Entered at the Postoffice at Asper-
mont, Texas, as second-class mail
matter.
It's a hard hearted preacher
who will dwell on the subject of
future punishment on a hot Sun-
daj* morning.
An Ohio man has invented a
machine that will do away with
typewriter girls. That man's
wife must be a cat.
"Will Tom Watson get the
electoral vote of Georgia."" asks
the Macon Telegraph. Yes;
right where the chicken got the
ax.
Cincinnati proposes to stop the
spooning in the parks thereabout.
We judge from this that Cincin-
nati is thinking of abolishing its
parks.
A Texas physician says that it
is impossible to over eat. Doubt-
less he has reference to the
average man's income, however,
rather than his physical make-up.
Late returns show that W. B.
Crockett of Colorado defeated A.
C. Wilmeth for representative of
the 101st district. For once our
prayers have been answered.
They are selling booze in
walking canes in Birmingham,
Ala. It is said that practically
every man in that town has de-
veloped a limp here of late.
What could be/ more appro-
priate than that candidate Taft
should first rea'd his speech of
acceptance to the man who pre-
sented him with the nomination.
An Indiana man swallowed a
feather a few days ago, and it
was only by the most heroic
effort that his life was saved.
We presume that he was almost
tickled to death.
The truth has been stretched
concerning the "sheath gown"
so a fashion paper avers. A
number of necks have been ab-
normally stretched because of it
too.
Mr. Taft's frankness reminds
us of the old negro who, when
asked by the judge, "Are you
the defendant in this case?" re-
plied, "No, indeed boss; I'se just
the nigger that stole the
chickens."
A prime occasion for an
adequate distribution of the
Standard Oil Company to the
Republican campaign fund is
now presented. If given in the
individual names of Rockefeller,
Rogers, Arch bold, and other
standard magnates the law
against corporations can be
happily evaded.
Do not meddle with a business
you know nothing of unless you
commence at the bottom of the
ladder and round after round,'
work towards the top. For if
you are successful enough to
reach the top round you will then
find plenty to applaud and assist.
But he who commences at the top
of the ladder finds it an easy mat-
ter to descend, and oft times with
great rapidity. And when he
has reached the bottom he finds
hundreds there waiting to kick
him.

OUR WAY:—Think Clearly; A
Will fearlessly; act immediately \
Our greatest rulers have been
advocates of popular education.
Our greatest nations owe their
greatness to the intellectual pow-
ers of each individual. Our best
towns are making the school,
Education's battle ground, their
first consideration. Our best
families make the education of
their children their chiefest con-
cern. Our future rests upon
the studious mind.
Many years ago there were in
Greece two rival cities, Sparta
and Athens. Sparta chose phy-
sical powers as her ideal. Athens
chose intellectual acumen as
hers. Sparta reared her boys to
be strong of muscle, paying little
heed to the needs of the brain.
Athens kept her boys in the
school room. She educated the
brain, also the muscle that it
might be healthy for the service
of the brain. There is no name
left to posterity by Sparta that is
fourth rate. Athens is replete
with famous men, men who live
today in the minds of our great-
est thinkers. Which city do you
admire?
Aspermont has answered that
question by her fearless vote last
Tuesday, August 4. Thomas
Jefferson did many things that
would please the most ambitious.
There were three that he con-
sidered his greatest labors:
Drew up and secured the passage
of an act establishing religious
freedom; Wrote the Declaration
of Independence; and, Found the
University of Virginia. Not-
withstanding he had served eight
years as president of the greatest
political nation the world has
ever seen, he held all . else as
naught compared to his founding
the University of Virginia. Be-
cause he recognized that the hu-
man being is, "from his cradle to
his grave, learning to do what he
sees others do," he was anxious
that his preceptors should be
clean, powerful, intellectual men.
He left as his greatest memorial
a great university. Let us emu-
late him. Let us leave the As-
permont school the very best
thought, time and support can
make it. I had rather see As-
permont school a success than to
see any success made along
other lines.
There are events occurring in
ever}* community which, if re-
pórted in a local paper, would
create a commotion little dream-
ed of. What to report often per-
plexes the editor. He is often
justly accused of cowardice and
favoritism, when all the time he
is looking toward the good repu-
tation of the town where his lot
is cast. The local editor from
necessity almost constantly finds
himself between two fires, and
whichever way he turns he is
sure to be unjustly treated. This
is one of the pleasures of the
newspaper business.
Beyond Expression
G. W. Farlowe, East Florence.
Ala., writes: "For nearly seven
years I was afflicted with a form
of skin disease which caused an
almost unbearable itching. I
could neither work, rest or sleep
in peace. Nothing gave me per-
manent relief until I tried Hunt's
Cure. One application relieved
me; one box cured me, and
though a year has passed, I have
stayed cured. I am grateful be-
yond expression."
Hunt's Cure is a guaranteed
remedy for all itching diseases of
the skin. Price 50c.
