Sept. 1st. George Coffey was a very honest and consrientlous man. His loyalty to the party never wavered, even under the most adverse circumstances. lour years ago he was defeated for the nomination for Recorder, but came up smiling.

Though greatly disappointed, George took his second defeat like a man and the IIekai.d man remembers that on election night, wl.e convinced that he was defeated. lie s.iid to us that he would have to go to work, but if the Lemocratic committee needed his services any where he was ready respond. to the touching part: the evidence that even while in the shadow of death.

D. are imitated by Summer Specials prices lower than notj OTHER of Houston's an nual gatherings lias come and gone, the Old set- tiers met and exchanged friendly greetings, enjoyed a social visit, heard some good addresses and felt better for the recreation. The you ng folks enjoyed the free attractions, the picture show and other concessions, the baseball and basket ball games, the Jemonade and lee cream, the wife-beaters, whips, whistles and confetti and they went home tired but happy. As it has always been, the Reunion was a success. Why Is it a success? Because the people of Houston endeavor to show all visitors a good time; because it is not a money making proposition and the committees expend everything taken in for some entertainment, They pay for the free acts which all can see without cost; they pay for preparation of the grounds, for men to guard and look after the comfort of the crowd, for the arrangement to supply all with good fresh water, for balloon ascensions, for premiums for the old settlers, and for a hundred and one other tilings which are necessary to make the gathering a success.

It is this spirit of not making the Reunion a money affair that has caused the people to come year in and year out and enjoy themselves in the good old-fashioned way. The weather for the three days was ideal. The crowds were hardly as large as heretofore, but taking In consideration the severe drouth this section has undergone ami the fact that the Reunion was iirst set for dates in August, then called oil and later new dates t.et, and it Is no won- der that the attendant fell off to some extent. The committee was unable to get a steam swing after the change of dates and this attraction was greatly missed and commented on. This also caused a falling off in receipts and the expenses of this Re union will lie somewhat in excess of the receipts.

The beautiful, balmy, sunshiny day and the clear moonlight nights made it pleasant and agreeable for every ne and the recent rains made the big gathering almost free from dust, The Summersville Concert Hand was on hand during the three days and, under the leadership of that vet eran musician, l'rof. S. E. Atkisson, rendered excellent music. The first days program began with a band concert on the street and march to the grounds, wlie re the opening prayer was made by Rev.

G. W. Plumb and an address of welcome by Mayor CJeo. R. Com PeKolb Co.

were on for free asts forenoon, afternoon and evening of each day. Thursday afternoon there was niireon shoot by the Houston Gun Club. Another shoot was held Frl day afternoon and the third Saturday- forenoon. These shoots were held in the nasture lust north of the school grounds. In the game of baseball Thursday afternoon Houston defeated Mountain View bv a score of 1 to 0.

This was one of the smoothest, cleanest games ever played on the home grounds and was strictly a pitchers' duel between Ren King, of Houston, and Chat Brown, of Cabool, who was twirling for Mountain View. A single by Leland King followed by a two-bagger by Harry Campbell in the last half of the ninth Inning brought victory for the home The Mountain View boys played a game each afternoon with Houston and Buffered three defeats, but they are a bunch of gentlemen and so conducted themselves while here. Not only that but they are classy ball players and made our boys fight for everything they got. The balloon ascension-Thursday afternoon was not a success, the bag not being well inflated and only rose a little over tho tree-tops. This gave the aeronaut no chance to make his parachute work and he rode the balloon back to the ground, but in the drop Injured himself somewhat, a rib being injured.

McAllister was ready for his ascension next day, but an even greater catastrophe happened that afternoon which to a considerable eitent marred the evening's enjoyment. Instructions had been given a so ed lis was too late to keep hi in from leaving the ground and he could not see his danger. In answer to the cries of spectators he cut his parachute loose wlieu some 40 or 00 feet high and as the parachute failed to open, the aeronaut fell heavily to the ground, striking on his back and the back of his head. Medical attention was at once given the injured man and it was found that besides a gash in his head and the shock of the fall, no bones were broken. He was taken to the home of Hen Johnson and was wild all during the night.

Sunday lie was improved enough to be taken hone and unless there is some internal injury which has not yet developed, It is thought now that he will be out again in a short time. No ascension was made Saturday-evening and McAllister's friends hope lie will give up the business if lie recovers from this fall. The Friday program was opened by prayer by Rev. J. W.

Null, followed by an address by Rev. W. l'lumb. l'rof. J.

O. l'ayne also delivered an address that forenoon, both addresses containing much of interest. The basket ball game between Houston and Ruyinondville resulted iti a victory for the latter team by the score of 1J to 21. In the afternoon addresses were made by Hon. T.

J. Akins, Republican candidate for 1'. S. Senator, and Hon. W.

1. lirfenderiler, Republican candidate fur Congress in this district. Mr. Akins' talk was one of the old fashioned high taritT talki.Udi Republican orators have made for years. Mr.

IitTenderITer seemed be a genteel gentleman but by means a public speaker. The ball game this afternoon to tin suited in another victory for Houston over Mountain View by a score of to 3. IeForest was in the box for Houston and had the opposition at his mercy. Saturday's program was opened by prayer by Rev. J.

L. Haw and ad dresses were made by Hon. Columbus Hradford, Progressive nominee for Congress, and Hon. Robt. Lamar.

Rev. Hradford stated that if he had gone oil In a Rip Van Winkle sleep, slept for twenty rears and woke up hearing Mr. Akins' Republican argument lie would have been convinced that he had slept only a few hours, as it was the same old talk of twenty- years ago. Mr. Lamar bred Democratic shots straight from the gun and was heartily applauded as he made Ills points.

Although without preparation Mr. Lamar made an ex cellent speech and one-that pleased the crowd. In the afternoon the registration ttf Old Settlers, which had been going i) all the time during the three days was closed and the premiums award ed. Th ree hundred and seventy reg- Istered. The oldest settler was Mrs.

W. Thornton, who has lived in Texas county 75 years. She was presented with a handsome leather rocking chair. The oldest man registered was Mr. David Copcland, an uncle of Mrs.

S. E. Atkisson, of Raymondville, who is t7 years of age. lie received nice family Rible. The oldest wo man registered was Mrs.

E. P. Lyles, years oi age, ana she received a set of silver knives and forks. Others registered were older in age and older settlers than those receiv ing premiums, but having been award premiums before, are barred. Wll Goddard claims to be 115 years of age.

The basket ball fame In the after noon between Houston and Raymondville resulted in a score of 40 to 2 in Houston's favor. The baseball game was also another victory for Houston over Mountain View by a score of 6 to 3. Deforest pitched his second game for Houston and was again invincible. And so closed the Old Settlers annual Reunion at Houston in 1914, mirth, happiness, good will and satisfaction prevailing. MOUNTAIN' VIKW LndrOtn.
