1 THE 1914 wheat crop is estimated at 900,000,000 bushels. CABOOL will vote on the proposition of granting franchise for electric lights June 15th. FRANK E. DUBOIS, who gave his address at Cabool, filed his declaration of candidacy for Representative on the Progressive ticket, but his tiling was too late to get his name on the ticket. OUR Republican friends don't seem very anxious for political favors at the hands of their party in Texas county this year.

Only three filed declaration of candidacy -Buck for Judge Eastern District, Seburn for Judge Western District, and Beale for Recordor. There may be a little rivalry for this last named place, which is also desired by John W. Grisham, that hustling young Republican from Elk Creek. A LIST of candidates filed will be found in another column in this issue, the filing date having closed last Friday. All the Democratic candidates heretofore announced filed except Judge Henry Thrasher, who was a candidate for Judge in Eastern District, and Al Stewart, who was a didate for Constable of Piney township, and T.

B. Carmical, who had announced his withdrawal from the race for Circuit Clerk last week. THE Republicans have filed no candidate for congress in the Sixteenth District. Those filed are Thos. L.

Rubey, Democrat, of Lebanon; Columbus Bradford, Progressive, Kinderpost; Henry M. Fouty, Socialist, Mountain Grove. Three Democrats filed for U. S. Senator: William J.

Stone, Jefferson City: William H. Wallace, Kansas City; John M. Dawson, Kahoka. The Republicans are Politte Elvins, of Elvins, and Thomas J. Akins, of St.

Louis. THE Mexican situation seems to be up one side and down the other and now the mediation proceedings promise a successful determination of their deliberations. The plan is to establish a provisional government which would conduct a popular election of permanent officials. If America can succeed 111 bringing peace and some semblance of order out of the chaotic condition existing in Mexico it will have done a magnificent work in the interest of humanity. Hartshorn.

BY TIP TOP We had a tine rain here last Saturday and Sunday, but other parts of the country are needing rain badly. Crops over here in the path of the last shower are looking tine. Oliver Miller, candidate for Circuit Clerk, was in the Horn the first of the week asking the voters to give him their support. He seemed to make a good impression on the voters wher. ever he went.

H. Green are visiting their daughter, Mrs. Mayfield, at this place. The old man's health is improving since he has been out here breathing the pure mountain air. Road Overseer Pitts is doing some good and badly needed work on the road south of town.

W. A. Dodson, candidate for Recorder, was in the Horn the first of the week. There had been a mistake in Mr. Dodson's identity.

As soon as W. A. came to town we all saw our mistake and took back all we had sald and wished we had said more to take back. W. A.

went on his way rejoicing that he was not the other fellow. We made a flying visit last week to Piney river beyond Houston and on the route we saw the best fields of wheat we ever saw in Texas county. Corn looked fine, but oats are a little short. Our boys matched a game of ball here last Sunday with the Possum Trot team, but a shower of rain put a stop to the game and it was decided that our boys would go to Possum Trot next Sunday and have the game out. It will be a hard battle for both teams are determined to win.
