Tracy, they were hunting big fish.

either Swann or Thomas is more
than a match for any of that
crowd. Bailey made a great
speech there and of course they
wanted to break the force of it by
challenging him to debate after
he was exhausted. But they can-
not make anybo iy believe that
Bailey is afraid. He met their high
priest and he is not afraid of the
little fellows—not even Lamb.
THE STATE AND THE RAIL-
ROA DS.
The troubles of our railroad
commission will have an impor
taut bearing 011 that sentiment in
the state which demauds s ate
ownership of the roads.
From the experience of the
commission so far, we fail to see
how state ownership could better
matters. Here is a commission
composed of as good men as can
be found anywhere. Men who
bave always been on the side of
the jieople, headed by a man of
great reputation and experience
in'governmental affairs and a man
whose honefty could not be called
in question by his worst enemy.
This commission baa almost un-
limited power. Yet they are go-
ing very slow and are almost
the same reason.
We do not believe that John
Sherman can fool the people auy
longer.

Some Facts About Cooke
County.
It was created in 1848 out of
Fannin county, and was named in
honor of William G. Cooke.
It is almost exclusively a farm-
ing country, but is well situated
for stock raising.
The soil of the county is about
equally divided, black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water.
Red River borders the county
for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
The assessed value of property
in 1890 was $7,100,659.
Improved lands sell from *10 to
$40 an acre.
Unimproved lands from $5 to
$15 per acre.
In 1889 the number of marriages
was 373 aud the number of di-
vorces 28.
There are 86 public schools in
the county and in 1890 there were
4099 children of scholastic age,
and 87 teachers employed. Aver-
age wages paid to male teachers
$42.50 per month; female teachers
$38.85.
This does not include the city
of Gainesville, which has charge of
her own public schools.
The state paid last year $16,396
on tuition besides what came
from the county fund and from
district taxes.
In 1890 there were 151 mort-
gages recorded, amounting to
f348,975.
There were in 1890 1857 farms
in the county.
There were in 1890 13,586
horses.
There were in 1890 39,240 cat-
tle.
There were in 1890 14,699 hogs.
In 1890 there were 36,091 acres
in cotton.
In 1890 there were 40,686 acres
in corn.
In 1890 there were 21,308 acres
in wheat.
In 1890 there were 608 acres in
sweet potatoes.
In 1890 there were 4062 acres in
millet.
In 1891 this acreage is largely
increased, and the finest crops
ever grown were raised.
The fruit crop is very large and
is increasing each year.
Cooke county is well adapted
to raising peaches, apples and all
small fruits.
The people of the county are
comparatively free from debt and
are in a thriving condition com-
pared with the population of
most agricultural counties.
Two railroads run through the
center of the county. The M. K.
& T. runs through from east to
west and the Santa Fe from north
to south, giving commuuication
with all the great cities of the
country.
