Thursday's Dally.
Yesterdny afternoon between 1
and 5 o'( lo k a heavy black cloud
came tip from the nortnwest and in
a few moments and with a gr;uit
dash, a severe rain, wind and hall
storm swept down upon M Klnn<j>
and surrounding territory extending
a few miles out. The storm last".]
for about an hour, during which
time Hoods of water fell, and the
ground was almost covered with
hail, some of the stones being as
large as guinea eggs. In the city
a number of trees were broken
down and some window lights
smashed. The large street electric
I'ght near the Second Baptist church
was blown down, the metal arm be-
ing broken. The telephone lines
extending into the country were
damaged to some extent. During
the storm lightning struck a large
barn on the Greece Graves farm, a
mile and a half northwest of town,
now owned by Goodney Graves,
setting it on Are and It was burned
to the ground, together with ten or
fifteen tons of hay. and some farm
machinery. Some of the machinery
was saved. The barn was valued at
$500, the total loss being about
f800, with $1100 Insurance. Grow-
ing crops were severely damaged in
that vicinity, by the hall which was
much heavier there than in McKin-
ney. All of the leaves were stripped
off the cotton, only the stems being
left, and a great deal of corn was
blown down and broken off tit the
ground. Reports from Lowery
Crossing are to the effect that very
little rain fell there, and none at
Allen. As far north as Anna crops
were damaged. Considerable fruit
was beaten and blown off the trees.

The last legislature has been
quite freely criticised in some quar-

tative T. O. Murray of this county

ed Of it In this direction by those in

Hon. T. O. Murray. McKinney, Tex
as: Dear Sir:—Replying to your
favor in regard to the need of more
asylum room, 1 beg to say that in
my opinion practically all the in-
sane except colored males, for
whom no provision was made by the
last legislature, will be accommo-
dated when additions now under
construction here are completed. It
was estimated by those interested
in last legislature that room for
500 additional patients would re-
lieve the demand for rhe care of
the insane; upon that basis an ap-
propriation for this hospital was
made. Three buildings were pro-
jected: two for white males, one for
colored females and the negro wo-
men now In the main building to be
taken out and these quarters over-
hauled to accommodate 125 white
women. One building for while
men is finished and is practically
filled, accommodating 100. An-
other building for white men will
be finished this month with capacity
for 200. Last of July the third
building will be completed nccam-
modating 200 colored women and
as stated, when they are removed
from present, quarters and the place
overhauled. It will ar commodate
125 white women; the bitter wlU be
received in August. I now have on
file applications for K5 white men.
110 white women, 100 coi ned wo-
men and 4 0 colored men. Very
truly. JNO. S. Tl'RNFR.

Collin County Omdltions.
Saturday's Dally.
A. W. McDonald of Wylle, who
was In Dallas yesterday, states that
field laborers In Collin County are
commanding higher wages than for
years and are difficult to get at thnt.
Me says that the farmers are mak-
ing desperate efforts to get in their
grain and hay before it is spoiled.
"The time is fast coming," he de-
clared, "when the farmer will not
try to handle more ground than he
can take care of himself. He will
diversify even moro than at present,
raising less cotton and more grain
and fruit. Labor-saving tools cer-
tainly aid him very much now, but
while he can plant and cultivate 100
or more acres of cotton by himself,
he cannot chop or pick it and the
cost of hiring this done at present
wages paid consumes all the profit.
There Is no life like the farmer's.
In my opinion. It requires hard
work to gain success, but is has It*
pleasures and Is generally a guaran-
tee of heulth and strength, besides
giving a freedom which fa found In
few other walks of life."—Dallas

friends of the contracting parties
were present. The bride is one of
Lincoln county's finest young wo-
men. She is a daughter of the late
James B. Md\inney and is both
handsome and popular. Ii can be
truly said of her that to know her is
to love her and the young man who
has won her is indeed deserving of
congratulation. Mr. Adams Is a line
business man, of exemplary habits
and a gentleman In all the word Im-
plies. Mr. and Mrs. Adams will be
at home at Hustonvllle after June

their many friends will ever be with
them.—The Interior (Ky.) Journal,

ams has an extensive acquaintance
all over the county, he having

and very popular In McKinney. He
is a brother of Greenberry Adams,
city editor of the Daily Courier, und
of Rufus N. Adams, manager of

ventilated hall with a seating ca-
pacity of one thousand. A pulpit
and a lurge platform for the choir

The evangelist-pastor, Dr. Gross,
is a native of Georgia, was early
admitted to the bar and success*
j fully practiced law for a few years,
but feeling called to the ministry he
' began preaching and In two months
the Lord added to the churches
where he preached more than two
hundred members. He was soon
called to Washington, Ga., later to
Selma, Ala., and six months since
he came to the First Baptist, church
of Houston. In all his pastorates
he has been greatly blessed. The
Lord added large numbers to the
| churches, and In connection with
his pastoral duties he has held many
revival meetings In which the
1 churches have been revived and in
j which large numbers have been con-
j verted and added to the churcues.
Dr. Gross preaches "the gospel of
hope and happiness" and is so
1 bright and sunny by nature in his
1 life and labor of love that he has
1 ben called "The Apostle of Sun-
shine." Having been a business
man he is in close touch with bus-
iness men and Is a favorite with the
secular press, of which he modestly
says, "The newspapers have been
entirely too partial to me." ,e
