Van Alstyne advertised a two picnic for August 6th and 7th.

Welt the picnic has come and gone and it is not necessary for the News to say that it was a grand success. The thousands who attended will testify to that. Even Whitewright was here in large numbers, supplemented by her base ball team from all over Texas and part of the Indian territory. people enjoy an occasional outing where they can rest in the shades of the stately oaks in social converse with old friends and acquaintances and watch the happy faces of the little ones as they go merrily around to the music of the flying jenney and listen to the titter of the spooney young couple as they draw off a glass of lemonade through, to say nothing of many other pleasing incidents that are always numerous on such occasion. It is refreshing to both the body and mind to attend these occasions and the man who could not enjoy them should establish a hermitage and forever isolate himself from the world.

The other woman, with heart of flame, Went mad for a love that marred her name; And out of the grave of her murdered faith She rose like a soul that had passed through death Her aims are noble, her pity so broad, It covers the world like the mercy of God, A soother of discord, a healer of woes, Peace follows her footsteps wherever she goes.

As the lands have not yet been surveyed or appraised all applications to lease are rejected. The following circular letter being sent out by Secretary Houston gives all the information any person can get by a trip to the office: to your recent inquiry concerning the leasing of school lands in the Ktowa, Comanche and Wichita Indian reservations, I have to advise you: school lands will not be for lease until after the country is opened for settlement and the lands appraised. Four of land, viz: Sections 16 and 36 and 13 and 33 in each congressional township will be for lease unless allotted to Indians or reserved for public purposes by the president. Where any of said lands have been reserved, indemnity lands have been selected in lieu thereof, lists of which can be had upon application to this office. of the range line be- twen ranges 13 and 14 only one- quarter section will be leased to one person; west of said line in any quantity deemed advisable by the board for leasing school lands.

No rules have been made by the board for the first leasing, but due notice will be given of the time and method in the press of the Territory in ample time to give everybody an opportunity to make application to lease the land. Until such public notice is given no application will be considered. person will acquire any rights by settlement upon any of said school lands, and the law of this territory makes it a misdemeanor for any person other than a lessee to use or occupy and of said lands.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 15,1901 Re-Districting Question IMPORTANT BAR MEETING AT COURT WANT TO PLAY IN BACK YARD. Smith Bros PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS, EAST SIDE SQUARE. Responding to a message received from State Senator Harris asking for an expression from the McKinney bar with reference to the redistricting of the state, a meeting of the bar was held at the court room Monday morning.

is our opinion that if we must lose one of our counties from the 5th Congressional district, the symmetry of-the district would be best preserved by detaching Fannin and placing it in some other district. we do not believe it is the wish of the people of Collin county to be attached to Dallas county for congressional purposes. if the state is redistricted for judicial purposes we deem it best that Collin county be placed in a more compact district than at present, and that we be given more time for the transaction of our district court business, as the time we now have is insufficient to keep up with the docket. we are favorably inclined toward the bill now pending in the legislature making the judical district of Cooke, Collin and Denton counties, unless we get something better. whereas, appeals in civil cases are now returnable to the 5th supreme judicial district, but as a fact nearly all our cases are transferred to other courts, thereby entailing confusion, enormous and unnecessary expense to litigants, we therefore request our senator and representatives at Austin to introduce and have passed a bill whien tWs evil.

The sexton of Greenwood cemetery, Jackson, in taking up the body of a child buried fifty years ago noticed that the casket was heavier than is usual in such cases, and, curious as to the cause, removed the plate from over the glass. It was a startling revelation; the corps was lifelike, natural and in a mummified state. Physicians who examined it say that it is a most wonderful specimen of petrification, and an old lady who looked upon the little child just before its burial, those many years ago, says it has not changed in features, and looks as natural now as then. This brings to mind another case almost as remarkable which occurred at Lexington, Miss.

A few years ago a burial ground of far ante-bellum times was being dug up for some purpose, and a little metallic coffin was found. No one then living claimed it: no one knew its history. It was opened and the lifelike features of a little girl met the astonished gaze. The beautiful features lingered a moment, quivered as if still imbued with life, then crumbled to dust The little coffin was reburied and the incident is one of the weird stories strangers who come to that ancient Mississippi town are told and vouched South.
