A. L. Dyer is getting 100 acres
of land ready for rice next year.
S, J. Hill, of Dunbar, was a
business caller at Riverside Park
last Friday.
D. N. Day has sufficiently re-
covered from his recent illness to
be around again.
Gene Hawes has rented his
small farm to a man and family
from Oklahoma and will go up to
his former home in Kanas for a
visit.
The great ballot battle is on
today, and by Thursday night
we suppose Texas will know
whether George or Earl wears
the crown.
A strong smell of sulphur per-
meated the air in this vicinity a
night of two ago, and we began
lo think hades had broken thro
the crust, but upon investigation
we found it was several team
drivers trying to get across the
bridge at the river. Their cuss
words caused the fumes of sul-
phur and the lurid flames in the
air.
Apples injjarts of Missouri and
Arkansas goes begging at 25 to
50 cents per bushel, and a day or
two ago we paid 10 cents for four
little dinky ones, that made just
about six "bites, and still the howl
goes up to the farmers to ' 'raise
more suff and we will see to the
markets." This kind of busi-
ness will continue too, just so
long as the farmer and laboring
people permit so many 2x4 gim-
let hole politicians to be sent to
the legislatures and Congress.

A First National Attraction

THE LIFE BEAUTIFUL.
There's beauty in the sunset's glow,
In clouds of gold, in banks of snow—
And in the meadow's scented sheen;
To cleanse the soul of all things mean
And give us days of pure delight!
If we but strive to see aright.
We make or mar the perfect day,
When we permit our thoughts to stray-
Trough discontment's channel where
Abides no thing to make life fair;
Hence we ourselves are all to blame
If happiness means but a name.
The truth of this must come to all
Who closely listen for love's call—
And ask each day the power to guide
The way of sweet contentment's tide-
Combining work, and love, and play,
Into a peaceful, happy day.
Small troubles we should cast aside!
Then larger ones may nut abide-
Where will and patience gain control,
Demanding comfort for the soul.
This power we have, to guide our bark
Through channels bright—or tunnels dark.
There's beauty in the dashing spray,
The breakers roar—'neath skies of gray—
And everywhere we glance around
May gleam some goodly sight our sound
To give us all God meant to give!
And teach us truly how to live.
DEUTSCHBURG
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Best were

Messrs. M. Sexton and H. W.
Best are remodeling and building

Miss Irby, County Superintend-

MAKES IT UNANIMOUS.
What do you think of Texas
politics anyway? So do we.
EASY MARKS.
Many doubtful propositions re-
quire the employment of high
salaried spellbinders to write
glowing pages of hypnotic ad's
for weakminded suckers, and
most of us hasten to remit cheer-
fully for some seemingly attrac-
tive easy moneymaking at home
plan—and generally find the
proposition adapted to our needs
Just like a Texas rabbit needs
an over-coat.
A MERE CMUTION.
In case your poetic friend whom
you really love and admire in
spots anyway should perchance
write something really good once
in awhile it would be running a,
great risk to mention your ap-
proval either to his or her face—
or even behind his or her back
in any complimentary way for
the very reason that poets and
paragraphers are invariably af-
flicted with swelled head, due to
thru
vast wealth accumulated
previous efforts.
OLD TELEGRAPHER'S LAMENT.
We used to write that classic hand
The boys called—"copper-plate!"
And on the hottest wires we'd land,
For we were swift and up-to-date.
But now alas, ah me, ho hum,
We use a mill—and sadly need it!
Because our writing is so bum,
When cold—the devil couldn't read it,

Last Friday the Ladies Aid of
the Lutheran church met at the
home of Mrs. Lute Bruse, the oc-
casion being her birthday, when
she received a lovely ring and a
delicious birthday cake. After
the reading of a part of the
Scripture the Lord's prayer was
repeated. The remainder of the
afternoon was spent in tacking a
quilt for the orphans' home.
The hostess served a delightful
lunch and the departing guests
wished her many returns of the
day.
