if there had been only half

Want an exhibit of this kind, when at
the State Fair, we can see it for fifty
smuts. We have inquiries from Colo-
nrdo, wanting to supply our growers
with seed potatoes.
As tiie primary election is over, we
can now get down to business and be-
gin to look after the things that per-
to our needs, and that are pro-
ive. We are now going to put
on a progressive move that will be
tk> the advaaeement of our county and
(he good of our people, and will make
conditions as they should be. We will,
early in the coming month, have a
booster meeting at the Club Rooms,
and put on a campaign for a bond ls-
sue for good roads in Precinct Ho. 1.
We want everyone to come and take
an active part in this needed move.
We are going to prepare a program
for the Trade Excursion over the coun-
ty by our business men and trades-
men. to be pulled off on August 14 and
16, and we want every business man
«wi tradesman in the city to go to
work and prepare his advertising mat-
ter, make arrangements for their cars
and spellers for this trip. We will,
very soon, be able to give out the
towns to be visited on the first and
second days, as R will take two days
to visit all of the towns in the county.
This is a progressive move that every
one is more than willing to aid and
got into, and this means that the trip
will be a grand success.

have seen this season.

As we have stated before, tbe house
canner to going to do much toward
solving the peach crop. Quite a num-
ber of the growers are now canning
their peach crop, and are receiving in-
quiries as to prices, and it is^our hon-
est conviction that they can make a
ready sale of all they can, if they care
to sell. There is a move on foot for
the growers to organise a home can-
ners* association, and when the prices
suit them, theyvcan vary readily load
a car. They are securing labels and
will have neat and presentable cans
with the very best of fruit in them,
are going to encourage this.
Connelly Bauman placed on exhibi-
tion twelve Elbertas that weighed 109
ounces. This is indeed good as the
trees are so full.
Bob Beckham placed on exhibition
some of the finest apples we have ev-
er seen in Texas or any other place.
They are almost perfect and of a fine
quality. We did not get the name,
but they are of a yellowish color. This
proves the fact that to grow apples
perfectly, one must get the proper var-
iety, Uke this, that grows to perfec-
tion.

Has That Been Your Experience Tak-
ing Calomel for Constipation?
Try Dodson's Liver Tons
Next Time.
Many people take calomel to cure
constipation, and it does cure it for
one day, but two or three days later
they are sicker than ever. That is
one of the after-effects of calomel.
This is the reason why Askew &
Buford will not guarantee calomel to
be harmless. But we do guarantee
Dodson’s Liver-Tone to be a perfect
substitute for calomel. Dodson’s Liv-
er-Tone will cure constipation and bil-
ious attacks and keep them cured, by
stimulating and toning up the liver to
do its best work. It is a vegetable
liquid with a pleasant taste and is
harmless to children as well as grown
people. It livens up the liver by nat-
ural methods, does not act so strong-
ly as to weaken the body, but is safe
and sure just the samd. You can buy
d bottle today from Askew & Buford
today with the assurance of your mon-
ey hack If it falls in your case.

COMMERCIAL CLUB NEWS.
The business men of this city are
aiding the citizens of Reily Springs in
a good and substantial business way.
As stated in last week's Club News, a
committee from that community would
visit our business people relative to
aid on sanding and claying a half
mile of road in order to get here with
their business. The committee came
Tuesday and called on a part of our
business men and will finish today.
The business men and bankers called
on certainly did their part in a liberal
manner. Following are the names of
those who contributed and the amount
donated: Commercial Club, $10;
First National Bank, $10; City Nation-
al Bank, $10; Dr. Long, $2.50; W. C.
Stirling & Sons, $5.00; Z. F. Tramel,
$5.00; H. H. Miller, $5.00; Sheppard ft
McKinney, $2.50; Variety Store, $1.00;
H. W. King, $1,00; Perkins Bros.’ Co.,
$5.00; J. L. Markham Lumber jco.,
$6.00; A. W. Pate, $1.00; E. G. Gilbert,
$1.00; F. W. Patterson, $1.00; R. E.
Bertram ft Co., $5.00; A. G. Lundy,
Grocery Co., $1.00; Theo. Wiegers,
$2.00; Cumming Drug Co., $1.00. The
committee was composed of Dr. W.
Hyde, J. A. Ledbetter and L. H. Mil-
ler, three progressive men of that
community. Several citizens down
in that community have contributed
more than one hundred dollars toward
sanding and claying this road in orflef
to come to this city to transact their
business# as it is the proper place.
This repairing and patching up of
roads is another point in favor of a
bond issue to build the roads and be
dohe with it, and not postpone the
matter any longer, as it works a hard-
ship on our business people anJ
places the burden on a few when really
all want to bear their part We are
preparing to take up this bond issue
next week, for ninety-nine per cent
o the citizens are in favor of It, and
are fully determined to have good
roads.
F. W. MACK, Secretary.
PURSUED BY POSSE.
Clarksville, Tex., July 31.—1:35 a.
m.—Leonard Potts, the negro who kill-
a Dallas policeman, shot and killed
Sheriff Stevens here late tonight and
escaped.
A posse is in pursuit at this hour.
At 1 o’clock this morning Chief of
Police John W. Ryan at Dallas was no-
tified by telegram that Leonard Potts,
the young negro wanted in Dallas for
the killing of Policeman T. A. Ted-
ford, has just shot and killed Sheriff
Charley Stevens of Red River county.
The message read:
“Leonard Potts killed Sheriff Stev-
ens tonight. Tom Ferguson, Deputy."
Policeman Tedford was shot last
Friday evening in Oak Cliff, whe, in
company with his partner, E. R.
Wright, of the mounted police, he was
attempting to arrest Potts. The of-
ficer died Sunday. -
Posses have been searching for the
negro and a general alarm was sent
out.

A MOTHER’S LOVE.
There is an old legend that runs in
this wise. At creation’s dawn an angel
came down to earth, and before return-
ing looked around for something to
carry back to heaven. There were
three thUigs that attracted the atten-
tion of the white-winged messengtWftjgff
a bouquet of sweet flowers that Slpfej|
been gathered from one of earth's
fairest and blooming gardens, the
smile of a little baby that had been
playing with a sunbeam, and a moth-
er’s love. These three the angel car-
ried away. But when he reached the
pearly gates of Paradise, the flowers
had withered, baby’s smile has van-.
ished; only the mother’s love remain-v
ed the same. Being found as pure
and eternal as the waters that flowed
by God’s throne, all the angels th&
ranged about exclaimed in unis&M .:
“There is nothing on earth pure
enough for heaven but a mother’s
love.” This was a tribute containing
a sublime thought,
the ages it has been"
that the angels referred to In that
far-aWay legdhd were hot over-extra-
vagant in the merfs&ge which they
passed out through tins open windows
of the “many mansions” along the
banks of the “river of gold.”—Ex-
change. j
