Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of
the 2 4th Instant, I beg to Bay that
I will be glad to attend and ad-
dress the Confederate soldiers on
August 8th at the Collin County re-
union. I mention the 8th because
in a letter from General T. M. Scott,
of Melissa, he mentions that as
Confederate day, and 1 presume it
will be most satisfactory.
Very truly yours,

A DANGEROUS MISTAKE.
McKinney Mothers Should Not Neg-
lect Kidney Weakness in
Children.
Most children have weak kid-
neys.
The earliest warning is bed-wet-
ting.
Later comes backache, headache,
languor.
'Tls a mistake to neglect those
troubles.
To blame the child for its own dis-
tress.
Seek to cure the kidneys—
Save the child from deadly kid-
ney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys.
McKinney parents recommend
them.
J. E. Hinman, barber, with shop
on the public square, and living at
38 North Coleman street, McKln-
ney, Texas, says: "I have no hes-
itation In recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills which I believe to be a
thoroughly good article. One of
my boys aad been troubled for
some time with weakness of the
kidneys and luadder. The secre-
tions were too frequent and much
disordered. Seeing Doan's Kidney
Pills recommended I got a box at
Smith Bros, drug store. The boy
used them and the treatment regu-
lated the action of the kidneys un-
til he regained a normal condition."

TO STOP PRACTICE OF DUDES.
Ft. Worth Chief Takes Steps' io
Protect Women.
Loafers nnd dudes who lot' >r
nbout hotel fronts and street cor-
ners embarrassing women who pass
by their ogling, will most assuredly
be in a bad way unless they change
their disgusting tactics, so says
Police Chief Maddox of Fort Worth.
The ..ead of the police depart-
ment declares that these loafers
"Johnnies" block the sidewalks In
some places In Main street of after-
noons aud by their staring and side-
remarks make It most disagreeable
for ladles and young girls passing
along. This condition appllee es-
pecially to the territory between
Third and Ninth streets and as far
down as Fifteenth.
"The women and children of Fort
Worth shall be protected from these
curbstone flirts if 1 have to go out
and make arrests myself," asserted
Chief Maddox. "They have been
carrying on this unrefined practice
quite long enough and 1 intend to
end It right now. My men will have
orders within the next day to ar-
rest every man caught loafing not
only on Main street, but all over
town. These summer Idlers who
make It n business to make eyes at
every woman who passes might as
well take to the sun-baked bean
poles, for they've had ti.elr time.
They must go."
for Twenty Years.
Other chill remedies have sprung
up, flourished for a brief senroti,
then passed awav - even iroir. mem-
ory—but for twenty Ioiir jo.ui
Cheatham's Chill Tonic has been in
the field of action. The reason Is
simple. It has merit. It actually
cures chllhs and fevers vrhllo the
majority of others merely promise
to. One bottle guaranteed to cure
any one case.
Modest Claims Often Carry the
Most Conviction.
When Maxim, the famous gun in-
ventor, placed his gun before a com-
mittee of Judges, he stated ita car-
rying power to be much below what
hs felt sure the gun would' accom-
plish. The result of the trial was
therefore a great surprise, lnatead
of disappointment. It Is the same
with the manufacturers of Cham-
berlaln's Colic, Choltera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. They do not pub-
licly boast of all this remedy will
accomplish, but prefer to ltot the
users make the statements. What
they db claim, Is that It will posi-
tively cure diarrhoea, dysentery,
, pains In the stomach and1 bowels
and has never been known to fftll.

(Complete Unofficial Returns Gives
Gives Merritt Two Plurality
—Others Settled.
Official returns from the demo-
cratic primary election have been
received from all but two boxes,
Josephine and Nevada and returns
from the Congressional and County
Judge's races, as well as from sever-
al others, have been received from
these boxes by telephone.
These show that Barrett's major-
ity In the county Is 38S. Randell's
majority In the district is about
700, Mr. Barrett conceding his elec-
tion. A telephone message from
Mr. Randell this afternoon stated
that he would have a majority of
one vote In the convention.
The county judge's race Is the
closest that has ever been witnessed
In Collin county. On the face of the
returns Merritt has a total In the
county of 24 79 and Church a total
of 2477, giving Merritt a majority
of two votes, though the official
canvass of the returns may make
some changes.
IN MEMORIAM.
Tribute of Love to llaltc of Mr. nnd
Mr*. L. H. Fagaia.
Verona, Tex., July 28.—Thurs-
day evening just before the sun
went down, the black minister of
death came into tbe home of Mr.
and Mrs. L. H. Fagaia and carried
into the Great Beyond, their only
son, Augustus, born April 11, 1905,
died July 26, 1906, aged one year
threee months and fifteen days.
For nearly five long weeks this
little body was sick, enduring great
iiMu, and lor uiany days proceeding
his demise, lingered between life
and death, but at last the sllve.'
cord was broken, the fevered brow-
made cool, the aching head ceased
to throb and life was made extinct
by the hand of God, who saw fit to
take this innocent little form home
to himself.
While this little baby was sick
many days and his suffering was in-
tense, he was more patient that
many older people we have seen,
always willing for medical aid to
be administered to him as long as
his strength would permit.
Only a few short months did this
little life brighten the home of its
father and mother. It's time had
come, it's work was done and it's
race, though short, was run. Simply
budded on earth to bloom in Heaven
seemed to be it's mission, yet life
was long enough to erltwlne around
the heart-atrlngs a love that knows
no boundary, and affection that
words would fail to express. Augus-
tus will suffer no more. No more
tears, sighs, pain nor fever for him
that has departed. Only gone
home to live with God and the white
robed angels, who bore him there
on their pinions from this world of
care and strife, rie has escaped all
the temptaatlons of an earthly life,
and taken his abode in the celestial
city of God, who does all things for
the best.
His body was laid to rest In the
Stony Point cemetery Friday even-
ing to await the resurrection of the
Just. Funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. James of Valdasta.

month's vacation on the ranch of
his son near Stacy:
Stacy. Texas, July 25.—The Dem-
ocrat-Gazette. Before I left
home | promised :nauy of my
friends 1 would wrl^y them but have
not complied with niv promises as
I wis sl.:k tor sfc/v.'l day* aft —
leaving home, oui i will do the
next best thing by letting them hear
from me in this way.
I got to Stacy the 19th. This
country is on a boom. Crop pros-
pects were never better, a tremen-
dous Immigration to this country:
good many people here from Collin
county. A few days after 1 got here
my son and his wife drove to the
river to meet some freight wagons
he was expecting from Coleman.
After they left me I got down my
son's old shot gun and went out to
see what 1 could devour, 1 had not
goue far until I found doves by the
hundred feeding around a millet
stack. There were other things
about the millet (stack but as doves
were what I was looking for 1 fail-
ed to see anything else so I open-
ed fire on the birds, the gun kicked
nie over backward und wnen I got
straight and the smoke cleared
away 1 found one little dove and
one of the biggest old red roosters
dead and saw going down through
the broom weeds two big white fac-
ed red calves belonging to my son,
but the time they were mam*""
would have done credit Jl0 an flhuT"

I would throw the old rooster into
the hog pen knowing they would
say nothing about <t but If you
have never been a preacher you do
not know how hard it would be for
a preacher to throw away a chick-
en. so I decided I would dress him
and In the absence of hot water I
decided I would take his hide off
Well, I finally succeeded in dressing
him. I do not know how old he Is
but he must have been here long
before my son came here eleven
years ago. I have .im on boiling
now and must go ufter another
load of wood. I think the calves
are alright; they have not come
back after any more millet yet.
