Friday, August 0, 1909.
Thomas W. Lawson is'as
quiet here lately as Oyster Bay.
That was a cracker jack cam-
paign conducted by the Dallas
County Improvement League. '
Is the Conference for Educa-
tion in Texas true to its name,
or is it a political machine? If
the latter, let' smash it.
Eighteen candidates for gov-
ernor already is going seme.
But a lot of them will drop out
before the real start is made.
With characteristic enter-
prise, the Dallas News will erect
on the State Fair grounds at
Dallas a replica of the historic
Alamo building.
Dallas county is progressive.
A big majority of its citizens vot-
ed Tuesday fur $875,000 for
roads, bridges and a viaduct
across the Trinity river.
Cone Johnson, Judge Poin-
dexter, Gus Shaw, Tom Wells,
and H. Bascom Thomas are all
for state-wide prohibition and
O. B. Colqitt is dead against it.
Now let's hear from the others.
Ben Chilton was elected as
special judge of the County
Court at law in Dallas during the
vacation of Judge Holland. He
is the worthy son of one of the
trreatest men of Texas—ex-Sen-
ator Horace Chilton.
The Dallas Times Herald
wants the agitators and poli-
ticians to giye us a rest. Then
who would furnish the hot air
for the picnicsy Let 'em talk as
long as they want to and can get
some one to listen to them.
Friends of Hon. Gus Shaw of
Bowie county, the "largest
planter in Texas," are booming
him as the farmer candidate for
governor. Shucks! The only
real horny-handed farmer in the
race is Hon. Tom Wells of Gray-
son.
When Francis J. Henev, who
was employed to prosecute
grafters on the Pacific slope,
gets through with the cases on
hand, it might be a good idea to
hire some lawyer to make him
dig up the $23,000 which he has
received from the government,
for which no service was render-
ed.
While crops in this section
?jave been injured for lack of rain
the people ought to be thankful
lhat the situation is no worse
than it is. There is lots of dif-
ference between a short crop
and a complete failure. The
Venus Times, published in a rich
section of Johnson county, says:
There has been no change in
conditions around Venus. No
rain has yet fallen, and hundreds
f people have left the town and
roue try. It is now entirely too
' te for anything, and those left
ive turning their attention
towards securing a living for an-
♦4toer year. All thought of a
rrop this year has ueen aban-
doned. If is the first total fail-
lie ever known in Johnson coun
t"y «rrwi hundreds of people have
came for more than 100 miles to
see- fcwr themselves. The situ-
ation cannot be whitewashed, its
beyond that.
m GOIHNl KEEPING
Local Arrangements Are Placed
In Care Of
HEN FULLY EXPERIENCED
Some of Them Saw Service In tha
Spanish-American War, While Oth-
ers Are Members of the Militia cf
the State of Texas.
Who are those who, on behalf of
the city of Dallas, are making local ar-
rangements for the United States
Army tournament to be held Aug. 22-
29, and what are the military organiza-
tions that will participate in the ma-
neuvers?
Local arrangements are being made
by a committee known as the Tourna-
ment Committee of the Dallas Cham-
ber of Commerce. That committee
comprises sixteen prominent citizen?
of Dallas, and practically all of them
are military men, who have seen ser-
vice in the Spanish-American War or
who are members of the state militia
or who, as In the case of Captain A. A.
Waldron, are now in the United States
Army. These committeemen are
working In conjunction with Secre-
tary John R. Babcock of the Dallas
Chamber of Commerce. The tourna-
ment Is under the auspices of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The personnel of the arrangements
committee is as follows.
J. E. Farnsworth, chairman; Geo. H.
Green, W. H. Atwell, George A. Car-
den, General Thomas Scurry, General
A. P. Wozencraft, Major E. H. Roach,
Major L. S. Flateau, Jr., Captain w. H.
Flippen, Captain Sloan Simpson, Cap-
tain George Robertson, Lieutenant
Joseph Rankin, Major A. C. Wilsori,
Captain W. H. Campbell, Captain W.
H. Kinnard, Captain A. A. Wald«to.
The Telephone Girl.
The telephone girl stir sits in
her chair and listens to voices
from everywhere; she hears all
the gossip, she hears all the news,
she knows who is happy and who
has the blues: she knows all our
sorrows, she knows all our joys;
she knows every girl who is
chasing the boys; she knows all
our trouble, she knows all our
strife, she knows every man who
talks mean to his wife; she knows
every time we are out with "the
boys," she hears the excuses
each fellow employs; she knows
every woman who has a dark
past, she knows every man who
is inclined to tie "fast;" in fact
there is a secret beneath each
saucy curl of that quiet demure
looking teleph* ne girl. If the
telephone girl told all she knows
it would turn half our friends
into bitterest foes; she could sow
a small wind that would soon be
a gale, engulf us in trouble and
land us in jail; she could Jet go a
story (which gaining in force)
would cause half of our wives to
sue for divorce; she could get all
churches mixed up in a fight and
turn all our days into sorrowing
nights, in fact she could keep
the whole town in a stew if she
would tell a tenth Dart of the
things she knew. Oh, brother
doesn't it make your head whirl,
when you think of what you owe
the telephone girl.—Exchange.

"My son was cured of a very
bad case of epilepsy with Dr.
Miles' Nervine."
MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, O.
"My little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
is now entirely well after taking
Dr. Miles' Nervine only four
months."
MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
ous diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
Dr. Miles' Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem-
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.
The Tyler Commercial College
of Tyler, Texas, has now the larg-
est summer attendance in its
history, and from present indica-
tions, its fall attendance will far
surpass that of any previous
year. The indications are so
strong, that we are adding to our
already two large buildings, 3,400
square feet of floor space, to ac-
commodate the great crowd of
new students that will soon be
coming in. Some ask why we
have more students in daily at-
tendance than any other four
schools in the state combined.
The answer is simple; in the first
place, we have the exclusive con-
trol of the famous Byrne Sim-
plified Shorthand and Practical
Bookkeeping, and these systems
alone entitle us to a patronage
far beyound that of any other
commercial school. With these
systems we can turn oui a bet-
ter kookkeeping or stenographer
in half the time and at half the
cost required by other schools
teaching other systems. This is
a great saving of time and ex-
pense to any student. In our
Telegraphy department, we have
the Cotton Belt Train Wire, all
station blanks and record books,
all Western Union Supplies,s ome
thing not found in any other
school of telegraphy. In the. sec-
ond place, this institution is man-
aged by successful business men;
we own our building, have them
equipped with over $19,000.00
worth.of furniture and supplies.
Sky Signs.
Whether clear or cloudy, a rosy
sunset presages fine weather. A sick-
ly-looking, greenish hue, wind and
rain. A dark or Indian red, rain. A
red sky in the morning, bad weather
or much rain. A gray sky in tLo
morning, fine weather. A high dawn,
wiiid; a low dawn, fair weather. Re-
markable clearness of atmosphere
near the horizon, distant objects, such
as hills, unusually visible or raised
by refraction, and what is called a
good "hearing day," may be men-
tioned among signs of wet, if not
wind.
Monday, but failed on account of
the rain.
Little Dove.
Not Particularly Lucky.
The man who doesn't care
enough for his wife to think it
necessary to have an excuse
when he stays out late at night
may be envied by his friends,
but he is really to be pitied.
