going to Devine last Saturday with
Mr. Geo. Christilles, local agent for
the Maxwell automobile. While
there Editor Dubose of The Devine

Devine seems to be a busy little
town.
Between here and Devine there

the progressive farmer to become

A Chance.
A young author, whose ability, was
by no means equal to his conceit,
was discoursing at length upon the
merits of his work. "I am tired
of writing of that which others welte
of,” he said. “I want to create an
original work, something that no one
has ever written about or ever will
write about." A learned man’turned
quickly to the speaker, "Why not
write your own eulogy?" he said. 1

Captains of Industry.
This title, while not now, was
brought into general use by a lunch,
eon in New York arranged to honor of
Prince Henry of Prussia when he vis-
ited the United States in 1902. It was
attended by men who by their genius,
means or otherwise, were responsible,
in whole or in part, for the creation
and development of important indus-
tries in the United States. The late
John Pierpont Morgan, the prominent
financier, presided at the luncheon,
and the men who attended it were des-
ignated “Captains of Industry."
Real Americans.
The American Indlens are the only
race properly desalted as “the Amer-
loan race" insomuch as they are the
aboriginal inhabitants of a continent
resettled by European peoples. The
word “American” is applied, however,
to all native-born inhabitants of the
continents of North and South Amer-
ton, and specifically to citizens of the
Watted States.

Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad-
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: "I was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that i thought surely 1 would die.
I tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, and qui
any confidence in it.
1 have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me-
haven’t had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de-
rangements of the stomach and liver. 11
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest,

Let us hope it will only be a short
time 'till the Medina Valley Irriga-

be settled so these many idle acres
will have the farmers on them that
they deserve—then this country

no reason why the LaCoste territory
should not be the trading center
for thia fine farming country. La-

Damascus a Busy City.
It is estimated at least 20,000 pil-
grims pass through the city of Da-
mascus each year. They are mate-
rial to the financial welfare of the an-
cient city, spending in the neighbor-
hood of $900,000 for goods of every
kind. Damascus is busy and ths peo-
ple are industrious. Nearly every-
thing actually needed by the native
is made there, and there la a surplus
sufficient to supply a large surround-
ing territory and the pilgrims and vis-
itors who pass that way.
Hall Kille Seagulls.
In a thunderstorm at Teesmouth,
England, it is recorded, so much hall
of such large size fell that the beach
was strewn with the dead bodies of
gulls and other sea birds. On throe-
quarters of a mile of shore, 300 dead
gulls were counted, all killed by the
ball.
Formation of Coal.
Coal, according to Doctor Jones, was
formed by the vast forests of giant
trees that luxuriated upon the earth
when its atmosphere was full of steam
and contained from 2 to 5 per cent of
carbonic acid gas, against the 0.03 of
1 per cent it contains now.
