AIR BUBBLES—
LOCAL REPORTER
“It’s a long road,” says an
old proverb, ‘‘That has no
turning,” and the long trail ot
film laughter and fun *■- down
which Fatty Arbuckle made
his way into the hearts of
America’s thousands has at last
found its turning into a'lane
of black tragedy. In spite of
our horror af the terrible situ-
ation we believe in every man
“getting his,” and in due jus-
tice we wish to say that any
man person who has brought
a wealth of sunshine and
laughter into this old world of
ours has played a mighty part
upon the stage of life.
The easiest thing it is to tell
A friend what he should do,
But quite a different thing it
is to do,
When it is up to you.
It is said that there are on-
ly two classes of people in the
world who know the art of
rearing children. Namely, old
maids and bachelors. Of the
institute we would say that
there are only one class of peo-
ple who knew where it should
be held, namely, those who
don’t attend.
We have heard of people
w’ho would mortgage their
homes in order to buy a Ford,
but the man who recently
murdered in a most brutal
fashion, two fellow men in
order that he might become
the possessor of a Packard,
surpasses all our knowledge of
mankind.
When you’ve tried to give
yc ar best and the world has
given you its kicks, when you
are down and out and the way
seems hopeless, don’t stop. Re-
member, Christ was the son
of God and the wordl cruci-
fied Him. What can you ex-
pect?
The thing that gets our goat1
more than anything else, ip to
boost in a friendly manner
some business institution, and
then later learn said business
institution is oedering its sta-
tionery from some outside
printing house without evert
showing us the courtesy to get
our prices. This doesn’t occur
often, if it did w; would quit
the printing business. In most
instances the home town peo-
ple are loyal to the home town
printer. But not so long ago,
we kindly donated several
inches of good space to “hot
airing” about another home
towm institution, and almost
fainted when *we learned, a
few weeks later, that the con-
cern was ordering supplies in
our line, without giving us a
chance to submit prices and
samples. This is an instance of
“reciprocity” breaking down.
The men of this nation
should rise up as one man and
firmly stand for equal rights
in the Courts. Their rights
are nil, and their safety and
their lives have no valuation in
some instances in our Courts.
The latest instance of this dis-
crimination against the male of
tl?e species, when a woman
was fined $25 in Court at Ft.
Worth a few days ago for
shooting her husband. Think
of it men! Your wife can
shoot you and escape with a
paltry fine of a few dollars.
A few ’days ago the little
child of a couple living at
Grand Prairie was run over by
an auto. The parents placed
the little sufferer in their car
and began a life and death
race for a hospital at Dallas.
A few miles out the bearings
of the cur burned out, and
with the dying child in their
arms, they plead with the
drivers of two cars to carry
them to the city, but were re-
fused, and before they could
secure medical treatment, life
had gone from what to them
was the most precious of all
treasures. Surely the milk of
human kindness has ceased to
exist, and Bolshevistic Russia
can hold no more cruel ex-
amples than this.
MR. GEORGE ALLEN
DIED IN CORSICANA
Mr. George Allen, who has
been seriously ill three or
four weeks-in the hospital at
Corsicana, with a blood dis-
ease, died last Wednesday af-
ternoon, and his remains were depot at Teague last Wednes
The Ku Klux Klan staged
a big parade in Mexia one
night last week, which was
witnessed by thousands of
people. Numerous banners
ware displayed during the pa-
rade, one of which warned
negroes to go to the cotton
fields. It is said next day
there were no loafing negroes
in Mexiu. The same slogan
should have been applied to
loafing white men. There
should be no place for the loaf-
er and idler, white or black.
There are people in this
world who consider a dollar
of more value than a human
soul.
Our idea of a boy who is out
of luck these days is the boy
\rho stands in the Church door
and tries to locate his sweet-
heart by the color of her hat.
“There are men and women
in this world with gray hair,”
says Dr. Jewell of the Arkan-
sas University, “Who have nev-
er yet seen a sunset.” After
all this is a beautiful world
we’re living in, and we feel a
sincere pity for the soul that
has not the ability to look out
across the waste of mud and
catch the glory of a flaming
West.

They call A. & M. a lot of
rough necks, and though our
souls are filled with a love of
romance and culture, yet from
our personal observations we
have reached the conclusion
that it takes some “Rough-
necks” after all to keep this
old world of ours on its feet.
Fatty Arbuckle, the great
moving picture comedian, and
well known personally in
Texas cities, is held in jail
at San Francisco, Cal., on a
murder charge growing out of
the death of Miss Virginia
Rappe, a noted movie actress.
It is alleged she died from in-
juries received at a “booze”
party given by Arbuckle in
his rooms.
The floods in Southwest Tex-
as last Friday night came sud-
d e i' 1 y and twenty-three
inches of rainfall in a few
hours were reported at some
places. Lives were lost in
many sections, railroads wash-
ed out, and millions of dol-
lars property lost.
Recently we mentioned the
road work being done by
Corns. Newman on the road be-
tween Butler and Oakwood.
The Oracle mentions the fact
that Freestone County Is put-
ting up $100.00 while Oakwood
people and some of those on
the road are putting up the bal-
ance.
It is said moving picture
theatres in the leading cities of
the United States are cancel-
ling bookings of Fatty Ar-
buckle films as a result of mur-
der charges against him.
Owners of horses and
blooded stock are large users

stroys health and vitality.

When dinner.,..is ready the
whole family volunteers, but
when the dishes are to be
washed mother has to do some
drafting.
With 20 arrests last Sunday
in one Texas city for drunken-
ness, we are compelled to ad-
