"To Man Only" Sermons.
The editoir of the Bonham Newt
in • lengthy editorial under the head
Cheap Senaetionaliam” hits the
“To Men Only” sermons the fol-
lowing blow:
We never see a sermon “To Men
Only” announced that we do not
think that something is wiong,
either with the sermon or the an-
nouncement. The sermon that can-
not with propriety be listened to by
env woman or child, it not fit for
any man to hear; if the sermon is
good, it it wrong to announce it for
“men only, boyt and women ex-
cluded,” tor such an announcement
creates a false impression, as it is
intended to do. The impression
made on the minds of the men who
art attracted u that they are to hear
something salacious or suggestive,
and therein alone lies the attraction.
Such deception in the announcement
of a business man would be repre-
hensible. Is it not equally so in a
preacher?
How about that other form of
clerical sensationalism, which is
heard of occasionally. Sermons to
Women Only? A preacner who
would say something to a young
lady or a married woman, that it la
not proper for the father or husband
to listen to, deserves to be kicked
out of the community, and it i« sur-
prising that these tellows can get an
audience of “women only” on such
a proposition.

The republican county executive
committee met at Sherman on the

and the county convention at Wood-

The editor of the Durant News
dreamed the other night that he was
at St. Peters’ gate awaiting admis-
sion, when Rev. Cranflll came up
and asked Peter to let him in, but
the saint replied, “Doctor, I am
sorry to tell you, but you must set
the grip down and back off fifteen
feet till I can search it. Rev. Dr.
Hayden has just entered and we can
not allow any shooting m heaven.”

Several non-union paintera have

Alfalfa was being juought to the
city the past week. It was ot a

Some very fine Johnson grass was
brought in. We think that there is
a law preventing the sale of Johnson
grass.
The Herald speaks of a cat fish
caught in Red River that weighed
soS pounds. The Herald says
further that it is theViggest fish ever
caught in those waters. This is a
mistake. About 1874 old man
Walton, a noted fisherman, landed
a cat fish near the mouth of Choctaw
that weighed 217 pounds. The fisb
was brought to John Denney's
market and weighed in tbe presence
of a targe crowd of people.
A bachelor physician always re-
ports that there is danger in kissing.
It does devoiop matrimonial germs
if nothing else.
Ex-Mayor Kennedy is able to be
out after a severe spell of sickness.
H. C. Wood, who lives in the
Red River belt thinks that he hss
corn that will make 100 bushels to
the acre. He Is an old tarmer and
says that he never saw such tine corn
prospects. The excessive rains have
brought no pests as was expected.
Cotton is also looking well.
A letter written by a woman in
Kansas concerning a certain man
said, “1 would like to know it be it
dead and his address.”
A negro was dumped here in the
last stages of consumption. He laid
on the floor of the negro waiting
room at the Union depot for nearly
twelve hour*. He got on the tram
at Fort Gibson and wanted to go to
Dallas. The mayor and chief of
oolice were notified but absolutely
refused to ass/st tbe dying unfor-
tunate. The common impulses ot
humanity should have mo^ed them
to human action. As a last resort
the Y. M. C. A. Was appealed to,
with the result that a ticket was pur-
chased and the consumptive sent to
Dallas on the H. & T. C-
Commissioner Moreland who was
east of the city the early part of the
week reports fine crop prospects
Mr. Moreland has his gang at work
on highways near Carpenter Bluff
He will then come over into the old
Bonham road, near the home of the
late Col. John Davis. The oppon-
ents ot Mr. Moreland are circulating
all kinds ot campaign trash to de-
feat him —- that he put $1,000 down
in his jeans when he sold the county
mules. This is wild talk and the
parties may be called on to prove
what they say. That kind of talk,
however does more harm to the op-
posing candidate. It is not honor-
able to go behind a man’s back and
make charges which cannot be
proven. That kind of politics doesn’t
pay; it is dishonorable. If More-
land doesn’t beat the field two to one
we shall be mistaken. *
The dog wagon has completed
the round of the city and is out of
service temporarily at least. The
police have collected $360 tor dog
taxes and 125 strays have been
killed.
The Gazetteer regrets to learn
of the death of Burr Hobson, which
occurred at El Paso a few days ago.
Burr was the victim of consumption.
Deceased was well known in Deni-
son, especially in newspaper circles.
He was solicitor tor tbe Denison
Herald. He was born in Sherman
and at the time of death was about
thirty years of age. He leaves a
mother, three sisters and three
brothers. His mother, Mrs. M. E.
Hobson, and sisters, Mrs. W. Col-
bert and Miss Mary Hobson, live at
Ardmore. Another sister, Mrs. V.
Crank, lives in Denison. His
brothers, C. S. Hobson and C. A.
Hume, live at El Paso and W. R.
Hume, at Woodville. The remains
will be shipped to Ardmore for in-
terment.
A few days ago the writer receiv-
ed from the Burrow Bros., Cleve-
land, Ohio, a small book. Tbe ex—
pressage was thirty cents. The
same book could have been sent by
mail for twelve cents. Why this
difference? The truth of the matter
is that the American Express Co.'s
rates are unreasonable, unjusr. Tbe
writer has received from the same
publishing house several books, via
the Wells Fargo and tbe charges
never exceeded fifteen cents. To
Burrow Bros.: — don’t send any
more books by the American
Express Co.

George Haskins relates how a
large rat put a cat horse-de-combat.
Tbe rat grabbed tbe cat by the nose
and sunk its teeth so deep that tbe
bone was crushed. The cat went
wild, rolled over and over on the
ground but tailed to dislodge the
rat. The sc resms of tbe cat were
most pitiful. Haskins went to the
rescue with a club; striking tba rat;
breaking ita back. During tbe
fight, the rat kept a clawing tbe caps
neck and in a few moments more
would have cut its throat. Haskins
says that the cat’s nose is, torn to
ribbons and it will probably die.
A resident of the Territoty asked
the Gaxkttkkr if there would be a
Fourth of July celebration. We
haven’t heard of any.
A. P. Clark is quite ill with
typhoid tever.
Mrs. Howland, who resides on
the Mary P. Harnest place, near
Hyde Park, broke her left arm near
the wrist. Tbe next day while Mr.
Howland was fixing a wagon the
1 ttle finger of the right hsnd was
pulled off. Both are quite old.
There are farmers m Red River
bottom who predict that they will
harvest 100 bushels of corn to the
acre. Cotton it looking well. In
fact crops never were more
couraging.
W. S. Hibbard was obliged
put on two additional delivery wag-
ons and three new clerks the past
week. Considering that this is the
dull season, it speaks volumes for
the old reliable.
Our frieDd, J. H. Dunn states
that his grocery business has doubled
within the past month and is grow-
ing right along. We are glad ot it.
Dunn is tbe kind of man that we
like to see prosper.
The reporter of the Gazetteer
is indebted to our old townsman
Nassoy for a fine mess of vegetables.
A swarm of bees lit in our neigh-
borhood Monday. About fifty men
gathered and everyone pretended to
know all about bees, except one
fellow who was stung, and he din’t
remain long enough to tell what
he did know.
A gentleman informs the Gazet-
teer that he saw a Calitornia pa-
per recently which placed the in-
habitants ot Denison at 7000, and
that the city was located on Red
river and that we do a large river
trade. That paper must have got
things mixed up m Red river navi-
gation.
Out in Iowa a drunken man shot
at his wife five times and was in
turn shot at seventeen times by two
policemen. No one was hurt. A
year or so ago a policeman in our
neighborhood shot at a dog five
times and the dog escaped.
That Pittsburg mar. who shot him-
self because supper was not ready
when he arrived at home presents a
topic tor the consideration ot the
woman’s club.
Wednesday, at 1:30 p. m. the
thermometer stood at 102 in tbe
shade. Clouds appeared in the
northwest, tbe wind started up and
the thermometer went down 21 de-
grees in a few moments. A heavy
rain followed, which laid the dust
and revived things.
A lady who lives on West Owing
street, near Allen’s grocery store,
relates an incident that happened
Monday. A girl fifteen years of
age applied for a home. She had
fled from the roof of her parent, as
he was a drunkard and treated her
in a brutal manner, in fact home
was a perfect hell. The man found
out where she was and called there
demanding that she return to her
home. He grabbed her and drag-
ged her to a wagon and drove off,
the child crying as if her heart
would break. Here is a case where
the law should interpose. •
You hear a great deal about the
cruelty to aaimals, and that a soci-
ety should exist in Demaon to bring
to justice people who abuse dumb
animals, at the same time es-
tablish e society that will prevent
cruelty to babies. Tbe writer sew
a baby today (Wednesday) in ago
cart that was tucked up in e blanket
end e heavy veil over ita face. How
the. child survived the ordeal tbe
Lord only knows. A woman that
has no better sente than that n
ought to have children. BuUtbat it
no worse than dosing babies with
strong medicines, patent medicines,

| W. T. Kennedy' of Denison,
father of ex mayor Sid Kennedy,and
Mrs. H.W. Bramble ot Durant, has
purchased twenty acres of land just
north of Durent from Mr*. Ben Me-
Curtain and will cover the land with
fruit trees. He will make that place
his home.
The town hat been fufl of candi-
dates the past week. They are
working the dear people for all they
are worth. A number are card
candidates who have not announced
in the papers.
A destructive hail storm visited
the country five or six miles south-
east ot the city Wednesday evening.
Hundreds of acres of corn, and cot-
ton were badly damaged, and es-
pecially is tbia true with reference
to the cotton. The greatest destruc-
tion was at tbe T. & t\ Denison
Junction.
The editor ot the Church News
will probably find some very inter-
esting facts and figures by consult-
ing the police court docket of Deni-
son for the past week or ten days.
“China Joe,” A1 Thomas, the
gunsmith at F. E. Shatter’s, and
“Buck,” the tamoui camp cook,

country east ot Stringtown, I. T.
They will bunt bear and mountain
lions which are said to be very thick
over there. “China” must expect
something serious as he has made
out hia last will and testament.

Judge Wilson was disqualified to

it into fragments. — Richmond

The Hopkins County Record, a
paper which consider* railroad

more nor less than a bribe, quotes

And there is no doubt he could get

Brother Lowry, of the Honey
Grove Signal makes the rash state-
ment that a drink of water on the
St. Louis Fair grounds costs five
cents. We were at the Fair at the
ame time Lowry was and we don’t
believe he drank a glass of water
while there. If he had complained
that beer cost fUteen cents a bottle,
there might have been grounds tor a
kick. He probably got his informa-
tion second hand. The fact is dis-
tilled water is furnished at booths
for a cent a glass, with handsome
young ladies to serve it. Our mu-
tual friend, Baillio, drank water at a
dozen places just to get a chance to
talk to the girls and told us it wat
the best arrangement for quenching
his thirst he had ever run up against.
Baillio is right, and Lowry deserves
to be tried by a cangarue court and
sentenced to drink hydrant water for
a year for failure to appreciate a
good thing when he sees it.
A Washington newspaper cor-
respondent interviewed Congress-
man Cowherd, running the demo-
cratic national campaign from the
Riggs house, to hear what he had to
say about the republican platform.
“What has become ot the party’s
courage?” he asked, “On some ot
the greatest questions its tongue
is paralyzed. Isn’t the labor sitU'
ation conspicuously betore the coun-
try? The platform say* not a word
about it. What it going to be done
with the Philippines? The repub-
lican platform does not lisp a sylla-
ble. Has the tariff ceased to be an
issue ? The platform makes no
promise about it except that it will
be diminished or increased when-
ever its political guardian thinks fit.
Of the gross postoffice corruptions
it merely says our administration of
tbe great departments of the gov-
ernment has been honest.” The
subject of statehood is not mention-
ed in the platform, although four
inchoate states with a million and a
half population are knocking loudly
at the doot. Is that an attractive
platform?”
Imitation is the sincerest flattery.
Remember that Abraham Lincoln
was on the south balcony of the
White House when he received the
announcement of hia renomination;
President Roosevelt walked out
upon tbe south balcony to receive
the news of his nomination at Chi-
cago as the tenth successor of tbe
distinguished rail splitter.
