JOHNSON IN
JOHNSON CO.
TYLER MAiN GIVEN MOST EN-
THUSIASTIC RECEPTION AT
GRANDVIEW.
50 CLEBURNE CITIZENS
and In numberous stores the photo-
graphs of Johnson and Polndexter
occupied places side by side.
An Interesting feature af the ikiy
was prlvided when a mute admirer of
Johnson called on him at the hotel.
He could not talk but pointed with
pride to tho badge which he wore,
reading "For Johnson."
One of the largest reception com-
mittees that, has greeted the candi-
date at any place was on hand to wel-
come him here.
Go to Grandvlew to Listen to Ad-
dress of East Texas' Candidate
For Governor.
Grandvlew, Tex., June 20.—Twelve
hundred citizens of Johnson county
heard Cone Johnson here Saturday
afternoon deliver a vigorous address
on the prohibition phase or the race
for governor. He was given tho very
best of attention throughout and in-
tense enthusiasm greeted mar. y of
his declarations.
Respecting the f;-.et that he was in
Judge Polnilexter's home cou'nty, the
Tyler man was guarded in his person-
al references to his ehief rival for
the prohibition 'vote, tout he exercised
the full license of the political forum
in the disparagement of the platform
on which Polndexter stands, and tho
big audience cheered vociferously
when he did so. * * * ♦ •
Mr. Johnson's arguments in behalf
of statutory prohibition differed in
no respect from those he has made
elsewhere.
'Pwo introductions of the candidate
formed features of the address here
Saturday. Rev. D. I. Smythe, pastor
o fthe Baptist church, who made the
flr&t presentation speech, said that
he would not vote for his brother
If that brother were an anti, admitted
that both Polndexter and Johnson
wore clean men, but said it was not
the (business of any aspirant for of-
fice to endtavor to reach that office
through the faults and demerits of
his opponent. He said that Mr. John-
son was a clean man, a brave man
and a brainy man, the three most es-
sential requisites of a governor.
H. P. Brown of Cleburne, grand
chancellor of the Knights of Pythias,
made a few remarks in this connec-
tion saying that he was not yet com-
mitted in this race .having a strong
leaning for independence in tho demo-
cratic party, with some populistic
tendencies and republican variations.
He declared that he had a strong
leaning for Mr. Johnson, and said
that he was so new a convert himself
that he would not cast any stones at
the Tyler man for this offense.
About fifty citizens of Cleburne
•weire here to bear the address, tho
delegation being about equally divid-
ed between th supporters of Johnson
and Judge Polndexter. All of the
Johnson contingent from Cleburne, as
well as practically every supporter of
bis here, was an anti-Bailey man,
this place being the strongest anti-
Bailey box in Johnson county. John-
son badges were In sight everywhere
LAST EVENING
(From Monday's Daily.)
Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'-
clock, Bush Johnson, a negro man,
was seriously stubbed in the back by
another negro named lxiuis King.
The trouble occurred at a negro
house on the branch, just north of
Jjudge Beard's house, at the tjorner
of North Boren avenue.
It seems that Johnson was stand-
ing in a room #t this house when
King, who had just como to thoi city,
went into the house and walking in,
stabbed Johnson without uttering a
word. Immediately after the stab-
bing King ran, and tip to noon today
he not been apprehended by the
officers. No trace of him can be had,
in fact.
Johnson has an ugly stab in the
lower part of the back. It is not
thought the wou^d will prove fatal.
Johnson does not know why he was
assaulted by King.

Have a nice Chocolate Cake
(From Monday's Daily.)
Trivial ly a thousand people attorti-
ed the regular Sunday night union
services last night. The music was
fine, being under the leadership of
Prof. Oman. After u prayer by Judge
Butler, a yhorf tes Union y meeting
was conducted by Dr. McLean. There
were a number of responses.
Bro. McLean read the scripture
lesson, when A P. Moore lead in an-
other prayer. Reports from several
prayer meetings were heard. There
was another song, after which Mr.
Mclean took his text from Isaiah
3:11, "Woe unto tlicir soul, for they
have rewarded evil unte themselves."
The sermon was delivered with
much earnestness and power.
The speaker said in part.: Do the
wicked seem to prosper? For
awhile they do, but if you will watch
them, you will see that evil finally
overtakes them. They are soon cut
off. We ought not to be envious of
the wicked when we see their pros-
perity. God doesn't cut a man down
for one, little sin. It doesn't pay to
be wicked at any time, for the end is
always in death. Be sure your sins,
will find you out.
Sin always loaves its mark. Haven't
you noticed the mark of sin on the
drunkard, the immoral man or the
thief? If sin marks the personal ap-
pearance of a man, who about the
soul?
The time comes when you must go.
Oh, tell me, will it be well with your
soul, when you die? We have got to
give an account for titie deeds done in
the body throughout all eternity.
Man or woman, what are you going
to do about it tonight? Won't you
give God your heart tonight?

mother of five clilldien, at her homo

(From Monday's Daily.)

Rev. Yates taught ttie lesson, of th©
seven ixirables that Jesus gave us,
said the teacher, pomdbly the great-
est of these is the parable of tho sow*
or, more properly called the, imrablei
of the soils, for it was the soils that
fs most dwelt on. The seed and tho
sower wore tho suunio but the toll
clung *!. Jesus !s the sower. Iltsi

The people aro divided into the fol-
lowing classes: Tho hardened man,
Che rock, who rejects the word; tho
(man In whom the word flourishes a
short time aiwl dios, tho tlifn soli
¡t*ver rook; the man who will not des-
troy nil outward conditions, associa-
tions, etc., which will crowd out uli
' cood, the good soil filled with weeds
'and other grovth; and last tho good

who receives the word and severs all
connections w.th all that detract.
I Rev. Yates is one of the best lect-
urers In the state and his rendition

Raise Cowpea Hay for the Milk Cows.
It is my firm conviction that it
would be oheaper to pay $25 a ton for
cowpea hay than to pay $G iter ton
for cottonseed hulls for milk produc-
tion. When the farmer has cowpea
hay ,the best way to supplement this
wnild be to feed a ration consisting
of one-third cottonseed meal, one-
third corn meal and one-third wheat
brtn, feeding this grain in the pro-
portion of one pound of grain to
fcbout four or five pounds of milk.
In case *he roughage consists of crrn
stover, corn fodder of other poorer
classes of roughage grain should be
fed at the rate of about one pound
to three pounds of milk.—John
