What OwBaari af Trade is Daiat-
The Denison Board of Trade
ms elected officers as follows:    J.
P. Haven, president; W. 8. Hib-
bard, and A. L. Jones, vice-presi-
dents; T. W. Larkin, secretary;
W. G. Meginnis, treasurer.
The work of the Denison Board
of Trade lias attracted wide-spread
attention and has furnished some
very interesting and effective ino-
vations in commercial club work,
and these ideas have been adopted
and employed with splendid suc-
cess by other enterprising towns.
The Denison Board of Trade has
undertaken a work for agricultu-
ral advancement that covers a re-
markable scope. Numerous tlein-
stration and experimental pro-
ject? covering a variety of crops
are carried with the co-operation
of the state and federal govern-
ments. Agricultural institute
meetings are held in the city and
out in the country as Well, the
people lieing assembled in the even
ings at their community school-
houses to hear competent author
ities discuss modern agricultural
methods. The meetings are usu-
ally well attended and much inter
est manifested. The idea of the
government demonstration farm
recently located near Denison was
conceived in the course of the
work of the Board of Trade to de-
velojie the dairy industry. This
farm, which is not yet in complete
working order, is attracting the
attention throughout the country
and promises great good to the en-
tire southwest since the purpose of
the plant is to demonstrate the
practicability and profit of dairy
farming in the great southwest.
The Denison Board of Trade
also originated a co-operative road
improvement plan by which the
people of the town and country
united and assisted the country
authorities in the substantial liet-
terment of roads within Denison’s
trade territory. This idea has not
only fieen a great benefit to Deni-
foundation of all industrial and
commercial growth.
Last year the Denison Board of
Trade inaugurated a movement
for the improvement of rual schools
in the vicinity of Denison, urging
that the conditions surrounding
the average country school were
not consistent with the thrift and
enterprise of the good people and
that the lack of more pleasing en-
vironments could hut have a de-
pressing effect upon the pupils.
The eountry schools were visited,
file suggestion was well received
and several sehools were substan-
tially improved and others have
formulated plans of improvement.
The teachers of the country were
enlisted and rendered valuable aid
in the movement, which has now
become state wide. The leading
educators of the state have enlist-
ed in the movement for 1 letter rual
schools and a campaign is lieing
vigorously conducted in the inter-
est of a proposed amendment to
the Constitution which will enable
people in the country districts to
better provide for the education of
the young.
The Denison Board of Trade co-
operating with the Civic Improve-
ment League has done much for
the improvement of civic condi-
tions. Thousands of packets of
flower seeds, shrubs and
shade trees have l>een distributed
through the public schools and
these have been planted upon the
school grounds, along the streets
and in the home yards of the city,
which has been greatly improved
in appearance during the past two
years. Denison’s annual flower
shows are among the most-success-
ful in the country. In the 1907
show there were exhibits repre-
senting several states, and the
show was declared one of the best
ever held in this section. The out-
look is bright for even greater
success this year.
These are only a few features of
the great work of this organiza-
tion, which while ever striving for
the material improvement of the

The fact that colds are more com-

due simply to the lower temperature.
It is mainly because people spend less

and he was dragged tor the south-
side of the square. It was then
suggested by some -one that hang-
ing was too gixxl' for him and
there were cries of “Burn him !’’
Burn him !” This cry was taken
up by hundreds of throats and
tasty arrangements were made to
cremate him.
He was dragged to the other
corner of the court house square
where a funeral pyre of alxiut a
cord of wood ami crossties was
erected. On top of this the negro
was tied and then the wood and
the cowering man were saturated
with gallons of coal oil.
While the preparations for the
execution were in progress there
was intense excitement and all the
merchants closed tiieir stores while
court was adjourned, the wit-
nesses, lawyers and all others in
the big court house crowding to
the court house steps where a good
view of the burning negro could
be secured.
The torch was applied about 10
o’clock and the blaze at first was
slow in gaining force, but as the
flames mounted higher the negro
began to squirm and strain at the
ropes which bound him to the pile
of wood on which lie was doomed
to die. The negro, however, re-
tained his stoicism and failed to
make outcry of any kind, as he
had refused to answer any ques
tions since having been captured
by the officers, several miles away
from where the crime was com-
mitted. _
