A FEW GIFT SUGGESTIONS FROM OUR STOCK
For Men
When you were sick
You wanted me quick
hustled over with powder and
pffl.
Your pains were eased
I left you pleased
And now I want my bill.
-I. W. Teague M. D.
When your linen is soiled
And you want it boiled
And put in condition to
Just bring it in here
And add to our cheer.
You’ll have less troubles to bear.
—Plain Price Store. |
Groceries that are right
For people who fight
The battles of life every day.
It’s a practice we’ve made
In building up trade
We find it the better way.

their messages to Christmas
shoppers and that, The Times
force may enjoy a holiday.

But because of the near approach of Christmas, we do not want you to get the impression that we have relaxed our efforts to reduce stock. Instead of relaxing we
have redoubled our endeavors and hope to make this week the very busiest of the whole season. In addition all staple lines of merchandise will be on sale at substantially
less than normal prices. We wish you one and all, A Merry Christmas.

A story of sympathy
charity comes to us from
bright. That good town has al
ways been able to raise more
money for the dragging of roads
and other public enterprise than
any small town we know about,
and when sickness and distress
is in their midst they follow the
teachings of the l^owly Nazar
ene. During the past two months,
live of a family by the naniie of
Haddock, have died of typhoid
fever, which left them in hard
circumstances. The good peo
pie of that town have been pay-
ing the salary of a trained nurse
for several weeks and a purse
ha been made up and presented
to the family, two of which are
seriously ill with the fever.
Cards of thanks, resolutions of re-
pect, obituary notices, and all politi-
cal effusions will be charged forat the
rate of one cent per word. Also all
church or any other announcements, if
the object is to raise money, must be
paid for at regular rates. Count your
words and remit with manuscript.
No ad accepted for less than 20c.

Recently W. T. Furgerson
handed us a one dollar bill which
had a small hi 'e burned through
the center of it. He stated that
it had come back to him twice
and he was going to see if it
would return again. We assur-
ed him that it would never be
spent out of town by us.
Complying with our request
in a recent issue, two teachers
of our rural schools have furn-
ished The Times with reports
from their schools. While we
are a staunch advocate, of higher
learning, our sympathy is with
the small rural school whose
teacher, in many instances, has
to hear classes from seven
grades, We should have fewer
and larger rural schools. Do
Before another issue of The
Times goes to our readers,
Christmas and New Years will
have come and gone. To all our
old friends who have been loyal
to The Times, who iiave helped
us, and whom we have helped
as best we knew: and to the
newer friends whom we will
cherish until they become old
friends: and to you whose
friendship we want and will
strive earnestly to deserve, we
tender this old, old greeting
May your Christmas be happy
and cheerful; and may the New
Year be a prosperous and fruit
ful one.
More than two hundred coats at these two prices, represent-
ing at least forty different styles and almost as many ma-
terials—they are this season’s Coats
These boy’s Overcoats are in the best styles and good, all-
wool materials—many different styles to select from and all
regular stock
THE boys began Christmas
a little early this year. Fir^’
crackers have been popping
since last Friday.
You are going to spend some
money for articles you will send
out with words of cheer on this
approaching Christmas dav. It
is a beautiful habit—this giving
of cheer—and the custom fitting
ly commemorates the day when
Christ was born. For Christ
gave most of all—his life. In
the expenditure of our holiday
funds would it not be well for us
to remomber that every dollar
we spend at home will give
cheer to some of our own peo
pie, to some one who is interest
ed in us, who is laboring for the
advancement of our own coin
triunity? It is not for us to tell
you where you should trade.
That is a matter for your own
judgement. But we do ask you
to look carefully over the adver-
tisements in The Times. You
probably will find what you
want, and quite likely you will
be able to purchase it as cheap
ly in this town as elsewhere.
And the home merchant and his
family will thus partake of the
Christmas cheer which you
hand out on that blessed day.
And even you, the giver, will be
cheered by the thought that you
have added to the happiness of
someone you know on this day
of peace and good will to all peo
pTes.
not fail to compare the reports
of the schools published in this
issue. State Superintenoent of
Schools Doughty is out in a pub
lished statement that is aston
ishing. He says that illiteracy
is actually on the increase in
Texas, and it is among
num
negroes who can read
and write is increasing. He
says 185,361 children of scholas-
tic age in Texas did not attend
school last year, and the attend
ance of the others was j>oor, it
being shown that 43 children
out of every 100 were out of
school every day last year.
Texas ranks thirty-eighth in ed-
ucational efficiency among the
states, yet it has tbe greatest
permanent school fund of any.
He says that the schools in the
cities and towns of the state are
the best of their kind anywhere,
but it is the rural schools of cer-
tain sections of the state that
bring the average down so low.,.,
We want to ask the parents of
the school child r en in this sec-
tion if one or more of their child-
ren helped to make up the 43
out of each hundred who were
out of school each day last year?
Good schools cost money, but il
literacy is the most expensive.

------ PARIS, TEXAS
In a recent case in the U. S.
Supreme Court, it held that a
person who holds another under
“criminal contract” is guilty of
peonage, a high crime in the
sight of the law. Two Alabama
farmers had paid the line of a
negro and forced the negro to
remain in their employ until he j the whites, too, for the
paid back the money they had | her of
advanced to pay his tine. This,
the court held is peonage, and
the Alabama farmers must serve
terms in prison. The decision
will go far toward placing crim
inals in jail or on the public
highways, since no man will care
to advance money for lines when
he dare not attempt to hold a
criminal to a contract to repay
by work.—Honey Grove Signal.
