Fudge and His Chickens.
According to promise I owe Inno
cence a statement of my poultry
succès» When I say "my" I mean
myself and wife. It will be remem
bered that last year 1 told your re
porter that 1 had sold $75 worth of
poultry product^ and la'er told In
nocence that 1 could do the same
thing over, and if I did the readers
of your good paper should know of
it. So $75 is all 1 can say I have
sold this year. Had I sold more I
would say so for you never saw a
chicken crank that didn't like to
brair. Right here while I am on the
brag subject will say that I do not
think it will be long untij I will be
the only chicken raiser in this part
of the country as I'ucle Snort has
giv^n me so mucn good advice lately
that with the good sense 1 have had
all the time 1 can surely make a
hummer. I met I'ncle Snort the'
other day stalled in the middle of the j
road. I was sure when 1 drov·· up
that he would say: "Poor old horse,
he is too poor to pull a buggy,'' hut
instead h»· reached in the back of !
the buggy, pulled up u fine, larg»»
rooster and said: "See here, Fudge,
j>eople don't do me ritrl » They
talk about my chick· :is an I here I
am stall*'! >nd cai't ^>-t τ·ι market
with one, it is so larg»·, and I can ,
remember when people won I I carry
half h dw.-n turkeys in ;» bugiry and
not get stuck " I won't say what 1
thoght, but then and there 1 resolved
to raise double the amount "f poul
try this year than I did last. You
see we have a Jarire incubator and |
plenty ui laying stock >n liami, and :
knowledge such as hae b»-en fur
nished me by I'ncle Snort, with one
of his bib apron h and a half bushel
of lime and a year-before-last
broom, then whitewash everything
on the place even to the soap stack,
and I am surely in good shape to
raine $1.*ι0 worth of chicken produce
this year. Yours for better times
and finer poultry, D. S. Fi lh.k.

The final report was submitted to

almost a counterpart of the one
made by the grand jury of the De

To the Hon. J. E. Pillard, Judge
of the 40th Judicial District of
Texas :
Sir We, your grand jury, select

the grand
-four bills
We have been in session trurty
one days since the date of our im
panelinent. During this time we is
sued 59!) subpoenas, and have exam
ed Λ31 witnesses. We have return
ed lUS true bills, there being of this
number 9 felonies and 99 misde
meanors. We have visited the
county jail and county farm and
have the following report and sug
gestions to offer concering same:
We found tne jail in a cleanly and
sanitary condition and the prisoners
well cartd for. We commend the
sheriff and each of his deputies for
their faithfulness to duty. We rec
ommend that if,the prisoners at the
jail cannot havi but two meals each
day that they should have these at
morning and night instead of morn
ing and noon. We found the coun
ty farm in good condition, the pris
oners being w^ll cared for, and all
the buildings in a sanitary condi
tion, for which we commend Mr.
Forbes.
We would respectfully call the at
tention of the commissioners court
to the fact that there should be more
cultivators and modern implements
on the farm, and also that the jail
at the farm should be enlarged so
that the white and colored prison
ers would not be compelled to sleep
together.
We have examined the court
house and find that the plaster is
falling off, caused from leaks. We
would respectfully, but earnestly,
recommend that this be attended to
at once. We wish to commend Mr.
(iodfrey for the clean condition of
the entire building.
We find it necessary to call the
attention of parents in towns to the
conduct of their boys under the age
of 1Γ» and lii years, in reference to
petty thieving and riding trains in
the yards
We wish to commend the citizens
of the county for observing and re
specting the local option law, as we
find they do upon close investiga
tion.
We would also call the attention
<>f d'-alers to the fact that they
should not sell prohibited articles
on Sunday, tt is being contrary to
the law.
Wf wish to rail attention <Ί tb·
public to the fact we have been
lenient with those who were sum
moned and did not appear, on ac
count 'if the very had condition of
the road*, but wish to warn them
against such conduct in the future.
We hejf leave to call the attention
of th* commissioners' court to the
treatment of prisoners at their re
spective road ramps, and protect
them a/ainst inhuman treatment
by the foremen or guards of such
campe.
We wish to extend to the sheriff

our thank* and commendation for
the promptness and taithfuln· im
with which tliev have nerved us.
We wish to commend our able

A Sure Thing.
It is said that nothing is sure ex
cept death and taxes, but that is
not altogether true. Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption is
a sure cur·· for ail lung and throat
trouble·. Thousands can testify to
that. Mis. C. B. Van Metre, of
Shepherdtown, W. Ya., says, "I
had a severe case of Krouchiiis and
for a year tried everything I heard
of, hut got tio relief. One bottle of
Dr. King's New Discovery then
cared me absolutely." it's infalli
ble for Croup, Whooping Cough,

FROM THE FIELD.
BY INNOCKNCE AHBOAD.
In ray trip last week the printer
made me say Mr. Powell was iner i
chandieing at Henry when it should
have been Pannell. When I am
away, like 1 was when last week's
paper went to press, the printers
sometimes gets the names of people
1 meet on my trips mixed up. I
know almost every man in Kllis
county, and while 1 cannot some
times caii tiis name when 1 first ^et
to him, >can brt yourbottom
dollar before I leave mm I know his
name, who he is, what he is, where
he is, what he lias got, what he is
Koing to have and can give a good
guuss, if I were so disposed, as to
where he will land in thenex,t world,
but my business is only to tell of a
fellow as 1 find him circulating here
on this mundane sphere and I dolove
to tell the good points of a man or
woman. We all have ttiem and this
good side of our nature is the one
we should cultivate.
Τυ the new town in the western
part of the county, 1 went taut week
atul out three miles west ot Waxa
hachie, Drew High with two spans
of tine mules was putting hie land in
good shape. He owns ·\ splendid,
well improved farm out here. On
west J strike D. Hopper plowing his
crop on the Coleman farm and Mr
Matthews, who for several yearn !
rented on the Coleman farm, sold |
out and moved off two years ago, ;
but he never rested till he got back I
and now he and his family are happy.
On west 1 begin to strike the wheat
fields and they are sadly in need of
raiu. At Mrs. Sam <·. Curry's 1
stopped. She and her son and
daughter own a splendid farm out
here. Her daughter recently mar
ried Mr. Keys and now she and her i
son hold down the larm alone, with |
her part of it rented. Her son al
though a cripple, is like all this big
family of Curry's, a good rustler.
I'ncle Wat Curry, who has been
Wind for twenty-five years, and his,
son Heury, own a good farm out]
here and have one hundred acres in
wheat and a part of it, close by his
house, looked well, lode Wat is
one of the most cheerful men I ever j
met. Hecame from our good oKt '
state of Arkansas; raised a larg>
fatmiy, and most of them, except
Alex Curry, live here in Kllis (.
and they are ail good citizens, lie
contracted neuralgia in the artny
which settled in his eyes and final.y
put them out. Henry, his eon is a
good rustler and was out the morn
ing 1 stopped there buying cattle.
S. Bishop own» a well improved
farm next, he is now agent for a
fruit tree nursery and larvels most
of his time, and his wife said he
was succeeding well. He and his
hrotfcer, R. 1. Mishop, marri d sis
i. rs and thev live in the home to
gether. One carries on the farm
and the other sells fruit trees. Rev.
Morris live» next, lie owns six or
seven hundred acres out here and is
an old settler in this section of the
county.
On to Oak, Dr. Fields and his
brother own a itenerai merchandise
store there and have a splendid
trade. The doctor lost his wife sev
eral years ago and last winter went
back to his old home in Mississippi
and married a splendid lady who
was a half sister to his first wife.
The doctor remarked that that old
gentleman in Mississippi had been
good to him, giving him two of his
daughters. 1 wo blacksmith shops
at Oak and J. M. Harwell also has
a store and keeps the post office.
Dr. Fields fias a fine practice in ail
the surrounding country and showed
me a letter from Cleburne In which
he was urged to go ttiere, but said
he expected to stay here with hi»
intMuiti. t ucie Asa My h u m rune
away when I goto Oak, twic* n«>»·
1 have mined him. H* haw u fin··
(arm out here that inak··» bin living
and tin is a happy contented man.
Hud Watson ana his brother J. M.
own .VKJ or 000 acre* out here that
elteiide over into the valley A
line larin several hundred in pasture
on wnleh κγμ» sotne Mue cattle.
Bud Watson is the man who, unfor
tunately, several years ax", had to
kill a man out here on his farm and
was promptly cleared hy (waive
jurors.
