THE FAIRFIELD RECORDER, FAIRFIELD, TEXAS, JUNE 29, 1928.
Why do> They do It?
In • lengthy editorial recently
the Columbia (S. C.) State said:
"It )■ a remarkable fact that
while a strong, sane, balanced prog-
ressive weekly newspaper would be
worth more to a town of 4,000 pop-
ulation tian a $200,000 factory, the
majority of the business men in such
town would be tremendously active
in getting the factory, while striv-
V ing to keep the support of the pa-
per as near the starvation basis as
possible.”—North Carolina Press.

No News Today!
A reporter in a neighboring town
asked a woman if she could give
him a news item. She thought and
thought and finally admitted regret-
fully that she didn’t know a “single
solitary thing. I’m too excited to
think, anyway,” the woman added,
"because my brother broke his arm
when his house burned down this
morning and I am on my way to
see him.”—Altoona (Kan.) Tribune.
What Time is it?
Abie (calling central)—Vill you
gif me the correct time, please?
Central—We are not allowed to
give correct time.
Abie—Veil, what would it be if
l you were allowed to give correct
I time?”

“Happiest Girl
in Texas”
So many mothers nowadays talk
about giving their children fruit
juices, as if this were a new discov-
ery. As a matter of fact, for over
fifty years, mothers have been ac-
complishing results far surpassing
anything you can secure from home
prepared fruit juices, by using pure,
wholesome California Fig Syrup,
which is prepared under the most
exacting labratory supervision from
ripe California Figs, richest of all
fruits in laxative and nourishing
properties.
It’s marvelous to see how bilious,
weak, feverish, sallow, constipated,
under-nourished children respond to
its gentle influence; how their breath
clars up, color flames in their cheeks,
and they become sturdy, playful,
energetic again. A Texas mother,
Mrs. E. C. Topperwein, 2416 Wyo-
ming St., San Antonio, says: "When
my little daughter, Mildred, was
just two, she became so constipated
that I was badly worried. Then a
fnend got me to give her some
California Fig Syrup. It stopped
her constipation quick; and the way
it improved her color and made her
pick up made me realize how run-
down she had been. She is so
sturdy and well now, aad always in
such good humor that neighbors say
she’s the happiest girl in Texas.”
Like all good things, California
Fig Syrup is imitated, but you can
always get the geruine by looking
for the name, "California” on the
carton.
NERVES
Went to Pieces
1 suffered a long time, before
I tried Cardui.” says Mrs. Lillie
Pruitt, 130 "K” St., Anderson, S. C.
”1 was badly run-down in
health. My nerves Vent to
pieces', and I had to go to bed. ^
"I got so bad off, I could not
bear to hava anybody walk
across the floor of my room.
Tha least little thing upset me.
Sometimes I became hysterical
* I had bad pains in my back and •
aides, and my head and limbs
would take spells of aching,
which almost set me wild.
"One day I snw where a wo-
man, who had u trouble like my
own, had been relieved by Ci rduL
I decided at once to try it It be-
gan to help ma ft om tha very
first. I took Cardui regularly, for
several months, and my improve-
ment was so remarkable my fami-
ly and friends were delighted."
Try Cardui for your troubles.

I USED BY WOMEN FOR
II (WIKMYIARJ
The Luna people in their usual
way greeted an enormous crowd
of people Sunday, following the
singing society, which seems to be
creating much attention. The church
was unable to seat more than half
of the crowd. The singing fell quite
short of the -Sunday before at Cross
Roads; however, many good pieces
were rendered by the Dew quartet,
composed of the Hughes brothers,
their sister, Mrs. A. H. White, Jr.,
and Due Laningham. Asa Stroud,
with his daughters, were quite en-
tertaining with several good num-
bers. A quartet arranged by Park
Mandeville out of the Luna class
met with quite a bit of applause.
More Attention Muit be Given.
It seems to this reporter that it
is absolutely necessary that more at-
tention of the presiding officers of
these various clusses be given to
the entertaining of the great
crowds that are following up these
Sunday evening singings. More at-
tention should be given to the ar-
rangements of the classes whereby
the leaders could face the singers.
The leader is not leading the con-
gregation, he is leading the classes,
which heretofore have been behind
him. The result of which has been
a scattered crowd of voices on ac-
count of not seeing the gestures of
the leader.
More attention should be given to
the grade of music that is used.
Cheap, unmeaning, vague and shal-
low songs should be dispensed with
as near as possible, just as the ten
cent novel has been. The presiding
officer of ench community should
see to it that in his community the
very best entertainment is given.
More attention should be given by
the presiding officer to the enter-
tainment of the congregations as
they are the ones that are fol-
lowing us up and thirsting for
something that is good, some-
thing that is soul-stirring, some-
thing that they can whistle and
hum during the next week, some-
think that is entertaining; to put
it plain, something that will stick
to their ribs. When people drive
twenty or thirty miles to hear mu-
sic they want to hear music, not
drag stuff put on simply to satisfy
some individual (leader) whether
he a professor or an amateur
leader. When we invite people to
a feast let’s give them a feast not
a sau'er of wc-inies and a cup of
cold water. If we announce that
we will begin at 2:00 o'clock let’s
•tert rt 2 o’clock. The farmer who
sleeps an nour past his work time
will not likely ring the goal bell
that afternoon.
Well, perhaps my dear reader,
you wonder why I go into detail
in these matters, and perhaps you
think I have gone beyond my au-
thority as a reporter, which I frank-
ly admit, but I believe that I know
more about music than I know
about anything else, unless it is pull-
ing the bell-cord over c mule, and
I am sure that if we hold our good
crowds and build up the cause that
we have started we must get away
from the stuff that we offered laat
Sunday.
Come to Post Oak next Sunday.

JUDGE BOYD ISSUES
STATEMENT TO VOTERS
Judge W. R. Boyd, of Freestone
County, has two opponents for re-
election, both Limestone County
men. Judge W. T. Jackson of
Limestone County has one oppon-
ent, also a Limestone County man.
This makes four Limestone men and
one Freestone man candidates for
judges of the two judicial districts
composed of Limestone and Free-
stone counties. As Freestone of-
fers a man, able, competent, bon-
iest and in every way fit to hold
such an important place, we feel
| that the people of Limestone Coun-
ty, in all fairness, will concede that
Freestone County is entitled to
furnish at least one of the two
district judges.
Recently in a published state-
ment to the voters, Judge Boyd
said:
“April, 1927, Governor Moody
appointed me judge of the 87th
District Court, to fill the vacancy
created by the death of Judge Bell.
My appointive term expires on Janu-
ary 1st next, and I will have then
served about twenty months. I am
a candidate for the Democ’atic
nomination to succeed myself, and
would appreciate the vote and sup-
port of the Democratic voters of
this District.
"My professional career as an ac-
tive member of the Freestone Coun-
ty Bar is too well known for me
to comment. My record as Judge
is well known to the attorneys who
are actively practicing before the
district courts in Freestone and
Limestone Counties, to those who
have served as jurois and witnesses,
to the litigants and many others.
My record as judge will speak for
itself. For two reasons I shall not
be able to attend the public peak-
ings arranged by candidates to
present their own claims for sup-
port. The first reason is that in
March, for the first time in many
years, I was severely ill. This ill-
ness kept me in bed several weeks
My strength is being rapidly re-
stored and since early in May I
have been holding court at Groes-
beck. It would be possible for me
to attend some and probably all of
the public speakings, but the advice
of my physician is that just at this
time I would be doing so at the ex-
pense of my strength and vitality.
To be perfectly honest, I wish to
use common sense about the matter
and follow the advice of my physi-
cian, in order that I may the more
quickly be fully restored to my
former state of almost perfect good
health. The second reason is that
I must finish the present term of
court and immediately thereafter go
to Fairfield to hold the four weeks’
July term. The docket there is
very heavy. The public will appre-
ciate the necessity for my transact-
ing the business of the court without
interruption merely to look after
my own personal interest.
“I call to the attention of the
voters of Limestone County that I
have no opponent from Freestone
County where I live and whsre the
public best know my qualifications
and the state of my health. It is
generally conceded by a large ma-
jority of the bar of Limestone
SENATOR GLASS
A Great Hunter.
A certain Hebrew gentleman once
went to Africa on a hunting trip.
When he came back the home folks
gave him a testimonial dinner, and
somebody asked him to tell about
his most terrifying experience.
“Veil,” he said, "vun night I was
valking out from the kemp, and I
heppened to think 1 had forgotten
my gun. But I don’t care. 1 am
a brafe man—I valk on. Purty
soon I hear a noise, and I look to
my right, and there is a lion! And
I look to my left, and there is a
toger. I look behind me, and it
was a elephant. I look in front of
me, and it is a rinoceross. 1 say,
veil, I must climb a tree, and there
is a leopard!”
He paused. His audience was
breathless. One quavered. “My*
vot happened to you?”
The hunter swelled his chest:
“Vot happened to me?” he demand-
ed. “Vot could heppen to me? I
was killed!"—Ex.

SICKLY, PEEVISH CHILDREN
Children suffering from intest inal worms
sre cross, restless nnd unhealthy. There
are othaa symptoms, however. If the
child is pale, has dark rings under the
eves, baa breath and takes no interest in
play, it is ulmost a certainty that worms'
are eating away its vitality. The surest
remedy for worms is White’s Cream Vermi-
fuge. It is positive destruction to the
worms but hurmless to the child. Price
