news to the many warm friends
of our very efficient postmaster.
Already the joint-keepers are
abroad in the land. It is up to

Here is a newspaper waif, the
author of which is not given ana
the origin of which is not known,
but the Herald endorses every
word of it. It says:
Who is the home merchant?
He is the man who helps pay for
the street upon which you walk;
the schools in which your children
or perhaps you are educated; he
helps keep up the church in which
you worship; he is the man who
builds a houso which adds to the
value of your property; every
subscription paper has his name
on it; he is the very one who can-
not afford to swindle you while
the out of town dealers may; he
bears the burden of good govern-
ment and pays local taxes or per-
haps rent; is a constant patron of
the home, stays with you in adver-
sity and prosperity. — Dcnison
Herald.

We give our readers a partial
report of the primary election.
The returns to far are sufficient
to warrant the announcement
that F. E. Wilcox is elected
county Judge; Clarence Merritt,
county attorney; J. N. Gresham
and J. D. Cottrell, representa-
tives, E. W. Harris, state senator.
W. T. Cox is re-elected district
clerk. Colquitt carried the coun-
ty for railroad commissioner. The
race is close between Gabe Beck
and Tom Beverly for sheriff.
Mort Shirley is in the lead con-
siderably for county'clerk. N.
A. Burton is elected commission-
er for precinct one, while the
race for justice of the peace of
precinct one is between Monroe
Pearce and T. E. Andrews. The
election leaves in its wake disap-
pointment to many candidates
and their friends. We deeply
sympathize with the defeated
candidates. We know the heart-
aches are many that throb be-
neath the withered leaves of
blasted hopes. It i# only tempo-
however. We trust that tv-

An interesting relic of early
days in Texas may bo seen in
Jesse Shain's office where it was
placed on exhibition this morning.
It is a magnificent pair of horns
from n Spanish steer that stocked
Texas ranches before the short
horn and white-faced breeds, so
common on the plains, were in-
troduced by the progressive cattle
kings of today.
The horns measure four feet
from tip to tip, and if straight
would beat that by two feet und
eight inche*. They were grown
by a huge steer belonging to 8,0.
Padgett in Coryell county. The
animal was a work ox which had
made several trips to old Mexico.
Ho weighed 1800 pounds and was
18 years old when he died of old
ago 5 years ago. Mr. Padgett
sent the horns to his nephew J.S.
Padgett, of Parker, this county,
who brought them to town today
and left them with Jesse Shain
for display in his office.,
Mr. Shain will exhibit them at
the St. Louis World's Fair.
Mr. Padgett value* his interest-
ing possession at $500 and says
that he was offered $350 by the
State Fair Association of Texas
last fall.
Texas steer horns have been
known to measure as much «s G
feet from tip to tip, but the most
remarkable feature about this
pair is their size, measuring 15
inches in circumfereuce at the
head.
DEATH'S DOINGS.
A Sure Sign of Kidney
Trouble. Dr. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy will
cure you.
Pain In the back Is a never falling sign
of kidney disease 5 another sure sign Is
the condition of the urine; if you have a
pain in the back then look to the condition
of your urine. Take a glass tumbler and
All it with urine | after It has stood >4
hours, if it has a sediment, If It Is milky or
cloudy, pale or discolored, stringy or ropy,
your kidneys and bladder are In a danger-
ous condition and need im mediate atten-
tion, or the consequences may prove fatal.
P. C. Wilcox of $J9 New Britain ave.,
Hartford, Conn., says:
" I had a frightful pain In my back,
the result of Kidney trouble. My
physician seemed powerless to rtlievo
me. I determined to try Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy; It
helped me wonderfully, and in « short
time cured me completely."
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
Is tho one medicine that really cures all
diseases or the kidneys, liver, bladder and
blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic
constipation. It is wonderful how It
makes that pain In the back disappear,
how it relieves the desire to urinate often,
•specially at night, and drives away that
scalding pain In passing water and makes
you well and strong.

year old son of Mr. andMrs.C.K.

Mrs.Miller is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. D. F, Gerrish and a sis-
ter to Mrs.lverr, A. L. and M. E.
Gerrisli, and came to McKinney
in March with her son in the hope
that tho change would benefit his
health, but the dread disease,
tuberculosis, claimed its victim.
The young man was born and
raised in St. Louis, and had "been
in the employ of the Western Un-
ion Electrical Supply Co., of that
city, for several years, and up to
December wheu he resigned his
position 011 account of his health.
Tho first appearance of the dis-
ease was noted in Septoinber, and
its work was of short duration.
The deceased was a member of
the Second Presbyterian church
of St. Louis, and was noted for
his piety and the fortitude and
resignation with which ho bore
his suffering.
Mrs. Miller left last Saturday
on the 8:46 train for St. Louis
with the remains of her son. Her
brother, Martin Gerrish accom-
panied her. Short religious ser-
vices were held at the residence
before the body was taken to the
station.
Mrs. Miller has visited in Mc-
Kinney several times and has
many friends here who deeply
sympathize with her in this sad
bereavement. Democrat offers
condolence to the familv and rel-
atives.

) There i« more Catarrh in this section
of the country thRri all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable
For a Krent many years doctors pro
nonnced it a local disease, And pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to enre with local treat-
ment, pronounced it incurable. 8ci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti ■
tntional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca-
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J
Cheney & Co,, Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct-
ly on the blood and mucous Burfttce of
the system. They oiler one hundred

Tom Bury lost a valuable milk
cow Sunday which died from
eating poisonous weeds. She
was milked about 9 o'clock by
Mr. Bury and turned out, but
soon afterward came up and was
dead by 10:30 a. m. She was
torribly swollen. Mrs. Hedge-
coxe and A. L. Dunn, in the same
part of town, have cows similarly
affected but no others have died
that we have heard of. Opinion
differs as to what the fatal weed
is. Some pronounce it cockle
burrs while others think it is a
species of dock.
