What about that bill of goods
you ordered from Sears Roebuck
or from Sanger Bros, or from
any other mail order house? Do
you think that was a very patri-
otic or a very public spirited
thing to do? Wouldn't it be bet-
ter for yourself, your neighbor,
and your neighbor's neighbor to
keep that money at home? Isn't
it better for all concerned to
build up home industry than
to build up foreign industry?
And isn't this doubly true dur-
ing the dry weather?
Say a good word for your
town, the town in which you
live, and the town in which you
should take the greatest pride.
Governor Campbell seems to
be determined to give Texas a
period of intense legislative ac-
tivity before the period of rest is
jnauguratedlby Colquitt.
While there is nothing doing
would be a good time for some
of the surplus capital in Albany
to be invested in a good water
system, electric light plant, ice
factory and steam laundry.
What about the dormitory for
the College? Have you been
through it? It looks like there
is something doing in Albany.
It is already attracting the at-
tention of people outside the
county.
One of the best things that
has ever been done for Albany
was the building of the dormi-
tory out of home bought material
and by home labor as nearly as
possible. The promoters of this
institution have continually
promised that the College would
be a great benefit to the town in
a business way. It has made a
good start in the way mentioned
above. Home merchants have
already been benefitted some by
the business given them in part
payment of the hard cash that
they invested in the building.
They should continue to be per-
mitted to furnish as much of the
supplies for the institution as
they can. It is to the interest of
the institution; it is to the inter-
est of the town; it is necessary
to the building of a greater
Albany.
It is so dry thatf every body is
expecting the bottom to fall out.
But this has been expected for
more than a year and it hasn't
fallen yet Keep up courage,
all is not lost The rain may come
yet and the bounteous harvest.

A gentleman remarked to the
editor of the News a few days
ago that if he were a newspaper
pnftn he would tell the people
that the electionjis over, that the
nominees have been declared,
and that the democratic party
should uphold the hands of these
nominees. This is just/vhat the
News has done already and just
what many of the papers of
Texas have done. The nominees
should be given time in which to
prove themselves and Texas
should be given a period of politi-
cal and legislative rest in which
she might have time to develop
her great natural resources.
and physical development of
children; not only so but the
state should take proper steps
for the proper development of
human body as a necessary part
of the education of the young.
Medical associations everywhere
are taking the initiative for the
preservation of the health of the
people. This benefaction is
helpful also, along material spirit-
ual growth everywhere.
Intelligence is the guiding
force in all great movements, in
the church »or state. In Cisco
the plan of work in the public
school will be for the develop-
ment of character through the
correct process of thought. This
leads to right living in body and
mind. J. N. Johnston,
Cisco City Superintendent.
WHAT IS AN EDUCATION?
Some believe that an education
is power to think only. Some,
that an education gives one
power to do only. Both opin-
ions are wrong.
Education gives power to do
and think correctly.
The mind has three principal
parts, and all these parts must
be trained. The intellect is the
power of the mind by which we
know. The sensibility is the
power by which we feel. The
will is the power by which we
choose and execute.
The basis of all our action or
conduct is intelligence. If one
knows what is right, and feels
the right and chooses the right
there will be no wrong conduct.
Hence all training should de-
velop right thinking, and right
thinking gives right feeling, and
with right choosing of acts one
forms right habits, and the sum
total of habits gives character,
and character is what we really
are.
Therefore right teaching de-
velops intellect feeling and will
power.
Many know much but have no
feeling. These are intellectual
perverts—have no sympathy for
their fellowman. They are
dangerous to the church and to
society. The person who has
great emotion—feeling with no
intellect to guide him is a fanatic
—he may be a stubborn egotist.
A complete education, there-
fore includes the full training <?f
the intellect, feeling and will.
These are all of mind, not matter.
There is another side to one's
education, physical training.
The human body is the instru-
ment of the mind. One's health
is necessary to great success.
The invalid cannot render effect-
ive service in any sphere in life,
persons whose bodies are not
sound will render less service to
themselves and society than were
their bodies healthful.
Therefore teachers anchparents
should look well to the health
We heard of a man the other
day who when sued for a divorce
pleaded temporary insanity and
proved it by the love letters he
had written.
The fears of timid people as to
possible danger from the comet
were unwarranted and but show- j
ed the foolishness of borrowing
trouble. If the »fear and sus-i
pense which attend a Fourth
of July celebration could only |
prove as groundless, what a hap-
py people we would be, but that
is too much to hope.
The announcement is made
that Albert, the new king of
Belgium, is disposing of all his
holdings in rubber concerns in-
herited from his late uncle,
Leopold, in order that he may be
able to act as a disinterested
arbiter in questions which will
arise between the Belgian gov-
ernment and companies in Congo
State. From the proceeds, sev-
eral millions of francs have been
used for philarftfophic purposes
on bebolf of the Congo people.

As yet, not one state in the
country has made adequate pro-
vision for its consumptives New
York has set itself the tax of
having "no uncared-for tubercu-
losis in 1910," and several cities
in other parts of the country
have adopted similar programs.
The National Association says
that tuberculosis -will not be
stamped out until all cases of
this disease are cared for, either
in their homes or in institutions.
With this end in view efforts
will be made to increase the
number of hospital beds in this
country to at least 35,000 by
May 1, 1911.

••fe ij,
Without any thought of senti-
ment or suggestion that we owe
allegiance to anyone, the cold
hard truth is that the retail mer-
chants of our town are the best
business friends we have.
The retailer conducts a school
of commerce for our education—
and tuition is free. Every man
woman and child gets the benefit
of seeing in the home about any-
thing that is of real importance.
He protects* us against fraud and
deceit. He stands for the square
deal.
You never ordered a $10 light-
ning rod of your home merchant
and then found notes for a thou-
sand dollars in the tank the next
day as a result. You never paid
him $60 for a range' that warped
out of shape in six months with-
out your wife getting the money
back. He never charged $75 for
a "trailer" buggy that you found
out afterwards could be bought
anywhere for $60.""
No, the home merchant is just
like you. He lives where he does
business, and his success depends
on making a friend of you and
your neighbor. Like you he-has
to make good.
The retail merchant is now the
one great factor in our commer-
cial system and this is true solely
becavse he renders us better ser-
vice than we can get elsewhere.
Take him away and our home
town is gone and we deprive our
children of the retail store, which
is the greatest single educational
factor in modern life.
No, it cannot be. The retail
merchant will continue to abide
in our affections as long as we
value our home because the aver-
age citizen is proud of his town
(he always tells how close his
farm is to it) and he secretly de-
spises the method of the peddlers
and the peddler system is known
to be the legitimate father of the
Whole catalogue house business.
