Lecture ly Booth Lowery.
The Lyceum course under the
management of the Bonham
High School closed Monday
night with one of the best and
most entertaining numbers, a
lecture on the subject of “Simon
Says Wiggle Waggle.” Although
the lecture was to a great extent
a humorous one, there was con-
tained in it a truth as old as the
hills and that is that public opin-
ion rules to too great an extent
the thoughts and actions of men.
Some of the witticisms were as
follows: “I do not know very
much about a mother-in-law. I
married an orphan rather than
take any fool chances.” “Do
you expect to get your mone\’s
worth out of this lecture? It de-
pends on what you brought along
to get it in.” “Love brings
the sweetest, misery a happy
soul can suffer. It is like a de-
lightfully lingering d e a t h.”
“These silver hairs that grace
this brow where once the raven
locks held sway did not come to
me through age. If you had as
much gray matter in your head
as I have in mine, it would show
through, too.” “She ts in love
with herself and has no rival.”
The entire lecture was a series
of wit and although he talked
for two hours the audience would
have gladly listened to him for a
longer time.

Dave Blair Case.
The Dave Blair case has oc-
cupied most of the time of the
District court for the past two or
three davs and as this paper goes
to press the decision of the case
is in ths hands of the jurv- Peo-
ple will remember that a little
oyer a year ago some one set fire
to one of the stores in the little
town of Gober which fire caused
the entire destruction of seven or
eight stores at that place. Both
the prosecution and the defense
had many witnesses and the case
was fought vigorously. The
jury came out once and told
Judge Denton they could not
agree. Judge Deaton told them
to go back and stay until they
could agree. They are still try-
ing to agree but have uot yet
succeeded.
Gesrte Pewell Case
As this paper goes to press an
effort is being made to secure a
jurv for the Geo. Powell case.
Up to the present time there have
been summoned 110 veniremen of
whom but four were chosen as
members of the jury. This is
one of the most important cases
on the docket and will be the
cause of a good deal of interest.
A mass meeting of the Union
laboring men was held at the
district Court room last Tues-
day night at which a resolution
was passed in the interest of the
laboring men endorsing the eight
