The farmers are very jubi-

State law and any person who
sees them kill a bird can have
them arrested and fined for
every offense.—Alto Herald.
They may be aware of it
all right, but they are quite
confident that the officers are
not going to enforce any such
law. And it is a shame they
do not. The song birds are
being exterminated and only
the measly English sparro#
is being left.—Ft. Worth Sun'

Livingston ships the first
tomatoes from East Texas.
Bro. Adams, what is Trinity
doing? We have not heard
from you since we asked you
how much money your Cham-
ber of Commerce had raised
for boosting Triuity,—Living*
stou Enterprise.
The only thing our Com-
mercial Club has done recent-
ly, that we know of, is to send
out of town for its letterheads
Bro. West, its against our
principles to boost for that
kind of au outfit.—Trinity
Tribune.
From the way the Tribune
has boosted Trinity, the coun-
try and the columns donated
to the commercial club, we
thought your town was made
up of progressive meu. Men
who were interested iu Triuity
But a Commerial Club that
will send away for stationery
and let its editor contribute
free advertising each week
to them and to the town is
composed of sorry material
and such au organization com-
posed of meu who have no
more interest in their town
will never.be of any benefit to
a town. The Tribune is
worth more to Trinity than a
dozen such clubs and were
they to pay the Tribune for
what it has done for Trinity
they would donate the town
including all its rich farming
country. Trinity you arc a
sorry bunch. Wake up, sup-
port your paper. Don't be so
little. You have a good town
and your paper has made it
what it is.
To The Voters of Cherokee Cjunty
I will be a candidate in the
July primary for the nomina-
tion by the Democratic Party
for a second term as Chief
Justice of the Court of Civil
Appeals for this district. If
in your opinion the services
Alto was never in a more
prosperous condition than to-
d iy. Many car loads of toma*
toes have been shipped in the
past two weeks, bringing
good prices, Thousands o f
dollars have been p u t into
circulation by tomatoes alone,
potatoes have been shipped,
bringing good prices, vegeta-
bles and fruits of all kinds arc
plentiful. Good rains which
mean that cotton aud corn is
fine. Just show us a country
that is better than this!
In referring to the files of
twenty years ago, the Jack-
sonville Banner says: ''The
Cotton Belt had been carrying
passengers on the local train,
and was giving exactly the
same service as it is giving
today.That is a long time
for a road to be in operation,
never to get away from the
post from where they started.
Figuring one way, inside the
next twenty years the right*
of-way may be grown up in
weeds, that is, if "going back-
wards," is the Jgame.—Luf-
kiu News.
Lena Gun.
The first question a man
asks when he sees a girl flirt*
ing is whether she is a re*
spectable girl or not. You
see how it raises a doubt at
once. This being the case,
surely no modest girl can af-
ford the slightest degree of
this pastime. When the down rendered by me in that posi*

ile ihinks the Pros a set of iools
When they eliminate
Three men or more by their own
rules,
To just one candidate.
See how he frets, see how he fumes
And swears how it shall not be:
He reads'ttf all the Pros their doom
He does, this bold Anti.
With angry tone and fearful frown
He spurns them from his sight,
Then takes a chair aud sits him
down
To rest him from his fright.
Out of the party they must go,
The old Democracy;
He'll keep nocomp'ny with a Pro,
So says this bold Anti.
A nd yet he weeps and mourns and
wails
That things are thus and so,
For fear that in the end he fails
And must endure a Pro.
Then let him rave and fret and
fume,
For that's his way, you see,
Bimeby he'll quit and give us room
He will, this bold Anti.
