Question of the Hour: How to prevent so much paper,
[cotton and trash from getting scattered over the streets?
Question of the Half Hour: How to get rid of it after
it is once scattered?
The cool spell of the past week has exceeded anything
for low temperatures at the time of year within the mem-
ory of the oldest citizens. No harm has been done how-
ever, and the cool, bracing autumn air was a great relief
from the heat of summer.
Cotton pickers are in great demand and are scarce. As
high us $1.10 per hundred is being paid, it is said. Help I
of all kinds seems to be growing scarcer every year. The I
oil mill at Cooper is repotted running on one shift because
sufficient help cannot be secured for two.

The Journal endorses the movement to establish ■ Hunt
county hospital. The last legislature made is obligitorf
on all cuujaues of a given population and aboye to estab-
lish and maintain public hospitals. Hunt county has this
population.' While these hospitals will not be charitable
institutions ti.ey will be free to such persons as are not
able to pay for services rendered. They will also be used
to care for the insane of the county until such may be
admitted to the asylum, instead of keeping them in jail
as is now the custom. It is estimated that the tax increase
necessary to carry out the work will not exceed two and a
half cens on the hundred dollars. This is inconsiderable
when compared with the great good to be derived from
such an establishment.
