to plant an abundance of corn, and
will also plant what cotton thev

The worst thing about Pants is
that they keep some wife, mother,
or sister constantly sewing rips

the BUCKSKIN BREECHES is
the fact that the buttons stay on

pants last. That's a good while

wear.

School Notes.
The City Public Schools opened
up last week with a very large at-
tendance. Quite a number of new
pupils have entered at both the
Graded and High Schools- The
prospects for a most successful
spring term are very bright. About
all the old pupils are back in
school.
Mr. John M. McDaniel from
Joaquin, Shelby county, has en-
tered the Normal.
Miss Ruth Blanton, ofGlenfawn,
has returned to the Normal school.
Friends and patrons are urged
to visit the schools.
The measles have about sub-
sided, to the great delight of both
teachers and pupils.
Mr. John Ellington, of Shelby-
ville, Texas, has entered the Nor-
mal.
We hear of several young teach-
ers who will enter the Normal
soon.
Mr. Elza Ellington, also of Shel-
by vilie, and a brother of Prof.
Davis, have entered the Normal.
The opening indicates a larger
attendance during the spring term
than ever before enjoyed by our
schools.
"The Monday Moon," a very
newsy and interesting journal,
made its appearance at the High
School last week. The local col-
umn, especially, sparkled with
wit and local happenings, indi-
cating marked talent and much
enterprise on the part of the edi-
tors, and pointing to a most bril-
liant career for the paper; but ow-
ing to the lack of appreciation for
a "good thing" on the part of the
professors the initial "copy" was
confiscated, the editorial staff ad-
journing sine die, non firmus cor-
pus.
Rev. P. N. Bently made the
Normal pupils a good talk Tuesday
which was highly appreciated.
Hope we may haye other talks like
this one.

The readers ot this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the fonndatiou
of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting na-
ture in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer
one Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

Fair Meeting.
Every one, both male and
female, interested in the fair
association should meet the com-
mittee in the Opera house the
15th of this month, when it will be
determined whether or not the
Henderson fair shall be no more.
Let there be a big turn out of the
live people of Henderson—those
who stand for progress—to help the
committee in perpetuating an en-
terprise that has for its object the
development of agricultural and
stockraising in Rusk county. The
ladies who have done so much to-
ward maintaining the fair are es-
pecially invited. It has been de-
cided by the management that
races will no longer be one of the
features of the fair, but that more
attention will be given to the en-
couragement of agricultural,
horticulture, art and other features
that tend altogether to the eleva-
tion of all the people.

today. We offer same for
the next 30 days at mark-
ed cost. This stock will
be closed out at the Nadel

Rusk County Cotton Hill.
Everybody in Rusk county
should come to Henderson and
attend the cotton mill meeting at
the Court House on Saturday,
January 13th, 1900. What is go
ing to be done in regard to erect-
ing a cotton factory in Henderson
must be accomplished at once or
other near by cities of less impor-
tance will step in. The cotton
mill, from present indications, is
an assured success. It is fully ex-
pected that the amount necessary
to complete it will be raised at the
next meeting Every present
stock holder and all who will take
stock between now and the meet-
ing are urgently requested to be on
hand at our next meeting, Tanuary
13th. as we want to organize and
move right along with it.
For tax collector of Rusk county
The Times is authorized to
announce Jas. Whitfield subject
to the action of the democratic
party. Mr. Whitfield is no stran-
ger to the people of this county,
his entire life from his early boy-
hood having been spent here with
the exception of four years' service
in the war. His record as a
private citizen and office holder is
without blot or blemish, and his
efficiency, promptness and fidelity
in the discharge of his official
duties are unquestioned. He is
particularly careful in making out
his reports, and is always on the
look-out for persons subject to
occupation taxes, under the laws
of Texas. His past record and
his reputation for honesty and
devotion to whatever trust has
been confided to him are a guar-
antee that the people can rest as-
sured that the business of this im-
portant office in his hands will be
scrupulously looked after.
Persons who lead a life of ex-
posure are subject to rheumatism,
neuralgia and lumbago, will find
a valuable remedy in ballard's
snow liniment; it will banish
pains and subdue inflammation.
Price 25 and 50 cents. Sold by T.
E. Hightower. im.
Mr." Chas. Stewart requests The
Times to state that he is underlast-
ing obligations to the good people
of Rusk county for a liberal part
of their patronage; that he will
continue to be found at the old
stand with a good stock of fresh
drugs, toilet articles, drug
sundries, school books, and every
thing else in the drug line; and
that while he extends unbounded
thanks for past favors, he will be
found sparing no pains to hold the
confidence of his customers by giv-
ing them the very best goods for
the least money.
The lesson taught by the great
play, Faust, is more lasting than
any sermon eyer preached. No
one ever witnessed it without
going away determined to be a
better man. It is endorsed by
the leading clergy of our coun-
try.
Have you seen the devil in
Faust? Opera House, Jan. 16th.
Since the Rusk County News
does not know the first day of the
week, no one need be surprised
that it favors the gold standard
and expansion.

A. J. SMITH.
Judge A. J. Smith, who died at
his home in Overton Dec. 30th,
1 §99, was born in Pike county,
Tennessee, September, 1827. He
came to Texas in 1837, with his
father, Gen. Smith, who with a
large family, settled in Nacogdo-
ches county, near the present coun-
ty seat After remaining there a
few years the family moved to
Rusk county and settled near
where Sen tell now lives, there
being at that time no such town as
Henderson and but few white per-
sons living north of Nacogdoches.
He grew to manhood with the
barest opportunities of obtaining
an education. While the new
country afforded unexplored fields,
boundless in extent and rich in ad-
venture, and fascinating beyond
description to the pioneer, yet the
school house, the field, the or-
chard, the cottage, and the house
of worship, existed only in the
minds of the brave fathers and
mothers who were busy protecting
themselves and their children from
savages. Under such unfavorable
conditions it would not be strange
for boys to grow to manhood with-
out any knowledge of books be-
yond the mere ability to read and
write. But it was not the case
with Jack Smith. He fitted him-
self for the needs of his time, and
was merchant, surveyor, tavern-
keeper, magistrate and sheriff be-
fore he was forty years of age. He
was married early in life to Miss
Mary Wadsworth, a member of an-
other noted pioneer family. There
is no doubt that this good woman
was an important factor in assist-
ing him to rise above the evil temp-
tations that filled the pathway of
the early pioneers; and she it was,
by her loving kindness and tender
devotion to home and duty, became
instrumental in bringing out and
developing his higher traits of char-
acter and which adorned his life in
mature years and enabled him to
master the passions that dominated
the career of so many of the able
and daring spirits of that day. Af-
ter the war he was for a number of
years engaged in the milling busi-
ness, at Bethel. Some time in the
'70's he was elected county judge
and for many years thereafter he
filled that place to the entire satis-
faction of his constituency, and
when the office passed from his
hands there was no stain upon it,
and the escutcheon that had al-
ways shielded Jack Smith was
without blot or blemish. Several
years after the death of his first
wife he married Mrs. Mayfield of
Overton, and when his political
career was over, he moved to Over-
ton, where he engaged in the mer-
cantile business and pursued it till
his death. He was a devout chris-
tian, haying been a member of the
M. E. church since his early man
hood. He was a Royal Arch Ma-
son, and under the auspices of that
honorable and ancient order, his
remains were laid to rest in the
Overton Cemetery. Referring to
his lite, a few days ago, the Hon.
C. J. Garrison, who was many
years a partner in business with
Judge Smith and who has known
him intimately for many years, re
marked to the writer: "Jack Smith
was as honest a man as ever lived.
He was truly a good man. He
was charitable, never turning a
deaf ear to those in want or in dis-
tress. He was a christian."
