The stomach controls the situ-
ation. Those who are hearty and
and strong are those who can eat
and digest plenty of food. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you
eat and allows you to eat all the
good food you want. If you suf-
fer indigestion, heartburn, bel-
ching or any other stomach
trouble, this preparation can’t
. help but do you good. The most
to your school children, that if
they’d help you collect the splin-
ters, you’d give them credit for
same through the Banner. So
in full faith Lola Lanier informed
you that Mr. and Mrs. James
Cooper ha'd been to Jacksonville
to visit a sick grandchild and
had returned.
Then little Birdie Selman told
you that she heard a certain
young man in the community
was going to get married.
Then little brown eyed Clara
Roberts told you in strictest
confidence that Mr. and Mrs.
Key had a turkey dinner last
Sunday.
Now there is nothing in any of
this to make the world tremble,
but three little children were in-
terested in the paper to the ex-
tent of three short items, and
they were disappointed as you
told them you wanted the news
for last week.”
“Well, if you are going to lec-
ture me, all right, I’ll quit.”
Mrs. P. H. Ford.
P. S:—Since writing the above
I have learned of the death of
Geo. Dickey. George is one of
my old pupils, and it is a pleas-
ure to remember him as a bright
laughing,. innocent boy, dispens-
ingsunsbine all about him. We
don’t just know his age, but he
is just a youth and it grieves me
to think he is cut down in his
boyhood. How his parents will
miss him, being the only grown
boy left at home. As we have
said before, words fail me in a
time .like . this. Words cannot
heal the broken heart, or bring
George back. To his parents
and sisters and brothers we ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathies.
We have also learned that our
young friend, Dr. Carr, has had
the misfortune to lose his sister.
She had'gone to her home in
Nacogdoches county. We truly
sympathize with him in his loss.
Geo. Dickey’s sister, Mrs. Ma-
mie Patton; her husband and
the three little children, came in
during George’s illness and
stayeo ’till after the funeral.
Rev. McLeod of Rusk came
down to preach an able and im-
pressive sermon at George’s
burial.
Violet Williams who has been
quite sick is up again.
Mr. John Brewer is speaking
of moving his family back to
Alto on account of ill health.
The young folks gave us some
nice singing in our home last
Sunday right.

er nave new organs.

school house last Sunday.
Mrs P.H.F.
Have you seen those beautiful Silk Mulls in all the popular shades 6
at 15c a yard, and the tucked chiffons in black and white and applique €
braid for trimming? It’s a combination that will take your breath, so gfe
pretty and so cool and light for the warm days that are soon to come. g
But come to think, how about those Silk striped Challies for 5
Waists in plain and flowered designs? Has anything you ever saw Ep
A, been half so pretty? Seems that the manufacturers have out done 47
® themselves this time. They are not expensive, either; just $2.00 for €
the Waist Pattern.
2 For early spring wear, however, fn medium priced goods, it is
not necessary to tell you that the Egyptian tissues and the Podopholin 8
8 cloths are just the thing you want for a stylish waist, anly 20c and 25c E
8 the yard. Of course we can give you nice waist and dress cloths in
§9 Dimities and Lawns all along down the line as low and lower than you €
will find elsewhere. In fact we can give you anything most in dress
goods and trimmings. That is why we get such a trade as we do. Just "
$49 a day or so since two ladies stepped into the store; one said to the €
€29 other, who was a straner:
"We'll go in bere; you can always get what you want bere." €
$ But the BEST THING we have ever seen is in our boys' and children's
< clothing, the GRIND STONE brand; certainly they have no equal. Our $1.50
W suits for boys from 8 to 15 years we will put against anybody's $2 suits. Prices
€9 range up to $6 the suit. They are made with double seat and knees, full taped
&0 seams and extension waist bands; vestee suits, two piece suits and three piece suits*

From Griffin.
Ed. Banner:—I see that some
of my school mates are writing
to the Banner, and we are go-
ing to write a few dots and tell
you nil about our school it is
moving on nicely, and we have
fifty-nine pupils enrolled. We
have the best teacher that I
ever saw. All the people in our
community like him, and his
name is O. N. Newburn.
We have a nice Sunday school
and it is moving on nicely. We
have about seventy-three mem-
bers enrolled.
We have preaching nearly
every Sunday. We have a good
preacher, and I like to hear him
preach. His name is Bagley,
and he lives about twenty-five
miles from here.
Our school will be out in three
weeks. Weare going to have
an entertainment the last of
school. I wish it would go on all
the year. We are all learning
very fast and will be sorry when
that old bell tells us to go home.
I have attended school four
months this session and have
learned more than I ever learn-
ed before in three sessions put
together. Our teacher has
taught us how to work all kind
of fractions,. work interest on
money, both simple and com-
pound, measure land, corn cribs,
shingle houses, find the- number
of gallons in a barrel, cistern or
trough, measure lumber and
logs, and how to find the weight
of a cow without weighing her.
All this and many other things
that I can’t mention for want of
space.
I am a little girl only 12 years
old andean see my own Improve-
ment. We are very anxious for
Mr. Newburn to teach us an
arithmetic school this summer,
and he sometimes talus like he
will.
Hoping to hear from other
schools through the Banner, and
with best wishes to all, I am
your correspondent.

reach.”
“Oh! the idea of writing about
bed bugs,” says I. “What a
come down from poetry to bed
bugs. Why, says I, I wanted to
write about something grand,
- something that will make the
people catch their breath in ex-
pectation—something that will
make the very earth tremble.”
“Oh! bother the people catch-
ing their breath,” says my other
self. “If it’s in you, you’ll do it
without any effort on your part.
Poets and writers are born, and
not made to order like a pair of
Hamilton & Brown shoes. You
didn’t set out to make the earth
tremble, any way. All you in-
tended to do was towrite up the
Linwood news, and here you are
straining your life to go off into
the impossible. You never did
tell about Geo. Whitfield Terrell,
who has come to the home of
Hon. G. B. Terrell. Hon. Whit
and Mrs. Terrell want to go to
Austin soon.
Then, you are about to neglect
mentioning Mrs. Linton of Tenn-
,essee, who has been visiting
'Mrs. Mollie Ford for the last
ten days. Mrs. Linton is spend-
in the winter in Texas, and
went from Linwood to visit
friends in Kaufman.
Now let me tell you something
else you deliberately proposed

The grass is peeping,
The chickens are cheeping;
The lambs are frisking,.
The birds are—the oirds are—
the birds are--.
“What are you trying to do
I now?” says my other self, who
has the bad habit of looking over
my shoulder and reading every
thing I try to write.
a “Why,” says I, “I am trying
to write a piece of spring poetry
for the Banner.”
“Spring bosh, you mean,”
says she. “I hope to the good-
ness you havn’t joined that
-empty headed gang who flood
the country with their silly, non-
sensical gubbling rhymes -about
spring. Don’t you know the
spring poet is the laughing stock
of the whole literary world?
-Don’t you know he is a favorite
victim of the caractacurist and
the comic editor, who show him
up in a most ridiculous style?
. You are no poet, and you know
it You may be able to appreci-
ate the beauties of poetry that
other people write, but one thing
certain, you can’t compose it
yourself. You certainly have
enough good, common sense to
know that. Now if you intend
to write for the paper, why don’t
you write something useful that
will interest the people? You
might have, with a little more
show of reason, commenced your
spring poetry with:
"The June bug has the glossy-
wing,
The lightning hug the flame,
The bed bug has no wings at all,
Rut he gets there just the same.”
And then gone on and told the
good home mothers that a friend
told you one time, that corrosive
sublimate was good for bed bugs.
Just get a quarter’s worth and
put it in a large quinine bottle
and keep it filled with water.The
water will hold just so much in
solution, so it is no waste to put
-all the powder in the bottle. Two
or th ree times during the early
spring—especially March, with
a large feather, or small brush,
paint the locks and catches of
the bed, also the ends of the
’ slats and notches for same with
this mixture, You ought to add
that corrosive sublimate is a
deadly poison and ought to be
