Tom Fleming, the live grocerv-
man, of Peacoolc was doing busi-
ness in the city Tuesday.
By all means Aspermont needs
another gin—and we want a boi-
ler with it, too—do yo'i say so?
Whooo up that new gin propo-
sition, if it keeps a raining we
will gin at least five thousand
bales of cotton.
Keep in mind your own busi-
ness, for if vou tend to \rour own
business you will not have time
to bother with the other fellow.
The busy body in a communi-
ty stirs up more strife than the
devil cares to have on his hand at

The most abomnible thing on
earth is the foul mouth tale bear-
er, God deliver us from such
varmints.

Did you ever see one of these
old tale mongers that pad from
one door to another, whose old
mouth is a slime hole?
The tongue of the slanderer
has drove more pure girls to the
vice of prostitution than any oth-
er one thing in*this world.
When the devil wants recruhe
down in perdition, he starts t
old slanderer's tongue to wab"
ging, and the imps come marc
inghome.
h-
per cent and for the Lord sakes
and our sake, we need relief.
But goodness gracious how the
wool, sugar, orion, beef, lumber
and iron men are howling for re-
lief. When you hit a man's poc-
ket book, in it you will find his
little god of lust. Stay with them
Woodrow, we think you are the
greatest man born of men. You
were germinated in the loins of
philosophy, matured in the
breast of statescraft and God
gave you the courage of a Dane
to back your judgment—stay
with them and give the poor man
chance.
Those poor little iron and cot-
ton mill men up there in New
England are crying like babies,
thev say that they are ruined,
and old Sprekles, the sugar king
is about to have a fit about this
low tariff. Yes the old devil has
made fifty or a hundred million
in the past twenty five years stole
from the consumers, and the
government is a party to it. \ es
the poor devils we are sorry for
them haying such a hard time
living in castles, riding in palace
cars and sail across the ocean in
steam palaces. And then they
take :heir daughters and their
dirty gold and go gnnning in
Europe for a brainless aristocra
ic peniless stag and barter their
daughters and gold for a title
that was born in whoredom, and
the pure strainof Anglo-Saxon
blood becomes comtaminated
with the syphilistic bkod of a de-
generate race. Yes and they
take this American gold that has
been wrung from the brow of
honest toil to bolster up the cas-
tle homes and furnish spending
money for a poverty stricken
aristocracv.
The devil sits in his den and
smiles while the slanderous ton-
gue makes medicine for the
flames.
The slanderous tongue is the
most damnable weapon of destuc
tion that the devil ever incorpor-
ated into his wiles of leading the
innocent to the pit of despair.
Nyle's fly paper is death to
the fly. He takes a sample taste,
turns down his wings, says a fly
prayer and bids adieu to dear
old world.
Star Drug Store.
Let's keep a boostin' for that
new gin. The indications are
that we will have a bumper crop
this year, and we will sure need
two gins—no one gin can please
everybody-
Let Aspermont have another
gin, then build a compress, and
then we will get the Abilene
Southern Railroad and then
watch Aspermont make a town
of five thousand people.
Mrs. Minnie Lee Mullins is
now editor of the Lorain News
Mrs, Mullin is a splendid writer
and we will watch the columns of
the News from now for the flash
light from her pen.
I will tell you the democratic
war horses up there at Washing
City have sure sat down on the
tariff barons. The lower house
of congress in a little ever sixty
days after Woodrow Wilson was
inaugurated have knocked the
high tariff into a cock hat, and
now they have passed it up to the
senate, and it looks like it was a
foregone conclusion that the sen
ate will railroad it thru with
rush. We say let the good work
go on, give us free wool, free
sugar, free beef, and especially
give us free paper. Just as soon
as the senate passes this bill we
are going to buy us a sure enuf
wooí suit of clothes, as we have
not had one in fifteen or sixteen
years we are getting tired of
wearing cottonade. Since we
have been engaged in the news-
paper business some twelve or
!-tteen years ago, print paper has

Farmer's Union Establishes
Selling Agency.
The executive committee of
the Farmers' Educational and
Co-operative Union of Texas at
their recent session in this city
announced that the Farmers'
Union has arranged for the es-
tablishment of a central selling
agency at Houston, with Brother
E. F. Shropshire in charge. It is
announced that the «Farmers'
Union has.also arranged for all
the money at 6 per cent per an-
num needed to finance the agen-
cy and make it effective in every
wav.
The members of the State or-
ganization are nre*ed to get in
touch with this agency and give
it their patronage and support,
a«d in a communication to h e
members the following state-
ment is made:
4 The problem of marketing*
has been the most difficult one to
solve, partly because o f the sys.
tem that has grown up as a result
of inattention on the part of the
farmers and partly because of
the fact that it is harder to get
farmers, who have heretofore
beet} contented to produce and
let others sell and distribute, to
realize the importance of coope-
rative marketing."
"A proper marketing system
is as essential to profitable farm-
as is production. Realizing the
importance of this, we have ar-
ranged for the establishment of
the central selling agency at
Houston."
A circular of instructioos to
the memdership explaining the
details of the plan is being sent
out to the members.
