Entered at the poctoffloe at Mexia, Tum,
m Mcond-clati mall matter.
Stocks are on the decline. But
everything else is going up.
A constitutional amendment,
raising the salaries of the gov-
ernor and lieutenant governor to
$8000 and $2500 respectively has
been favorably reported to the
senate.
A bill has been introduced in
the senate to regulate compresses.
It makes it unlawful for any
cotton buyer or shipper to 'own
stock in any compress. Where,
oh, where, will this "regulating"
end?
The lazie?t man in the world
has been discovered in Ireland.
He {has been in bed for
thirty years and his mother waits
on him. He is apparently strong
ar.d healthy, but just too lazy to
get up and moved about.
G. F. Hawkes, general super-
intendent of the H. &T. C. rail-
road, has tendered his resigna-
tion to go with the El Paso South-
western, He will leave for his
new headquarters about April
1st. His successor here has not
yet been named.
A bill has f been introduced ats
Austin to regulate the barber
and we suppose it will be up to
the bootblacks next. Hurrah
for regulation! —Houston Post.
The House of Regulators, as it
should be called, is getting busy.
But what are they going to
regulate about the barbers?
State Sunday school convention
If you wish to go to this con-
vention and enjoy the feast t f
good things write at once to W.
N. Wiggins of San Antonio, or
C.«B. McConnell, Dallas for cred-
ential cards. This is important
so that ftomes may be assigned
in advance of your coming.
Cullom's Magazine, published
in Dallas, is the latest addition to
our exchange table. It is a neslt
book si/.e publication well print-
ed and edited, by young Mr.
Cullom, a son of the wjjjll known
newspaper man, John H. Cullom.
The price of subscription is 50
cents per year and it is well
worth the money.
Senator Bailey was given a
royal reception at the cattle-
men's convention in Fort Worth
Monday and made a splendid
speech. The people of Gainr •
ville will round off the ovation
Saturday when prominent men
from all over the state, including
many members of the legislature
will gather in the home town
o the senator -to extend the glad
hand.
One of the regulators recently
introduced a bill in the house
proposing to regulate something
about the newspaper business—
we don't exactly remember the
details—and the penalty was fixed
at about a thousand dollars
and Afteen months in jail,
of us coujd easily pay the
every other day, but that
penalty is too much for us.
promise to be good.
They are about to come to
blows in the Thaw trial, but who
cares.
The French battle ship, Iena
blew up Tuesday afternoon at
Toulon and about eighty members
of her crew, including the captain
are dead.
The three young farmers who
'"sicked" a bull dog on a printer
who was traveling through the
country several weeks ago, have
each been iined $500 and sentenc-
ed to jail for fifteen months, and
there are still charges pending
against them in connection with
the brutal affair. When they
get out of jail and)finish settling
up with the county they will
probabaly know better than sick
another dog on a man.
G. Stanley Hall, President of
Blark University and an author-
ity of international reputation on
child fctudy has been engaged to
give a series of lectures on popu-
lar phases of his specialty at the
Colorado Chautauqua and Sum-
mer School at Boulder, Colorado.
This offers western educators
and studentS a rare opportunity
to study under this eminent
scholar. Along the same line
announcement is made of a series
by Professor Newton N. Riddel],
famous as author and lecturer,
on Heredity, Prenatal Culture,
and kindred phases of the Child
Study question.
The bill of Representative
Kennedy to abolish the Houston-
Galveston differential on cotton,
is attracting quite a number of
Houston's citizens to Austin who
are fighting the measure with
might and main. Houston
had just as well make up her
mind to give in on this proposi-
tion fur the people cannot see
why she Should be protected in
any such a manner.— Groesbeck
Journal.
That bill if it becomes a law,
will save thousands of dollars for
the farmers of this section, as it
will reduce the freight rate on
cotton shipped to Galveston
about 30 cents per bale from
this point.
Terrell Transcript:' There is a
Civic League in the town of
Mexia that is doing some work

has done others can do. If other
places should emulate the exam-

something done for Texas that
would be of real value, and other
generations would rise up and
call the present one blessed.

The Circulation Depart*
ment.
*
J. W. Pearson, Manager,
Tehuacna, Texas.
To increase and maintain the circula-
tion of the State Herald is the object
of this service. In order to add ONE
THOUSAND new subscribers and to
obtain the renewal of all the old, whose
time may be out by July 1st next.
I am offering to give evry new sub-
scriber a fifty cent box of the cele-
brated Tonkawa Blue Powders for wire
cuts on man or beast, and to every
renewal a 25c box of Dr. Sloans Liver
PiHs. By sending me your subscription
you thus gain 50 per cent on your in-
vestment for the new or 25 per cent on
the renewals. Should you have on
hand already a^supply of the pills and
powders I will send you instead a good
brand of the following articles: Liver
regulator, cold cures, headache tablets,
quinine, kidney capsules, all postpaid to
the value of 50c to all new subscribers
and 25c to every renewal. Or if you
prefer chill tonics, blood purifiers, toil-
et articles and you pav the freight, on
the fluid#, these will 'be furnished in-
stead—so long as my stock of Drugs
last, which I am disposing of in order
to go into other business. No such
offer as this has ever before been offer-
ed to the readers of the State Herald
and it will not last long. As soon as i
can giveaway about one thousand dol-
lars worth of drugs this offer will likely
close. Read this statement carefully
and sit down at once and send me a
post office order for one dollar for the
new subscriber and all back dues and a
yeirin advance for all the old sub-
scribers. If you have a mind to send
two or three years in advance you will
receive the premium for every dollar
sent as stated above.
Write me a letter and name the
article you want and you will receive
same in due time by mail or freight
as stated. All these goods are just
sucn as you buy over the country eve y
day and will give you satisfaction.
