It is now in hand for Senator
Lloyd to pat himself on the back
—his bill exempting physicians
and surgeons from paying occu-
pation tax has passed the senate.
A fearful cremation occur-
red in Hillsboro on the 27th ult.
The Commercial and Windsor
hotels which were adjacent, were
totally destroyed and two guests,
Ross Leary, aged 28, and an old
man named Grizzard were burn-
ed to a crisp.
A Bill has been introduced in
the senate providing that “all
electors be allowed to yote at
elections as to whether or not
stock shall run at large.” This
privilege would have to be ex-
tended to the four-legged animals
^terested before it could be set-
?d in Cherokee county accord-
|g to the old time Democratic
lie.
Though the word “diversifica-
m” is trite and worn, yet itim-
rnves with age and is still the
^n board leading farmers to fi-
jiiicial gain and to better cir-
[m stances. The word has
jund its echo and is being caught
with all its significance by
[rmers all over the state, and
specially in this immediate vi-
lity. Lands here that for years
id put forth its nourishment to
ie growth of mortgaged cotton,
[few acres of corn and occasion-
|ly a patch of ribbon cane, is now
roducing fruit and vegetables
lat do credit to their section and
lying money to the shipper
trmers who for the past decade
|ad their leger balaui^on the
rrong side^oj^fie^fence by rea-
>n^offt^ir futile efforts to make
"and 4c cotton pay the mort-
gage that was given for the
year’s sustenance while produc-
ing it—these farmers are now
testing the practicability of di-
versification. The adaptability .
of this climate and soil for pro-
lific yields in tomatoes, peaches,
potatoes, cantaloupes, etc., has
been proven beyond a doubt,
and the matter of studying
the markets is now the essential
thing. This is a work of educa-
tion more profitable than the dis-
cussion of politics, says the Dal-,
las News, and it speaks correctly.
There are others. If our ship-
pers were indelibly impressed
with this fact, the returns this
rear would show a different foot-
We refer to the numerous
fry,-mushroom commission com-
panies whose representatives
congested this section last sea-
son. Their soap bubbles' were
pretty and served their purpose,
but those who caught them are
^ary and have learned the need
caution. This class of buy-
may attempt business here
again this season and for this rea-
son we suggest, there are others
—not only other com mission mer-
chants who are responsible and
^have reputation for integrity and
fair dealing, but buyers who
iropose to stand ready with the
eash for truck F. O. B. Jackson-
ville. A letter was received this
reek from a Boston concern that
lad handled some of our ship-
Iments through a St. Louis house.
[They were pleased with the goods
handled and want to do a direct
fss with this section, but
Louis man had informed
Pthathe controlled the busi-
es from this point by previous
mtract. The letter inquires as
the truthfulness of this state-
rment, and asks if cash will buy
produce F. O. B. here. This is
one, but not all, who stand ready
to deal more satisfactorily with
the producer. The matter of rais-
ing a good marketable product is
ere has been con side rabl<
land reports circulated con-
ning the Western Poulty and
me Co.’s dealings with their
consigners. While it is not our
purpose to boost any especial
commission company or to run
down another, yet it is probably
fair to both shipper and buyer to
throw on a little additional light,
as this firm will handle a good
deal of business here this season.
In Rocky Fork, Colo, where the
dishonest dealings are purported
to have been made, the canta-
loupes sold this company were
of poor quality on account of the
heavy rains in the first part of
the season and no rain later on
when it wTas most needed. In
refering to the final settlement
between the melon growers of
that section and the company the
Rocky Fork Enterprise say:
“The members of the Melon
Growers association have cause
for congratulation in the fact of
making a settlement with the
Western P. & G. Co. While the
15000 paid them by Mr. Wetzel
lacked many thousands of reach-
ing the face value of their claim
against him, yet it was as much
as was .faialy due the association
—if not more. When it is con-
sidered that the association did
not ship Mr. Wetzel first class
cantaloupes, as contracted, and
that he lost very heavily on the
entire season’s business on that
account, the final payment of
15000 was liberal on his part.
Change Of Business.
Notice is hereby given that we
have this day sold our entire
stock of dry goods, clothing, etc
to W. L. Black and C. B. Powell,
w7ho will conduct the business in
the future under the firm name
of Black & Powell. In this sale
the stock alone wasJni^ftfSed'^^
we retainjil] njixtfxmts d ue for col-
iection^and assume all present
J' foTifties. We thank our many
customers for their liberal pat-
ronage and recommend the new7
firm for your future wants.
Very {respectfully,
Bolton & Black.
Jan. 20, 1899.
In presenting ourselves before
the public for their patronage we
wish to impress them with the
fact that we have assumed no
accounts of the old firm and you
will not be harrassed by bills
contracted by them. We will
conduct the business at the old
stand and on a strictly cash basis,
and will therefore be enabled to
offer inducements that credit
houses cannot duplicate. We
are yours for cash trade.
Black & Powell.
We use thought and great care in the
tilling of
Prescriptions
and the number of physclans who insist
that the drugs and medicines called tor in
their orders shall be procured here, is
rapidly increasing.
We procure our supplies of drugs from
houses which are noted for the quality of
their goods. We could buy cheaper
elsewhere, but we must have the best.

The house has passed to en-
grossment the bill establishing
an asylum for the epileptic in-
sane to be located at Abilene. It
is thought this measure will be-
come a law7, as it no doubt should.
The present accommodations for
these unfortunate people are in-
sufficient, and it is nothing more
than right that they should be
properly cared for. Abilene of-
fers some big inducements in or-
der to secure the location of thi§
new institution.
Dr. Lloyd’s bill repealing the
occupation tax on physicians has
passed the senate. Terrell has
received a petition signed b}7- fif-
teen citizens of Jacksonville pro-
testing against the passage of
this bill. The petitioners allege
that there is no good reason why
physicians should not pay occu-
pation taxes, as well as members
of other professions.
The house has passed to en-
grossment Ratcliff’s bill, raising
the tax on ten pin alleys from
$100 to $250 a year. The original
bill called for $1000, but this was
reduced by amendment. The
object of the bill is to tax bowding
alleys out of existence.
A lively debate has been going
on in the house over the bill ap-
propriating $18,500 to enable the
railroad commission to resist the
fight now being made on it in the
federal court. It is proposed to
employ Messrs. M. M. Crane and
Tully Fuller as special counsel to
assist the attorney-general, and
to give them a fee of $4000 each
for their services. Another
$4000 is to spent in takino^j£&ti~^
mony^rfipa^iirg other necessary
expenses, and $1500 is to be turn-
ed over to the commission for
the pay of experts and extra em-
ployes who are to assist -in the
collection of evidence to be used
in the suits. The appropriation
is asked for by the commission,
and is approved by the governor
and the attorney-general. It is
evident that the very life of the
commission depends upon a
proper showfing being made in
the trial of these cases, and the
legislature is going to pass the
bill. A great many think that
the attorneys’ fees should be re-
duced to $2500 each, and this may
be done, although it is argued
that owing to the importance of
the suits and the fact that they
will have to be fought through to
the court of last resort, which
may take two years, the fees are
not exorbitant. Crane and Ful-
ler are perhaps better posted on
the suits than any other tw7o law-
yers in the state, for they have
just gone out of the attorney-gen-
eral’s office and have already
given much time and thought to
the state’s side of the-cases. The
railroads will be represented by
a formidable array of legal talent
—the best to be had in the United
States, and it is no time for the
employment of cheap lawyers on
our side. McF.
To the good people of Cherokee and adjoining
counties:
