new and valuable fruits. For
instance, our Leona peach will
far surpass Elberta anywhere
and should be planted in place
of Elberta from Central Texas
north.
Smith Peach is the surest
beaier in the world. It should
be planted from Centra
Texas South.
Our Haupt Berry paid one

Some Family Mix-Up
The deputy of a certain fra-
ternal insurance society re-
ently obtained the applica <
tion of W. M. Johnson anp
gladly escorted that seusibla
gentleman before the examin-
ing physician. In the process
>f filling out the papers, Mr.
Johnson was asked to name
his uearest relative in order
that they might be designated
is beneficiaries, and he ex-
plained as follows:
"I met a widow and marri-
ed her. She had a step-daugh-
ter and my father, a widower,
visited and married the step-
laughter. My wife became
the mother-in-law of her fath-
er in-law and my step-daugh-
ter my step-mother. My
t'alher is my step son. After
a while my step mother, the
step daughter of my wife, had
a son. The boy is my brother,
being my father's sou, but he
is also a son of my wife's
step daughter and so her
grand son. Therefore, I ma
my brother's grandfather.
"Then my wife had a
daughter. My mother in law
is her step sister, and also
Iter grand mother, because
she is her step son's child.
VI y father is the brother ol
my daughter, who is also the
daughter of my grandmother.
I am my mother's brother in
law, my wife is my owu child's
aunt, my daughter is my
father's neice, and I am my
<>wu grandfather.
When Mr. Johnson had
finished the above simple and
easily understood statement
of his family relations, the
doctor had collapsed and the
deputy had taken to the
woods. The applicant is still
waiting for some one to come
a ong and designate his ben-
eficiary so he can go ahead
and join.—Ex.
To The Ladies
There will be a Matinee at
tlie Majestic Theatre Satur-
day afternoon at 2:30. You are
cordially invited to come and
bring your children, there
w ll be a good program for
5c and 10c.
Two criminals at Dallas en
t red pleas of guilty on a
charge of robbery with the
use of firearms, and both were
given a sentence of ninety
nine years. If we had any
assurance that these scound-
rels would be forced to spend
the balance of their days in
prison this sentence would be
alright but we must remem
ber that after the expiration
of a few vears some kind
hearted governor will in all
probability turn them loose
again no a long-suffering
public. That's one good
thing about hanging—there
isn't a govenor ou earth that
can revive a criminal after he
one; has his neck broken.
It's a mighty fine remedy in
certain cases.—Cherokee Ban-
ner.
A man in a neighboring
town says an exchange, who
took a city paper iu prefer-
ence to a country paper
to get more paper for
the money, was attracted by
the advertisment of a fire es-
cape which would be forward-
ed on receipt of $2. He sent
the cash and in a few days
received a copy of the New
Testament.—Ex.
