The Tyler Courier insists that
"•Judge Brooks has gone wild," and
that the people owe it to themselves
to put him on the retired list. His
sense of propriety needs develop-
ment, ani4 nothing is so conducive
thereto as private life.
A tornado swept over Crandall,
Kaufman county, Texas, on the 12th
instant, wrecking fifty frame build-
ings, including the Christian church
and the Shelton hotel. No one wps
killed, but quite a number of people
were more or less injured.
It is announced that the hotels
and boarding houses of San Antonio
refuse to furnish accommodation for
sick people : that persons afflicted
with tuberculasis who hereafter
visit the Alamo City must come pre-
pared to go into a hospital outside
the city litritP.
It is the opinion of the editor of
Grand Saline Sun that Cone John-
ecu would make Texas a g>od gov-
ernor and we shouldn't be surprised
to eee him succeed Governor Camp-
bell in 1910, find Culleu Thomas
would make a good running mate
for attorney general.
The effort to bring out a candi-
date for Governor Against Tom
Campbell appears to be gradually
assuming shape and substance. Col.
Louib J. Wortham, of Fort Worth,
and Col. Gus Shaw, of Red River
county are both being prominently
mentioned as probable apponents.
The Dallas Times Herald adrnoc-
ishes the seven hundred newspaper
