E. S. Peters, President of the
Cotton Growers’ Association, is
out in a card to the farmers ad-
vising them that cotton will bring
not less than 12 cents a pound
this fall.
S. H Key left yesterday for his
home in Terry county after spend-
ing several weeks here on busi-
ness. His son Mart remained
here and will stay till November
when Mr. Key will come back for
his stock.
The editor had the pleasure of
attending the Literary Society at
Center Point last Saturday night
and must say they have an extra
good society. The older people
are interested in it which con-
tributes much to its success.
A special edition of the Rising
Star Record came out last week
in pamphlet form. It contained
much history of Rising Star and
pictures of most of the present
business men. With the enter-
prise they have they will be sure
to succeed in making a good town
better.
“The price procured by the
Orange County Fruit and Truck
Association for Irish potatoes this
year demonstrates that $75 to
$100 per acre can be made easily
by raising them. Early cabbage
can be made to yield $300 to $400
per acre easily,” so says the Tex-
as Producers Review. Why can’t
Eastland county profit by the ex-
perience of the eastern counties?
How often, after oxposure, we find
ourselves in the throes of a severe
cold, yhich may be followed by
pneumonia. To cure the one and
prevent the other take a dose of
Harts Honey and Horehound.

HALLMARK NEWS.
Sept. 7. —Health in our com-
munity is good. ,
Cotton picking is the order of
the day now.

FROM FLATWOOD.
Sept. 6.—Well I’ve been gone
so long it’s almost like starting
in anew and I will begin by ask-
ing the editor to pardon me for
not being more prompt but it has
come a good rain and I am over
the “blues” so I will try to do
better.
Some sickness in our communi-
ty but none serious.
Cotton picking has stopped
since the rain but will open up
after a few days sunshine.
Most people have gathered the
corn and the opinion prevails that
there is plenty corn made here
to run another year without hav-
ing their corn cribs up north and
its a grand thing. Have plenty
corn as it’s what makes the mare
go, and that’s the thing.
Cotton will make about one-
fifth of a bale to the acre and be
gathered in 7 or 8 weeks. The
boll worms and sharpshooters
came very near getting it all,
then the dry, hot weather came
along and liberally divided with
us, taking the larger half, so it’s
short on one'end.
Well it will be all off with the
boll worm in a short-time for we
have found out that we have the
very place we want for fruit. All
we want is to get a market for
our produce and then the cotton
famine will be only a joke to us
for we will not have to depend
on it for our living. I hope to
see the day soon when there will
be large orchards all over the
sand belt.
S. J. Lyerla has returned from
a trip to the World’s Fair and re-
ports a pleasant trip.
D. H. Collins and D. D. Collins
have returned from a trip to the
northern part of Texas. Both of
them were sick but are up again.

Notice Farmers.
Three of our Union men, Char-
ley Yancy, J. V. and D. H. Har-
bin, had the misfortune of get- j
ting everything they had burned

ate. H. A. Collins
Sec. Flatwood Union, postoffice
Eastland,I Texas **
Flatwood Union.
Sept. 6.—The Farmers Union
at Flatwood is progressing nicely,
growing stronger in number and
in knowledge all the while. We
strictly mean to attend, to our
business in a business way and
we know that the other Locals
are of the same notion, and suc-
cess is awaiting us. It isn’t long
off till the time when the Farm-
ers Union Flag will wave and we
will have won the victory and
peace and good will reigns over
our land. Our merchants need
not fear us, we are not on the
beat. We will show them in the
near future that we have as good
feeling for them as we ever had.
Merchants, stand still and see the
salvation of the farmer and mer-
chant. We are not mad but des-
perately in earnest. I am truly
sorry the men who are my friends
can’t get into the Union but it is
so fixed that you cant come in so
my being sorry does not do any
good, but by and by some day
I hope to see all my friends in
the Union but remember being a
friend does not get any one in.
It is a Farmers Union instead of
a Friends Union. Now I’ll close
by asking all the Union men to
cheer up. Correspondent.
Next Correspondent’s meeting
Saturday evening Sept. 24th.
What is the matter with
Union correspondents?
the
E.Im Union.
Sept. 6.—Our Union has enjoy-
ed a steady growth all summer.
The time for Union men to put a
shoulder to the wheel and. all
push together is here and as for
Elm Union we can say that we
are going to stay with the Union
and its principles.

PLEASANT TO THE TASfE.
One of the most important requir-
ment9 in a medicine to be given to
small children should be that it is
pleasant to take. Bad tasting med-
icines disturb the stomach, destroy
the appetite and it is extremely dif-
ficult to get children to take them.

Laxative Syrup, the certain cure for
dyspepsia, constipation, and bilious-
ness pleases the most sensitive per-
sons and is the ideal laxative for
young children.
