Insects are the greatest enemy
to crops.
A live town has a "welcome"
sign displayed on the public
square.
Mrs. Lillie Loath was nomina-
ted county treasurer of Upshur
county over five opponents for
the place.
The cool August days hare
been with us since Sunday and
are a great relief from the high
temperature of.) uly.
In order to properly develop
the vast resources of Texas; rail;
road outlets should dot this
state like a myriad of stars.
The Winsboro News has en-
tered its fourth year with every
evidence of a substantial growth.
May it continue to improve.
Texss merchants jouroey to
eastern markets not because
they can buy noods cheaper but
because they think they can.
Lack of system and co-opera-
tion has caused the ruin of many
men. Lack of team work has
retarded the growth of many
cities.
Trade centers develop a sec-
tion faster than any other means
but busines goes hand in hand
with transportntion facilities su
boost for our navigation.
The proposed amendments to
the State Constitution now in
the Jimplecute will appear only
four times. They contain some
important [joints and should be
carefully read by every voter
also a copy of them preserved
for reference at voting time in
November.
With the present indications
of a bountiful corn crop and an
imtneuse cotton outlook; plenty
of money furnished in the state
to tin&nce distress cotton all
kinds of forage for stock our
almost unprecedent fruit crop
and the general prosperity all
over the United States it does
look as though the present high
cost of living could be reduced
ao that the laboring classes
would be able to have something
to buy at least more than u bare
living. _______
triteness courtesy willing
ness to be helpful and accomnda
line friendliness are some
time* considered small things
and a waste of time when* a rush
tor money getting is the great
problem. This is a mistake for
when all of the citizens of a town
or city ci*«nbine together to
hi bit these traits. e*i>eciaily to
strangers it will bo found one of
the greatest drawing card-* to
business and investors.
One of-th« strongest reasons
why visitors and strangers * ill
like sech a place is Uxause
"everybody there seems so
friendly tad obliging."
FROM CULBERSON
AND SHEPPARD.;
An stated in a telegram from
Texarkana in this issue Con-
gressman Morris Sheppard went
to Washington to be at the hear-
ing Monday on the closing of

ceived by Mayor Hussey and
Hon. B. F. Sherrell from Senator
C. A. Culberson and Congress-
man Morris Sheppard make it
assured that Jefferson's interest
will be protected by the govern-
ment and that our Senator and
Congressman will protestagainst
the closing of Twelve-Mile Bay-
ou and protect the rights of the
people of this section to the last.

Hon. J. B. Hussey Mayor

Representative Sheppard and
myself api>eared at the hearing

taken under advisement and I
believe Jefferson will be fully
protected.

Hon. B. F. Sherrell
Jefferson Texas.
Hearing held this morning.
Gen. Bixby assures us that de-
partment will not permit Twelve
Mile Bayou to be closed unless
levee board will provide water-
way through new channel equal
in every respect to present chan-
nel. This will improve pros-
pects for navigation.
Morris Sheppard.

Evidently the people want the
local option law enforced in Up-
shur county and it is well.
Dallas with its $25000000 worth
of property rented for saloons
and brothels paralizing the
churches the banks and all
business men can continue to
support saloons but we can do
better in Upshur.—Gilmer Mir-
ror.
Any town no matter what its
size can better itself without
saloons to paralize all good busi-
ness.
Orange Texas has a paper mill
that turns out paper made from
wood shavings and employs
thre hundred hands. This is
what makes a town and keeps it
up. —Gilmer Mirror.
The Jimplecute has always
advocated factories for Jefferson.

Are Yon (iolnf to CoUtH?
The season in at hand when
young people must decide the
fateful question of what College
to attend. A wise choice has
much to do with the success of
one's lift* Some of the que*
tions to In* considered are (1> is
the institution permanent?
Is it adequately sup|>orted tinan
cially? (3) Has it a com|>etent
faculty ? (4) Will a degree from
it help to (five me a standing?
(5) Does it offer the courses I
especially desire?
The University of Texas has
the biggest and among the weal-
thiest States of the Union behind
it. As long as Texas lasts the
University will endure. It has
by far the largest income of any
University in the South. Its
faculty more than 150 in num-
ber hold the highest degrees
gived by the leading Universities
of Europe and America. During
the twenty nine years of its life-
it has issued 3.7(>0 degrees.
Seven members of these degrees
art; now members of the ('on
gress of the United States; four
are judges of the Court of Civil
Appeals; many hold professors'
chairs in such seats of learning
as Harvard Columbia John
Hopkins Princeton. Pennsylva-
nia California Iceland Stanford
Chicago; hundreds are teachers
in the best schools of Texas; oth
er hundreds are well known law-
yers doctors ministers engin
eers business men journalists
farmers. All are doubtless bet-
ter equipped for success and
happiness for having gone to
College.
The Universiy of Texas offers
the liberal education that every
person should wish for. It
maintains besides special or
professional courses in law
medicine civil engineering elec
trical engineering architecture
pedagogy domestic science li-
brary science business training
assaying and many others. If
you wish to know more about

tin Texas.
Alter The Conflict
The greaf state conflict of 191 *2
lias passed into history. The
candidates for political honors
have made a noble fighti and
those who have failed to reach
the goal of their ambition have
nothing of which to be ashamed.
While few campaigns have
been more intense and heated
none have been conducted on a
higher plane or more free from
the personalities and coarse
billingsgate which have hereto-
fore been a disgrace to the state
and some particular candidates.
Ill-advised action of overzealous
partisans was an exception not
the rule and The Mirror com-
mends the "boys" for their uni
form high-toned course during
the entire campaign. The world
loves a "good loser" and hates
the fellow who holds a grudge.
Therefore it is the part of good
democrats good citizens and
good men for the defeated to
meet the situation cheerfully and
join in the cheering for the suc-
cessful administration and look
forward for better political for-
tunes in the future. Gilmer
Mirror.
While cleaning up the tax col-
lectors ofHce at the court house
Monday Uncle Harry Terrell
dumped some papers near the
the old cistern at the site where
the Mechanics Fire Company
house stood and set them on fire.
Everything being so dry the
rubbish caught in the cistern
which was nearly tilled up and
the stuff burned nearly all day
and looked like a small size burn
ing gas well.
The number of street or road
accidents in the I'nited Kingdom
caused by vehicles in l'.Ul was
35-10 of which lr>r>s were fatal.
In Ijondon there were 33."> fatal
and K5MW other accidents. U"
the former 155 were caused by
motor cars vans <n- motorcycles
U'T by motor omnibusses and "JO

The N« ws editoi talked with a
man d I»alla> Monday who is a
believer in adv<?rti<*in|f to the ex
tent of $70(xi) a year Right
yoarsago he w.is "dead broke"
and running a hat cleaning place.
Now lie is worth a million and a
half dollars and has made the
money by selling good hats and
doing good advertising Such
men do not' advertise "just to
help the paj>er." (Jar land
News.
The man you conversed with
was we gather one of the dele-
gates to the Admen's convention
held in this city. Literally he
was the architect of his own for-
tune and instead of being satis-
fied with a one-room structure
ho reared a stately edifice of
which he and his neighbors are
justly proud. That man might
have gone on in fair contentment
at the business of cleaning hats
and lived and died a respected
and not unhappy man. But he
chose to expand. He had a gen-
ius for larger things and he
called in the aid of printers ink.
Now he spends a fortune every
year in advertising and the big
ger his advestising bills become
the better ho is able to pay them.
That is the sort of man who wins
in the advertising game. He
advertises wisely and well and
from his humble shop and his
soggy sponge he has gone to a
massive establishment and a
gold pen—the latter to sign
checks and figure profits with.
There are now and will always
be hereafter many little ones in-
variably will be the non-adver-
tisers. Whether it is better to
be a big one than a little one is
for the individual to decide for
himself.—States Press.
