FOR COTTON WEIGHER.
The Star takes pleasure in an-
nouncing Claud West for Cotton
Weigher at- Savoy. Most all our
readers know Claud as he has l>een
reared in Savoy and adjacent
country. He is an industrious
young man and well prepared for
the place, in fact it would just
suit him. He now assists his fa-
ther in handling the freight here
and has the teams and drays nec-
essary for hauling cotton.
Claud will be around to see you,
but in the meantime, he will ap-
preciate anything you may do for
him.
FOR TAX COLLECTOR.
In - our announcement column
this week appears the name of W.
C. (Clay) Reeves, who is a can-
didate for Tax Colle<5tor of Fanjiin
county, subject to the action of
the democratic primary in July.
Mr. Reeves is a native of Tennes-
see, having come to Texas some
twenty two years ago and settling
in Fannin county where he has
taught school successfully .several
years. For several months he has
been working in this office as a
deputy, thus thoroughly qualify-
ing him for the office. He is ac-
curate iu figures, careful and
painstaking, courteous and accom-
modating and in every way capable
of operating the office as it should
be in case the voters of the count}’
entrust him with it. As soon as
he can arraHge matters he expedts
to tneet the voters of this part of
the county and lay his claims more
fully before you.
This week we announce Edgar
B. Thomas as a candidate for the
office of Tax Collector of Fannin
county. Mr. Thomas was born in
Tennessee and raised on the farm.
He came to Texas when a boy and
settled in Fannin county, and he
knows what it is to work. He ap-
plied for a position to the cotton
weigher at Honev Grove and went
to work rolling bales of cotton in
the yard at that place. The good
people of Honey Grove soon saw
that he was of the right kind so in
due time they promoted him to
public weigher there, which office
he has very successfully held two
terms and now he comes before the
people of the comity as a candidate
for the office of Tax Colledtor.
He wishes the voters to make a
fair, square investigation of his
record and between now and the
primary, will appreciate any favors
bestowed upon him. He will try
to see you before the primary.
Bring your eggs to us and get
the highest market price and the
lowest price for dry goods.—Ar-
terberry.
Edgar B. Thomas of Honey
Grove }vas shaking hands with the
voters here Wednesday, in the
interest of his race for Tax Col-
lector.
FAIRVIEW DOTS.
Alvin Cojie has a ease of measles
at this writing.
Tommie Wright is better at this
writing. No more
port.
Mrs. H. A. Reaves and two sons
have returned from their visit to
Denison. Weldon was sick while
away, but is improved now.
Mrs. Ida Cope has been troubled
with chills the past few days.
R. T. Reaves spent Sunday with
Messrs D. G. Porter and L. E.
Stephenson.
W. S. Winchester and family
went to Denison Wednesday on a
business mission.
Singing was very fair Sunday
night. The new leaders did their
best to make it a success.
Mr. Davis has moved to Denison
and has bid farewell to this part of
the country, leaving some land to
rent on the hands of Mr. Winches-
ter.
There is a change in the weather
and it is much colder than the past
days have been.
We have learned that Mrs. Bet-
tie Price is better.
Mrs. Carrie Mead and son Willie
of Sterett, Okla. are visiting at Mr
Will Duckworth's
Uncle Bufi. Pierce, one of the old
settlers in this community, died at
his home Tuesday night of pneu-
monia. He had been in poor
health for some time, but now he
has passed over all suffering in this
life. Most every body that lived
here knew him for he has made his
home here, many years. His
wife and several children survive
him. His remains were laid to
rest in the Fairview cemetery
Wednesday evening. Oour sympa-
thy is extended to them in their
sorrow.
Mrs. Will Marshall died at her
home near Duplex Monday. She
had been sick only a few days with
pneumouja when death came and
relieved her of her suffering. She
was reared in Sulphur Rock, Ark
and moved to this country about
twelve years ago. She is a sister
to Messrs George and High Wright
of this community and would have
been 37 years old March 22. A
husband and four children survive
her* Our deepest sympathies are
extended to them ip their sad hour.
The remains^ we re laid to rest in
the cemetery here Tuesday even-

had it. A few cases of measles
scattered around. I believe Mrs.
Wheeler is the only invalid in the
district now and she is slowly im-
sickeess to re- J proving.
School keeps up tolerably well.
They have a .‘■pelling match every
two weeks which is reported very
interesting. I have not been able
to attend any of them.
It is said a wedding was spoiled
not far from here last week by the
groom failing to make his appear-
ance. Don’t know what* was the
matter, probably sickness, for
certainly no sensible man would
iniss a chance to marry. I think
if the girls who write for the Star
would make use of Dto^p Year’s
privileges there would be lit least
two old bachelors less near Savoy.
I attended meeting at Long
Branch Sunday, heard Bro. Reaves
preach and witnessed the organiz-
ing ol a church with brothers Tom
Cox and J. R. Poison, for elders;
and John Collins and Mac Cook-
sey for deacons. About twenty
Mrs Harry McClure of Randolph
spent Sunday night with her sister
Mrs. T. W. MeSpadden, and Mon-
day the two ladies and their broth-
er Henry Benton of Cripple Creek,
Col. went to Denison and Madill to

day.

OUR DEPARTED SISTER.
Mrs. M. C., wife of F. K. Sud-
dath. was taken with pneumonia
Wednesday night and died Mon-
day the 17th. Only one daughter,
Vin, the baby, was with her. . An
hour or two lxsfore she died she
said: I’ll soon be gone, tell the
girls to Ik- good mothers, live
good Christian lives and meet me
in Heaven. As she .was passing
j away she opened her eyes which j
| looked so bright and gazed on |
someihing beautiful, and fell asleep!

ASH GROVE HAPPENINGS.
Well another fortnight is added
to the past and we are all two
weeks nearer the grave, yet we
are hastening on, just as if time
was waiting for us. If we could
realize that it is eternity and not
time that is waiting, some of up
might amend our ways.
The weather has not been very
genial for the last two weeks and
we are not suffering from comfort
today. No farm work can be done.
I believe nearlv every one has con-
cluded to sow oats and if we have
favorable weather, a fair crop will
be sown. No talk of gardening
yet.but I notice more seed than u-
sual on the market. I have had
five packages sent me from Wash-
ington, and of the entire lot, only
two or three kinds are,suitable for
this climate. This seed distribu-
tion is a humbug and useless ex-
pense. Better reduce our taxes
that much and let us buy to suit
ourselves.
But little news of interest to re-
port. Small pox is stamped out
with only one case and he never
members were enrolled and a num-
* *
ber of others likelv to unite with
them. It would be hard to find a
better congregation anywhere, and
the prospect is good for building
up a large membership. I don’t
know whether the brethren around
Caney will try to keep up an or-
ganization or not. The old elders
are superannuated and no younger
ones seem disposed to take the
lead.
Moving is hot over yet. Frank
Daughertv, after making consid-
erable preparations for a crop, has
abandoned it and is preparing to
move to Bennington, Okla. His
brother, Ike, talks of doing the
same thing. This will knock a
big hole in the crops for this dis-
trict. Such is the bane of Texas.
If the people could be permanently
located the country would build
iip. I have never .seen any better-
place than Fannin county. All I
have see:: who are trying to build
comfortable homes are doing well.
But a majority seem to only want
a place to stop, long enough to
make money enough to move
somewhere else. Consequently
land is badly cultivated and be-
coming impoverished and little or
no improvement going on any-
where. One large school di^tri<5l
near here is entirely broken up and
I don’t know a road fit to travel
*. - *
on. Man was not satisfied in the
Garden of Eden,
been since,
who are fit for nothing but to start
a graveyard are often anxious to
sell out and move.
I got started off wrong, on this
letter and the more I writer the
further wrong I get. Your readers
must know that I have had to cook
for myself and am troubled with
indigestion. Perhaps this will ex-
plain the matter.
If I feel better next week I will
try to write a little .more interest-
ing or amusing or something dif-
ferent some way.
GRAY BEARD.
Would like to say that the Star’s
garden is up and doing nicely;
sueli as onions, peas, radishes,
lettuce, etc. etc. Can further say
that we do not wait for our garden
seed to be sent from Washington.
There are only three men in Con-
gress who oppose the Free Distri-
bution of garden seeds. Suppose
we cut all our Congressmen out
except those three and get them to
cut the garden seed out then our
taxes would be greatly reduced.—
