A Boys’ Corn Club has been
organized at Waxahachie. A
corn club beats a corn juice club
all, to smash, but Waxanacbie has
a lid and the bootlegger has a

gerald will come to Waxahachie,
bringing nothing with him, and
will stay twenty-four hours, we
guarantee that he will leave satis-
fied that the lid is on, and that

—Waxahachie.
Now that is not the kind of an
invitation Editor Fitzgerald will
ever accept.
This is what Joe T. Green of
the Blossom Bee says be would
li^e to tell his correspondents,
and we think he did : “Some
times we feel like giving our cor-
respondents a little advice and
tell them to not mention who has
preached but tell about who is to
preach and when ; tell where the
visitors are from ^nd where they
goto; to write ea<£h item in a
paragraph to itself; to not men-
tion any sickness unless the par-
ty or parties are sure enough
sick; to always send their own
name with their letters as well
as tbs name over which they
write, and a few more things,
but we wont.”
There is a discussion in the
commissioners’court of the ad-
visibility of installingifli new elec-
tric elevator in the court house,
as the old elevator is said to be
in very bad repair. Judge Young
and Com. Eaton favor the new
elevator. Commissioners Smith,
of Lancaster, and Hamilton, of
Mesquite, and Walcott, of Oak
Cliff, object. We know nothing
of the needs in the case, but the
following remarks from Auditor
Fearn are belittling in the ex-
treme and place him way below
par in our estimation, We be-
lieve Com, Smith to bean honest,
upright man, who would not let
even his desire to aid a friend
stand in the wav of his duties to
his people, to say nothing of the
danger to life. He may be over-
saving of the people’s money we
cannot sav, but the other is one
of the meanest little accusations
we have ever heard one officer
•i. • *
throw at^another. We are not
• . . ., . /'A-' •
acquainted with the other com-
missioners but no doubt what we
V
sav of Com. Smith can be said of
them. The following from Au-
ditor Fearn is taken from the
Richardson Echo: “Mr. Rus-
sell, the engineer, I am also in-
formed, has been a resident of
Mesquite, Mr. Hamilton’s dis-
trict, for a number of years and
is, no doubt, a personal friend of
Mr. Hamilton, and no doubt en-
joys a large acquaintance in that
section of the county. I am fur-
ther informed that Mr. Russell
conducted a gin near Lancaster
in Mr. Smith’s district and ad-,
joining Mr. Walcott’s, for two or
three years and very likely en-j
joys a large acquaintance in that
section of the county. He is, no
doubt, a personal friend of these
gentlemen, and it is quite natur-
al that they should hate, very
much to see. them lose theft-
places fqr seven months in the
year.”
day (Nov. 8), must obtain exemp-
tion certificates in Derson in or-
der to qualify as voters. Tbey
must do this whether tjiev live
in citv, town or country.
No other person exempt from
the payment of poll tax, and re-
siding elsewhere than in a city
of 10,000 ;or more, need obtain a
certificate of exemption. This
means that oersons residing in
the country, and who were 60
years ot ave or more on Jan. 1,
1909, or who came to the state
after that date, or who are deaf
4
and dumb, blind or minus an
arm cor leg, need not secure cer-
tificates of exemption.
,4 In fact, no one in the country
needs an exemption certificate
save t;he young men above de-
scribed.—Dallas News.
Own Your Own Mind
Have you ever considered the
possibility of doing this ?
Remember that living in a rent-
ed mind, furnished with opinions
bought on the installment plan,
never offers any inducement
with it for the future. Not only
this, but you are not saving up
anything.
The advantages of owning your
own mind will be apparent at a
moment’s thought.
In the first place, you coftie to
talfe a personal interest, which
you do not feel when it is owned
by some one else. Then again,
the natural increase in value re-
dounds to vour own profit. You
have no one to dictate to you as
to the insidt; furnishings and dec-
orations. Besides, it makes you
more particular with regard to
what you put into it. If you live
in a rented mind, you don’t care
Vnuch. You will drive nails in
the walls, and get generally care-
less about it. But when you own
vour own mind, you are constant-
ly going about picking it up.
You take real pride in it.
Be it ever so humble, there is
no place like a mind that you own
yourself.— Life.
The following from the Wash-
ington Post of Jan. 15, gives an
expression of the esteem in which
Hori. Chas. Culberson is held by
co-workers:
Senator Rob’ert L. Owen, sec-
retary of the conference of Demv
ocratic senators, made public
yesterday the' following letter
relative to the resignation of Sen-
ator Culberson as minority
leader :
“December 10, 1909.
“Hon. Charles A* Culberson,
Washington, D. C.
‘‘Mv Very Dear Friend: On
behalf of the Democratic confer-
ence of the United States Senate,
over which y^u ha5ve so kindlv
and graciously presided. Iam in-
structed by a formal resolution
of the conference to express to
you the profound appreciation of
vour Democratic colleagures for
the faithful, able, impartial and
7ery honorable manner in which
you have discharged the duties
of the trust reposed in you "by
thepi.
“Nothing but an earnest de-
sire tp promote the restoration
ot your health would have induc-
ed your associates to accept your
resignation.
“Had you< been able to over-
hear the sentiments expressed
at the conference when your de-
termination to withdraw was dis-'
cussed you would more fuily re-
alize the vtry cordial admiration
and affection felt for yoli by all
of your colleagues on whose be-
half and in whose name I am di-
rected to thank vou for the fidel-
ity and distinguished ability with
which you have so satisfactorily
served them as chairman. Faith-

Uncle Billie Winniford is add-
ing his testimony to the many
who have read George Jackson’s
book, Sixty Years in Texas. Un-
cle Billie say*s it is a splendid
book; that they just read and
read it every night, and there is
so much in it he did not know
and is so glad to know, and that
every Texan ought to have the
book. The author has placed a
few copies in the Herald office
which we will be pleased to show
anyone interested in Texas his-
tory. The author, Mr. Jackson,
is a personal friend of the editor
and family being almost the first
acquaintance we made in coming
to the state. He is a gentleman
of culture, and tells the events of
the early history ot this great
state in a clear, concise manner,
weaving in many humorous in-
cidents. The book is oriced very
reasonably ; paper bindings, 65
cents ; cloth, $1.00.
