PRESS DAY At STATE FAIR.

Monday, Oct 10, is Press day at
the twenty-third annual meet OF the
State Fair OF Texas at Dallas. On this
day visiting editors and their fami-
lies will be the guests of the Fair
association. The grounds will be turn
ed over to them, and they will be given
carte blanche to visit all shows on
the grounds and anything else that
they desire. The Fair association does
not consider this as favor, for they
realize the fact that but for the good
will and efforts OF the press in its
behalf II could never have achieved
its present success. In other words,
the management Of the fair feels, and
rightly SO, that all courtesies extend
ed the newspaper makers of the south.

Is but small part OF the compensa-
ton that Is due them.

MOUNTAIN PEAK

Mountain Peak, Texas, Sept. l.
Since our last writing splendid rains
have fallen and the vegetable world
has taken on new life. The cotton
crop, as the writer has noticed it.
promises to be good, but much COM
plant is heard from some of the val
ley farmers that while the weed is
good, the forms and bolls are scarce
and prospects discouraging.
A large congregation was present
at Mountain Peak Sunday to hear
the Primitive Baptist preacher, DR..
J. A. Payne, and several others
preach. DR.. Payne now lives at
Dallas.
Joe Alderdice has just returned
from Grayson county, and reports
crops very bad in that country He
says that for several years the wet
weather prevailing his kept the far
mers from cultivating their crops,
and renters have been moving to
other points and renters are in good
demand. OF course those unfavorable
conditions will leave after awhile.
Mrs. J. T. Daily died Friday morn
ing, after a long and painful illness
and was inferred at Mountain Peak
cemetery Saturday. Funeral service
was conducted by Rev. J. c. Hearn.
The high esteem in which she was
held was attested by the large con-
course of people attending her fu-
neral. She leaves a husband and
three children who will sadly miss
her presence and influence
Capt. ]. P. Bellew and family
while visiting their old home in Ala
bama, were in serious railroad
wreck in which four persons were
killed, but escaped themselves un-
hurt.
Uncle Frank Sargent has just re-
turned from Maury county, Tenn,
where he has been visiting his old
home. He says that the greatest
change he noticed was the absence
of timber which had mostly been
cut away for commercial purposes.
The following couples were out
buggy riding Sunday, taking in
Mammoth Springs: Jas. Goodwin
and Miss Nena Tucker, Lector Hol-
land and Miss Leila Morris, Dell
Odom and Miss Hassie Price, VIII
McWhirter and Miss Lassie Price,
Joe Thompson and Miss Kate Esk-
ridge, B. Parker and Miss Mittie
Bradley of Waxahachie and Mr..
Batten and daughters
Mammoth Springs was settled by
John Singleton in 1S49, when there
was no other settlement west of
him. 1t is the birthplace of j. r..
Singleton, one of Ellis county's lead
ing citizens. 1t is a pleasant place
and favorite resort for young folks
and old as well. The writer has Wis
tied there ever since he has been in
Texas and with regret looks to the
time in the near future when he ex-
poets to leave it, as it calls to mind,
the pleasant shades and good water
of his native hills of old Wayne
county, Tenn. 1t is now the proper
ty of r. X. Erwin of Waxahachie.
The writer forgot to note in his
last letter the new conner at the
home of Prof. NJ. C. Hendricks, a
bouncing boy.

that the state central committee paid
the expenses OF Gov. Warner during
