One of the interesting exhibits to
be seen at the first trades display to
be "held soon will be the natural hen
Incubator, as manufactured by Gus-
tavo Bott, living on R. F. D. No. 1,
Tyler.
This is an Incubator that can be
manufactured at home, and, when
Mr. Bott puts it on exhibition In Ty-
ler he will explain just how it can be
manufactured, it ia said to be a
very simple, yet lngenlusly construct
td affair, and takes the place of the
lilgih-class and high-priced incubator,
No doubt this home made incubator
will attract considerable attention at
the Trades Day.

It has been decided that the bronze

Statuary Hall, at Washington, D. C.,
otherwise the hall of patriots and!
distinguished Americans, says the
Sherman Democrat.
This is well. It shows the broad
spirit of this day and generation.
i Such would not have been tolerated
twenty years ago, and twenty years
In the future we who have been
more or less partisan on certain
things affecting our national life will
feel ashamed to know that such was
ever the case. Perhaps some bis

TRADES DAYS AT LONG VIEW
AND MARSHALL.
* • Jk. '
We had the pleasure of attending
show that we were at least justified
in being so. Let us hope so, at
east. Ou:' common country has been
growing, not only geographically but
in qualities of nobility. To err is
human but to rectify error is glory.
General Lee fought for a principle
which he\ thought and 'believed with
all his heart was right, and believing
thus he threw the energy of his
great soul into the contlict. When
the opposite Idea prevailed by force
of arma, "and the bugles sang peace,"
he accepted the decision like the
brave and great character that he
wis. It is to be regretted that more
great men on either side of the
struggle did not follow his example.
Therefore, all patriotic people with
out regard to section, will be glad
the first trades days at both Longview J to know that a statue of the great
and Marshall. These were held under
the auspices of the Commercial Club,
assisted) by the U. S. cooperative de-
monstration farm men of these re-
rpectivi cou'niios. The farm pro
ducts, poultry, live stock, etc., ex-
hibited at each of these trades days
were truly wonderful and Inspiring.
At Longview the exhibits were dis-
played in the court house and bhe
hero is to adorn Statuary Hall. Sure-
ly no man whose figure is represent-
ed there carried greater burdens or
submitted to them more manfully.
ABOUT COUNTY FAIRS.
The county fair Is educational and
therein lies its inestimable value.
Wole city turned" out" tó~ vi¡w the ^er? jxninty _ shouW have an^ annual
show. Upstairs in the court room
of ühe same building there were sev-
eral short addresses on faimlng,
stock raising, road building and kin-
dred subjects. At Marshall the ex-
hibits were dlspalyed in a store
house rented for the purpose, and
during the day the show was visited
fair. The welfare of the country de-
pends upon the acquisition and as-
similation of new and u'p-to-date
ideas. The annu'al fair is not suffi-
cient but because of the expense in-
cident thereto, they are not to be
held inore often. But a fine substi
tute Is found In the farmers exhibits
and. monthly trader day gatherings
The enterprising real estate firm of
Bostick & Jones, have just consum-
mated another deal whereby G. F.
Stoweis of Rockford, Ind., buys the
Howell Scott property, located at
Ashcraft on the Short Line railroad,
€ miles from Tyler.
The farm has 226 acres and the
price paid was $3390, being $15 an
acre.
Ths is considered one of the best
farms in that section of the county.
It has an abundance of timber, is
well watered, has a large orchard
and many acres in corn and cotton.
Mr. Bostick advises the Courier-
Times that it is Mr. Stowers' ipurpose
to spend' a. large sum of money in im
proving the farm. Among other
things, he expects to put a 6 foot hog
proof wire fence around the entire
place ,and fyulld several new houses.
Being a believer in good roads, Mr.
Stowers announces that he will at
once begn the improvement of good
roads In that' vicinity, and, in the
course of time, will build an automo-
bile roa:! from Tyler to his farm.
Before buying here, Mr. Stowers
made two trips to South Texas. Af-
ter invstigatlng here, he found that
the opportunities were vastly super-
ior to those of South Texas, hence,
he invested his money in Smith coun
ty land. He finds that the lands here
are practically as good as they are
In Indiana where they are worth
$150 to $24>o an acre.
G. C. Burkliart accompanied Mr.
Stowers on his visit here and we are
advised that he was so well pleased
with Smith oounty that he will like-
1 yreturn with Mr.Stowers late in the
fall and locate here also.

WILL MILLER
SHOT AND KILLED
(From Monday's Daily.)
Just before noon today, W. A. Red-
wine, colored, president of the Col-
ored Relief Association, an undertak-
ing concern, shot and killed Will Mil-
ler, colored, who works for I. N.
Pinkston, owner of another undertak-
ing company.
The killing occurred in the stair-
way next to the barber shop on the
southeast corner of the square. It
appears that no one was present at
the time of the shooting. Miller was
shot through the body and had an-
other hole through his head1. It is
evident that the latter wound was
made as he fell or after he had fallen
to the floor, as the bullet went in at
the back of the head.
The trouble occurred over a fun-
eral, which, it seems, Miller had con
ducted, but which Redwine had at
tempted to coudu'ct The men had
some words and the fight resulted.
After the shooting, Redwine walk
en around toward his place of bus)
ness, on East Erwin street, and meet-
ing an officer, surrendered, and was
taken to jail.
It Is a'-ated that Miller was unarm
ed. Miller Is a well known negro
and for sometime worked at the
Steam laundry. Rediwine has lived
here for many years and is well
,nown among the negroes.
Members of the Smith <N unt> dele
satlon who attended the tfelveston
convention are somewhat ret leon I
about discussing what happened
there. In fact, the Courier-Times has
been unable to get an interview f:\vm
my of them. However. \>e did ca: h
er some scattering remark.- as to
what happened to our good friend,
Preston Birdwell, from Elbert l-as
seter.
This paper does >>; vouch for the
absolute truthfulness of the state
ment in every particular, but Elbert
says they happened, and those who
know Mr. Blrdw ell's loyalty to the
"lost cause," will have no difficulty
in believing at least a part of the
statements contained in the follow-
ing.
li seems that Birdwell made the fa
tal mistake of carrying along his
fighting clothes instead of a life pre
server, otherwise reports might have
been different.
He had forgotten the remarks
made by a distinguished citizen of
Texas some years ago concerning cer
tain men who opposed his candidacy,
towit: "that he was going to run
them into the Gulf of Mexico." Any-
how, Elbert says Birdwell was saun-
tering along the beach when, in some
manner, he got into the water. Sev-
eral men had hold of him. They were
ducking him. Birdwell was trying to
talk. Elbert noticed that every time
he got his head above the water, he
would utter the name of some prom-
inent Tyler citizen. Then the men
would souse him under again. Final-
ly Elbert heard one of them say

THE QUESTION.
I called the boy to my knee one day,
And 1 said, "You're Just past foul-;
Will you laugh in thai «une light
hearted way
When you've turned, say thirty-four?
Then I thought of a past I'd tala
erase—
More clouded sklee than blue—
And I anxiously peered in his up-tum
ed face,
For it seemed to say:
"Did you?"
I touched my lips to his tiny own
And I said to the boy, "Heigh, ho!
Those lips are as sweet as the hay,
new mown—
Will you keep them always so?"
Then back from those years came a
rakish song,
With a ribald jest or two—
And I gazed at the child who knew no
wrong,
And I thought he asked:
"Did you?"

Birdwell explains by saying he had

friends, and not one measured up to
the standard.
So far as we know, Birdwell Is the

There were a few other "Insurgents"
