Money Rings; the Twelve Apostles; the Four County Papers, Enquirer, Waxy, Granny
Bradley and Plano Review; the Bushwhacking Herald and Times of Dallas; the Rail
Road Corporations, the Cattle Kings and the great body of the wealth of the
county. His Support: The Democrat and the masses of the common people.

Mr. J. J. M. HARPER informs us of the death of Mr. Jno. WELLS, who lives near
the Collin county line in Denton county, by hanging himself in the barn near his
house. He was about 40 years old. Cause, disease. Leaves a wife and children.
Buried Friday./ "We understand Uncle Ed WHITELY has gone off on a hunt to be
gone until after the election. Whether into the Indian Nation or to Farmersville
does not yet appear./Letter from Richard SCALF about his nickname./ RHEA's Mill
Heard From Again
Another Correction: We understand that the Democrat is still
a little tangled on that toll business at RHEA's Mill. The rule is to take the
grist and give the customers the toll. That is you get the fourth and fifth.
We hope this will prove more satisfactory than our correction of last week. We
understand the miller informs the public that it is not a free grass mill. The
lease law means to take all and give none.
