Miss Myrtle, 17-year-old daugh-
ter of T. C. (Crit) Shives died
Thursday night at Gober of Ty-
phoid fever. She was taken sick
at Commerce while at school and
was ill two weeks. The family'
is well known here.
The Cottage of Ben Page on South
5th Street Razed to the
Ground.
An alarm of fire was turned in
Friday morning between 2 and 3
o’clock. It was with great diffi-
culty that the department re-
sponded, owing to the lights of
the city being out, an‘d by the
time the company arrived on the
scene the house and contents
were doomed to total destruction.
The house was owned and occu-
pied by Ben Page and family', and
was located on the corner of
South 5th and Bills streets.
There was only' small insurance,
which was on the contents and
none on the building. 0
The fire is thought to have
started from a lamp explosion.
On account of illness in the fam-
ily, a lamp was left burning in
the dining room, and it was from
this room the flames first made
their appearance. The occu-
pants were compelled to flee in
their night clothes to save them-
selves, not even having time to
secure their outer garments. Only
a trunk and a very' few household
articles were gotten out and the
house was burned to the ground.
Mr. Page is a cotton mill em-
ploye, stands well among his
friends as a gentleman, is honest
and a hard worker. This is, in-
died, a calamity on he and his
family. •
We have a pretty little cottage
of 3 rooms, hall, 2 porches, all
brick flues, good cistern, 1-2
acre of ground, all new, and
building is a frame, that we can
sell for S550 with S100 down and

balance monthly. Located near
Pate Tay lor's in northwest Bon-
hapi. A chance y'ou don’t often
find.—Evans & McKinney'.

Citation by Publication.

County of Fannin, f
To ‘the Sheriff or any Constabe of
Fannin County—Greeting:
You ate hereby commanded, that
by making publication of this Citation
in some newspaper published in Fan-
nin County, for four weeks previous
to the return day hereof, you summon
W. H;. Newton, whose residence is
unknown and who is a non-resident of
the State of Texas, to be and appear
before the Justice’s Court, Precinct
No. 1, to be holden in and for the
County of Fannin, at the Court
House thereof, in Bonham, Texas, on
the last Monday in July, 1904. it
being the 25th day of said
CAUSE AND EFFECT.
The triple combination—good Hour,
good baking, good bread—requires par-
ticular excellence in the first requi-
site. the Hour. Starting with such a
fiour as the PURITY brand, more
than half the battle is already fought
and won. “Be sure you’re right’- (be
certain you have Bonham flour), “then
go ahead.” pages of description
would come no nearer the truth of
Purity's pre-eminence as a bread
making flour.
Ask the Bonham bakers who makes
the best flour they use for making
their loaf bread. We have put in
new machinery and will be better pre-
pared to serve you this season than
ever before. Be sure you get Bonham
your, meal and bran. “Stay with
flour home folks.”
Will Be Responsible.
It’s a broad assertion, but if
you will give the matter a serious
thought you will agree with us
at ounce that the country press
will be responsible for the intelli-
gence and morality of the genera-
tion that succeeds it.—Albany
News.
It is an excellent thing for a
newspaper worker to feel the
weight of responsibly, to be
impressed with the thought that
it is his duty to deal squarely and
decently with the public at all
times. While that is true, it
seems too much \to claim that
the country press will be solely
responsible for the intelligence
and morality of the generation
that succeeds it. State press has
an idea that “the hand that rocks
the cradle’’ will have something
to do with shaping the character
of the next generation.—State
Press.

Miss Nellie Biggerstaff enter-
tained a number of ner little

Nellie’s birthday and quite a num-

ed of J. W. Houston and J. J. Pritch-
ett, Jr., and that said W. H. Newton
and Henry Newton on December 10th,

cuted and delivered to the First Na-
tional Bank, Bonham, Texas, their
promisory note for the sum of $112.00.
due October 1st, 1902, payable at
Bonham, Texas, drawing' interest
from maturity at the rate of loper
cent per annum and providing for 10
per cent additional On amount and in-
terest of said note as attorneys’ fees

That said bank, for a valuable con-
sideration, transferred said note to
plaintiffs prior to its maturity, and

non-resident of the State of Texas,
and is possessed of property situated
in Faimin County, Texas, subject to

Wherefore, plaintiffs pray that a
writ of attachment issue and that
the same be levied on property of said
defendant, W. H. Newton, situated in
Fannin County, Texas, that they
have judgment fortheir debt, interest,
attorney s fees and costs of suit: and
that they have all relief, general or
special, proper in the premises.
