The democrats of Terrell county

uary 10th, and vote for Hon. Joseph

for commissioner of commerce and
labor.
AS there are no local candidates to
be voted for the candidates for these
state offices will have to furnish their
own tickets, and Governor Brown
and Mr.. Stanley will have to have
tickets printed and distributed in
the 146 counties of the state.

SHOT HIS PISTOL FIVE TIMES
A Guest Who Hadn't Got Over His
christmas" Created COmmOtion
at New Commercial Hotel.

A young man of a neighboring
town who came to Dawson on a
pleasure trip registered at the New
Commercial hotel, and to add to his
diversion cultivated the acquaintance
Of one of the tigers which are re-
puted to infest the city, the result
being that by Saturday night he had
reached such a high state Of enjoy
ment he couldn't resist letting it be
known by discharging a revolver four
or five times in his room.
The hotel proprietor and the other
guests could not enter into the spirit
of the young mans fun-in fact,
they really objected to such pastime
and a policeman was called and
the jovial guest transferred to the
Hotel Billhiers, which makes a spe-
cialty of catering to those fun-loving
persons who do not care to be cir
cumscribed by conventiOnalities.
He remained registered there I'M
til Monday morning, when he paid
his bill of S11.00, and departed from
the city.

Governor Station Has Designated the
Bank of Dawson as Depository
For State Funds.

Governor Jack SlatOn has settled
a spirited local fight for appointment
as state depository by designating
as such for the next four years the
B2Dk Of Dawson.
The action of the governor is quite
o compliment to that bank, which
opened only few months ago and
numbers among its stockholders and
officers some of the leading and most
successful business and professional
men and farmers of Dawson and
Terrell county.
Though young the Bank of Daw-
son has already become factor in
the commercial life of this section,
and is steadily growing.

TWO NEGRO KILLINGS OCCUR
In both instances Women Were the
Cause of the Tragedies. No
InQuests Were Held.


Friday night, on the farm of Mr..
j. G. Rogers, south of Dawson, Felix
Williams shot and killed another ne
gro by the name of Jim Miller. The
cause of the tragedy was jealousy.
The two negroes were in love with
the same girl, and she married Mil
Ter. A warrant was sworn out for
Williams, but he has not been ar
rested.
Saturday night in the public road
several miles south of Herod Aleck
Harris was shot and killed, and war
rants charging them with murder
were taken for Sol Timmons, Silas
Bostwick and Boss Lester.
1t seems that at a frolic that night
on the Moran place Timmons began
beating his wife, from whom he had
been separated some time, when Har-
ris interfered, gave him hOgging
and took the woman and started
home with her. Timmons borrowed
a pistol, and, in company with the
other negroes started in pursuit 0f
the couple, and overtaking them in
the road shot and killed Harris.
Bostwick and Lester have been ar
rested and are in jail, but Timmons
Guided the officers and is still at
large.

of the young fowl that the blue rib

prize winning cockerel, took his au-

and, with admiration, daily watched
him grow and gradually develop into
as fine and handsome a hen as ever
laid an egg and cackled a cackle.
And thus is told the story of the

ASToR'S WIDOW.

When man with one hundred and nifty millions in cash and property wills t" his wife the small sum of five million, with strings attached to 1t like the late Colonel John Jacob As- Tor. he cannot hold his helpmatc in very high esteem
 The law generally allows the widow something like thirty three and one third per cent. This would not be so bad if he did not bind the same all around with 'woolen strings" that is .'dded proviso if she remarries the said amount to go to the son. who tails heir 10 over one hundred and thirty millions as it is.
 The last will and testament of the late John Jacob Astor will have a tendency Co lower his memory in the estimation of the public. Many be- iicve that the third allowed the widow by law is little enough, and the nus band should never go below it in pro- vidng for the helpmate who took him for better or for worse. and in the majority of cases We are inclined to believe the woman gets the worst of the bargain.
 We believe that the young mother to-be. is entitled to at least the five millions without any strings whatso- ever attached to them and if the young stepson or administrators of the es- tate are not willing to grant her that amount free. she should fight the will and get what rightfully belongs to her

ON "Push."

Push" is the progress Of getting ahead. If necessary. over the feet and faces of the crowd in front
 This country is the home of push" Owing to the constant endeavor of the rear rank to become leaders. a man does not sit down contented in a good job in the United States for two reasons. First. because he hopes to push the fellow ahead of him out of his place. and. second. because the fellow behind him is pushing on him day and night.
 Push" consists of getting down to
