We know people best by what
they do and the crowd they gang
with-talk is cheap.
Considerable damage and suff-
ering was occasioned by the aw
ful cold, especially in the north.|
The Mexican revolution has
about simmered down to guerillo
skirmishing in the mountains of
Chihuahua._________
The legislature meets in Aus
tin ina few days, the governor
will be inaugurated and the "fun
will begin "
Farmers report lands breaking
nicely and much of it will be
turned during the next two
weeks.
China is facing another famine,
millions of her people are facing
starvation, thousands are alrea-
dy dying and the United States
is asked for help.
The News will strive during
the New Year to maintain its
usual serenity and dignity, treat
ng everyone fairly and will not
have "too much’1 politics’
Corners and goers during the
holidays have been too numerous
to mention all. Several little
matters of local interest, coming
late, will be noticed next week.
A fall of about forty degrees
in the temperature in a day and
night, the government thermom-
eter registering fifteen above ze-
ro, made it hard on printers as
well as other livestock. -
Harry Thaw, who slew Stan-
ford White and was adjudged
insane to escape the gallows, is
still confined in a New York assy
lum. His debts are said to be
$453,140. and his assets $129,012.
One may vainly pretend to be
a friend to righteousness and to
good morials but men are known
by the company they keep and
not by thsir words which general
ly counts for little when actions
■ speak otherwise.
Notice the tax collector’s dates
and meet him on his rounds.
Get that poll tax receipt. If you
will be twenty one after Feb. 1st,
you must get exemption certifi-
cate. The law has been changed
- again. Men over sixty need Knot
get exemption certificate.
Attorney General Lightfoothas
promptly notified Mr. Colquitt
that he is able to attend to his
own business. This is, the first
bomb in the fireworks due to ex-
plode about the Capitol of Texas
soon. With the attorney general,
the comptroller and a majority of
the legislature out of harmony
with the new governor and war
clouds of a big battle gathering
we may expect strenuous times
in Texas, in the near future.
The Pear sail Leader gives us
the following on advertising:
"Suppose you sell ten suits of
clothes >. a flay and average $5
profit without advertising. You
have made $50. Suppose you
spend $20. advertising, sell 100
suits at a cheaper price making
only $8. per suit". Your custom
‘ers pay less, you clear more
money and the editor, gets pay
or his work. I n’t that a clear
proposition?
A telegram received here last 4
week stated that Abe Tharp, who :
left his home a few miles east of j
Devine several weeks ago financi $
ally involved, had died in New 5
Mexico, following an’operation for J
apendicitis. His wife and daugh 1
ter still live on the farm Which :
has been advertised for sale in |
these columns. .

nection with their present loca- |
tion and will enlarge their busi :
