The Fairfield Recorder.
LEE 'KfRUAN, Editor.
Entered in tlie poutolflpe at Fairfield,
Tex., an second class mail matter. ,
FRIDAY, APR. 1, 1904.
Mrs. Judge Prendergast died
at her home in Mexia Sunday.
State Topics is finding out
that the mud it is slinging on
Governor Lanham won’t stick.
The ‘‘Solid South” furnishes
the votes and the “Doubtful
- North” the Democratic nomi-
A bee tree was cut near Mount
Pleasant recently, which con-
tained over-200 pounds of tine
honey. *
The government report last
week said there would be slight
]y over a 10,000,000 |>ale cotton
crop, and the price immediately
advanced.
Sunday’s Dallas News reports
that oil was struck in one of the
wells being bored near Pales-
tine. The well is located eight
miles northeast of Palestine
near the I. & G. N. Ry., track.
The Recorder is in receipt of
the first issue of the Oakwood
Dispatch, by H. E. Lorain. We
wish for Mr. Lorain the success
that doesn’t generally fall to the
lot of the country printer.
Jos. Huey, of Corsicana, died
this week. Huey was said to be
the wealthiest man in Navarro
county—worth in the neighbor-
hood of $1,(XX),000—and began
life as a blacksmith.
A Southern nominee for the
Presidency can be expected in
1908 The sentiment in favor of
a Southern man is growing rap-
idly. .Why should not the South
fum.ih a President? It furnish-
es a majority of the Democratic
votes. The prosperity and de-
velopment of the South will, in
a few years, put us on an equal
footing with the North, both
financially and politically.
The town of Thornton, which
recently sent out an appeal for
aid on acccount of the boll wee-
vil ravages, has been liberally
rewarded with contributions of
money, seed potatoes, cotton
seed, 500 pounds of watermelon
seed, etc. It is said that the de-
plorable condition of nearly 600
people in Limestone county has
been relieved by the generosity
of not only the people * of Texas
but of other States as well. The
good corn and forage crops,
with hogs and other stock to
sell, has done wonders for Free-
stone county.
Taking Desperate Chances.
It is true that many contract
colds and recover from them
without taking any precaution^
or treatment, and a knowledge
of this fact leads others to take
their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention.
It should be borne in mind that
every cold weakens the lungs,
lowers the vitality,. makes the
system less able to withstand
each succeeding cold and paves
the way for more serious dis-
eases. Can you afford to take
such desperate chances when
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
famous for its cure of colds,
can be had for a trifle?

Well, we see the farmers are
going to make cotton in spite of
the boll weevil, that is, they are
doing their part, and that is all
a mule can do. We hear a good
many saying that what they have
caught this year and called the
boll weevil is not the genuine
boll weevil, but if it is not,some
say it-is what ate the cotton in
1903, and they are expected to
do the same for the 1904 crop.
