There are said to be only 1000
soldiers in the garrison of Mexico
City. Purporting to want laborers,
many are conscripted into the
army and made to wear the uni-. _
forms of soldiers already killed in is some misshap. The company es-
battle.
This is a great age of spludge and
show and you never know how much
a man owes by the show he makes.
Often when he puts on a bold front
and appears to be doing wonders he
is only “whistling to keep up ap-
pearances."
Reons in certain parts of Mexico
are worked under lash and flotted
daily for not doing more, ee bit
plantations in Southern Mexico.
The old stories of slavery are tame
affairs to some we now hear of from
the land of the ancient Montezumas.
The Modern Woodmen of America
had 1166,207 members last year
and paid out $10,929,477.60. The
order was established in 1883 and
is the biggest fraternal insurance
order in America. The W. 0. W. is
younger and is the strongest order
in Texas.________________
Our friend J. D. McLain hands as
a copy of the “National Rip Saw,"
with strong endorsements. The Rip
Saw says a lot of good things and
stands squarely for the laboring man
in the U. S. and Mexico but a man
is liable to become an over-enthu-
siast if he doesn't use a grain of salt
with some things he reads in the
Rip Saw._______________
We are informed that Commission-
er R. E. Dixon of Centerville con-
templates improving the road East
from the Ridgeway ferns by the
Brummet Cemetery. This rood would
help both Bigfoot and Devine. It
on a direct route to Bigfoot, and if
they so desire they could come over
a graded road from the Mechler farm
on the Devine. It is an important
road and The News hopes Mr. Dix-
will get the citizens to join in and
fix the bad places.
It is well, perhaps that the Legis-
lature has adjourned. There seems
to be an open war oa and it will
grow worse until after the July elec
tions. Colquitt has vetoed nine
new bilh that have been passed up
to him.—Devine News.
The indications are certainly
favorable for the warmest July the
State has ever had. It will be par-
ticularly bad on the spellbinders
who will be stumpiag the State at
that time.—S. A. Express.
Saloon campaign headquarters at
Houston, has sent us an immense
amount of matter this week about
the "Failure of Prohibition" in
Kansas, Maine, etc and how awful it
is to disturb our present prosperous
conditions in Texas by the coming
campaign. So far as we caa see
there is no disturbance about De-
vine over the matter and two thirds
of our state has no saloons and we
don’t see but these parts are as pros
perous as those that have them It
seems to be disturbing the liquor
crowd more than any body else.
Whether done by taxation, or
otherwise, the people have to make
the roads. Every mile of good road
add’s materially to the value of lands
near them. Our farmers about De-
vine have, by the help of the busi-
ness men of the town paying for
shovelers of dirt, clayed many miles
of good road Let the progressive
citizens of each community get to-
gather, set a day or week, when
teams are idle, and try claying a bit
of the worst road. A few days by
all hands will don tot of good. A
little work done each year and in a
few years we will have good roads.
Rome was not built in a day, nor
was the great Chinese wall. Let us
keep up the good roads movement
until we have good roads every-
where.
Manager W.P. Bishop informs us
that three new Farm Telephone
lines are to go in soon, unless there
timated that there would be twenty
five new hoses added to our‘ex-
change in 1911 and Mr Bishop thinks
by the last of April he will have this
number. One of these lines to to
run east from town and take in F.
Kempfs farm, L H. Clemons, F. W.
Ludwig J. B. Burch and others.
One line is to run north and take in
J. G. Roach, D. H. Barnes, J. A. Craw
ford ranch. R. J. Killough. J. G. Lilly
and others. We learn that the other
is to go west, or north west, but
didn’t learn just who is to be includ-
ed on thia line, but there are in all
about thirty new subscribers for the
newlines. The extra lineman are
here, will put in new poles, string
3,000 feet of new cable and add
another section to the hry board.
Wants To Buy.
We have more people who want
to buy than we have who waat to

$3,200,000.Per Tor
- For Fuel,
Pretty high price to pay for fuel
isn’t it? A farmer in Illinois sold
$300.00 worth of corn last spring.
He asked for cash, and was given
sixty, five dollar bills. To keep the
money safe he hid it in his heating
stove, but failed to tell his wife
about it One day his wife was
cleaning the house, and swept up a
lot of paper aad trash, and put same
in the heating stove, and set fire to
it The trash was soon consumed,
and so was the money. Twenty,
five dollar bills weigh about an
ounce, so figuring on this basis a ton
of five dollar bills would be worth
$3,200,00. .
Moral deposit your money in this
bank, and use wood or coal for fuel,
your money is safe with us, and
wood and coal are much cheaper to
burn. w

Another Smoke Stack.
It takes smoke-stacks and two-
horse wagons to malm a town. Fri-
day morning fifteen stallwart men
assisted Messrs. Fenneman and Dick-
erson is raising the big emoke-stack
over the ice-plant, which is now
ready for operation. By all means
the Creamery should be started, if '
possible. As for the two-horse wag-
on, we have as many of these as
any town in South West Texas, we
suppose.
Carroll-Dubose.
Mr. Lee Carroll and Miss Lena
Dubose stole a march on the old
folks Sunday evening, March 19th,
and came to Devine and were united
in marriage by Justic D. & Roberson,
not being able to locate a minister,
after calling for two of them. Mr.
Carroll is a rising young farmer and
the bride in the eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. H. Dubose, both
of Zigsag, and both have a large num-
ber of friends who join The News In
wishing thema happy voyage through
life.

Fatted in Health
“My, mother died six years ago," writes Miss Ruth
Ward, of Jerseyville, III., "and left me to care for six
children. I had never been strong: and this, with the shock
of her death, was too much for me.
"I failed in health. I was tired all the time and did
not want to go anywhere, nor care for company. I had
the headache all the time and such bearing-down pains.
A very dear friend advised, me to take Cardui, as It
had done her so much good, so I commenced to use it
and now 1 am in good health.”
