WHAT CARNEGIE WANTS.

Andrew Carnegie usually talks
good deal of sense. He wants the
taxes on luxuries, out of which the
Government makes $200,000,000, and
which the common people cannot ai-
ford, kept under high duty, and the
plain food of the people should be
made free.—Yoakum Times.

Roosevelt, has resigned the office of
appraiser of the port of New York, a

The following beautiful metaphor
is from an address by H. H. Mamil:
“In the great day of natural assire
when empire, kingdom and republic
o' earth shall be gathered for judg-
ment, and the Muse of History shall
unroll the records of their good and
evil, the Old South, th6 ‘uncrowned
queen! of the centuries, will be in
thMr midst, her white vestment, stain-
ed by the blood of her sons, her eyes
dimmed by sorrow and suffering. No
chapletlaurel will encircle her brow
and no noisy trump of fame shall hail
ter coming; but round her fair, proud
head, as of yore, shall spin a hallow
of love, and fame shall hang her head
rebuked, and the trumpet fall from her
nerveless hand, as the spirit of the
Old South is passing by.”

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
Whereas, there has been a number
of complaints in regard to offensive
hog pens, would say to all who have
Logs to please keep an eye to the san-
itary condition, of your pens, and if
they smell, remember your friends and
neighbors will detect it before you do.
We have some complaints about the
alleys and back doors of business
houses. To all wp will state that if
you will remove all rubbi3li and bring
a quart or a half a gallon bottle to the
Ci|y Hall we will havo a great quan
tity of disinfecting solution there
which we are anxious to giv% you free
or all charge, which if sprinkled or
atomized morning and evening will de
stroy all smells and keep you in
good fellowship with your neighbors.
We- also have some fly traps which
we will sell you for $1.00, or if yon
can’t buy come and get one aJad give
receipt for its return to the cfty. Let
us keep a clean city and have good
health.
Respectfully submitted,
S. B. LONGINO, M. D.,
City Health Officer.
P. S.—We are working on the water
proposition and thin^ will have better

CLOTHES LEND CONFIDENCE.
Courage oozes out of the holes in a
ragged suit of clothes and fear enters.
But give the same man'a niw Suit,
clean linen, a good hat and shining’
shoes, and you will see how soon hear
will fly away and confidence be re-
stored. He who before was ft
to speak in whispers'lest he might
be heard and consequently seen
now talk loudly of million -dollar
positions, though he may not ha1
cent In his pockets. It is the du _
every man to dress as welt and as |
neatly as his means will allow,
should cutivate tastes in his a;
and show wisdom in his sel
His main object should be to
grace to his figure and atraetivi_____
to his general appearance; but above
all, he should dress in accordance
in keeping with his station in life.—

HONORED, BUT NOT CONTENTED.
When governor, of Tennessee, Boh
Taylor had this to say of his life suc-
cesses and longings. There is a les-
son in it for many a,discontented youth
and maiden: “When a jgtere boy on
a farm on the banks of the Watauga,
I used to steal an hour occasionally
to sit under the sycamore ’trees *tkT
dream of the future. I thought If I
cculd get off the farm and into the
city and be a lawyer, my cdp of happi-
ness would be full. I went to the

ambitions were to go into, polities.

A few evenings ago a young man
and his girl from a nearby town were
sitting in their buggy here near the
popcorn stand, watching the people
pass. Presently the young lady re-
marked: "My, that popcorn smells
good!" '“That’s right,” said the gal-
lant; “I’ll drive up a little closer, so
you can smell It better.”—Bartlett
Tribune.
The Bull Moose party is proceeding
very slowly, but Colonel Roosevelt
seems to be satisfied that it is pro-
ceeding along safe lines. All of which
may be a fact, but if the Colonel
should happen to pass out jHst about
now, what would become of the Bull
Moose party? No party has ever suc-
ceeded in this country that had as its-
only prop one man. Colonel Roose-
