SPEECH IN JOHN-
SON'S FAVOR
J. R. Warren of Gilmer, Upshur Coun-
ty Spoke Monday Night
at Tabernacle.
On last Monday night Judge
J. R. Warren of Gilmer, formerly
of Albany, spoke to small crowd
at the tabernacle advocating
Cone Johnson for governor of
Texas. Nr. Warren gave briefly
the platforms of the four candi-
dates then he discussed more at
length the vital differences of
Mr. Johnson's and Mr. Poindex-
ter's platforms. His theme was
that if the prohibitionists divide
Colquitt will beat them and that
the logical candidate for them to
concentrate their forces on is
Cone Johnson. Mr. Warren
believes the race has now nar-
rowed down to Johnson and
Colquitt.

enjoyed a picnic given in honor
of the visjting young ladies,

inviting and the moonlight falls
at just the right angle. When

Ii is the season when folks
want to get out of town, if but
for a day, and try to find a cool
green spot, where they may rest
in comfort and forget for a time
On Friday the families of
Messrs. L. H. Hill, G. C. King,
Mrs. Ewing and Mr. McLemore,
enjoyed a pleasant little outing
ou the creek at the McLemore
ranch. The men hauled seine
with good results and Matthew
and Delia were along to take
care of the fish. The party re^
ported an exceedingly pleasant
day.
A disembodied soul that during
its earthly incarnation had had
troubles of its own descended
into Hades. In its new embodi-
ment it was strolling along with
a rather pompous air, when it
met His Satanic Majesty.
"You act as if you were the
owner of this place," observed
the soverign.
"I ought to be," replied the
new arrival, airily; "my wife
was giving it to me right along."

An engine pulling an eastward
bound freight left the track
when about four miles from Al-
bany Saturday afternoon, and
plowed into a neighboring em-
bankment. Spreading rails was
the cause. The engineer saw
the danger in time to throw on
the brakes and jump. There
was no one injured. Trains were
delayed several hours in passing,
but the road was soon cleared.
B. P. MADDOX
Candidate for Re-election for Rep-
resentative of the 84th District

A night clerk in a hotel sat
dozing at his desk at about one
a. m., when a man in evening
clothes came in as if laborousfy
trying to walk a crack, and said:
"I'm Ferguson; key to room
44."
The guest disappeared in the
direction of his room, one flight
up. -In a few minutes a man in
his shirt sleeves, with a flattened
silk hat on the side of his head,
and with one shoe on a foot and
the other in hand, came in and
said to the clerk:
"I'm Fershon; key tofor-for."
"Mr. Fergugon just took his
key and went up."
"Mr. Fershun just fell out
window 'n' left key inside.
Kindly lemme have 'nother,"—
