Honey Grove, Texas, Friday, March 16, 1894,
NO. 3
PETTY HAPPENINGS.
The Lamar Co. court house
which was pronounced unsafe a
short time ago, has been repaired
at'a cost of less than one thousand
dollais, and is now considred per-
fectly scure, and as good as new.
Jerry Leveretthas sold has resi-
dence in this place to J. C. Ruth-
erford, and bought Walter Lever-
ett's place.
Mr McCuilough has rented, and
is now occupying the Dr. Cook
property here. vThefce is not an
unoccupied house in town.
Joe Hembree, son of J. F. Hem-
brne, who has been attending
school at Whitewright, is now at
home on a visit. He is in fine
health, and in his uniform,
looks very mucn like a West
Pointer. Joe is a quiet unpret n-
tious young man, a close stu-
dent, and is liked by all.
W. R. Wood, candidate for
County Clprk, was in town Tues-
day forming acquaintance, and
making his wants known to the
people. Mr. Wood is no stranger
to the people of Lamar county, as
he has in the past been honored
with office
Rev. Mr. Mitchell delivered sev-
eral lectures here the past week,
which were very interesting. His
subject, (That bad boy) was han-
dled in a matter which defies dis-
cription. For more than an hour,he
held the audience and seemed to
have peifeet control over all. To
say the people were delighted
would be a mild way to express it.
He denounced the use of whiskey
and tobacco, and particularly is he
down on cigarette smoking, claim-
ing that more evil was resulting
.from smoking cigarettes, than fron
whiskey and tobacco both combin-
ed.
We see the name of Ben Budd
■antrouncedin Hisa. Paris /News, for
Constable of this precinct. Ben is
a good man and citizen, and will
be hard to curry.
Preaching last Sunday by Rev.
Gibson, to a large and appreciative
audience.
The weather • is now beautiful
and springlike and the first tning
on docket is to put the corn crop
of '94 in the ground which will be
almost completed this week, except
there may here and there one who
prefers waiting a little later and
plant in the moon.
The farmers are well up with
their work and are in good health
and full of energy and writh no
providential hindrance we expect
the crop of '94 to be a big one.
As the weather becomes more iav-
orable, you can see loads of plant-
ers, cultivators and other farm
implements going out in every
direction. They mean business
There was a dance at the resi-
dence of J. F. Hembree last week
at which tHe' young folks and some
of the older ones seemed to have a
good time and tripped the fantastic
toe until the hour of midnight.
N. A McClure and family have
been on a visit to his sister, Mrs.
Scruggs who lives in the Maxey
neighborhood.
We have always thought the
'candidates had a hard road to
travel, especially when one under-
takes to canvass closely a county
like Lamar or Fannin,densely pop-
ulated and required to see almost
every man in it, and kiss all the
children. We have wondered how
any man could nerve himself up to
such an undertaking and have and
do yet think that any man with
that amount of backbone ought to
have office. But wre have one
in the canvass that has the amount
of nerve and a little more; he don't
stop at the county lines but has
been known to cross over a little.
As we can hear these things told
on him and he being a particular
friend of ours and fearing he might
be charged with tresspass or greed-
iness, I went to him and stated
'what I had heard. He admitted
the facts and thought it was all
right. He. said he was raised in
the timber and on the farm and
that his daddy taught him in his
early youth that it was a good idea
to deaden a little around the edges.

Rev. A. L. Barr conducted the
services at the open ail* union re-
ligious exercises last Sunday.
A large crowd was in attendance
and the best, of attention given
during the sermon. After the ser-
mon by Mr. Barr, Rev. C. A.
Mitchell, of Marionville, Missouri
gave a lecture to the children which
was well received. The services
will be conducted on next Sunday
by Rev. J. H. Taylor.
Miss Campbell assisted by her
stylish trimmer, Miss Lyon, will
in a few days be ready to offer her
friends and patrons one of the most
elegant lines of millinery ever be-
fore seen in Honey Grove, and
having bought her stock at very
low figures will be able to sell
them cheaper than ever before.
Pattern hats a specialty. She
will be pleased to have her friends
call and be convinced that what
we say is true.
T. U. Cole, alderman of Ward
No. 1, has tendered his resignation
to take effect on the first Monday j
in April. Mr. Cole states as his
reason for resigning that his pri- i
vate business requires all his time j
and he is unable to give the city's j
business the attention it should j
nave from an alderman. In Mr. j
Cole's resignation the city loses
an efficient alderman and we sin-
cerely regret that he cannot find
time to assist this his native city
with his eminent ability as legisla-
tor and financier.
G
W. D. Wilkins at the same old
stand has received this week the
following new lines of extra fine
goods; imported white and fancy
dimities in many different styles
f>nd qualities.
A number of farmers whe have
been holding their cotton for
loriR time became convinced this
week that prices would be do bet-
ter and sold. It is now a settled
iact that people of the interior
cannot tell any more about the
market fluctations in advance than
the average citizen can judge of
Texas weather. Every indication
and condition pointed to better
prices for cotton this season, while
the staple has continued to decline
almost from the season's opening.
