STILL WAITING FOR THE TRAIN
Citizens Who Bought Lots Texas Were Going spe
ciaI Car to See Their Property haven't Yet

One afternoon several weeks ago
a couple of neatly dressed young
men with a fluent flow of language
stTolled down Main street to the in
tersection of Lee, and there mounted
dry goods box and began pleading
with the crowd that soon assembled
to accept free Of charge a certain
number of lots in a thriving Texas
town, and as a further inducement
to be permitted to present them with
this valuable real estate they agreed
to take all who would accept lots
out to Texas on a special train to see
their property and bring them back
free of charge. All that was asked
was the small sum of $3.50 each to
pay for an abstract of title and so
cents for recording the deed.
A number of we'll known citizens
passed up the $500 and retired with
the nice young men to a quiet room
where they could write out the alb
stracts and deeds carefully and cor
rectly. There they received these
documents, and began waiting for
the special car that was to take them
to Texas and bring them home again
And they are still waiting. The
train, which was to have left on the
trip not later than January 18th,
has not only not footed in this vicin-
lty but the owners of the Texas
real estate have not even received
a word explaining the delay and let
ting them know when to make their
preparations for another start
Their deeds call for town lots
o0Xl6O feet in Vergie, Montgomery
county, Texas, and if any one here
wants to try his fortune out west he
might be able to get a real bargain
from some of our local Texas land
owners.

COURT IN MERCYIM IMPOSED SENTENCE OF SO YEARS
Ten Cents Worth of Fried Mulet Caused Death of One
Negro and Brought Another Near the Gallows

All day Monday was consumed by
the trial in the superior court of
Mack Lee on the charge of murder
The defendant shot and killed Cy
Blocker, another negro, in Dawson
one Saturday afternoon several
months ago.
The jury about night returned a
verdict of guilty with a recommended
ton to mercy, and Judge Worrill
sentenced the prisoner to SO years
in the penitentiary. The court told
Lee that from the evidence in the
trial he had been very fortunate in
securing the verdict that was re-
turned in his case.
Lee ran a restaurant on the
Pike" and ten cents worth of null
let on which Blocker was banquet
ing was the cause of the tragedy.
After serving the fish Lee wanted
pay for it before Blocker finished
eating, and upon the refusal of the
latter to hand out the dime the for
mer got his pistol and pumped a
leaden pellet into his customer to
hurry up payment. Blocker died al
most instantly.

IoII, the 73d birthday anniversary of
Hon. John Hay was observed, under
the auspices of the LinColn-Douglass
Emancipation and Memorial Associa-

the life and character of Mr. Hay,
declaring him TO be the greatest dip
lomat this country had produced, an
ideal American citizen, a humanita-
rian who had learned from association
and counseled with Abraham Lincoln,
one whom the gallant President Nc
Kinley called to represent this country
as his first Ambassador to Great Brit
ain, and later placed him at the head
of his Cabinet and Secretary of State,
made the greatest and most brilliant
history for his country, remaining the
premier of the United States under
President Roosevelt, until he joined
in that great beyond where Lin
coin, Grant, Mckinley and Hanna had
preceded him. He concluded by say
ing he was gratified that the birthday
anniversary of Col. Hay was observed
in this city, where followed the name
Ellsworth, whom Mr.. Hay and Mr..
Lincoln had great hopes for his tu-
ture. Let us not forget the true
friends of our race and truly Colonel
Hay was one.
