touched aud little prospects for

come before the
Ex—Gov. Party of Indiana has
declined to acept tho nomination
for govenor on the republican
ticket which has caused much un-
easiness among republicans.
Porter is the strongest man in
the party in Indaua. His decli-
nation is taken to mean that he is
afraid to enter the race, knowing
he will be defeated and that Har-
rison’s candidacy can not help
him.
One of the fugitive negro of-
ficials of Crittenden county, Ar-
kansas, turned up in St. Louis,
and beiug questioned as to his in-
tentions for the future, said: “I
shall not return to Crittenden; it
ih not a healthy place to live.
The cause of the trouble there
was that the whites did not want
the negroes to hold office.” This
darky sizes up the true sitnation.
—Waco Day. _
Still needing rain.
Everybody sick or complaining.
I. P. and E. B. Sebastian made a
trip to Dallas county last week, and
was accompanied home by Miss
Amanda Foster, niece of Mrs. E. B.
Sebastian.
Quite a number of Mustangitos at-
tended camp-meeting at Good Hope
Sunday. Among them were Misses
Kate Crutchfield, Effie Julian* and
Mr. Bob Julian, yes( and Mr. Ratch-
ford went via. Coliua, rather out of
the way to go that way, but he does
not know the uear way yet. It
would probably be to some one’s in-
terest to learn him a nearer way
than by Celina.
The social at J. N. Rayzor’s, Fri-
day evening was much enjoyed by
all present.
George Light lias gone to Eureka
Springs, Arkansas, for his health.
We do not know whether it is fancy
or truth, but we are inclined to be-
lieve it is the latter. A certain
young lady is lonely since his de-
parture.
Mrs. Crutchfield visited at Pilot
Point last week, returned home
lication by that name and is mer-
ged into the Prohibition Advo-
of Dallas, and Dr. Cranfill sur-
renders his proprietary in the
consolidated journal. Rey. Mr.
Haggard, formerly editor and
publisher of the Prohibition Ad-
vocate, has also withdrawn, leav-
ing the new publication in entire-
ly new hands. Dr. Cranfill wiH
retain nis connection with the
Advocate, not as editor,but as a
contributor.
The Waco Advance ceases pub- Thursday, accompanied by Miss
Willie lleam, who returned home
Friday, accompanied by Lucy
Crutchfield.
Messrs. Ed Peel and Will Burks
visited somewhere in this vicinity
last Sunday. Wonder why Pilot
Point will allow its boys to go so
far from hoftie? Somebody objects.
Tho irrcslstablo—John Nance, of
Parvin, visited the family of J. B.
Sebastian last Saturday night aud
Sunday. He wont to—home in the
evening. Also Baxter Wilson, of
Elm Ridge was visiting at the sxmo
place, but not places.
J. P. Sebastian, accompanied by
his wife and Mrs. Robins, visited
the family of I. C. King at Parvin
last Wednesday.
Your correspondent had the pleas-
ure, last Saturday, of meeting with
our old Georgia friend, Mrs. T. F.
Simmons, oA£alhoun, Ga. She was
accompaiupu by her son, J. J. Sim-
mons, of Dallas, Texas; also several
other Georgians (did not learn their
names) came with Mrs. Simmons.
Wo extend to them a hearty wel-
oome to our “Lone Star” state.
Prof. J. N. Raysor will not teach
a summer school at this place.
The New York Daily Graphic has
started a new feature, “Our Poet's
Corner," and, as The Graphic announ-
ces, "the department is expressly de-
signed for the profit and celebration
of our poetic contributors," in which
is intended to publish all the verses
sent that paper. This is, we be-
lieve, the first attempt of any motro-
politian daily to encourage the deve-
lopment of American poetical genius
and certainly "fill a long felt want" as
well as increasing the already exceed-
ingly, great popularity of The Graph-
ic.
Here is an opportunity for our local
poets to become celebrated by sending
their effusions written on one side of
the sheet to the Poetry Editor of The
Graphic, New York.
