Some people think they have
religion when they only have a
chronic case of colic
—11—
Houston had a $70,000. fire last
Saturdav which started by a ne-
gro porter stepoing on a match
that had been thrown or dropped
on the floor. The negro was fill-
ing a gasoline tank when the
match lighted. Moral: Be care-
ful where you step.
Why is Knox county weather
like a candidate? Because it
promises so much and does so
little.
There is a bill to be put before
the senate in France which pro-
vides for the encouragement of
large families and the dischare-
ment of single life. If this proves
to be successful over there, it
would be well for our City Coun-
cil to pass such an ordinance as
it might be the means of draw-
ing some of our people closer to-
gether. Our bachelors are nu-
merous and our young ladies-
well they are awfully discour-
aged looking.
What is the difference between
the candidate for cotten weigher
and a week? Of the week, we
work six days and rest one, and
of the candidate we are to rest
six and work one.
Stamford is boasting of paved
streets and is yet only ten years
old. This is a good record but
just think what Knox City will
be in fivejmore years. With all
her luxuries Stamford can'hardly
support two papers. Knox City
while she is just starting in life,
is doing this and we hope soon to
have a Daily.
It should be remembered that
Knox City has a band. It is a
recognized fact by progressive
citizens, that a good band is not
only the best advertisement but
that it is also one of the most
pleasure giving features any
town can have. The band boys
devote their time to the work
and this should bé their part.
The organization should be fi-
nanced by the business men of
the town. In less than an hour
che business men of Baird raised
money to employ an instructor
for six months for the band boys.
Such could be done in Knox City.
The poor editors—we are fre-
quently pitied, yet few deserve
such treatment. We take print-
ing for le3s money than Jwe can
buy the stock and no one is to
be blamed but themselves. We
stand for one thing today another
tomorrow, hoy can we expect
the confidence of the people while
in this changeable frame of
mind. Stand for something and
be somebody and we will be
recognized as such.
A. Ton, not 2000 lbs. but that
is a mans name, the owner and
propritor of the Truscot Sun,
was on the streets of Knox City
last Saturday. Mr. Ton is also
a real estate man and is doing
much for the Gieat Divide be-
tween the two Witchitas.
l PRESS ECHOES $
This issue of the Times was de-
layed in order that we might
report on the bond issue election
Thursday. The vote stood 64
to 2 in favor of issueing bonds
to the amount of $10,000 for
water works and $5000 for street
improvements. Every one felt
so confident of the result that
a very light vote was polled.
This means much for the fu-
ture of Munday and emphasizes
the fact that our town is start-
ing on a substantial, permanent
growth.—Munday Times.
Munday is now headed in the
right direction and we hope that
this will be the means of increas-
ing her population and that be-
fore long she will boast of as
many voters as Knox City,' but
when that time comes Knox City
will have more than she has to-
day. There were 131 votes cast
in our city election Saturday.
We are barbarians. Civiliza-
tion has put clothes on us and
smeared a very tl in venéer of
culture underneath the rag we
wears Savages eat broiled mis-
sionaries and we eat boiled cow.
Savage women wear rings in
their noses, our wonen wear
riníís in their ears. We plan
railroads, devise laws and politi-
cal schemes, and seek to save the
souls of the lost; but a dog fight
will break up any railroad meet-
ing, political speaking or pro-
tracted meeting in the United
States. If the two greatest ora-
tors on American soil, say Bryan
and Bailey, should engage in
joint debate, and should go into
training for months, the news-
papers would give the affair con-
spicious space and attention, but
no seats cculd be sold at $100
each and few at even $6 or $10
and there would be no intent and
eager throngs at bulletin boards
anywhere to receive the rounds
with cheers and groans. And
yet when a negro and a white
man out of the slums engage in
a beastly and brutal fight, the
wires of the country close to all
commercial messages and rush
the particulars of every punch
and bloody hammering of these
men to waiting millions, We
are still lavages. Not a bit of
doubtabout it. —Comanche Chief J
J. E. Kirksey came down from
Crowell Saturday to swell the
big vote in the city election.
Polk Smallin, from Emory is
here visiting his brother J. O.
