All who like the gigling girl
stand up. It seems that in Car-
bon it has gotten so that no kind
of service can be held at the
church which the writer attends
without some of the boys and
girls make the time miserable
for all in sight of them by their
whispering, gigling, etc. This
has not only been noticed by us
but many others have mentioned
it, among whom was the City
Marshall who seems anxious that
the proper order should be kept
at all gatherings. All our good
citizens will appreciate the fact
that our Marshal is quietly and
in a judicious way getting right
in after all the little disturbances
in the town. He informs us
that the city council has raised
his wages for the holidays so
that he will do nothing but look
after the duties of his office and
the citizens, especially the dis-
turbers, may expect him to do
his duty,
Speaking now to those who
are looked on as being the most
law-abiding citizens ana consist-
ent church members of the
town, how many of you are will-
ing to uphold our officers for do-
ing their duty, even if it is your
own girl or boy that is called be-
vfure-’the court to account for a
disturbance at the church of

which probably you are a mem-
ber? Of course we all know
that these disturbances by the
boys and girls and childre n are
done thoughtlessly, however
they are a serious matter and we
hope that this hint will be suf-
ficient to cause all to be more
thoughtful.
Now dear reader, don't puff
up and say that we are just
throwing this at you; we are also
intending it for your neighbor
too.
$5.00 per thousand
I had the State Examiner to examine my strawberry plants and he pronounced them the FINEST

sand, and in larger quantities will reduce the price.
Our stock of groceries is always fresh and we guarantee our goods. See us for hardware and
vehicles. Just received a car of Peter Schuttler wagons. Have a few T. G. Mandt wagons left.
Also have in stock our new riding and walking cotton and corn planters. Our riding and walk-
ing cultivators are bought and will arrive about Jan. 1st. Have in stock one feed mill, have it up
and working so you can see for yourself. It wilPgrind corn, cob and shuck. Be sure to see it.

File away for future reference
the supplement in this issue con-
taining statistics showing the
operation of our present tax sys-
tem. It is complied by the Com-
mercial Secreteries Association
of Texas.
The managers of the oil well
are meeting with encouragement
in the matter of selling stock
They have been-holding meetings
of late in different neighborhoods
and as a result they have sold
considerable stock. The object
in this move was to equalize the
stock as much as possible, then
in case of a failure no one man
would be hurt seriously from a
financial standpoint, and on the
other hand should they strike oil
the entire citizenship would be
benefitted and the dividends
would not go to a half dozen
men who had furnished the mon-
ey to engineer the proposition.
The company will be incorpor-
ated and as soon as the papers
can be approved work will com-
mence. All in Rising Star are
interested in this proposition and
are hopeful of success. At pres-
ent the well is 900 feet deep, and
oil indications are good.
To our way of thinking, Car-
bon ha3 a good city marshal. He
informs us that he is going to
make a specialty of looking af-
ter disturbances, and, judging
from his past record, we believe
he means what he says and will
do the right thing. He has al-
ready proven himself to be ihe
proper man in the proper place
and the good citizens are going
to stand by him.
Public Notice.
When a citizen sees a law be-
ing violated he should report it
to an officer, and if he does not
report it he is doing wrong. The
officer can not be at all places at
all times, read minds, etc., so
how can he attend to the duties
of his office without the assist-
ance of the law-abiding citizens?
Some citizens will continually
fuss because the officers don’t
get in after every offense wheth-
er they know about it or not,
and that shme citizen hasn’t!
back-bone enough to report the
disturbance he ha3 seen to the
officer.
