Ansel W. Gibson Ann unces.
The Democrat is authorized in
this week's issue to announce
Ansel "IV. Gibson of Rogers,,
as a candidate from Bell county,
for the State Legislature in Class
No. 2. Mr. Gibson is a native of
Georgia where he was born fifty
two years ago. In the year 1*71,
then but a lad, he moved to Texas
with his parents. They located
in Bell county. Since then he
has uninterruptedly lived in this
and in Milam county near the
boundary line. His education,
aside from that which comes
from individual efforts, study
and experience, was had in t>he
common schools, begining in
Georgia and finishing when he
graduated in the Gilmer High
School in 1872. He represents
the type we know as self made
men. In his younger days he fol-
lowed railroading in the section
gangs working for the Santa Pe
railroad, finally reaching the
position of foreman and as such
had headquarters at Heidenheim-
er, Killeen and other points on
that line. He has been, for
twenty years and more a farmer,
in this section,and such he is now,
while at the same time, giving
attention to his splendid law
practice at Rogers. Mr. Gibson
has never been an aspirant for
political honors in the strict
sense of the term. In 1894 he
was overwhelmingly elected to
the office of .1 ustice of the Peace
at Buckliolts and served two
years as such with credit to him-
self. During all that time he as-
sidiously studied law, and in
189(3, was admitted to the bar,
since which time, lie has prac-
ticed extensively in Bell and Mi-
lam county courts. He has been
a close student of political econo-
my and thereby has a wide
knowledge of the needs of all
classes.
In 1888 Mr. Gibson was dele-
gate to the Parmers' Alliance in
convention at Memphis, Tenn.,
and served on important commit-
tees. Previous to that time, he
was a member of the committee
"Por the Good of the Order,"
most important in the Farmers'
Alliance of that period. In 1896
without being present at the con-
vention or being consulted be-
forehand, Mr. Gibson was ten-
dered the nomination for the
State Legislature from the Popu-
list party in Milam county.
This honor he was forced to de-
cline. for business and other suf-
ficient reasons.
Kodol is today the best known and
most reliable remedy ror all disorders
of the stomach, such as dyspepsia,
heart burn, sour stomach and belch-

juices found in a healthy stomach.
Kodol is pleasant to take. It is guar-
anteed to give relief and is sold here
by Helton Drug Company.

ITSAVED MY LIFE-
WRITES ECZEMA PATIENT
Bed-ridden Sufferer Completely Cured
by use of D. D. D. External Wash.
One of the most remarkable
eczema cures recently credited
to the well known D. D. D. Pre-
scription has just been recorded
in Chicago.
Mrs. E.^Hegg, 1550 West Mad
ison street, under date of Dec.
9, 1907, writes as follows:
"I suffered three years with
Weoping Eczema. It started
with a little spot on my knees
and spread fas!t over my whole
body. I spent hundreds of dol-
lars and went to every good doc-
tor I heard of, but kept getting
worse. Nothing woold stop the
awful itch and burning.
"I had to stay in bed from the
middle of May to the middle Of
July. Then I tried D. D. D. Pre-
scription. This is the 9th of Dec-
ember and I am entirely free
from the terrible disease. D. D.
D. saved my life.
"When I began this treatment,
people were afraid of me I looked
so terrible. My husband was
the only one who would take care
of me. D. D. D. stopped the itch
at once so I could sleep, which I
had not done before. Then I be-
gan to get better fast and now
my skin is clear and white, not a
spot anywhere."
Just a few drops of D. D. D.
Prescription applied to the skin
brings relie—nothing to swallow
or drink. We vouch for D. D. D.
Prescription, also the cleansing
D. D. D. Soap Hunter & Free-
man. Get a bottle today if you
haye any skin disease. Begin
your cure at once.
John Absher left Tuesday
night for a short visit to his
children at Ft. Worth.
Beltan'i Fire Fighters.
On last Friday night the Bel
^ton Fire Department met at the
station and enjoyed an evening
all to themselves, except a lim-
ited few who were endowed with
the instincts of a William goat,
one of whom was the editor of
the Democrat, but the boys
cheerfully excused the intrusion
on the ground that all success-
ful newspaper reporters are
supposed to be akin to the
'"Billy" family. The occasion
was given in honor of the newly
elected officers of the depart-
ment, and a splendid crowd of
jolly fellows enjoyed the typical
"dutch lunch," and impromptu
t<illis. The newly elected of-
licers all responded to calls and
made fitting and appropriate re!
marks to the encouragement of
the fire boys. Taylor Mays in
his inimitable manner furnished
the fun for the boys with his in-
teresting specialties. His ad-
dress in the dutch dialect was
the occasion of vociferous ap-
plause and laughter. The fire-
men quartette furnished some
splendid entertainment, as did
Fort Downs' buck and wing
dancing. Mr. Downs cannot be
classed as an amateur, his spec-
ialties being very original and
well executed, however he is
not, and never has been, in the
professional class.
Little Puddy, the juven-
ile fireman, entertained the boys
with a well delivered recitation,
and the crowd attested their in-
terest in vigorous applause.
Just a word in this connec-
tion, in regard to the import-
ance of this department to
any town or city, may not be
amiss. Few people realize the
protection they receive from
the fire lads. While the people
are not slow to reward merit,
they do not stop to think how
much responsibility rests upon
the boys who brave all kinds
of dangers in the protection
of life and property. While
you sleep the vigilance of this
department is keeping watch
over your life and your property.
The Belton department is a vol-
unteer organization and there-
fore a labor of love. Not only
do these boys answer calls in all
kinds of disagreeable weather,
in the dead hours of the night,
but go down into their pockets
for dues and donations to keep
the efficiency of the department
in the best of shape. As a slight
compensation, or rather rec g-
nition, the people of Belton
should set apart one day in the
spring of the ;year and give the
boys an outing in the nature of
a basket dinner. To say the
least of it this would be very ap-
propriate.
Returning to Friday night's
event, the Democrat extends
its congratulations to the Belton
Fire Department and wishes it
every success, and particularly
in their undertakings at the
firemen's convention at Waco in
May, and hopes the boys will
capture all the prizes and feels
sure that their sponsor will be
crowned"Oueen" of the firemen's
carnival at the convention. Here's
to your health, boys.
A
Do Not Crowd the Season.
The first warm days of spring bring:
with them a desire to get out and enjoy
the exhiliating air and sunshine. Chil-
dren that have been housed up all
winter are brought out and you won-
der where they all came from. The
heavy winter clothing is thrown aside
and many shed their flanels. Then a
cold wave comes and people, say that
grip is epidemic. Colds at this season
are even more dangerous than in mid-
winter, as there is much more danger
of pneumonia. Take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, however, and you
will have nothing to fear. It always
cures, and we have never known a cold
to result in pneumonia when it was
used, It it pleasant and safe to take.
Children like it. For sale by all drug-
gists. _
