tjjaiered at the Postoffice at Shinei.Tex.,
as second-class mail matter.
Spilth Texas Sheep Bring
a Fine Price.
This office is insured in the Printers
Mutual Fire Insurance Association in-
corporated under the laws of Texas.
The special stssi hi of the leg-
islature is coiled to meet on April
pth. We hope the capital ghost
will have disappeared by that
time.
Tire lighting in Europe still
continues without any appreci-
able advantage on either side.
The French claim some little ad-
yantage in the west, but will
they ne able to hold it? The
hardest lighting has been in the
Carpathian mountains, between
the Russians and the Austrians,
where millions of men are en-
gaged.
In spite of the fact that all of
the reports we read in regard to
the-foreign policies of this gov-
ernment are signed and,sent out
by W. J. Bryan, Mr. Bryan is
now trying to shift the responsi-
bility of these acts to the should
ers of President Wilson. While
it is well that Mr. Wilson should
know all that is going on with
our relations to foreign countries’
yet we believe that Mr. Bryan is
the prime factor in all these ne-
gotiations and that President
Wilson defers to his judgment.
General Victorians Huerta, the
murderer of President Madero
and rice president Saurez, has
been permitted to set foot on
American soil and has issued a
stafcemenj^ta^j^e - offset that he
fwas not respmioible for the kill-
ing of Madero, but that he knows
who did it and is bound not to
divulge it, as it is the “profes-
sional secret of a soldier.” Mr.
Huerta did the killing himself or
what amounts to the same thing,
had it done. It was a mistake to
permit him to land in this coun-
try, for if there ever was an “un-
desirable” it is old man Huerta.
He has already cost this country
millions of money and is respons-
ible for the killing of twenty of
our brave boys at the capture of
Vera Cruz. This is another big
mistake that will be used by the
republicans when the next na-
tional campaign rolls around.
Tke Reps will certainly not lack
campaign thunder and we fear
the Wilson-Bryan administration
will be doomed to defeat. Judg-
ing from the advices being sent
©ut from New York the Madero
family are all located there at
present, and if some one of them
don't take advantage of the op-
portunity to rid the earth of old
Huerta, we are greatly mistaken
in their make-up.
South Texas was in the lime
light on the local hog and sheep
yards Monday when O. W. Emkin
of Shiner disposed of 58 clipped
\ ending sheep, avorauing 72
'pounds, at $8 25, and 20 hogs,
awraging old pounds, nr $7.15.
The price for the sheep was
t he best ever paid on this market
for the type of stuff, while the
lings made the market’s top.
Mr. Em'nn is a progressive
farmer and he is careful to make
all of his stuff good.—Fort Worth
Live Stock Reporter.
M r. 0. W. Emken, an old time
friend and for many years a sub-
scriber to the Gazette, called at
the Gazette office ar d showed the
editor a letter received from the
commission house at Fort Worth
which handled.his shipment and
the letter stated substantially
what is printed in the. above
notice. The firm was Messrs.
Campbell and Rosson. Mr. Em-
ken is truly a progressive farmer
and what he has done any other
live.and up-to-date farmer can do.
If you don’t know how, ask O. W.
Emken and he will inform you
,)f tip modus operandi.
An Ideal Citizen.
L’here is a gentleman in this
town, known to us all, who is just
about our ideal of a good citizen.
He is making his money here,
he is raising and educating his
family here, and he expects to
live and die here.
When he has any money to
spend he first looks carefully
over the advertisements in this
paper. If he finds what he wants
he goes there and gives that
merchant the first opportunity.
In everything he buys he
gives the home merchant the
preference.
Ha occasionally buys articles
from abroad, but they are cases
wherein he cannot find that
which he seeks in his own com-
munity.
He believes in his home town,
and because he does believe in it
and intends to continue^ to live in
it he grasps every possible means
of advancing its interests by
keeping his money in circulation
at home.
He, to our mind, is the ideal
CITIZEN.
Would that be were multiplied
a thousand fold. *
For we need more of him.—
Moulton Eagle.
Exchange Gossip.
If the democratic party is to re-
main in power it must stick to dem-
ocratic principles. Compromising
wMi socialism isn’t goiog to win
anything. The big bull moose tried

O
To Pensioners
For the inhumation of Confedei-
ate soldiers and the widows of Con-
federate soldiers, I respectfully
state that the affidavit they would
have to make in o'der to obtain a
pension, would be in substance as
follows: That they have no money
or other income amounting to the
value of $300 per annum, or any
real or p rsoual property amount-
ing to $1000.00 excusive of the
homestead, and that they have
li vpd in Texas since prior to Jan. 1,
1900. That the widows of Confed-
erate soldie’s were born prior to
Jan. 1, 1861, were married to such
Confederate soldier prior to Jan. 1,
and never remarried.

Fayette County.
