District Union.
Cisco District Union met at
Liberty Hill on Saturday, Jan.
26, 1907. While the attendance
was not as good as desired, still
there were more delegates pres-
ent than for several meetings
past- What was lacking in
numbers was made up in en-
thusiasm. Bro. F. T. Weaver,
County Organizer, was with us
and made us a rousing speech.
We feel that much and lasting
good was done, and Union
members were encouraged to
press forward in the good cause
so well begun.
Bro. T. A. Strain, District
Lecturer, made a splendid talk,
admonishing all members to
remember the purposes of our
organization and their obliga-
tions, and to strive faithfully to
live up to them. The good
ladies of the community served
dinner and all did ample justice
to the eating part of the pro-
gram. “Bald-Head” was there
all right, as large as life, re-
joicing in the fact that at last
he had the opportunity of test-
ing the eatables of Liberty Hill
community.
Resolutions were passed de-
manding the legislature to pass
adequate laws to prevent the
shipping of intoxicating liquors
C. 0. D. into local option com-
munities, to prevent the “buck-
et shop,’’ “wire house’’ and all
forms of gambling in cotton
futures, and to punish those
“human vultures” who are
dealing in the virtue of young
girls, as recent exposures have
brought to light in one of our
Texas cities.
Next District Union meets at
Bluff Branch March 2, 1907.
Let all Union members come,
whether you are delegates or
not. Good speakers will be on
hand and a rousing time is ex-
pected. U. <>. Dyer,
Acting Secretary.
Resolutions of Denture.
The following resolutions
were passed by the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union at
the meeting of Jan. 28th.
Whereas, the W. C. T. U.
stands for civic righteousness
and purity in public as well as
private life; and
Whereas, there has lately
been exhibited in our highest
State law-making body, to-wit:
fin* Senate of the State of Tex-
as, the example of one of its
members making use of alco-
holic stimulants under circum-
stances of publicity that showed
a reckless disregard of the
growth of public sentiment in
favor of temperance;
Therefore we, the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union of
Cisco, do hereby record our dis-
approval of such practice and
example.

a pleasant evening each week.
These little gatherings help to
draw neighbors and friends into

A Guest.
New York Girls Don't Blush.
"It’s funny, but it’s true,”
sighed the gray-headed man,
“that most all the blushing that
is done in New York nowadays
is done by men. Novelists
ought to make a note of that.
If they want to be strictly ac-
curate in their attempts to por-
tray contemporaneous New
York life they must cut out that
old-fashioned phrase ‘lie blush-
ed like a girl.’ That doesn’t
mean anything now. Girls
don’t blush any more; that is,
New York girls don’t- Not for
ail age have I seen a feminine
face suffused with tbc flush ro-
mantic. But I’ve seen men
blush, lots of ’em. It behooves
authors to bear that physiologi-
cal change in mind, and when-
ever they write a G. B. S. epi-
gram or anything else that
proves a little too strong for
feminine sensibilities they will
have to describe its effect on the
abashed auditor by saying,
‘She blushed like a man.’”—

Let the Entire South Rejoice.
The entire South should feel
proud of the fact that it is the
possessor of America’s greatest
commercial school. The Janu-
ary enrollment of the Tyler
Commercial College of Tyler,
Texas, surpassed in numbers
that of any other American
college. More than J00 enroll-
ments of new students were re-
corded during the month, which
is more than the number enroll-
ed by any other commercial
school in the United States, and
more than double the number
enrolled by any other Southern
commercial school.
This now famous institution
opened its doors to the public
just seven years ago. It has
had a rapid and continued
growth each year. Its wonder-
ful success is due mainly to its
use of the famous Byrne Sim-
plified Shorthand and Practical
Bookkeeping and Business
Training, its employing none
but the very best and most pro-
gressive teaching talent, its
progressive, honest business
methods, its deep interest in its*
Students, not only while in
school, but in placing them in
positions and helping them to
succeed after graduating. This
institution can now point with
pride to its graduates in the
highest positions in every walk
of commercial life. Its courses
of Book-keeping, Business
Training, Shorthand, Type-
writing, Telegraphy and Station
worlT are the most thorough
and completed Let the entire
South now rejoice that it can
boast of not only one of the
largest commercial schools in
America, but one of the most
thorough and practical; one
that is enabling young men and
women to more than thrlbble
their earning capacity, and one
that holds that all true educa-
tion is based on character and
honesty; a school that strives
hard to strengthen each and
every student morally as well
as in the technical and practi-
cal knowledge of Book-keeping,
Business Training, Shorthand,
Typewriting and Telegraphy.
