Sulphur Springs News-Tele
gram: F >r many years Hop-
kins fouuty has led all Texas iu
the number i f Elberta peaches
shipped. The crop is the most
promising at this season of the
year for the last ten years, and
♦here are many new orcharts
coming in with a crop this year.
Two hundred Bnd fifty cars of
Elbertas are now in sight for
this county, as not a bud has
been damaged by the weuther
so tar.
State Press in Dallas News:
The weather has been very con
siderate of <>ur peaches' feeling?
this spring. It has done every-
thing it could to make them
happv, to keep them ill good
health, to contribute to the
pinky loveliness of their com
plexions. We are speaking, of
course, of i he tree peaches—
not the limby peaches, the
peaches with the long hose.
Hopkins county is an ideal
peach country—both kinds of
peaches are now meant—and
not. to raise them is to deprive
the world of products such as
make the w««rld worth while
Speaking of Elbertas exclusive-
ly, is there anything un.re de-
licious to the mouth of man?
Not only, does the Elbertu grati-
ly every artistic soul's craving
for perfection of form and color,
but beyond that, and better
than that, it responds to bis
dental incisions with such a
wealth of sweet mealiness as to
fill his voids with the vastest
content. The market for Elber
tas is insatiable. Demand for
them is inspired by the love of
luxury which lurks in all of us,
even the most ascetic. The car
niverous appetite yearns for
them, Jthe omniverous devours
them and the gramniverou9
hails them as objects de luxe.
Go ahead, then, did Hopkins,
and raise a thousand trainloads
ol Elhertas. Sell them to the
inhapitants of less halcyon re
gious, put the money in your
capacious pocket and feel rich
also feel noble, for having serv-
ed the public to the public's
profit and delight.

Boston Still County Seat.
Despite Sick Carried to the Polls,
Texarkann Loses.
Texarkana, Texas, March 24.
—After perhaps the warmest po
liticul contest in the history of
Howie County, Texarkana lost
to Boston in Tuesdays county
removal election by a little more
than eleven hundred votes. The
totals stood Texarkana 11,281,
Boston 6,2rt2. A two-thirds ma-
jority was necessary to move the
courthouse from Boston. '
Both sides made determined ef-
forts to get out every possible
vote. In Texarkana forty-eight
voters left their sick beds and
were carried in ambulances to
the polls.
The courthouse was won for
Texarkana in an election held
just forty years ago, but five
years later, in 1890, it was car-
ried to the geographical center of
the county on a majority vote,
where it has since remained, de
spite several attempts of Texar
kana to wiii it back. In the last
previous election ou the question
five years agci,' Ttoxyrkana lost
by a margin of about six hnrj*
dred short of the necessary two-
third".
In Tuesday's election the vote
in Texarkana was virtually
unanimous, hut other points,
particularly Hooks and Maud,
voted almost solid for Boston.—

OUA&fiSPEARE'S seven ages of mankind made no reference to the number
^ who were cut off In their prime by automobile?. If he bad, suggests
the Stewart-Warner Safety Council, it might have run something like thla
parcdy on his famous lines:
At first the Infant,
i Killed by a truck while In his nurse's onus,
And then the careless schoolboy with marbles,
Playing In the streets after his lessons
Are over. And then the lover,
Absent-minded, walking with a box of candy
Under his arm, to see his loved one, <
Is struck by a taxi and hurtled to the ground.
, Next comes the gay young blood
I Oat for his evening's entertainment, whom
Sixty miles an hour lands forty years too soon
Upon a slab in some unfriendly morgue.
And then the banker, full of worldly pride and honors.
Jay-walks across the street between two mighty deals of finanea
< And wakes to And Saint Peter quizzing him.
Next, the family man, with years upou him,
Confused and Jostled In the crowd,
! Mlss*eps, and dies amid thanksgiving
That his last premium was paid up. r
And lawt, hoary age, tottering and feeble.
Perhaps with crutch, or eye too dimmed with time,
a , ■ Au eaaj victim for some selfish motorist.
Sans care, sans thought, sans sklU, Bans everything—bnt speed.
The chart, above shows what proportion of all accidents happening to
age group are automobile accidents. The toll Is highest for the very youag
and vcrv old. This situation Is explained partly by the heedlessness of Uie
young *Rd the Infirmity of old age. Moreover, these two groups are leant
lp«ot*#rt la Industrial accidents which make* their automaton*?
