It'was said by some one that in the
merry month of May the young mans
thoughts lightly turned towel that
is not it-but we have noticed that
men who are no longer young are eff
fected the same way. The little city
of Poyner few Sundays ago had
three marriages in one day. Some of
the parties were of mature years, and
suppose thought they knew what
they were doing. On the same day
Mr.. Ed Richardson was married to
Miss frankie Henderson, youngest
daughter of Mr. Henry Henderson We
wish for all these couples all antici-
pated joy
The crop of candidates, if to be
Judged by the number of men swing
ing around the circle, will be a very
large one Some very good men are
running, too. Well, little competi-
ton makes things very pleasant while
the canvass is on.

md contents on the night of May 81,

W. Fl. CASTOR while in Palestine last
week. He is one of the few remain
ng members of Hoods famous bri
sade. Soon the last of them will
lave answered here" to the last roll
all, but they will live in history as
ong as the English language shall be
spoken. Capt CASTOR left this county
nearly forty years ago, since which
ime he has made Dallas his home.
But few of his old associates are now t
living here, but their descendants are
lere to bring the memory of other {
nd brighter days around us. Id
We hope that the good roads propo- q
ition will not be permitted to die
atural death, but that out of the null
itude of suggestions and councils that
omething that is material will sug-
est itself to the earnest considera-
ion of our lawmakers.
