The McKinney Democrat has
entered its 19th year, in a pros-
perous condition aud better thun
ever before. We have known
Editors Thompson, Wilson and
Smith for many years and our
acquaintance with them has made
it easy for us to sincerely wish
them long years of continued
prosperity —McKinney Examiner.
The great problem to be solved
by Piano's citizens seems to be the
"drink" question,and they attend
to it properly. They voted whis-
key out by 221 to 93, and more
water by 97 to 10. Now they are
called upon to help vote whiskey
out of Collin countv, and it will
"shorely be did"—Piano Courier.
The saloon men of Winsboro
have each signed an agreement
not to sell or give away, or per-
mit to be given away, whiskey,
wine, beer or any other intoxi-
cant, and not to allow any person
or persons to enter their respect-
ive places of business on any
Sunday, and in case of any viola-
tion of the provisions of this con-
tract, the firm 9 violating
agrees to pay to the other parties
of the contract the sum of one
hundred dollars as a forfeit. This
is a good step toward the carrying
out of the Sunday laws, and the
liquor dealers of every town in
the state should have a like agree-
ment. ' All liquor dealers at Mt.
Pleasant recently signed a similar
contract.—Pittsburg Enterprise.

Senators Tilman and McLaurin

and required to apologize to the
Senate. They have been suspend-
ed for 20 days during which time
they will be denied the right to
speak or vote as a punishment.
Hon. John R. Smith was hero
Wednesday and stated that ho had
not withdrawn from the senatori-
al race for sure,but owing to some
private financial matters he had
not fully decided just what he
would do and had only expressed
himself in that manner. He how-
ever did not tell us to withdraw
his announcement and stated that
he would be in a postiion within
the next few days to again take up
the subject—Nevada News.
DON'T KILL THE BIRDS.
Capt. T. M. Scott of Melissa
was a ploasant caller at our office
Thursday. He is making a
searching investigation regarding
the habits of birds, especially in
regard to their food proclivities.
During the recent snow and sleet
weather which covercd the earth
entirely, he experimented by feed-
ing the birds in a vacant lot near
his home. The first day he threw
a handful of oats on top of the
snow. A few meadow larks ap-
peared and hulled the grain. The
next day he threw out some more
oats and more birds responded.
The third day he repeated the
feeding and the Hock of birds in-
creased,there being a variety-somo
larks, red birds, sparrows and
other kinds among them. The
fourth day ho continued to witness
an increase of the birds. After
the fifth day the the snow and
sleet disappeared and so did the
birds. They evidently took to
field and wood and preferred
the worm and insect to the grain.
Capt. Scott believes his experi-
ment proves beyond a doubt that
the birds are the planters best
friends inasmuch as- they do not
eat grain so long as they can get
their natural food. Farmers
should use every effort to prevent
their ruthless destruction by oth-
ers. Capt. Scott says that out of
the 75 varieties of hawks in the
United States ho finds only three
of them that do more harm than
good.

Rev.John Carney arrived in the
city Saturday morning to enter
the prohibition campaign. His
Gospel Temperance wagon pre-
ceded him several days. Rev.
Carney is one of the victims
of the attack by liquor
men which took place on the Uain
near*Waco on last Tuesday. He
shows plainly their marks of
violence. Rev. Carney lectured
at Altoga Saturday night and fill-
ed appointments at Bluo Ridge.
In talking to a Democrat reporter
yesterday he gave a minute ac-
count of the attack made on him
and Mr. Cowart.
They spoke in Hubbard city to
a large crowd and took the Cotr-
ton Belt train for Waco. When
near the McLennan and Hill Co.
line two men approachcd them.
One of them said: "Are you the
men who spoke on prohibition in
Hubbard City today?" Mr.
Carney who was lying back on a
chair answered "yes." No soon-
er was the answer made than one
of the men hit him a terrific blow
over the eye, knocking him sense-
less to the floor of the car. He
was pounced upon bv the saloon
man stamped on the face and
head with his heels. At the same
time Cowart who was sitting on
the opposite side of of the car re-
ceived a half doze a blows in quick
succession and was shot at one
time. Cowart is a stronger man
than Carney but the blows badly
disabled him.
After the desperate men relax-
ed their attack on their helpless
victims who were bruised, cut and
bleeding profusoly, they began
derision about as follows, speak-
ing to Carney: "Now you are a
h—1 of a looking fellow to make
a prohibition speech, guess you
will try it again." To Cowart
they said: "Now you are in a
h—I of a shape to siug aint you?"
Mr. Caineysaid that any state-
ment to the effect that ho had
abused or spoken disrespectful of
saloon men's families is false.
Thathe never uttered anything but
words of sympathy for them in
his life.
A largely attended mass meet-
ing was held at Hubbard City,
wherein much feeling was mani-
fested and $500 was subscribed to
aid in prosecuting the offenders.
It seems to us that it is high
time for the law to be vigorously
applied to such characters. Let
us hope that no such intolerance
will break out in this community.

All Stuffed Up
That's the condition of many •offerers
from catarrh, especially in the.morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear-
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taete, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-
ach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh, treatment most be
constitutional—alterative and tonic.
"I was afflicted with catarrh. I took
medicines of different kinds. Hiving each
a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until
I oould hardly hear, taate or smell. I then
concluded to try Hood's Saraaparllla, and
after taking Ave bottles I was cured and
have not had any return of the disease
since." Eugcrk Forbes, Lebanon, Kan.

TEXAS LANDS.
indications for rapid and per-
manent advance in texas
real estate.
There are many indications
pointing to a rapid and perma-
nent advance of lands in almost
all Texas. The recent discoveries
of oil and her rice culture devel-
opments are attracting wide at-
tention throughout all parts of
the the U. S. This in addition to
the reputation she is gaining
from an agricultural and stock-
raising standpoint is sure to bring
a heavy immigration from every-
where, and fortunate indeed is
the roan who invests before the
inevitable advanco. Collin county
lands seem to have reached an
unreasonable price, but we pre-
dict that much higher prices will
yet be seen. And this is not un-
reasonable to expect when it is
considered that lands in Illinois
and Indiana that will produce no
more than ours bring from $75 to
$150 per acre, and have not the
advantago of our genial climate.
In Eastern and Western Texas
there are yet many bargains in
cheap land, but wo do not believe
these opportunities can last much
longer as they aro being rapidly
taken by investors and home-
seekers from the North and East.
We aro receiving numerous in-
quiries from nearly all over the
U. S. for all kinds of Texas
lands. Texas is being advertised
abroad as a result of her great re-
sources at a rate that is sure to
result in a great influx of immi-
gration vand a consequent great
advance in real estate.
We will be glad to confer with
parties wanting tc make invest-
ments in any part of the state.
We have in our office maps and
information concerning lands in
nearly all parts of Texas.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that

Such articles should never bo used

putable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good
you can possibly derive from
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man
