The gsing dry of South Cardins
puts nineteen states in the dry col-
uma, and the entire South, east of
the Mississippi, except Florida, und-
er prohibition.
The bell weevil will soon have
covered the entire cotton belt and
will make it extremely hard for the
rainy belts to grow the fleecy staple
thus reducing the production and
raining the prices.
The only way for a town to make
a city is to do things on a big scale
and attract people from smaller
places. There is room every thirty
miles for a good size town and a
number of smaller ones, in anything
like a good farming section.
The News has no quarrel with
Lytle—Lovely Lytle—and we are
real sorry that some of its folks, and
our friends, up there got so stirred
up about a lot of their people tinn-
int and trading in Devine. If we
misrepresented things we will gladly
correct them We hope they will
let the loyally to their own town be
not in word only, but in deed. If
they come to Devine we will treat
1 them right and they will want to
come again
/ ==================
If this Editor experiences shot
falling around him promiscuously, a-
gain, as he did one evening this
week, at his own home, in the in-
corporate limits of the town, he ex-
pects to invoke the law, sod if there
is no law, have an ordinance framed
prohibiting hunting within the in-
corporated limits of the town with
- fire arms. Several times recently
ehot and bullets have fallen about
our premises and a pet squirrel
belonging to the family wee hilled.
A few bad Mexicans on the border
made it bad for their Nationality.
No doubt many good Mexicans suf
fered. It must be said to their credit
in Devine that they did not try to
celebrate deis y seis, or even wear
. their national colors; and if there is
a bad hombre in the whole lot, we
fail to know him. Both the Ameri-
cans and Mexicans here refuse to en-
courage rowdyism, of any kind and
it ia a rare thing that one ever dis-
turbs the pecce in even the smallest
way.
bales of cottes is one day, coming to
Devine from that neighborhood and
this writer can produce the names,
if necessary, of nine others who
were here on one day. One of the
Lytle merchants used nearly a col-
umn on the first page of that paper
last week, in s fit of envy and jeal-
ousy, berating Device merchants and
giving an instance of one man com-
int to Devine—just one that be re-
members, .
Tbs advertising in this issue
would not pay a toed printer his
day’s salary, and we don’t trade in
Devise, but live and trade here. Let
us have more ade, or we will have
is arrange to square up like the
Lytle Herald did.—Lytle Arrow.

months for his ads. It was a very
“cheap”ad.

Moneygrams
An ad. In this paper for
any business whatever is
a moneygram to the buy-
ins public from you.
They appreciate your
belief in their financial
! standing.
They buy your goods.
A moneygram never was
marked “collect."
The currency pours into
your cash bos of its own
free will. -
If your bargains are advertised
"bis." your sales are big
People appreciate big, strong,
forceful trade announcements.
Such ada. Inspire commercial
confidence.
GET WISE, ADVERTISING
TIME It TO-DAY
lo.frtrw um, w N. U.
People who have gone to the
larger cities to buy goods generally
find that they pay as much or more
than in Devise. One trouble here is
so many business men and their
families run to the city for whet
they should buy from the other
merchants of their home town.
The papers explain that owing to
the delinquency in tax paying only
$7. of the $8. set aside last year
in school apportionment, was paid
and if this is collected this year and
added to the 96 apportioned the re-
sults may not be so bad as first la-
dies ted.
The merchants of Lytle admit
that too much of their business goes
to Sen Antonio and Devine. There
is no Ms abusing any one about it.
Let the Lytle merchants wake up,
advertise, and deliver the geode
and it will atop.
One hardly knows what to expect
in this country, in the way of n fall
or top crop; but with the soaking
rains of the past week, sad should
it not frost till December 15th, as is
often the case, there are immense
possibilities ahead, for our farmers.
In thirty days, with warm weath-
er, the cotton fields of this section
will be loaded with green bolls,al-
most without a doubt—but, will it
mature and open? Blooms are
plentiful now.
There are more children in the
schools of this section, according to
last weeks reports, than were before
in the history of this country. The
Devins school reports about fifty
more than last year.

Floresville, an elder and larger
town than Devine, one a county seat
tows, is just now putting in street
lights, having only recently installed
a light plant.
Pure old unadulterated envy and
jealousy makes some people very
miserable and causes them to say
and do some very foolish things.
The boll weevil has spread rec-
ently into Georgia and Florida. Ths
Ists gulf storm is said to have driven
hordes of these peats seventy-five
miles further on.
The merchant who forgets to ad-
vertise should not Complain when
the buyer forgets that he is in busi-
ness. It is just a case of "forget"
all around.—Jourdanton Monitor.
