Watch and do not trust the
man, who says there is no virtue
in woman or honesty in man.
It is said there is a sucker born
every minute, that's a mistake,
there's one born every second,
and will bite at any kind of bate.

The crying need of this age is
honest men.
But what a beautiful city we
could have if we would iust join
hands and put our . shoulders to
the wheel and push like the devil
and Tom Walker.
Knock the world and it will
knock back at you.
If you have ability voung man,
millions are at your command.
Everything comes to those who
stay everlastingly with it and
wait.
When a merchant or a banker
wants a hand, boys, they don't
seek after them in the back ally
gang nor among the street corner
loafers—nobody but the devil
would have that bunch.
The world is looking for the
man who can turn up something
new.
Kick up a dust Mr. Business
Man and let the world know you
are here.
There is nothing in blood,
some of the sorries runts on earth
were sired by royal colts.
t Grin and the world will grin
ith yoth, frown and the world
will pitch it back at you.
There are many things that
this town needs. In the first
place we need a good water works
system, we need an electric light
plant, it needs concrete side
walks and graded Streets.
Gentlemen, are we going to
roll up our sleeves and make a
city of Aspermont, or are we go-
ing to be satisfied with a cross
roads town? A town is no larger
9
than its people.
We were talking to a party the
other day about having a get-to-
gether meeting, "Ah," he says,
"come down the men who own
the property here don't want the
town any larger, that is, if it
costs them anything."
A little boy was walking along
the street one day flipping up
two nickels which his father had
given him, one to spend for can-
dy and the other for Sunday sch-
ool and all at once Jonny dropped
one of his nickels through a
crack in the side walk, poor Jon-
ny stood and looked down in the
deep crack a while took a long
breath and said, there went the
Lord's nickel.
Some of Senator Bryan's
friends are trying to start a boom
for him for Lieutenant-Governor.
Why not make it \ governor; be-
cause it gives a man more pres-
tige to be mentioned for gover-
nor than merely lieutenant gov-
ernor, and that is about all it
amounts to in most cases any
way. The office of lieutenant
governor of Texas is usually con-
sidered a cooling board to lay out
defunct political corps on, and
that is one reason we never like
to encourage any friend to run
for that office.1' We mortally of
fended one of our newspaper
friends years ago because we said
as much.—Baird Star.
That's the truth Bro. Gilliand
when a politician star has about
set they begin to boost him for
lieutenant governor. That's the
last grand stand play of a politi-
cal corps. Senator Bryan has
always been a very popular man
in west, Texas and the editor of
the Star has always walked up to
the liqk log and took his salt on
election day like an obedient
layman—but from henceforth we
don't know. Senator Bryan was
a member of that dirty nine
down at the State Capitol who
skeedadled to the woods and
block all legislation, killed the
redistricting bill and brought
about the death of nearly every
bill passed by that howling mob.
They wouldn't cut John's district
up so he could get a splice of con-
gressional pie, so he broke out of
the "pen and took to the woods.
Now ain't that a nice caper for
a statesman, skunking around
out in the woods to kill a bill—
afraid of the majority, eh?

There is no reason in the world
why Aspermont should not be a
city of 2,500 people. Her trade
territory is sufficient to support
a town of this size. Put this in
your pipe and smoke it: A town
is never any larger than its citi-
zenship.
Are you going to win that Asp-
ermont Star piano if so 'hustle
subscriptions.
One thing that gives' Asper-
mont the blackeye commercially,
is bad roads. Worlds of cotton
goes to other towns on account
of the bad condition of our roads.
