/ Weaver.
Weaver, Texas, July 29.—Health is
very good.
Crops are promising, there being
sufficient moisture for cotton and fall
crops.
The election is over and news is
scarce, as we have no issues under ad-
visement. Farmers will have more
time to devote to scientific and inten-
sive farming, and the most modern and
economical plan of harvesting
and
marketing their products, the selec-
tion of improved seed and the nature
of their soil and what crops are best
adapted to secure best results. Coun-
ties could be educated by organizing
agricultural clubs and discussing the
most modern and scientific system of
farming and preparation of the soil,
to make farming more positive. The
farm could be made more attractive by
beautifying our homes and installing
improved machines, reducing the phy-
sical labor. Induce the young men to
become interested in agriculture and
horticulture; encourage your bo^ by
making him a partner in the farm, that
he may share a portion of the profits
of his labors. Teach them that farm-
ing is an honored calling where brain
power is as essential to lessen the
drudgery. Make your home pleasant
fad your boys will remain on the farm;
the city will lose its attraction when
led to realize that his opportunities
for the future are as great as those of
the city cousin. N. M. M.

Our crowd which consists of ten dif-

me of kidney complaint in the fall of
1904 and as I have never had a recur-

public statement I gave in their praise
at that time. For several years my
kidneys bothered me. I could not
sleep well nor do my work properly,
as a sharp pain in the small of my
back kept me in misery. The kidney
secretions also caused me much an-
noyance, being too frequent in pas-

Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from
Askew & Buford’s Drug Store, made
me feel like a dilferent person, dis-

restoring my kidneys to a normal con-

THE TRUE TEST.
About the first thing a man notices
when he has fallen into trouble is
that all his friends seem to be looking
the other way when he comes along.

It is a very poor brand of friendship
that will not stand the test in time of
trouble, although we find cases of
that sort every day, I am optimistid.
enough to believe that they are the
exception rather than the rule. If the
book oLlife could be unfolded it would
doubtless reveal a story of the most
beautiful friendship that can be pic-
tured, with every life playing a part.
I recall an instance of loyalty shown
in a certain town several years ago.
A prosperous business man met ,witn
financial reverses during a panic and
was forced to turn his goods over to
his creditors. He did not stop at this,
but made over some $15,000 worth of
life insurance, much of which had been
paid up. His remaining asset, that
which was closest to his heart—a mag-
nificent home—was placed upon the
altar of sacrifice and his creditors
satisfied. .Though his money and
home were gone, he still had some-
thing left which was worth far more
than any material thing—honor and
friends. Seven of his friends, true in
adversity as they had been in prosper-
ity, which alone is the true test, went
to him in his trouble and presented
him with a note bearing their signa-
tures, and requested him to fid it out
for any amount needed for a new start
in business. He filled it out for seven
thousand dollars, began life anew, paid
the loan with interest and today is a
prosperous business man. That is the
sort of friendship that broadens life
and helps to m^te it worth while,

MUST BE HOR8EMEN.
Washington, Aug. 1.—Officers of the
United States Cavalry must improve
their horsemanship and plans are on
foot to make the mounted branches of
the American army the equal in effi-
ciency of any in the world.
The war department has just issued
instructions to all division command-
ers to impress upon the field officers
and captains of the mounted branches
that it is their imperative duty to quali-
fy as skilled riders. In the case of
any officer who is incapable of thor-
oughly qualifying himself, the fact will
be noted on the “efficiency reports”
which are made to the war department
as indicating the lack of an essential
for the mounted service. This may
ultimately lead to his retirement.
The endeavor to improve horseman-
ship is coincident with the depart-
ment’s effort to procure a better grade
of mounts for the army.

or of manhood of the man who sacri-

A SMOOTH GRAFT.
PECULIAR NEWSPAPER ERRORS.
Just how it happens is hard to tell,
but many funny and some Inexcusable
errors creek into the best of newspa-
pers. Just the other day we read the
life sketch of a very old lady. She
was up in ninety. The article said
that she was married in 1887, that
her husband died in 1879 and that her
eldest daughter was then 71 years old.
Wonder what the proof-reader was
doing to let such errors go uncorrect-
ed?—Exchange.
About four weeks ago a couple of
clothing drummers came to McGregor
country and pulled off about the
smoothest scheme among our German
friends it nas ever been our privilege
to relate. They struck town, hired a
livery team and demanded that -Ger-
man drivers be sent with the outfit.
They were selling imported dress
goods, clothing, etc., and as a special
favor would sell only to Germans.
They proposed to sell this imported
goods in patterns suitable for suits,
dresses, overcoats, or most any gar-
ment wanted. The proposition looked
good and as a man was to follow and
make up the respective material Into
garments at a ridiculously low figure
their proposition looked especially
enticing and we understand they did
a thriving business. Up to the pres-
ent their following-up man has failed
to put in an appearance and our Ger-
man friends are begriming,to suspect
that they w— be left with a surplus
of dry goods on hand, ih a shape not
suitable for wearing purposes. We re-
gret that such a bunch of grafters are
allowed to run at large over Texas
and we trust this article may come up-
der the vision of someone who will
be able to locate the schemers; yet
we canont forbear to Warn our readers
against patronizing these peddlers
who go through the country making
glowing promises, and guaranteeing to
do certain things. It always pays to
stay with the home merchant who is
always ready to listen to your com
plaints and is ready to remedy any-
thing that does not come up to expecta-
tions and their guarantee.—McGregor

FALLING TREE

Cumby, Hopkins County, Texas, July
31.—Elbert Roland, a young man about
18 years of age, was instantly killed
this morning at the home of his uncle,
C. H. Hall, three miles north of this
place, when a tree fell on him. He
was out in the woods chopping down a
tree when it turned and fell across
his body, crushing him to death. The
yonug man lived at Walton, in Hender-
son county, this state, and was to
have gone home tomorrow.
