize Bailey democratic clubs in every
| voting box in the county, to the end
| that his election as such delegate
may be fully assured at the primary
| soon to be held for that purpose.
The resolutions were signed by

receive the severest condemnation of
democrats the nation over.
s. We cheerfully endorse the
candidacy of Col R. M. Wynne of
Fort Worth for the Office of attorney
general and believe that in him the
democracy of Texas will find a man
who is honest, capable and coura-
geous, and who if elected. will not
content himself by prosecuting one
trust to the exclusion and compro-
mise of others, but will fearlessly
and impartially exercise the powers
of that office TO bring all trusts, COM
bines andHm 6nopolies to proper re-
spect and regard for our laws. AS
he fearlesslys faithfully and gallant
ly fought the battles for the South
land in its four years struggle in the
war between the states, SO, also, has
he fearlesaly, faithfully and gallant
ly fought for democracy against the
attacks of the enemy, and wherever
and whenever the principles Of our
party have been assailed he has been
found on the firing line.
g. We endorse and fully COM
mend to the democrats of this dis
trict our worthy congressman, the
Hon. Jack Beall, a native product OF
Ellis county in whom we are all
proud and who embodies all the vir-
tues of mind and heart that go tC
make up great statesman, and it is
with just pride that we find him to-
! day in the forefront of the great
statesmen of our country fighting
valiantly for the true principles o.
our party.
T.. We endorse heartily the can
| didacy of our fellowtownsman, the
| Hon. j. M. Alderdice, for the Office o
state superintendent of public in
struction, and commend him to tn,
| democracy of Texas as man 0
sterling worth and high integrit.

! time been teacher in the school
of our state and later a representa-
! tive Of this county in the state legis
lature, serving we'll his constitu
tents, and being fully conversan
with all legislation pertaining to ed
