Barnes Coming Next Tuesday.

The small boys heart leaps with
glee. He has heard that circus is
coming to town. That's the magic
word, and really and truly now,
doesn't that word send chorus of
happy thoughts and memories chas-
ing through your mind? And why
shouldn u it? There's no more time
honored amusement than the circus,
no entertainment more instructive,
none that's cleaner. Who doesn't en-
joy watching the cages and animals
unloaded and hauled to the show
grounds, the hustle and bustle incl
dent to getting things ready for the
show, and the street parade with its
footing bands and steam "pianner,
the dolled up show girls and the
clowns that guy the folks along the
route7 The AL G. Barnes wild ami
NAL circus will be here Tuesday, Au-
gust "a. The Barnes show is well
known to almost every resident in
town and in the surrounding country.
1t exhibited here two years ago and
made good.

M'CoY HAS SPLENDID CROPS.
Henry Domes Gets 1000 Bushels of
Wheat From 100 Acres.

According to Henry W. Domes, in
an interview with The Capital Jour
nal, the farmers in the Mccoy neigh
borhood claim to have the finest crops
in the county. Mr.. Domes has just
finished threshing 100 acres of wheat,
averaging 40 bushels to the acre.
and 40 acres Of oats, with an average
of 73 bushels to the acre. He lives
one-half mile east of Mccoy and had
the foresight to sell his wheat when
the price was 80 cents bushel. Sen
ator c. L. Hawley is another pros
porous Mccoy farmer, his wheat av-
eraging 3S bushels an acre. Fred
Rhode, living one mile north of Nc
Gov, has the banner Oat crop, as he
threshed an average of lis bushels an
acre on 20 acres. Mr.. Rhode is a
progressive farmer. Fifteen years ago
his land produced but little, but by
intelligent fertilizing he is able to
produce a yield of lis bushels of
oats on a 20-acre tract. Frank Ro-
mig. living northeast of Mccoy,
threshed wheat that averaged him 30
bushels an acre, and oats rs bushels.
This neighborhood also has good pros
poets for a crop of clover seed. Many
of the farmers are making substan-
tial additions to their homes and
barns and a general feeling of pros
perity hangs over that section of the
county.

Recall Movement Tagging.

What has become of the recall
movement? Diligent inquiry fails to
get information concerning the un-
dertaking further than the unsatis-
factory statement that something is
likely to pop in the not very distant
future" and this from the promo
ters. The recall was started with the
understanding that the petitions were
to be gum-shoed about temporarily
until public sentiment had manifested
itself in its favor-and then public
ly sprung and carried to a swift and
successful conclusion. But this plan
of action has evidently proven fail
ure, for if the "shoeing" is being
continued it is still of the "gum"
variety.

A committee from the Dallas Grand
Army Post met with the Dallas Com

of acceptance which had been pre-
pared by the committee was read by
the adjutant.
Mr.. Fuller said: "Members of u.

"Over half a century ago, this
beautiful emblem was ruthlessly torn

to be. A million boys in blue buck
led on their swords and barred their
