m
CITIZENS’ MUTUAL ASSOCIA
T yE have been repeatedly told,iby persons not in sympathy with our
\\l pla&, that should we have three or four deaths at any one time,
‘^^°^our members would leave us. We have thoroughly demonstrated
the fallacy of this statement. From March 25 to April 15, this
year, we hatd on file six unpaid death claims in our Circle One
more assessment pays off all six of these claims and no new deaths to re-
port. We have never called more than one assessment per month. No
beneficiary has objected to waiting and nd member has been taxed more
than he would have been had he been in some other fraternal order.
Our members are staying with us almost to a man; thus carrying out the
“motto” of our order—“Home Insurance for Home People. In this
spirit of loyalty lies our success. Our members had rather carry their
insurance in a home company, than to send their money away to enrich
the coffers of other states and to benefit the people they will never see.
We are proud of our Association and its patriotic following.
Yours fraternally,
V
O. B. BRIGOS, State Secretary

for State Senator.
We are authorized to annonnee
Chaa. R. Devall, of Mt. Vernon, as a
candidate for State Senator of the
Seoond Senatorial District, to fill oat
the anexpired term of Hon. H. Bas-
com Thomas (who has resigned), sub-
ject to the election on July 23rd.
Mr. Devall was born in Franklin
county, and has spent all his life in
and near Mt. Vernon, with the ex-
ception of a few years which he spent
hi Snlphnr Springs daring his boy-
hood and early manhood days. He
was left an orphan while In his teens,
bat shouldered the responsibilities of
earning his own livelihood and help-
ing support two sisters, in a manly
and successful way. He entered the
Franklin Herald printing office at Mt.
Vernon in 1891 or 1892, learning to set
type nnder the tutorage of Brice Col-
lins, and has been connected with
the printing business at that place
ever since. He has been a successful
^■newspaper man for more than fifteen
years and is now editor and proprietor
of the Mt. Vernon Optic-Herald, one
of the cleanest and b&st weekly pap-
ers in this section of the state.
He ffever aspired for public office
nntO 1906, when he entered the race
for County Clerk of Franklin coun-
ty* He won his first race by a good
majority and was elected to succeed
himself in 1908, without opposition.
He has made a conscientious, oblig-
ing and highly efficient County Clerk
and has closely guarded the county’s
best interests, standing unequivocal-
ly for an economic administration of
the county’s affairs.
He is a devont Christian and an up-
right, honorable gentleman in every
respect, and having always stood for
the higher and better things of life,
be has won the confidence and respect
of all good people who know him.
He entered the race for State Sen-
ator at the solicitation of many friends
oyer the district who believe that he
could give us an able and highly ac-
ceptable administration as State Sen-
ator.
The writer has known Charlie De-
vall ever since we were little boys and
played and lived together; later we
learned to set type together, ran op-
position newspapers and finally work-
ed together, on onr consolidated
vent a recurrence of the recent dis-
graceful developments in those insti-
tutions.
8. I am opposed to all junketing
tonrs of the legislature and shall in-
sist npon strict attention to the peo-
ple’s business, and if possible enact-
ing all necessary legislation within
the statutory sixty days, thus obviat-
ing the necessity of the expense of an
extra session. I shall favor such leg-
islation as is necessary to perfect
present laws rather than new legisla-
tion, except such as may be necessary.
9. I am in favor of an economical
administration of dnr State govern-
ment and shall oppose the creation of
all unnecessary new offices, bat shall
f^vor a liberal support of onr Con-
federate home.
Chas. R. Devall.
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Boy a Farm Now.
Tbesfarm should be considered as
an investment for profit and a home
for its owner and his children. Tran-
sient farmers and temporary citizens
of a commonwealth do not folly enjoy
the blessing of citizenship and the
comforts of home.
There are thousands of farmers all
over the country who do not own their
homes. Many of Chem are intelligent
farmers, good citizens and useful men
in the neighborhood. They are per-
forming good service in social, moral
and religious activities and are train-
ing their children in the virtues of
citizenship. To them we would say,
own a home.
It is highly important that your
children have a home. Leave them a
farm npon which thqy may take np
the dnties and responsibilities of life.*
Stocks, bonds and gold may not per-
manently benefit them, but the farm
and the conntry home will be their
capital and their inspiration to live
nsefnl and prosperous lives.
Land values are rapidly increasing.
Every year marks an increase in good
farming lands. Age and infiimities wil
make it more difficult for yon to bay
a farm. Yonr children will soon be
seeking their occupations for nsefnl
men and women. The farm needs
them; rifral society cannot spare them.
Bay a farm and leave them a home.
Debt is always permissable when it
is incured for a farm. Many of onr

theory is all right, bat the practi-
cal application is the thing that counts
—that good rain for instance, last Sat-
urday night, pat a flne^expresaion on
the whole country.
The most significant thing chat has
occurred in the Texas campaign since
it began was the speech of Judge W.
P. McLean in introducing Gone John-
sooto a Ft. Worth andience, not nec-
essarily on acconnt of Judge McLean’s
landatory words of the Tyler man and
his candidacy, bat for very different
reasons. It has been charged that
Johnson was not loyal to Hogg’s pol-
icies. It is known that Judge McLean
was a friend to the storm tossed. In
fact, he was the second man named
on the Railroad Goto mission by the
Texas Commoner when that body was
created. Significant again is the well
known fset that Jndge McLean
stomped Texas against Johnson when
that gentleman came very near un-
horsing Senator Bailey. If the line-up
continues, it looks as if the finish will
be a straight out showdown t^etween
O. B. Colquitt and Gone Johnson.
Ooming events cast their shadows be-
fore—especially is this true of the
game political.—Denison Herald.
That great son of Georgia, Hon.
Thomas E. Watson, who once elec-
trified the Populist party, is reputed
to have renounced that faith and has
come back to the Democratic party.

ty has issued an order prohibiting the

rival in the local option camp. One
by one the oo unties of this great state
are getting what they want, self local
government. When the people real-
ly want anything they usually get it.

Washington, Jane 7.—Representa-
tive Gordon Russell of Tyler, Tex.,

to Gov. Campbell Monday and later In
the-week leave Washington for Texas
to qualify as United States District
Judge for the Eastern District of
Texas.
Jndge Rnssell will at once appoint
J. R. Blades of Athens clerk of his
oonrt. Mr. Blades served four years
as District Olerk at Athens and was
County Jaj}ge eight years. Daring
the last two years he has served as
Jndge Rnssell’s secretary in Congress.
Mr. Blades is rapidly closing np Jndge
Russell’s office here and expects to
leave for Texas tomorrow.
An Invitation.
Hon. F. W. Patterson,
Snlphnr Springs, Texas.
Dear Sir:—In accordance with tfafe
statement I gave the press some time
ago, it is my intention to take the
stamp in the interest of my candidacy
for the offioe of county jndge. I shall
begin the speaking dates on the 13th
instant at Miller Grove, following the
candidates for representative as has
been the custom in the past, and in-
asmuch as I shall necessarily disease
some things touching yonr adminis-
tration as oonnty judge, I hereby ex-
tend to yon a cordial invitation to be
present and share an equal division of
time. We are both public officials and
onr records are public property and
to whatever might be said of either of
ns in pointing ont to the sovereign
voters of this county the advantages
of electing or defeating either of us in
onr candidacy for said position can-
not fail to be of interest to the people,
to whom all the offices belong.
In extending yon this invitatioif I
have been prompted by a spirit of
•fairness to/ yon by acquainting yon
with my plans, and I shall expect yon
to do me the courtesy of a prompt re-
ply. Yours very truly,
Walter A. Nelson.

Who Are They.
Mr. Aldtfoh says that he has enough
votes to carry the railroad bill, and
among the number includes “a num-
ber of democratic senators” who, ac-
cording to Senator Aldrich, stand
ready to oppose the amendment whioh
the progressives have been present-
ing. All right, let ns get another look
at th? Aldrich democrats. They are
becoming pretty well known, bat an-
other exhibit of them would not hart.

pleasure in commending him to the
voters of Hopkins county as a man in
whom they can place the highest con-
fidence, and can pledge them in ad-
vance that if they send him to the
Texas Senate, he will fight their bat-
tles ably and well. '
We give his platform below:
CHAS R. DEV ALL’S PLATFORM.
In presenting my name to the vot-
ers of the 8econd Senatorial District
as a candidate for the anexpired term,
caused by the resignation of Honor-
able H. Bascom Thomas, I submit the
following as a brief statement of my
views on some important issues:
1. I am a Democrat and have al-
ways voted the straight Democratic
ticket, and therefore "believe the will
of the ipajority is supreme, and that
the platform demands of the party are
binding on the members of the Legis-
lature and should be enacted into laws
as soon as practicable after the con-
vening of the Legislature.
2. I am in favor of submitting to
the voters of Texas the proposed
amendment to onr state constitution,
giving them an opportunity of ex-
pressing at the ballot box whether or
not it is their will that the sale of in-
toxicating liquors shall be prohibited
^throughout the entire state, and if
elected will lend my vote and support
for the passage of snch a measure.
3. I favor that plank in the State
Democratic platform which provides
for efficient pnblic free schools for at
least six months in the year and snch
legislation as may be necessary to
carry that plank of the platform into
effect. I also favor the system of'in-
dustrial education now being foster-
ed by this State and a liberal provis-
ion for all said industrial institutions.
I also favor the liberal support of oar
State University and the A. & M.
College and appropriation sufficient
to famish comfortable quarters for
all students so that none may have to
live in tents.
4. I do not favor such restrictive
legislation as will drive capital from
the State and retard the development
of onr resources, and yet I favor such
control of corporations as will pre-
vent their exploiting the people and
snob legislation as will drive frosts
and monopolies from the State.
5. I favor such amendments of onr
civil and criminal codes as will secure
speedy trials, and as far as possible
prevent the delays which now so of-
ten defeat the ends of jastice.
6. Believing that nothing would
oondnoe more to oar farming interests
and the general development of onr
oonnty than a good system of pnblio
roads, I will advooate every measure
tending to the improvement of onr
pnblio roads, with all doe care as to
the placing of additional hardens npon
the people.
7. I favor legislation that will di-
vorce onr penal and eleemosynary in-
stltationa from state politics and inch
reforms In said institutions as will pre-
for their farms. The home will be a
powerful influence for economy, in-
dustry and perseverance. It will en-
able yonr children to find profitable
employment and remain nnder the
parental roof.—Farm and Ranch.

What Is The Devil.
One day recently a question con-
cerning the devil came op in the
Cameron public school, and in defin-
ing the old fellow one of the teachers
explained that in a printing office it
means a man who sets type and writes.
One of the charming girls of the class
having asked the editor of the local
paper if this was collect, he was forc-
ed to answer in the negative. That
no one will go amiss on the subject we
will give the yoang scholar the pro-
per definition.
The devil is a beginner or apprentice
in a print shop, and presides over the
“hell box,” a box in which all the
printers damp their “pi” when too
tired to throw it in the case. It is the
business of this “imp of darkness” to
sort ont the letters and place them in
their proper cases and boxes, and as
the p, b, q, d, are very similar he is
told co mind his q’s. The devil’s oc-
cupation is to sweep oat, build the
fires, smear ink all over his face, keep
the printers in an uproar, “pi” cases,
borrow “italic spaces.” kill “type
lice” and visit harness shops for
“strap oil for the foreman.” The
foreman and all the printers feel it
their' especial privilege to case the
defril and blame him for all the ills
and accidents that befalls tbe office,
and on Saturday evening after the
printers have been paid off, (or stood
off) and the editor finds himself with
only one lone quarter left he recollects
that “there is the devil to pay,” and
tfiat is how the phrase originated. No,
the devil is not a writer or printer,
bat printers are sometimes the devil.

Cyclone In Italy.
Oagliara, Sardinia, Italy, Jane 7.—A
terrific cyclone swept over the Oag-
liara district today, carrying min in
its wake. In the country abont the
towns of Lanonssi, Lortolli, Ilbonveni,
Bari Sardo and Ierzi, fields of standing
crops were rained and all the live
stock was killed. It is feared that
many shepherds in the mountains
perished.
Railroad communication has been
cat off and fall details are not obtain-
able. Early estimates place the loss
at 10,000,000 lire.
It is onr candid judgement that Ool-
qnitt or Johnson will be first, Poin-
dexter third and Davidson fourth in
the race.—Petty Enterprise.
It is the Gazette’s candid opinion
that Colquitt will be first in the raoe
unless the prohibitionists concentrate
their forces, and at this writing there
is no more prospect of this being done
than of tne moon turning to green
oheese.—Pittsburg Gazette.
