If you can, go fishing, go fish*
iog, and if you can’t go fishing,
you miss what many others seem
to eDjoy.
The next eight or ten mouths
will be school months and the
time should be well employed by
the lads and lasses who are to be
the men and women of the coun-
try in coming days.
The election has been ordered
and on the 15th of October the
people of Morris county will again
decide whether onr county seat
shall be removed to Rocky Branch
or remain at Daingerfield.
Look out for business to begin
to move now All the papers all
over the country are coming out
with great big Ads. Strange that
business houses will not push for
more business all the year ’round
It is about time for closing the
baseball season, but the foot-ball
season will open with the opening
of schools, and it’s difficult to de-
cide which is the worst of the
two. As late as last Sunday Dal-
las ba<l a big ball game excursion.
Official heads in China are fig-
uring seriously on offering Ex-
President Roosevelt a large sal
ary to go there to assist in pilot-
ing that country through a rather
stormy period. He bears record
as being a great colonel and he
might do a wonderful work in
China
The Texas house and senate
finally got together and passed
the insurance bill much as it has
been pending in both branches of
the legislature for several days
and when the new governor takes
hold of the r eins this fall he will
have a lot of places to fill with
new men on the insurance com
mission.
The Texas legislature has pass-
ed a prison reform bill but failed
to abolish the leather strap
Guess the members considered
the old injunction to spare not
the rod, thinking that though the
couvicts may not be leased out,
they may need the chastening—
strap of correction though the
stars may fall.
Cho-Sen, Japan.
“Korea is no more. This plucky
little Hermit Kingdom has at last
been compelled to yield to the
overpowering schemes of Japan,
and the treaty annexation was
made August 29, under the name
of Japanese Province of Cho Sen ”
It seems to be a “chosen” pro
vince whether it was a matter of
choice or not.

Impressive Sight.
About the most impressive
thing in this world to an ultimate
consumer is to see a country fam
ily going to a picnic with her
lunch in a trunk.—Snap Shot.
Why certainly! The “ultimate
consumers” can be seen going in
droves on horseback, muleback,
or any way to get there and back
if it’s an all day gathering with
diuner on the ground.
Old but, Growing.
The old Galveston News, like
the city in which it is published,
continues to grow and though
about three score and ten years
old, it published au extra edition
September 1, which says:
Galveston is developing a grow-
ing busiuess with Cuba and Mexi-
co. Which shows wbat can be
done in the way of trade with the
Latin-Araerican republics to the
south. The combined business of
the port of Galveston with Cuba
and Mexico in 1909 10 amounted
to $7,078,536, compared with $6,
186, 762 in 1908 09.
The wonderful development of
the fish and oyster industry is
presented.
The features of the different
sections of the Texas coast coun-
try are brought out in detail;
true, the Omaha Folks are ex-
tremely fortunate iu securing his
services,—Mt. Pleasant Times-Re-
view.
The Home Paper.
Your home paper is always
ready and willing to do its part
toward boosting the town, to pub-
lish church notices, public meet-
ing notices of all kinds, chronicle
the deaths, births and marriages,
and in fact everything that is of
interest to the towu and people iu
general.. And had you ever stop-
ped to take notice of what the
town—the people—do toward
making the paper a better factor
to work for the interest of the
towu! Some people never do
anything for the paper, but to the
contrary, they knock on the pa-
per every chance they get, and
complain about the paper being
no account.—May Messenger.
Yet about as little as can be
said about the man who is always
knocking the paper because—per-
haps he is doing nothing towards
making the paper what he thinks
it ought to be—will by and bye
see the error of bis way and kick
himself by subscribing, pay a year
iu advance and never suffer him-
self to get on the delinquent list.
