TRIBLED TROUBLES.
Editor Spotts of the Bonham
Favorite is bewailing the fact
that he's getting fatter every
day. Says the more he works
the fatter he gets, and is some
worried over a bulletin some
one sent him in which obesity
is held up to view as a menace
to longevietv. We sympathize
with him in his pathetic wail
that no one loves a fat man.
We'd rather be baldheaded
than fat, but we'd rather be fat
than bowlegged, so cheer up.
Brother Spotts.—Mineral Wells
Index:
But if Spotts gets much fat-
ter he will become bowlegged
also. For a man of his height
to tote 220 pounds is to threat-
en the integrity of his legs.
Worse still, baldheadedness
may supervene as a consequ-
ence of bowlegs and obesity.
Sunshine is the best hair tonic,
and the closer a bowlegged
person is to the ground the
farther he is from the sun,
hence he loses a definite portion
of solar radiation. These ob-
servations induce a sorrowful
train of reflection, which in
this case runs toward Spotts.
He is too nice a man to be
threatened with bowlegs and a
bald head in addition to the Fal-
staffian torso he has already ac-
quired. The prospect is so dire
his friends may be excused for
proffering advice to him,

Our good friend, Lee Kirgan,
editor of the Fairfield Recorder,
is not only a first class news-
paper man, but he is an admirer
of fine hogs and has some of
the best in the country. He has
recently added to his stock a
fine male, mention of which is
made in another column, and
Lee will be glad to show yoti

field. Next time we go over
there we are going to inspect
Lee's jail and his pig pen. We
have already taken a peep at
his up to date printing* plant
and want to see his other pos-
sessions, and rejoice with him
in his well merited prosperity.

There is an opportunity lor
young men who learn the cot-
ton business. In the South,
there is raised from twelve to
fourteen million bales of cotton
annually. Every bale has to be
classed from one to four times,

is necessarily limited. The!
facts are we lose thousands of
dollars each year for lack of
trained men. Again, there are
being erected in this country
thousands of warehouses, and
every warehouse requires from
two to three men to grade cot-
ton. The young man trained
scientifically is certainly more-
desirable than the one who has
learned by gjiess.
