to make a flower grow where an
ash heap flourished before.
Beauty is its own excuse.

an inch thick and hard as a rock.
This wall is one of the unexplain
ed mysteries of North Texas.
It is scientifically built, and
from an engineering standpoint
is perfect. Excavations have
been made to a depth of 40 feet,
and the bottom has never been
fftund. The most reasonable ex-
planation for its construction is
that it was .built to keef> off the
waters of some early day sea, or
possibly the Gulf of Mexico.
Some day the people who are
curious about prehistoric buried
cities in other countries will
make a thorough investigation of
this curious wall.—Garland News
Some of the big guns over the
country—head politicians—are
announcing themselves favorable

Texas newspaper men will en-
joy themselves next week at San
Antonio, the occasion being the
annual meeting of the Texas
Press Association. The editor
o^this “great religious vyeekly”
is too busy staying at home to at-
tend the meeting, but we hope
the boys will all enjoy themselves
and get much good out of the
gathering.
The Texas Mesquiter, publish-
ed at Mesquite by Jno. E. Davis,
has recently changed from a
six column ready-print to
a seven-column all-home folio.
Some one lias suggested that
John made the change in order
to be able to use the seven-
column funny pictures, but we
have it straight from him that
the change was made in order to
give more space for his excellent
home patronage.
A San Francisco suffragette
claims she has informati. ,i to the
effect that Andrew Carnegie is
registered in Scottland as a voter
and is therefore a citizen of that
country and not of America.
Mr. Carnegie’s private secretary
in New York disputes the truth
of the information and says his
boss is an American citizen.
But what difference does it
make, anyhow. Andrew Car-
negie is a small potato—especi-
ally in stature.
County Commissioners are
now discussing the- iffncitTfe of a
heavy coat of crude oil on the
leading pijfes of the county.
Take tlw* eight leading pike roads
-of the county and oil them, the
saving in gravel dirt being wast-
ed by being blown away, will
almost pay for the oil. The road
will be more durable, more
pleasant for travelers and the
commissioners will have done a
kindness to man and beast, not
mentioning the automobiles.
Here’s for the oil, of course the
Richardson pike to have the ex-
periment made on it firstVas this
is the best pike in the south.
Richardson Echo.
The present county commis-
sioners’ court will, no doubt, go
down in history as a body that
did things worth while to the
people. Our own commissioner,
Jim Miller, is one of the “live
pnes,” but there’s glory enough
for all.
Six Methodist conferences
of Texas will provide a special
pastor for the 001 students of
the University of Texas, at
Autin, who are affiliated with
the Methodist church. This
pastor will give instruction in
the Bible and will care for the
religious welfare, especially for
students who come from Metho-
dist families. Under proper re-
striction. degree credit is given
for Bible study by the Univer-
sity faculty.
What the Chronicle editor
doesn’t know about embroidery
flouncing would fill a large book.
This was evidenced by the adver-
tisement of the Carrollton Mer-
cantile Co. last week. “We"
advertised 8-inch embroidery
flouncing at 11c per yurd, while
the copy read 18-inches Now,
the editor set tills ad. and read
proof, yet this got by us. Of
course, had our assistant, Miss
Robertson, set the ad. or even
read proof, the mistake would
not have occurred. We are sor-
ry the incident occurred.
Charlie Curfman brought us

Concerning a tarmer(?)
Dear Chronicle Editor.
I noticed in your paper recent-
ly that one J. C. Davis is inter-
ested in farming. Also I notic-
ed, not long ago, the Garland
editor gave space to the same ex-
pression. Now, the truth of the
business is. both editors have
been misinformed or they are
very poor judges of fanning and
I can prove my statement by
any farmer in the community;
for his rows are so crooked, if
you start to follow one of them
you will meet yourself coming
back before you are half way
through the Held.
This same gentleman is lauded
very high as a gardner, when
the truth is, when lie planted his
beans and they begun to come
up, J. C. got busy and when ask-
ed by a passing friend what he
wns about he replied that he was
turning his beans, for they had
started wrong end up; the bean
was on top und he was changing
them. Now, you see, he was
pulling them up and re-setting
them with the tops down and
the roots up in the air.
Now% I like J. C. and he is one
of my very best friends, but he
was not cut out for a farmer and
in justice to the farming public
I will say just go and see for
yourself and be convinced. If I
have overdrawn the picture I
will set ’em up to J. C. and the
editor men, too.

Bucklen’s Arnica Salve is
known everywhere us the best

A Dining
At the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. C. Davis last Monday evening
a most excellent dinner was
spread by the Ladies' Aid Society
of the Christian church to the
men folks. The gathering, prop-
erly called a “get-to gether meet-
ing," was thoroughly enjoyed by
all and church work was dis-
cussed at length by the pastor,
,Elder Cockrell of Ft. Worth.
Those seated around the table,
which was loaded with every-
thing good to eat that is to be
had at this season of the year,
were: Messrs. E. R. Cockrell,
J. T. Ogden, T. R. and E. W.
Burnett, J. T. Rhoton, W. M.
Walker, J. C. Davis, D. FI Box,
Jno. T. Risien, W. H. McDaniel,

Now Paint
Strike when the iron is hot
and paint when the property
needs it.
They paintjahips a dozen times
a year; yes, some of them every
voyage. What for, do you think?
To look nice and get the busi-
ness.
A livery keeps its carriages
painted, varnished and washed,
to ludk nice and get business.
A man, with a house for sale
or to let, “does it up,” and
Devoe is the paint.
There’s more in paint than to
keep-out water. Paint for looks
and you needn’t think about
water. A fresh coat of paint
once a year te about as good for
his credit as paying his debts.
But the man whose buildings
and fences look new, very likely
has no debts.

Cullen F. Thomas of Dallas has
secured subscription amounting
to $10,000 of a $100,000 loan fund
which he proposes to raise to
assist worthy students to obtain
an education in the University of
of Texas. Four scholarships of
$250.00 each has been awarded
to assist four girls to be in the
the University next session.
Without this aid these girls
could not have obtained college
training.
City Building Notes.
Debt is a hard taskmaster.
The community spirit pays big
dividends.
A clean city is naturally
healthy city.
Skill without will is bound to
stund still.
If you dbn’t get the fly he will
surely get you.
“No pains, no gains,” applies
to cities as- well as individuals.
Ignorance and carelessness
squander half what knowledge
and energy create.
The knockers are the only ones
that get along without co-opera-
tion.
Though the world may scoff at
small beginnings, yet by such,
history records the story of
greatness.
The grouch, is out of tune with
God and man. The music of
prosperity drown his doleful
strains.
Don’t lie about your town.
The truth is good enough for the
booster, and the knocker is soon
found out.

COATED TONGUE
MEANS LAZY LIVER
A T,nzy Liver Needs a Dose of
Dodson's Liver Tone—Guar-
anteed to Take Place of
Calomel.
When your doctoi* looks to see
if your tongue is coated, he is
trying to find out if your liver is
working properly. A few years
ago doctors had to prescribe
calomel—there was nothing else
to give.
Recently in many sections of
the country Dodson's Liver Tone
has practically taken the place
of calomel as a liver remedy.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is mild,
pleasant tasting and harmless—
which makes 'it a tine medicine
for use when your children be-
come bilious and constipated.
But the most remarkable feature
of Dodson’s Liver Tone is the
fact that Sunders drug store,
who sells it, guarantees it abso-
lutely. The druggist will re-
turn your money without argu-
ment if a bottle fails to give en-
tire satisfaction.
Price, 50 cents. We suggest
that you get a bottle-today and
have it ready for the next mem-
ber of your family whose liver
goes wrong, Adv
For Weak and Nervous
Tired out, weak, nervous men
and women would feel ambitious,
energetic, full of life and always

would do the sensible thing for
health—take Electric Bitters.
Nothing better for the stomach,
liver or kidneys. Thousands
say they owe their lives to this
wonderful home remedy. Mrs.
O. Rhinevault, of Vestal Center,
N. Y., says: “I regard Electic
Bitters as one of the greatest of
gifts. I can never forget what
it hast done for me.” Get a bot-
tle yourself and see what
difference it will make in your
health. Only 50c and $1.00.

“Nearly all those Wagons and
Buggies are Studebakers'*
Every year over one hundred thousand
Studebaker vehicles are sold.
This tells you what the farmers of the
country think of the Studebaker wagons.
This appreciation has beei^donstantly grow-
ing for sixty years.
This appreciation has been earned by the deter-
mination of Studebaker to produce an honestly built
wagon that will do a full day's work and keep on doing
it, and not to build a cheap one.
The man who buys the Studebaker gets all the
improvements gained by the experience of two gener-
ations of wagon builders.
