The amendment to Sec. 24. Art. 3,
of the state constitution voted on
last Tuesday was lost by an over-
whelming majority throughout the
state.
I am not very large, but can crow
■ long and load as anybody.
I am not large but still I mashed
the wind and water out of the 25th
legislature.
With this issue the News en-
ters upon the tenth year of its ex-
istance. It has been here for nine
years, and daring that time has had
many hardships and adversities,
bnt thanks to the good people of
this county and to the L>rd, it is
now moving smoothly along and
only hopes that ths next nine years
will not bring upon it as many ad-
versities and hardships as it has
passed through the past nine.
Wishing you many thanksgivings
and a merry time, the News en-
ters upon its tenth year with bright
prospects and a glorious future.
It is better to be a still fool
than a big mouthed fool, who is
always sticking his bill where it
has no business and where the
bill and the tail of the sticker are
liable to get mashed.
It is now in order for those legisla-
tors who have been elected and who
wanted the constitution changed, to
fail to aualify and let some man have
it who thinks the present pay enough
—sod there seems to be quite a num-
ber in Texas who think the present
pay sufficient. Who will be first?
Don't all speak at once.
The resiilt of the election last
Tuesday simply indicates Jthat the
people of this county do fcot Wish
to raise the salary of a set of "in
competent" legislators. And the
people are right—"the voice of
the people is the voice of God"
you know, representatives to the
"^Mitrary notwithstanding. See?
Enough steel rails to put down
a hundred miles of track has been
unleaded at Seymour, which
looks like the Wichita Yalley
railroad was going to be extended
west.—Paducah Headlight.
Good! The News is glad yon
informed it along this line.

Another Amendment of the Consti-
tution.
At a meeting of the citizens of
Baylor county, held on the 4th day
of November, we were appointed a
committee to prepare an address to
the people living in that fftffcbn of
the state which is infested with
prairie dogs, and try to secure their
cooperation in an effort to have the
next legislature submit a constitu-
tional amendment authorizing taxa-
, tion in that part, of the state for the
purpose of exterminating the prairie
dogs. It is impossible to secure an
appropriation by the legislature out
of the general revenues of the state
for this purpose. This makes loeal
taxation in somet fonn a necessity, if
these pests ace to^be exterminated.
Individual i n e, as it
necessarily must-, tfpon small areas,
can notdoit. But there is so power
in the counties or anywhere else to
levy this local tax, far Article 8. Sec-
tion 9, of the state constitution ex-
pressly forbids the i§vy of any tax
except as therein or otherwise in the
constitution provided^. and the con-
stitution nowhere v grants authority
for the levy of a tax for this particu-
far purpose. Hence, the necessity of
is constitutional amendment, so that
the legislature will have power to
peas a.law upon the subject.
' To those familiar with the devasta-
tions of the prairie dogs, it is unnec-
essary to present any argument in
favor of their extermination. We be-
lieve it will be conceded that they
destroy at least one-half the grass
,besides their great damage to crops.
Their - destruction, therefore, is a
Which every person living
in tlie prairie dog infested portion of
the state is vitally interested. It
means much for the future prosperity
of this section. We, therefore, urge
"upon the people in these counties to
hold public meetings and elect local
committees Whose business it shall
be to mutually co-eperate in proper*

power bv some sort of taxation to rid
the country of these destrnctive pests
We also ask the citizens everywhere
to help individually in tbis matter by
writing to any of the members of the
legislature from any part, of the state
with whom they may be personally
acquainted, giving the facts ss they
exist and impressing them with the
necessity of legislative action in this
matter. These personal fetters will
be found to be the strongest influ-
ence that can be brought to bear
upon the legislature.
\ We alsp invito, as, many as can do
80 to meet at'the court house.in Sey-
mour on Monday," the 21st day of
November, at 2 "o'clock, p. m., to con-
sider just what the change in the
constitution should be aud the best
means of securing its submission to
the people and final adoption.

Reefton, New Zealand, Nov. 23,1897,
1 am very pleased to state that since
1 took the agency of Chamberlain's
medicines the sale has been very large
more especially of the cough remedy.
In (We years I have sold more of this
particular remedy than of all other
makes for the previous five,years. As
to its efficacy, 1 have been informed
by scores of persons of the good re-
sults they have received from it, and
kuow its value from the use of it in
my own household, lb is so pleasant
to take that we have to place the bot-
tle beyond the leach of the children.

called to the change in the adver-

Robbed the Grave •
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
"I was iu a most dreadful condition.
My akin was almost yellow, eyes sun-
ken, tongue coated, pain continually
iu back and sides, no appetite—grad-
ually growing weaker- day ..by day.
Three physicians had given me ups7
Fortunately, a friend advised trying
'Electric Bitters;' and to my great
joy and surprise, the first bottle made
a decided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am now
a well man. I know they saved my
life, and robbed the grave Of another
victim," No oue should fail to try
them. Only £0 cents per bottle ' at
H. B. Lewis' drug store.
Chas. McFarland was here Wed-
nesday and left Thursday for Dundee
from which place he will ship 300
steers to his feed pens at Aledo.
So little money buys such good
shoes at D. I. Branhain's. 1(3.
Thos. G. Easley's business is in-
creasing so rapidly that he has been
eotnpelled to get the assistance of T.
W. Cryer on Saturdays. So hereafter
Mr. Cryer will be in the barbershop
every Saturday.
Mrs. Ida R. Morris and son Joe are
here from Washington, D. C. looking
after their large land interests.
This is the first time Mrs. Morris has
been here in about 8 years and her
many friends are pleased to see her.

coutrht cold, which settled on her

no medicine could cure her. Her

discovery for consumption; she
bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself benefitted from first
dose. She coutinued its use
and after taking six bottles,
found herself sound and *elj;
now does her own housework, and ia
ss well as she ever was.—Free Mai
