the happy c mdiiion that sur-

constantly appreciate their es-

ters that visit various sections
of the earth at frequent inter-
vals.
Terrific Gulf storms wrought
destruction to life and proper-
ty it) Florida the firs*, of the
week. Georgia also felt the
force of the storm and much
damage is reported in that
state. The past week, the
island of i ■rto Rieo was
swept, hundreds of lives be-
ing lost, half ot the popula-
tion hem.el- *s nd millions of
dollars in property loss. Pres-
ident Coolidge hit* called on
the nation for aid to assist the

Loafers hav» about disap-

should be [nit to work. Too
much acreage in Freestone

cultivation and old lands
should be terraced and im-
proved. Put the loafing acres

program to be given in Wor-
tham, at 7 :30 p. m. on Sept.
27, is said to be "the biggest
program ever presented by the
Shriners in a small town in the
part of the State.”
THE SMALL TOWN
He was t newspaper man.
and he went out to So..th Da-
kota to buy a country weekly.
I But it happened that he was
young, enthusiastic, and ca-
pable. so while he was look-
ing the field over there came
a wire from the advertising
manager of a big daily, offer-
ing him a place on his adver-
tising staff. vast week this
man said:
"Yes, 1 have been success-
ful. I’ve had commendation,
j raises, and all that sort o>'
thing But—I’li never be ex-
actly satisfied until 1 get back
to the country weekly. There’s
something you know—in the
I friendliness of the smaller
towns, in the opportunity you
have to touch shoulders, to
help—that one never finds
here. The rush of the city
stimulates, but sometime l
have the feeling of being a
mere cog in a great wheel.”
The small town—how many
.jokes have been flung at it
—how many have laughed it
down with “nine o’clock”
suggestions, their insinuations
if its monotone of living, their
wise cracks at the place where
ver.vbody knows everybody’s
history and all their family
affairs.
This much is evident—oui
of the even tenor of the small
town’s way there comes a
isatisfaction and content that
the city cannot give. The
gossiping indictment is true—
vo .r neighbors know all tho
skeletons that lurk in your
family closet, but it is also
Itrue that when a shadow fails
I across your threshold, and
tragedy strikes at your fire-
iside—from every corner of
the little town there are
|hands that reach out to help,
and friendly and sympathiz-
ing hearts eager to share the
load.
| We are for the small town
—its enterprises, its pro-
gress. its aims, its ideals—the
dreams and the soul of its peo-
ple.—S. K. in Siloam Springs

as a place w here a newspaper j checks for his sales. Mr. Eric
at; t hrivi and onsequently a j paid the checks as the signa-
place where other lines of tures were genuine. The
business vvill succeed. rhe ’checks had been written by
town which otters poor sup-jthe salesman who had inten-
port to a newspaper does not tionally left room at the left
!offer much of an opportunity
to anything else.—Huntsville
Item.
This is the season of the
year when the faker and
swindler is abroad in the land,
land farmers and others deal-
ng with strangers should be
very careful. Elsewhere in
this issue of The Reporter two
of the most popular swindling
schemes are exposed. The
“new tire" fake is not so new,
at that. But it is being work-
ed all over the country. Old
automobile casings are work-
ed over to look like new,
iwrappings, to simulate new
stock stuff, and sold as new
! tires by peddles with a
“smooth line." A little later
Ion the poultry and turkey
buyer fakes will show up
again. They worked in Milam
County last season, it will be
remembered.—Rockdale Re-
porter.
You read something about
1 you can give the preachers
back to their pulpits. Well,
you can give th epreachers
credit for doing what they can
to influence others to do right
and live right. And their job
cannot always be done from
pulpits alone. They have a
right to preach morality and
right-living anywhere and
everywhere. And they do it
—most of them. But the big
politicians often do not ap-
prove. because it interferes
with their schemes.—Pales-
tine Times.

so that sufficient space was
left to make a forty-seven dol-
lar check out of a one-dollar
check.
Mr Brown went before the
grand jury in Georgetown
Monday morning with the
checks. According to newspa-
per reports, a man was arrest-
ed Saturday in San Saba and
held for authorities at Victoria
on the same charge. This man
it is understood, had a differ-
ent name hut his description
and that of car tallied with
that of the Hutto man.—Tay-

When your ^
Children Cry
for It
Castoria is a comfort when baby is
fretful. No sooner tak'-n than the
little one is at ease. If restless, a
few drops soon bringing content-
ment. No harm dune, for Castoria
is a baby remedy, meant for babies.
Perfectly safe to give the young-
est infant; you have the doctors’
word for that! It is a vegetable
product and you could use it every
day. But it’s in an emergency that
Castoria means most. Some night
when constipation must be relieved
—or colic pains—or other suffering.
Never be without it; *ome mothers
keep an extra bottle, unopened, to
make sure there will always be Cas-
toria in the house. It is effective
for older children, too; read the
boow that comes with it.
