Weekly Weather Forecast
Issued by the U. S. Weather
Bureau, for the week beginning
September 22, 1915, for Texas:
The weather will be generally
fair, with moderate temperatures
throughout the week.
Winnsboro has two oil mills.
Each mitl owns two gins. They
have a price war on; cotton is
ginned for $1.00 per bale and
seed are selling at $25 per ton,
with a likelihood of it going to $80.
Those Austrians who recently
destroyed a monument erect-
ed ta tae memory of Dante were
not the least bit superstitious.
The Bee says that a good way
to get twelve cents for cotton is
to bring it to Blossom. Fort,
how many bales has Blossom
purchased up to Tuesday, the
21st, at that price?
An esteemed exchange says
Uncle Sam has sent 12,500 sol-
diers tc the borders of Texas
to keep twenty five Texas rang
era from whipping Mexico.
There’s much exaggeration in
the statement, but it gets pretty
close to the truth.—Honey Grove
Signal.
a—a-g-i — ■x.
For the last five or six years
Deporthas always paid more for
prairie cotton than any other
town in this section. The pro-
ducers have realized that fact
and Deport's cotton receipts as-
sure the farmers, in more con-
vincing words than we could
possibly use, that Deport has the
best cotton market in this sec
tion of the state.
At last we have found some
tiling that enjoys perpetual
youth. The master mechanic of
the Sunset lines, in a hearing
before the Railroad Commission
at Austin Monday, stated that a
locomotive lives on indefinitely
by renewals and is seldom ever
discarded as scrap iron because
of age. SSSBB!amammsaaat
A Statement given out by
the postoffice department at
Washington shows that 6,000
new rural routes have been es
tablished under Burleson’s ad
ministration, but the rep >rt fails
to state how many have been
discontinued. The Postmaster
General is an enthusiast when it
comes to saving money for his
department, but it was not es-
tablished to make money for the
Government, and to do this at
the expense of inadequate ser-
vice on our rural routes is the
poorest kind of economy.
are not going to apologize
for again telling you that it pays
to advertise. Mack Read looked
a week for a pig that strayed
from his premises. A 20 cent
ad located the animal on the day
Tlie Times was delivered en the
rural routes.
The 8outh is backward. Tt
shames the United States by il-
literacy and incompetence. Its
hill men and poor whites, its
masses of feared and bullied
blacks, its ignorant and vtolent
politicians, its rotten industrial
conditions and its rotton social
ideas exist in circumstances
which disgrace the United States
in the thought of Americans and
in the opinion of foreigners. The
South is half educated. It is a
region of illiteracy, blatant, self-
righteousness, cruelty, and vio-
lence. Until it is improved by
the invasion of better blood and
better ideas it will remain a re-
proach and a danger to the
American Republic. — Chicago
Tribune.
The Tribune calls itself "the
World’s Greatest Newspaper,”
If the above is a fair sample of
its editorials, it should change
that motto to "the World’s Great-
est Liar.” It’s editor is aRhame
and disgrace to the profession.
Talk about illiteracy—a man
who knows as little about the
South as is indicated by the
above should be given a position
digging trenches for sewer pipes.
Furthermore, a citizenship that
will allow such a statement to go
unchallenged is not worthy of
the patron ge of the South. The
next time a representative of a
Chicago manufacturer or jobber
bobs up in our stores, the above
article should be placed under
his nose and his feet directed to-
ward the front door. We hope
our farmer friends who have
been in the habit of patronizing
certain mail order^houses locat
ed in Chicago, will read the above
article from the Tribune a sec-
ond time..
A Good Cotton Market.
One day last week eleven bales
of cotton were offered for sale at
Deport, and the best bid offered
was 10.10c. Not satisfied with
the price, the owners brought
their cotton on to Detroit and
sold the entire list at 11c.
This is only a fair example Of
the better prices paid here than
at nearby towns.
Bring your cotton to Detroit
and get best prices. Buy your
supplies here and save money.—
Detroit Herald.
Bro. Crosby it appears incred-
ible that there has ever been, at
any time, 90 points difference in
the Detroit pnd Deport markets.
Now don’t squirm, just remain
quiet and answer a few ques-
tions: You are aware that dur
ing the past two weeks cotton
has increased in price nearly a
cent a pound for each of the
weeks. Was the cotton to which
you refer offered lor sale at De
port and hauled t'o Detroit and
sold on the same day or was it a
week or two weeks later? Was
tiie cotton pu rchased to settle an
account? Can and will you pro-
duce the names of the seller and
buyer? Our buyers tell us that
there has not been a bale of cot-
ton offered for sale here and
then hauled to Detroit, to say
nothing of a list of eleven bales.
Our people are interested, and
in the name of truth and justice
-we ask for facts.

Cotton is making a splendid
turnout this year, most of it
more than thirding itself.
1 Renon McDowra, Vollie Mer-
rit and Cecil McDowra are in

of buying the Odd Fellows hall.
Pattonville stock brought back
three blue ribbons from the fair,
that was ail the stock that was
entered from here.
Pattonville, Sept. 20.—The cot-

in this part of the country.

B. Thomas, H. H. Oldham, W, H.

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
Alter Four Tear* of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bollock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter
llrom this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "I suffered for four ./
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, 1 would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat-
ment relieved me for a while, but 1 was
on confined to my bed again. After
tliat, nothing seemed to do me any good.
1 had gotten so weak 1 could not stand,
and 1 gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 com-
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. 1
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helpe
more than a million women, in its
years of wonderfyl success, and si-
surely help you, too. Your druggist iia*
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom-
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

We are at considerable extra expense, oper-

service than you can otherwise receive. We are not re-
ceiving the cooperation of our patrons which we feel we
