IDE PELIZER FARM NEAR WINONA
W. L. Evans, a citizen of Dallas, In
commenting on an article which re-
oently appeared In the Dallas News,
concerning the Peltzer farm near Wi-
nona, says:
"Under the heading, 'Bast Texas
Belt as Fruit Center,' today's News
contains a great deal of Information
from Its correspondent regarding the
success of those who have given their
attention to frlut and truck growing In
Bast Texas, all of which recalls to me
my visit of two weeks ago to the fruit
and truck farm of Herman Peltzer,
near Winona, Smith county.
"Mr. Peltzer came from Missouri to
Texas six years ago, and purchased
more than 3,000 acres of land in poor
old East Texas. This tract of land in-
cluded a farm which had been in cul-
tivation fifty-seven years, and the old
country mansion, with its Corinthian
columns is now occupied by Mr. Pelt-
ier, not by his family, for he is a bach-
( elor (a good chance for some young
' lady).
"As a reward for his Investment and
labor, Mr. now has 26,000 bearing
peach trees of the Elberta and Mam-
ie Kohs varitles. Receipts for peach-
es he shipped last summer were $16,•
000. He also keeps a large stock ot
Poland China hogs, which he fattens
In the summer on waste from his or-
chard. In place of growing cotton and
corn, Mr. Peltzer has found it more
profitable to grow cow peas and goo-
bers for his hogs and purchase what
corn he needs for his horses. He
keeps a thrasher and thrashes his peas
The value of his pea crop this year
was $3,000. He sold only $1,000 worth
however, and was feeding the remain-
der to his 400 porkers, which he ex-
pects to market by January, 1911, and
which he says will make each of the
400 weigh 350 pounds.
This Is going some for poor old East
Texas. W. L. EVANS.
TREASURER'S BOND
IS THE HEAVIEST
For the public's Information we give
herewith the official bonds of the dif-
ferent county officers. The amount
of some of these bonds is fixed by
statute; others by the commissioners'
coui.:
District clerk's bond $ 5,000
County clerk's bond 6,000
County Judge's bond 3,000
County attorney's bond 2,50 ó
Sheriff's bond 12,000
Tax assessor's bond 14,000
Tax collector's bond 107,600
Treasurer's bond I 130,000
Supt. public instruction's bond 5,000
County surveyor's bond 1,000
The bond of each justice of the
peace 1s fixed at $1,000 as Justice of
the peace and $1,000 as notary public.
The bonds of the new officers have
all been- approved and will be recorded
,, In a short time. One of the notable
^feature* of the new bonds is the ab-
sence of the names of all the banks
and bankers from the bond of the
county treasurer. It has been a long
time since this occurred before, if, in
fact, it ever did happen before, which
Is not certain.
Complaint About Flying Switches.
There has been several complaints
recently come to the view of the Cou-
rier-Times man about the habit of the
railroads in making flying switches.
This Is something that Is strictly
against the law, both for the railroad

FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED ON
THE I. & G. N. LAST NIGHT
There was a wreck on the main line
of the I. and O. N. last night about G
o'clock between Troup and Palestine,
at Mud Creek, in which several freight
cars went into a ditch.
A local southbound freight, No. 31,
went through the first span of the
bridge across the creek. Eight cars
of freight went down. One car con-
tained horses, and was turned com-
pletely over. Strange as It may seem,
rone of the animals were Injured.
One car of beer was completely de-
stroyed, while a car of matches be-
came ignited and was consumed, to-
gether with two other cars of mer-
chandise. No one was hurt.
The wrecker was called from Pal-
estine, and It is thought the track will
be cleared for passage this afternoon.
In the meantime trains from the
branch and main line are being de-
toured via Tyler down the Short Line
to Jacksonville. These trains were de-
layed only a short timo In being turn-
ed at Tyler, as the entire trains are
taken around the loop at the new
Cotton Belt shops, much time being
saved over the old way of turning on
the electric turntable.
The loss to the company will be
several thousand dollars ,and It is In-
deed remarkable that not a single
person sustained an Injury.
LONGVIEW HAS A DISASTROUS FIRE
Sparrows Arrived Yesterday
I mean the famous SPARROWS line of absolutely pure high
grade candies. You should give the children more can-
dies provided they are pure. It is good for them—it is
good for the grown-up's, in fact the purest best can-
dies are good for anyone. My Stock of Spar-
rows Gandles consists of all kinds of fancy
boxes ranging in price from 25c to $2.50 each,
and in bulk 40c per pound. DON'T FAIL TO
SEE THIS LINE BEFORE PLACING
YOUR CHRISTMAS ORDERS

Pure Food Groceries
Longvlew, Texas, Dec. 8.—The most
sensaitonal fire ever witnessed at this
place occurred at 7:05 last night.
The fir* broke out In Campbell &
Campbell's la woffice, which occupied
the whole north side, and soon cross-
ed the hallway to the long-distance
telephone office, and then the to front
of the local phone office, cutting off
both places.
The six girl operators had very nar-
row nnd thrilling escapes. Miss Min-
nie Fredrick and Miss Emma Person
of the local exchange and Miss Mat-
tie Tutt, Miss Pearl King and MIsh
Fanny Walker of the long dlstanco
were taken from tho front awning
and down the big office polo by fire-
men and citizens.
Miss Sallle Burton, manager of th<s
long distance, after running forward
to the local office, returned for a new
drus* pattern she had Just received,
and was cut off from returning. She
climbed out of a window and was ros-
cued by a ladder in a fainting con-
dition. Miss Pearson was also nearly
ovnrcome and was with difficulty re.
vlved.
Jesse Rogers, a fireman, was hurt
by burns and a fall from a wing. The
law office of Campbell & Campbell is
completely lost. The Alaczar picture
show beneath was badly damaged by
fire and water. The long distance ex-
change Is almost a total loss, and will
not be able to operate until newly In-
stalled.
The local telephone exchange Is
badly damaged and no telephones are
working. The stock of dry goods
owned by I. O. Oans & Co. is water
and smoke damaged badly. The build-
ing belonged to Governor T. M. Camp-
bell and J. T. Smith, all Insured.

Otcccption is Well Attended.
That was a nice and Informal affair
at Marvin church last night tho recep-

ris and their wives. These good peo-
ple have often felt and said that Ty-
ler people have heapod klndenoss af-
ter kindness upon them until they lack
words to express their appreciation
and gratitude. Coffee and cake was
served by th« ladies of. ,the church
and all felt that the hour of ad-
