ful cough and lung trouble pulled me
down to 115 pounds in spite of many
remedies and the best doctors. And
that I am alive today is due solely to
Dr. King’s Nqw Discovery, which
completely cured me. Now I weigh

As a Rule there is no excuse for it. If you
desire the use of a phone have one put in your
home and be independent, as is your neigh-
bor, whose phone you now borrow. We try
to be accommodating but courtesy and accom-
modation is not due those who continually use
some one else’s phone. It is just like milking
your neighbor’s cow, while the neighbor fur-
nishes the feed. Take a hint and have a tele-
phone of your own installed.

In another column of this issue
will be found the annual state-
ment of the postal receipts for
the year ending December 31st,
1909, and we wish to call special
' attention to it as it gives infor-
mation we are sure Nocona ad-
vertisers are sure to appreciate
and notice. The report not only
shows a vast amount of business
transacted, but is of particular
interest to The News because of
the showing made on second
class mail matter. There are
only two publications in this city
which have the advantage of the
second class rate and the total
number of pounds mailed at this
office shows in the report to be
-8,073 pounds. Of this amount
The News has mailed 2,412
I
pounds or a little more than four
fifths of the whole amount mail-
ed under the second class rate.
This showing is very gratifying
to The News as it is conclusive
evidence that our circulation is all
that we have ever claimed it to
be. The News is read by more
people th..n all the balance of the
papers on the Katy railroad, pub-
lished in Montague county, com-
bined, and the management shall
in the near future, as in the past
do its best to get as many read-
ers as possible, but they must
pay to get it, and then they will
get it regular. The News does
not mail one-third of its list one
week, and the next third the
next week and then give the re-
maining third the last whack at
getting their paper. We mail
every subscriber to The News a
paper every week, and if they do
not receive it we want them to
call our attention to it. But re-
member that The News mails
four-fifths of all the second class
matter at this office and that if
you want to get your goods be-
fore the public the way is, to use
The News. The report of Mr.
Merritt proves conclusively that
the circulation of The News for
the past twelve months ending
Dec. 31st, 1909, was 815 copies
weekly for the year, while now
it is more than that figure, and
shows that the whole amount of
second class matter other than
The News, if the papers were
the same size, would average 163
copies weeely. There are only
two papers published in Nocona
and they only are entitled to a
second class rate of postage, and
The News leaves the report as
it stands.

Doan’s Kidney Pills cure all

Nocona people testify to this.
R. D. Cochran, retired grocery
man, of Nocona, Texas, says: T
am willing to give Doan’s Kidney
Pills my recommendation, as I
think they are the best kidney
remedy in existance. For three
years I suffered almost constant
ly from kidney complaint and in-
flamation of the bladder. The
kidney secretions were profuse
and too frequent in passage and
when being voided were attended
by a scalding sensation. Hear-
ing of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I pro-
cured a box at the Nocona Drug
Co. Although I did not take the
remedy strictly according to
directions, I received great bene-
fit in every way.

At a meeting at the school
house Tuesday night, given by
the Mothers’ Club of Nocona in
the interest of beautifying the
school grounds $55.00 was sub-
scribed by those present for this
purpose. A paper soliciting
subscriptions was circulated last
week by Mr. Tink Williams and
he secured $84.00, and in addition
to this amount the Mothers’
Club already had on band about
$18.00. In all this makes about
$155.00 which the Mothers’ Club
has raised for this purpose, and
the work of grading the grounds
and planting the trees has al
ready begun. The meeting at
the school building was largely
attended considering the weath-
er and those present responded
liberally to the demand made up-
on them. A very interesting
program was rendered and the
auditorium was very tastily deco-
rated in the nation’s colors. The
paper containing the subscrip-
tions will be turned over to some
one and collected in the near
future, but any one wanting to
pay their subscription can do so
at Mr. Field’s store, lie having
the subscription list. There is
yet about $75.00 needed to finish
this work begun by the Mother’s
Club and any who will help this
cause will be doing a good deed,
and it will be appreciated.
