filtered at the Bonham, Texas, poetof-
fico as second class mall matter.
Wait till the apples and sweet
potatoes come on the market, and
Teitas will recognize the* fact
that Fannin is the fruit and vege-
table county of the State.
The English have evidently
dfl&ided that they want the
Transvaal, and President Kruger
and his riflemen may make as
■tout a resistance as they please,
but sooner or later they will go.
The anti-lynchers of Boston
might take a week off now from
putting down lynching in the
South, and for that period devote
their time, sympathies and money
to the cyclone sufferers in Wis-
consin. '
•y. * ______
Let the women of Boston call
another meeting to suppress
lynching. Florida negroes
lynched two of their own Color
Monday, and it took a white
sheriff and, fourteen white
deputies to keep them from
lynching nine more at the same
time.
The chairman of the Republi-
can national committee has dis-
covered that he is doubtful of
Bryan’s nomination by the Demo-
crats in 1900, since 'Gorman has
practically announced as a can-
didate. The Democratic Nation-
al convention may not be gov-
erned by his views, however.
Admiral Dewey, having heard
of the effort of some friends to
present him a home, has prom ply
and properly notified them that
he will accept nothing of, the sort
for himself. The enthusiasts
might turn their, attention to a lot
of people who do need homes,
and help them to secure them.
In an interview this week with
Tr—Dallas News correspondent,
Mark Hanna informed the public
that he was “not the Republican
National Convention.” Well!
Most people have been of the
opinion for some timethat,in the
Republican patfy, Mark is not
only the National convention,
but the “whole thing.”
Make Hanna says that the
president’s action in taking some
10,000 offices out of the civil ser-
vice list is all right, and will be
■o regarded by the people when
properly explained. The people,
in Mark’s estimation, are the pol-
iticians who will have the filling
of the places, and the fellows who
get to fill them.
With a ready ^market at Bon-
ham for any quantity of fruit and
vegetables, the sandy land
country north of here would lose
its reputation as a producer of
stove wood, and gain a .better
one for raising berries, fruits and
vegetables, and in that day $5 an
acre land will jump to $50 and
$100 an acre.
i
In conversation this week
with a gentleman from another
town concerning the faithful
work done by our representa-
tives in the last* legislature,
a question was asked concerning
our senator from this district in
the next legislature.
The present senator’s term ex-
pires, and as Lamar county has
had the _asn&te*-&r~the past four
years, Fannin will be entitled to
furnish the next one. The next
legislature will be an important
one in several ways. One of the
works it will be called on to do is
to reduce the state expenditures
as much as possible and do away
with every item of unnecessary
expejse. The people are going
to demand this. For a safe, con-
servative level-headed man for
the place, the News knows of
no one who will fill the bill better
than our present County Demo-
cratic Chairman, C. A. Wheeler.
There has been some talk of his
probable candidacy. We do not
know that he will be a candidate
at all, but we are sure that he
would make this district an able
senator and a safe one. He is
thoroughly in sympathy with his
party, and would be active in
carrying out its platform de-
mands.
Fannin County Summer Normal.
Fannin county has this year
•old more hogs, more cattle,
more berries, more potatoes and
more vegetables than it ever did
before, and it will soon begin to
" ■ell the largest wheat and oat
crop it has had in years, a good
corn crop is assured, and cotton
looks well. The prospects are
that we shall have prosperous
times this fall.
Somj^ people are complaining
at the president because he took
about 10,000 offices frpm under
the civil service regulations and
gave them to the spoilsmen.
These people declare that the
president pledged himself that
“no backward step in civil ser-
vice reform should be taken.”
The president has kept his wo^l.
This is no backward itep. It is a
regular backward plunge, with
somersault attachments.
Some parties have been com-
plaining very much because the
sheriff has notified everybody
that the law governing sales of
merchandise on Sunday must be
observed. As might be expected
these complaints are generally
from parties whose business or
whose convenience is interfered
with. The officers are exactly
right, and they should receive
the support and encouragement
of all good citizens. The law
they are enforcing is a very plain
one, and it ought to be observed.
Itjs no excuse to say it has not
heretofore been so rigidly en-
forced; that is all the better
reason why it should be now.
The large majority of the people
are in fayor of the Sunday law,
and if they were not, it would
not relieve the officers of their
duty to enforce it. When peo-
ple are allowed to openly violate
qpe law, it brings all law more
or less into disrepute. Let the
law be observed always.
A cyclone visited New Rich-
mond Wis., last Monday, and* it
is reported that 1000 people were
killed and injured. Many bodies
will never be recognized as the
buildings, after being blown
down, took fire- and burned.
Medical Association Meeting.
The North _ Texas Medical
Association will meet in this
city next Tuesday. The meeting
will be called to order at 2:30 p.
m., in the district court room.
After the ball to order, prayer
will be offered by Rev. F. M.
Cowden. Assistant County At-
torney R. B. Young will deliver
an address of welcome on behalf
of the citizens, and Dr. J. M.
Neel on behalf of the local physi-
cians. These will be responded
to by President J. E. Gilcreest,
of Gainesville.
Cn Wednesday night the ladies
of the 99 Club, assisted by a few
invited friends, wftl entertain the
physicians at the pavilion, at
which time the president of the
association will deliver his ad-
dress. The local physicians have
lighted the grounds at the pavil-
ion, chartered the cars for the
occasion, and will have the band
to furnish music during the
evening.-
The physicians have a long
program of subjects to be discuss-
ed, which are of interest to phy-
sicians only, and which it is not
necessary to give.

On May 10th Mrs. Meyer Hertz-
man, wife of the elder proprietor
of the Bee Hive, went to Louis-
ville, Ky., to visit relatives. She
was perfectly well when she left,
but Tuesday of last week her
husband received word that she
was very sick of malarial fever
He left at once to go to her, but
she died before he reached her.
She was buried there..
The Fannin County Summer
Normal opened Monday after-
noon last at the public high school
building. Conductor A. L. Ma-
lone and faculty, F. M. Gibson,
B. W. Miller and R. J. Kepke all
being present More than forty
teachers were in attendance.
Excellent addresses on Normal
Work—Its Character and Pur-
pose, were made by Superinten-
dent I. W. Evans, Conductor
Malone and the other members
of the faculty.
The classes were organized and
the .program for the Normal was
arranged. Then the first day’s
work was over, and everyone
felt well satisfied. The opening
attendance was larger than at
any previous Normal for several
years, and' the interest of all the
teachers in the work was ap-
parent.
Every day since the opening
other teache«| have been coming
in, and the number in attendance
now exceeds forty. The mem-
bership will probably number
seventy-five before the Normal
closes. Teachers from Grayson
and Hunt counties are here in
attendance.
Prof. Malone is an able con-
ductor, as he has heretofore
shown by his work, and he is
supported by an excellent faculty,
every member of which is well
fitted for his particular work.
This will be the best Normal the
county has had for several years.

NOBILITY.
We had quite a heavy rain last Satur-
day evening, which was very beneficial
to vegetables, corn and cotton, but
hindered the farmers from reaping
their oats and wheat. It was the
heaviest rain of the season. It is re-
ported that three men while attempt-
ing t» water their horses came very
near being drowned in Desert creek,'

The Commissioners Court of
Grayson county, sitting as a
board of equalization, has raised
the value of railroad property in
that county something over $300, •
000 more than it was rendered
for taxattoo. This has been one
year that some railroad men have
done too much talking. The
court has been trying to recon-
cile the sworn statements of the
railroad officials to the tax asses-
sor and the statement sworn to
when the said officials wanted to
restrain the railroad commission
from interfering with certain of
their affairs. The court has fix-
ed the valuation at less thau half
of what the officials swore in the
latter case that the roads were
worth. Surely the roads can’t
complain at this!

ham Grain Co., are erecting large

excellent execution along the
