We don’t know of a place of
amusement in Denison where a
person can spend a few mo-

Arcade theatre, where the best

Dead broke, tired and foot sore,
a hobo called at the Gazetteer
office the past week. He said his
name was Judson, and that he
had been tramping fqr nine years
and enjoyed the life of tl»e free and
the wild. Judson commenced his
ramblings by starting from San
Juan, Gal. He had been all over
the west, bat never was in tbe
east, or New England States.
Like a bird of passage he follows
tbe seasons. The man was about
88 years old and apparently well
educated. He declared that Texas
people .were the kindest to his
profession, ami that with “a square
talk” were generally willing to
extend the .glad hand. He sak
that he was always willing to
[work for his grub ami that he
Joften remained with a family sev-
jeral weeks—uutil the spirit toUl

Walter T. Colquitt, who wa*
a great criminal lawyed in Georgia,
and a United States Senator from that
State before the war, wsu tbe father
of Alfred H. ColquUt. who was a Con-
federate brigadier general and after j
tbe war was elected governor and
senator from tbe State of Georgia,
were cousins of the family of tbe
present candidate for governor of
Texas. His grandmother, Usile
Franklin, was a distant relative of
Benjamin Franklin. Mr. Colquitt's ma-

Three kinds of lightning—sheet,
