The Sticker invites the public to keep it

triends visiting you or departing, drop us a
Hue that we may make note of it. But be sure
to sign your name to it as an evidence of its
genuineness.
THURSDAY, JAN. 18, 1910.
No dead ads in the Sticker to
take up the space for news mat-
ter due our readers.
Everybody has shaken off the
holiday feeling and down to good
old hard work again. But isn't
it hard to have to work after so
many holidays?
The Galveston News has our
thanks for the "Texas Almanac
and State Industrial Guide for
1910." Every editor should
liave one and it would be quite a
valuable addition to any library.
The Sticker force intended to
take a week off Xmas week but
it seemed everybody wanted a
job out that week and we were
kept pretty busy the whole time,
only observing Christmas and
New Year's days.
We have received numerous
favorable comments, voluntarily,
on the appearance of our last is-
stie. We are proud of it ourselves
and the favorable expressions
make us feel that our efforts to
give our readers a good paper is
appreciated.
Don't make a mistake and put
in too great an acreage of cotton
this year just because the price
was high last year. Keep down
your acreage and devote more
time to what you do plant and to
other crops, Many other crops
are better money makers and
require not half the labor. Di-
versification is the only solution.
One of the many needs of our
city is a local hospital. Why
send cases to the larger cities
when they could be attended to at
a great deal less expense in our
own city in our own hospital (if
we had one) by our own doctors?
Very few case that are sent to
the larger cities, because we
haven't the facilities to take the
proper care of a patient, are be-
yond the skill of our local physi-
cians. JLet's get together on
matters pertaining to the welfare
of our city and you will be as'ton-
ished at the progress we can
make.
Our friend, Hon. Eugene T. j
Long, of Hallettsville, supervisor j
of census, writes us that there is
a scarcity of applicants from
precincts 7 and 8 and he would
like to have a few competent men
to make application for enumera-
tors from these two precints.
The Flatonia Argus came toj
our desk last week in a smaller!
size than usual, but full to the brim I
with spicy news items. Brother
Beckham said he had cut the size
on account of the lack of advertis-
ing. Wake up, merchants and
business men and help your home
paper. It will never miss qn op-
portunity to say a good word
about you'and your town.
The/policy of the Sticker is
not now nor never has been con-
trolled or dictated to by any
clique or clan. Good advice is
always acceptable from our
friends but nothing will be per-
mitted in its columns that will
not be of benefit to some one or
som^ public enterprise. The
Sticker will always be found in
the front ranks pulling for Schu-
lenburg and Fayette county first
and last. Politically speaking,
we are going ^o quit giving office
seekers free advertising. Any
mention they may want will go
under the head of "advertise-
ments" at so much per. We
couldn't please all our readers no
matter which candidate we as-
sisted, so we quit. Our adver-
tising space is for sale and our
readers can't kick just so long as
we give them a full quoto of news.

pendicitis, the last operation be-

heavens.

sit in sorrow where his footsteps
shall never again find echo, We
extend our heartfelt sympathy,
joined by the entire community.

mont, Henry of Lockhart and

signed to their last resting place

HALLEY'S COMET.
, Almost every paper contains an !
article about Halley's cornet. On !
Jan. 1st the comet was outside of ;
the orbit of the planet, Mars. It is j
swiftly coming nearer the earth
and on Mp,rch 24th it will be with-
in the orbit between the sun and
the earth and on May 18th it will
pass between the sun and the earth,
rushing swiftly past each other,
ar>d the earth will probably sweep
through the tail of the comet.
They will only be 12,000,000 miles
apart, We will not be able to
see it here when it occurs as it will
be after sunset.
Mr. Joe Lopris of Mercedes
writes that the American
Rio Grande Land and Irrega-
tion Company which he is working
for is building their second pump-
ing station on the Rio Grande.
The plant will be equipped with
2-36 inch pjimps, a tandem com-
pound high speed corless engine
and will cost $50,000. He said
he and the engineer, Mr. C. R.
Watts, installing the plant, enjoy
reading the Sticker on the banks
of the Rio Grande as both have I
mutual ac^uainances in Schulen-
burg.
Good morning, sir, Mr. Editor,
how, are all the folks today? I
owe you for next year's paper,
and I thought I'd come in and
pay. And Jones is goin' to take
it, and this is his money here. I
shut down lendin' it to him and
then coaxed him to try it a year.
And here is a few little items that
happened last week out our way, I
thought they'd look good in the
paper and so I just jotted' them
down. And here is a basket of
apples my wife picked expressly for
you; and here is a pumpkin from
Jenie—she thought she must send
something, too. You're gittin' out
a mighty good paper, as all of our
family agree; just keep your old
goose quill a-flappin' and give bad
men a good one for me. And now
you are chock full of buisness and, I
won't be takin' your time; I've
things of my own to tend to—good
day. sir, I believe I will climb.—

IT PAYS TO RAISE HOGS
Chicago, Jan. 6.—The $9-hog
