Billy Bryan has crawled in behind
Fort Commoner and is occasionally
shooting his tariff pop-gun at Texas
in general and Joe Bailey in particu-
lar. At intervals he is doctoring a
severe cold, which he caught in Texas.
With the united effort of every bus-
iness man and citizen of Decatur, this
town could be made to continually
grow in business and population. One
horse could not move a stump, .neith-
can twenty, pulling one at a time; but
with the united strength of twenty
horses, the stump will come. So, the
spasmodic spurt of one or two citizens
or the unorganized efforts of many
cannot compare with the united, all-
together pull of a few.

It is in time of sudden mishap or
accident that Chamberlain's Liniment
can be relied upon to take the place
of the family doctor, who cannot al-
ways be found at the moment. Then
it is that Chamberlain’s Liniment is
never found wanting. In cases of
sprains, cuts, wounds and bruises,
Chamberlain’s Liniment takes out the
soreness and drives away the pain.

It is probable that President Taft
will retire after his first term on ac-
count of the ill health of his wife.
That may mean four more years of
Teddy, unless the Democrats can find
a Moses to lead them out of the wild-
erness. Bryan has played out in the
Moses role—he has the party more
than ever hopelessly lost in the dense
political forest.

Sonny, never be ashamed of your
old-fashioned mother, or slight her
because she is not as up-to-date or
fashionable as that silly girl you feed
on taffy. That old and wrinkled face
was once beautiful and rosy—worry
for you has caused the lines of care
and tinged her once golden hair with
gray; for love of you she has toiled
thru weary years till her hands are
withered and her form is bent beneath
the weight of age, always longing and
praying for your happiness and suc-
cess. With all your devotion you
could never half repay the debt of
gratitude you owe your mother. Try
to make her decling days the hap-
piest of her life: throw the sweetest
roses in her pathway that the evening
of her life may go out in peace.

SAND
I observed a locomotive in the rail-
road yards one day.
It was waiting in the roundhouse where
the locomotives stay;
It was panting for the journey, it was
. coaled and fully manned.
And it had a box the fireman was fill-
ing full of SAND.
It appears that locomotives cannot
always get a grip
On their ■slender iron pavement, 'cause
the wheels are apt to slip,
And when they reach a slippery spot
their tactics they command
And to get a grip upon the rail they
sprinkle it with SAND.
If your track is steep and hilly, and
you have a heavy grade,
And if those who’ve gone before you
have the rails quite slippery made:
If you ever reach the summit of the
upper tableland,
You'll find you’ll have to do it with a
liberal use of SAND.
If you strike some frigid weather and
discover to your cost
That you’re liabel to slip on a heavy
coat of frost,
Then some prompt, decided action
will be called into demand,
And you'll slide clear to the bottom if
you haven’t any SAND.
You can get to any station that is on
life’s schedule seen,
If there’s ffre beneath the boiler of
ambition’s strong machine,
And you'll reach a place called Rich-
town at a rate of speed that’s grari
If for all the slippery places you’ve a

a feeling of humiliation and shame
at not seeing Wonderful Wise repre-

and several of them were from the

even the best exhibits could have been
equalled, if not surpassed, by a show-

It was an opportunity wasted, for
thousands of people daily examine
the displays, and the advertisement

In the meantime, Decatur continues
to pay the farmer the very top of the
market for his cotton. For honest

Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Decatur Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
Danger Signal No. 1 comes from
the kidney secretions. They will warn
you when the kidneys are sick. Well
kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid.
Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale
and foamy, or a thick red, illsmelling
urine, full of sediment and irregular
of passage.
Danger Signal No. 2 comes from
the back. Back pains, dull and heavy
or sharp and acute, tell you of sick
kidneys and warn you of the approach
of dropsy, diabetes and Bright’s dis-
ease. Doan's Kidney Fills cure sick
kidneys and cure them permanently.
Here's Decatur proof:
C. D. Cates, farmer, 2 1-2 miles
north of Decatur, Texas, says:
“About a year ago I was suffering
from an attack of kidney trouble, the
greatest annoyance being from too
frequent passages of the kidney secre-
tions. A friend advised me to try
Doan’s Kidney Pills and I procured
a box from C. B. Gunn’s drug store.
They helped me so greatly that I pro-
cured more and took in all the con-
tents of about five boxes By the end
of that time my condition was much
better. I have no hesitation in recom-
mending the remedy which brought
about this benefit.”
