City Election.
As stated in Friday’s News,
Thursday was the day for the
holding of the city election.
It was a very quiet affair, in-
deed. There was no drunken-
ness nor rowdyism of any kind—
quite different to what it used to
be in the days gone by.
A second primary will be held
on the 15th of this month.
Here is the result, according to
the official count:

DR. KING’S
NEW DISCOVERY
FOR CONSUMPTION, COUGHS IND COLDS
“Sitting by My Wife’s Bed”
writes P. G. Huntley, of Oaklanden, Ind., “I read about
Dr. King’s New Discovery. She had got a frightful
chronic cough, which three doctors failed to relieve.
After taking two bottles she was perfectly cured, and
today she Is well and strong."
Died at Ladonia.
It was stated in these columns
last Tuesday that Mrs. Elliot
Jackson, of Ladonia, had suf-
fered a stroke- of paralysis the
Sunday before. Friends and rel-
atives hastened to her bedside to
administer aid and comfort, buta
to no avail. So it now becomes
our painful duty to state that on
last Friday, just after noon, her
spirit took its flight into the
Great Beyond.
Surrounded by grief-stricken
relatives and a host of sorrowing
friends, her body was laid to rest
in the Ladonia cemetery on Sun-
day.
The deceased was a native of
the good old State of Georgia,
having been born in Marietta 63
years ago. Fifty years ago she,
as a little girl, came with her
parents to Texas, settling near
where Ladonia now stands.
WThen womanhood’s golden morn
dawned upon'her, she was mar-
ried to Mr. Elliot Jackson. As a
result of the happy union, eight
children were born unto them.
A number of years ago, the
family moved to Ladonia, where
an elegant home was erected that
soon became the meeting place of
both young and old, the spirit of
the old time southern hospitality
ever pervading the atmosphere
of that happy abode.
But now the sweet-spirited
wife and mother, who “reigned
like a queen” in that home, has
been called to dwell “in that
home beyond the skies." and
from the eys of her children and
relatives flow tears of grief, and
in their hearts is the lead of sor-
row.
But why mourn for the de-
parted? “Aunt Sade," as she
was affectionately called by those
who knew her best, had rounded
out a long and useful life, and
she is entitled to the rest that
comes only those who dwell be-
yond the star-lit skies. She has
merely crossed the Great Divide,
where she will wait and watch
for the loved ones who are yet to
follow as the years come and go.
Peace, sweet peace to her de-
parted spirit; consolation to the
sorrowing ones whom she has
left on this shore.

Tri-County Normal.
The counties of Lamar, Red

other summer normal this year.
The committee haying charge
of the matter met in Paris last
Saturday. The object of the
meeting was to choose a man to
conduct the normal, and to de-
cide on the place wheie the nor-
mal shall be held.
The committee succeeded in ac-
complishing the first object
named, and selected Prof. I. W.
Evans, of this city. That the
committee made a very wise se-
lection, every one will agree,
who is acquainted with Mr.
Evans and knows his splendid
qualifications. He is fitted for
the position by nature, by educa-! tion
tion and by experience. Nature
endowed him with a bright mind,
he has developed it by hard
study and he has had many

to get the affair pulled off at that
place. We trust that Representa-
tives from the Bonham Board of
Tiade will be there, and be there
with the determination to do all
within their power to get the
normal here.^ One thing is sure:
If Bonham gets the normal she
must convince the committee
that she wants it.

of the good stuff. The cows

It is now hoped that the com- cuiated io differel,t pUcM
mittee will act as wisely in se- throughout the county,
lecting the place of meeting. As We will publish it in full in
it is Bonham’s time to have it,
not having had it since it was
instituted, it is nothing but right
that the normal should be
brought here. The conductor
lives here, the town is plenty able
to accomodate the teachers, both
as to furnishing one ^f the best
school buildings in the country
and as to boarding houses, and
Bonham is the place tor it.
The last legislature amended
the law with reference to teach-
ers’ certificates, providing that
all who attend the county insti-
tute every year and the normal
once every other year shall be en-
titled to have their certificates
extended without standing an ex-
amination. So, as this will be
the first meeting ot the kind to
be held since the passage of the
above law, it is
Friday’s News.
District Court.
The court adjourned Friday
afternoon, and the Judge went to
Paris to hear some habeas corpus
proceedings Saturday, hence
there was no court here that day.
Yesterday court convened, and
the civil jury docket was taken
up. The jury was empaneled,
and the case of W. C. Medlin vs.
the city of Savoy was called.
The case was" not disposed of
on account of the court adjourn-
ing through respect for Major
Grace, deceased.
The court will convene as usu-
al this morning.
Liquor Vendor.
- Deputy Sheriff Blair went
but natural to down on the river Saturday, and,
assisted by Deputy Hart, of Tel-
ephone, he took in a liquor ven-
dor by the name of Jim Daniels.
Daniels is one of the boys who
has been running with the Met-
calfe gang. He was brought
here and lodged in jail. He i;
also wanted for some other of-
fense committed in the Ivanhoe
community.
suppose that the number of
teachers to attend will be great-
ly increased. Heretofore, some-
thing like 200 teachers have at-
tended the tri-county normal, so
since the change of the law we
dan safely figure that the num-
ber will be increased at least a-
third, if not a half, making a to-
tal of something like 270 or 300
teachers.
In view of the foregoing, it
certainly behooves the citizens of
Bonham to bestir themselves and
see to it that this fine oody of
men and women is brought
among us during the summer
months.
The committee will meet in
this city next Saturday to finally *r,'esG|fate the advantages of the Pd-
