Mistake in the Pate.
Chairman Littleton of the ooun-
ty republican executive commit-
tee in issuing the call for the re-
publican county convention had
the date for the convention one
week too early; the following rec-
tifies the error:
To the republican preoinct chair-
men of Parker county:
In sending out to you notifica-
tion, on June 16,- as to the time
for holding county conventions,
an efror whs made. It stated the
county convention should be held
on the 9th day of July, 1004. The
: following is s true order for the
holding of conventions: “All pre
oinct conventions must be held
on July Oth. (Sec. 06, Terrell
Election law.) All county con-
ventions must be held July 16.
Sec. 96, Terrell Eleotkm Lew.)
You will therefore hold your
conventions in sboordenoe here-
with, and ypu are hereby notified
toll; our county convention wilt
be held in the city of Weather-
ford, on July 16, at 10 o’clock a.
m., at the oourt house.
The purposes for whioh the
county convention is called are
the same as stated in my other
notioe, end the basis of represen
tation will be the same. Please
comply strictly with the forego
mg law. .
C. C. Littleton,
Chairman.

MUCH SPEAKING.

OE BAILEY’S PROMMERCE.
The democratic national con-
vention convened in 8t. Louie
yesterday morning. All contests
had been settled by the commit-
and toe convention opened
with a clear field for business,
John Sharp Williams, of Mis-
sissippi, was ohosen as tempora-
ry chairman, and C. A. Walsh
temporary secretary. Mr. Wil-
iams then addressed the conven-
tion, outlining a platform.
The mention of Cleveland’s
name elioited great enthusiasm,
showing the great ohange in the
oomplexion of the delegations
torn four and eight years ago.
8enator Joe Bailey is being
urged for permanent chairman
of the convention, and he seems
be toe only man thus far men
tioned who is aooeptable to all
actions. He was also booked to
represent the Texas delegation
oh the'platform oommittee.
The reorganizers seem to have
captured everything in sight,
evsn to the sentiment of erstwhile
rampant sixteen to oners, many
of them Simply throwing up the
sponge and surrendering all to
an insatiate desire for a glimpse
at the pie oounter.
The Associated Press dispatch-
es say Parker will be nominated.

Big Corn.
John G. Gilbert, one of the lead-
ing farmers of West Side, was
exhibiting an ear of new corn
this week raised on his plaoe on
the river which is as fine a spec-
imen of corn as is often seen in
this country.
It is of the White Hiokory va-
riety, and was from a field plant-
ed very early. The ear ie four-
teen and one-half inohes in
length, and has fourteen rows of
broad, pearly white grains, every
one of which is well filled out and
heavy. <
The aniversary of the birth of
American independence was cel-
ebrated here Monday by voters
from town and country congre-
gating at the court house and
listening to candidates’ speeches
and band music during the entire
day, almost.
The crowd in town was large,
but about the only business much
done was by the cold drink es-
tablishments, who thrived. How-
ever, all the business houses re-
mained open during the entire
day.
The precinct candidates, the
county candidates, the district
candidates—most all the candi-
dates made talks at one time or
another during the day, but the
greatest Interest was centered in
the argument between Congress-
man Gillespie and Judge Poin-
dexter, candidate for congress.
These two gentlemen spoke in
the afternoon, and a large crowd
was present to hear them. The
remarks made by each contained
considerable of the acrimonious.
No aocidents happened during
the day.

The reception given the U. S.
Grant Post, No. 46, G. A. R. by
Comrade F. J. Penland in honor
of the Glorious Fourth was a
brilliant suooess, judging from
the spirit of good will and general
enjoyment manifested by the Old
Veterans, who had the pleasure
of being present. The only
feature to mar the festivities
was the vacant chairs of our
late departed comrades.
The decorations were superb,
while Old Glory flaunted proudly
from the tall staff while the strong
south winds sent its. protecting
folds over the residence to which
it was attached. A 6x10 doth
sign facing the gate with “Wei
come Comrades, U. S. Grant
Post, No. 46, G. A. R.*’ was a
oonspioious setting in red, white
and blue. At the refreshment
stand m the center of trees to the
left of the lawn, a large cloth
banner announced the fact that
“July 4th, the day we oelebrate,
was at last to be verified, the re-
freshments were plentiful and
delicious and dispensed with a
lavish hand by our host and
oomrade, while the musical
selections kindly furnished for
the occasion by Master O. K.
Hearte was the feature of the
oocasion, and highly appreciated
by all present, not forgetting the
swing and merry-go-round which
also contributed largely to the
enjoyment of the oocasion.
Several views of the grounds
and of those present were photo-
graphed by artist Randall, and
some fine views were'obtained.
After the departure of toe old
veterans about 6:90 p. * m. the
grounds were turned over to the
young folks, when the merry-go-
round and swing were profusely
hung with Japanese lanterns
which (after night had drawn her
sable mantle around her) pre
seated a beautiful spectacle as far
as the eye could see; and with
the sound of sweet music from
Columbian records, toe whirl
folks told us that dull care was
dethroned by mirth for toe while
who held undisputed sway, till
with the flioking of the oandlee
in the bright hued lanterns as
they dropped out one by one—
announcing the approaoh of ad-
journment, and with the final
leave taking of the young folks,
Father Time recorded another
glorious 4th, when youth and old
age had combined to make a day
long to be remembered. *
