The oil mill has had up steam
for several days, getting the
machinery in readiness for
grinding, which will begin in a
few days. The mill having been
idle for two years, will neces-

be done until the grinding
begins.__

Cyclone Davis Coming.
Cyclone Davis is coming to
Jacksonville on October 24th,
and will make a speech here in
the afternoon, in the interest of
party prohibition. Davis is an
interesting speaker, and will no
doubt attract a large crowd, but
he won’t gain many votes for his
party. We have lots of prohi-
bitionists here, but they are
democratic, republican and popu-
list prohibitionists, and they are
not yet ready to change all their
political views just because of
their opinion on this one subject.
Singing Convention
To the singers and lovers of
music: The Cherokee County
Singing convention will convene
with the Hope; choir at New Hope
church, four miles south-west of
Jacksonville, on the fifth Sunday
in October, embracing Saturday
before. We insist that all choirs
elect and send delegates, with
petitions for next convention.
We wish that everybody would
take a better interest than has
been heretofore. The singing
interest is building up, so come
and be in the front.
J. J. Bolton, President.
J. J. Hollyman, Secretary.
Millinery Opening.
The millinery opening at the
store of H. Getz holds the center
of the stage today, so far as the
ladies are concerned.
Splendid taste has been exer-
cised in the decoration of the
two show windows in front of
the store, the blending of colors
being particularly harmonious
and pleasing to the eye. The
main attraction, however, is to
be found in the rear., where the
new fall hats are being shown.
To attempt a description of these
beauties would be rashness, like
the folly of one who would “paint
the lily.” You must see for
yourself. —Wednesday’s Daily.
Furniture Opening.
Frank Devereux is keeping
open house today, and is making
a special display of furniture,
rugs and iron beds.
The store is arranged in a very
inviting manner, beautifu.1 rugs
and art squares covering the
floor in such profusion that it
seems almost a profanation to
set foot upon so much downy
softness. Rocking chairs,
couches, settees, etc., invite the
weary to rest, with nothing to
disturb their happiness except
the sad reflection that “Home
Ain’t Nothin’ Like This.”
The display does credit to the
store and to the town. It has
been highly complimented by all
who have seen it.—Wednesday’s
Daily.

Death of J. D. Smyrl.
Mr. James D. Smyrl died at
his home in this city at 3 o’clock
this morning, and the funeral
will take place tomorrow morn-
ing at 11 o’clock at the city cem-
etery.
Mr. Smyrl had been sick for
several months, and his death
was no surprise, as his case had
long been regarded as hopeless.
Only a man of very strong con-
stitution could have suffered so
long.
He was one of Cherokee coun-
ty’s oldest citizens, and most of
his life was spent in and near
Larissa and in Jacksonville He
lived at Larissa during its palmy
days, and was a prominent citi-
zen there when that place was
one of the first towns of East
Texas. Of late years his home
has been at Jacksonville, where
he was well known and highly
regarded. He was a member of
the Masonic fraternity and of
the Baptist church, and his life
was a credit to both institutions.
In his death we lose a citizen
whose influence was always for
the right—a man who always
tried to do his duty .to his church
and his country .
He leaves a wife and several
children, and to them the com-
munity extends its sincere sym-
pathies.—Saturday’s Daily.
A Spinster Tea.
Douzaine “Spinsters in good
standing in the community” and
several friends were invited to
spend Thursday afternoon with
Miss Mittie Brown, and right
royally she entertained them.
Ah! where several spinsters
are congregated, ’tis clatter,
clatter, clatter—an instance
where “our faces are our own,
but our backs are our neigh-
bors’.” Novestigeof man was
visible, only in tin, and Daguerre-
otypes—rejected lovers of the
past. Guests were requested to
write why said lovers were re
jected; answers were amusing
Some wTere too bald, while unre-
quited love (on the spinster’s
part) was the answer in most in
stances. Going into the dining
room where were many lovely
ferns, guests were seated ’round
several tables. The menu was va-
ried and provoked much laughter.
Calling for “a Solace,” a glass of
tea appeared—some were fortun-
ate enough to get a spoon and
plate from their menu. Lovely
sherbet and cake were served
Progressive dominoes were play-
ed ’till “the shades of evening
drew nigh,” and a cold wave
blew the spinsters to their re-
spective homes. Reporter.

Another Comparison.
The Banner’s Rusk corres-
pondent gives the cotton receipts
up to Tuesday night as 1208. Up
to the same day and hour Jack-
sonville had received 2474, or
considerably more than two to
one as compared with the re-
ceipts at Rusk.
This bears out our statement
made several days ago that the
reports about the heavy receipts
at Rusk consisted principally of
“hot air.”
Just think about it! After all
the noise that has been made,
and after all the extravagant
claims about the wonderfully
high price that was being paid,
the yard receipts only show a
total of 1208 bales for the sea-
son. That’s not enough to talk
about.___
Bryan=Newton,
At 8:20 o’clock this morning
Miss Mozelle Newton of this city
was married to Mr. A. Wolfe
Bryan of Tenaha, the ceremony
taking place at the residence of
W. A. Newton, the bride’s
father, in the presence of rela-
tives and a few intimate friends.
Rev. S. Park performed the
ceremony, and Miss Gertrude
Steinbraker played the wedding
march. The happy couple left
on the 9:30 I. & G. N. train for
Dallas, where they will spend a
few days with Mr. Bryan’s
relatives, after which they will
leave for St. Louis, and spend a
week or two at the Fair.
Miss Mozelle was born and
reared in Jacksonville, where her
amiable and lovable qualities are
known to all. Mr. Bryan is a
prosperous young merchant of
Tenaha, and comes of a good
family. The two seem peculiarly
suited to each other, and there is
every reason to predict for them
a happy future.
A large number of elegant
wedding presents were received.
The Lord would be pleased if a
lot of people would take the pad-
iocks from their purses and put
them on their lips.

Slappy Peach No Good.
Fred W. Mally, the Garrison
nurseryman, -writes a long arti-
cle to the Nacogdoches Sentinel
concerning the Slappy peach, a
new variety which has been
much advertised in the last three
or four years.
Mr. Mally says that he has ex-
perimented largely with this va-
riety, and has observed the re-
sults obtained by other orchard-
ists, and that his conclusion is
that the Slappy is absolutely no
good for commercial purposes.
The peach is all right in every
way except its bearing qualities,
but is such a shy bearer that it
will prove a loser to every one
who propagates it. Mally says
that he has plenty of young Slap-
py trees to sell if anybody wants
them, but that he can’t advise
any one to buy.
Born, Oct. 8th, to Mr. and
Mrs. Festus Arnwine, a girl.
A revival meeting is to be be-
gun at Reynolds Saturday by
Evangelist Bedichek of the
Christian church. He will be as-
sisted by Prof. M. S. Ruff, his
singer. They have just closed a
meeting at Frankston.
Born, Oct. 10. to Mr. and Mrs.
Tom Still, a boy.

They Always Make Friends.
“Since using one box of Cheat-
ham’s Laxative Tablets we have
been friends. They cured me
promptly and thoroughly of a
bad case of chills. Any one
needing a remedy for malarial
troubles will certainly find them
satisfactory. They are also con-
venient to carry and to take.” ,
