Dr. Hilton, wounds not serious.

The shooting is the sequel to the
killing on Sept. 18 bere by H. L. Dear
ing. of Robert Mullens, which follow
ed a wedding
On Sept. 17 a Mr Puckett of Tex
arkana arrived in the city to marry
Miss Jesse Stevenson, who was em
ployed in Mtilleas' photograph gallery.
The following morning he called at
tiU studio to see the young lady and
was attacked by Mullens and forced
to flee for his life, leaving his horse
and buggy, Mullens claiming that he
(Mullens) was engaged to the young
lady Puckett returned with City
Marshal Tucker and secured his
horse and was that night married
under the protection of the officers,
takiog the night train for Texarkana
They heard that Mullens intended to
intercept them at a xaiall station sev
era! miles away and asked Marshal
Tucker and Constable Dearing to ac
company th·*» which they did When
the station, which is known u Mc
Murrian. was reached Mullens was on
the platform and was arrested as he
started to board the train and brought
back to this pla*»· where he was re·
leased on bond late in the afternoon.
At 6 ρ m.. Mullens met Constable

Dearljig shot Mullens with a pistol
and the latter died the following
morning.
The Parnell boys were friends of
Mullens and Thomas Newton was a
friend of Dearing Some time ago. it
Is alleged, Newton accused the Par
nell boys of setting Ore to hie house
and a few days afterward Newton
*u stabbed in the back, but by
whom was not determined.
Since the killing of Mullens all par
ties have been going heavily armed.
Thursday morning Jim Paraeil and
Newton had some words but no one
was injured It seems that both fac·

when they met. It was at 4 30 that
Dearing, Tucket and Newton were

Grocery company on the east side of
the square when they met the three
Parnell brothers. Jim Parnell Is said
to have fired at Newton and In an In

"My gun la empty" said Parnell,

FROM THE FIELD.
BY IK II OO I II C 1 HBOiD
FIRST MONDAT AI»D A TRIP TO KSXIB
Monday the sixth of October, was
the blggeat first Monday we have
had in Waxthachie for a year or
more and horse and mule trading
was lively. One man from Texar
kana bought a carload of horses to
ship to that place and another thing,
I think besides horse trading, which
helped to swell the crowd, was the
fact that this was the lent iirst Mon
day that whiskey will be sold.
During this week is the la«t day of
grace for the saloons. They will
close for two years and if at the end
of that time prohibition is the best
for Ellis county it will go on. If at
the end of two years the citizens of
the county think prohibition is not
the west then they will be allowed to
take another vote on it. In a repuf>
lic like the government of the United
.States, and it is given up by the
whole world that ours is the best
government on earth, majorities
must rule. Evers- man has his own
peculiar ideas about each and every
man and each and every question
that from time to time comes up
to be voted on, but when the elec
tions are over for men and measures
coming before us at the different
elections and the citizens cast their
vote and say who they want for
office or what measures or laws shall
l>e adopted then we acquiesce, say
no more and let the majority rule.
Prohibition carried in Ellis county
at the last election by over six
hundred majority and of course
after this week there will be no
more whiskey sold for two years and
now it is the duty of every good
citizen to see to it that the law is en
forced, run down and inform on
every blind ti^er fellow we see and
if at the end of two years the people
are satisfied with a dry county )et it
remain dry, but if not, take another
vote on It.
Monday evening of the last first
ι Monday kinder looked like Christ
mas eve. Many a jug and bottle
full of liquor was packed home on
ι that evening. It was the last call,
and they made use of it. Maybe
one can get used to doing without it,
i if not and we are compelled to have
! some of the article for snakt* bites
I and bad colds and grip we can send
I (iff and jfet forty drops and 1 «uess
when we have to do tfiat we win uec
it more sparingly and make it go
further.
Last week was wet, too wet to
pick cotton or even peddle news
papers and I was kept at home,
t hese number tens of mine fit and
feel better tramping down a cotton
row or along the road than they do
walking· around on brick and cement
sidewalks like they have in axa- j
hachie and other towns. 1 was born
in a log cabin in the midst of a big
cotton plantation, my father emi
grated from South Caroliua to Ala
bama with bis negroes when he was
a young man, married there in Mar
engo county, one of the finest
counties in that grand old state, and
on the farm I first saw the light and
1 still love the farm. I lore to go
among: farmers and see what they
are doing and then tell it.
Last Saturday at 11 o'clock I
boarded the Central train for Ennie.
Several others were aboard and
among theni was D. J. Mitchell of
Alma. He has a son now in a civil
engineer's office in Houston county.
Mr. Mitchell is a painter and he re
marked to methere's no use in saying
a poor boy could not get an educa
tion. He educated this boy and he
has been promoted and now has a
splendid paying job. It takes a boy
with a good head on him and a fairly
good education to fill a civil engi
neer's place and with Trinity Uni
versity in Waxahachie, right here
at the door of every boy and girl in
Ellis countv, I con0dentially expect
to see many of them enter its walls
and under the roof of that magnifi
cent institution of learning 1 expect
to see them educated and prepared
to fill any position in life they wish.
I always have a grand day in En
nie. The citizens from six or eight
different poetofllces in Ellis county
gather there Saturday or at least
quite a number of tbem do and here
1 meet them, get new subscribers
and get pay from those who owe me
for our paper. A man who makes a
good newspaper, gathers all the
news and keeps|up with his collec
tions, has not got to let the grass
grow under his number tens. In
the six years 1 have been in the
newspaper business in Ellis county
I have never yet laid down on our
subscribers and this fail we have re
ceived more compliments than ever
i>eiure. rtuiiureus οι our suoscrioere
have said to me as they paid me for
our paper that the Enterprise ie bet
ter than ever and when a fellow
goes to paying for a thing he and hie
family have been using, right there
and then you get his honest senti
ments, and when these hundreds of
our subscriber s as they hapd me the
money to pay for the paper they and
their good wives and children have
ι been reading for years and say to
me it is better than ever I know
they do not begrudge me the money
ancî this nerves all connected with
our paper to work the harder and
make the paper better each year.
In Ennis when I am hungry Red
Headed Jones usually feeds me and
he did Saturday, but the time before
this that 1 was there, two weeks
ago, Wood Overall, who rune a
grocery store and is doing a splendid
business, led me round to abuilding
where the Kaptist ladies had an ele
gant dinner and there we both, who
are six feet and four inches tail
each, feasted to our heart's content
and when we had finished not a cent
would he let me put up. Wood Is a
clever straight man and I am glad
to see him doing a fine business.
These church dinners are given by
the good ladies of the different
churches and the money they take
in on them is put to good use and
the only thing about Overall and me
patronizing them at one time is they
made nothing off us. C. R. Shaw
subscribed for our paper and sent it
to his father at Terrell, Texas and
hundreds of our papers go out of
Ellin every week to friends through
out Texas and other states. I met
Geo. H. Hogan on tbe street and he
said to me be was coming to Waxa
■MMML _____
their farm· and did not"
Η was or what it was troofi for to
bring a «ample of it to the meeting
th t 5th and oth of November and he,
the grass crank, wonld tell them
what he knew about it. Mr. Hogan
is a horticulturist who ha* studied
grass, flowers aaid fruits for many
years and he now writes every week
on these for the Farm and Ranch.
J. A. Roper, κ freighter at Ennis for
ten years, gave me an apple Satur
day evening that was splendid in
deed and he said he got the trees
from Mr. Hogan many years ago.
A 40 acre orchard of such fruit
would beat anybody's 200 acre black
land cotton farm for making money.
Jim H. Boren, son of Mr. Boren
who is blind, has been for several
I years clerk at Chambers Brothers at
Ennis and recently he bought them
out. Jim is a hustler, a live, clever
young man and he has mad" arrange
ments with Mr. S. 8. Chambers to
ι remain with him. There is no more
popular firm in Ennis than Chambers
I Bros'. grocery store and Jim Boren
will keep her a flying no doubt.
While traveling in the Ghost Hill
country last week 1 called at the
home of Hon. W. L. Wood, who
many years ago represented Ellis
county for two terms in the lower
house of the legislature. He has
cleared and improved a farm in this
thicket and today he has oue of the
prettiest cotton crops in the county.
He is a jolly, jovial man. No soon
er had 1 stopped at his house, late in
the evening, than he called six of
his children, ranging in age from
four to fourteen years, and one of
his little daughters mounted the
[organ stool and the choir they made
would do credit to any church in
Ellis county. He and his cheerful
wife are the parents of a large family,
and I do not know when I have en
[ joyed singing better than I did right
there under Mr. Wood's roof. .Some
of the little fellows had just counein
from picking cotton and naturally
hesitated to come and sing for me,
but to say the least of it, they did j
well and I greatly enjoyed it.
A graduate of the old lin* college·
and universities 1· not *o well all
from · bread winning standpoint M
the young men with a coramoa
[school education rapped off with a·
up-to-date business and shorthand
course. The former has not learned
to do anything in school that a busi
ness man can afiord to pay for. The
latter has. He writes a good, plain,
rapid hand; is qaick and accurate ia
figures, writes 1.10 words of short
hand to the minute, operates th·
typewriter rapidly, can do the
I general work of an effice, including
I bookkeeping, banking, e«rr<»spona
ence, etc.
The graduate of the university
has a certain culture, but it is not
of a marketable kind. He writes a
fearful scrawl, and is proud of it
He can uot even operate a type
writer; he is not ijuick and accurate
in business arithmetic; he r<*t>els at
tfie discipline of the business office
necessary to teach him practical
sense. Many such are too lasy to
w<»rk in office, and too procifi to be
poor.
For those who have- the money
and the time, a university course is
superlatively Kood;ghut it,should al
ways be coupled with a business
training.
From the very nature of the case,
the great mass of humanity can
never take a university course.
They must, at most, content them
selves with a cotfrse that will, iu
the shortest time and at the small
est cost, enable them to make a
competency for themselves and
those dependent upon them.
It is generally conceded that
Tyler College, at Tyler, Texas, is
the very hest place to get such a
course.
The school that teaches young
people to make $.'< wher»» they could
not have made $1 is no less a bless
ing to humanity than the on»· teach
ing conie sections and Sanskrit.
Tyler College is said to be th*
largest school of the kind west of
the Mississippi river, and we be
lieve that it in doing what it pro
fesses to do. it will be clad to send
you large illustrated catalog, free.
