To the Democrats of the First
Congressional District:
Chairman James T. Lloyd of
the Democratic National Con-
gressional Committee, advises me
that the committee is in urgent
need of funds for the campaign
now in progress aud requests the
democrats of this district to con-
tribute at least $1 each. He
states that the prospects are very
bright for a democratic majority
in the next house of Representa-
tives. I hereby appoint the fol-
lowing gentlemen to gather con
tributions in their respective
counties and request them to
name suitable parties to look af
ter contributions in each precinct
in the several counties. Please
remit to me at Texarkana and I
will acknowledge receipt and for
ward promptly to Chairman Lloyd
I trust that this appeal will meet
the enthusiastic response of the
superb Democracy of the First
District:

Peculiar Sallies at woman.
“Religion to a woman is a kind
of secondary sexual experience.'’
“The modest woman is one
who cries her ware in an artistic
and effective manner.—Elben
Hubbard.
Now, a great many people may
not know who Elbert Hubbard is,
and unless it could be generally
known that ha is a conscientious
m in full of witty jokes’ the above
puns would not set so well with
womankind who have done so
much to immortalize, elevate and
hold up the human family at
large. Man wit bout the influence
of worn m would be almost, if not
altogether a blank in the world of
civilization, and ’would seem
a sad commentary that any man
would sincerely cast any reflection
on the name of good women, the
noblest attribu ts f humanity.
Do You Itch?
If so, you know the sensation
is not an agreeable one, and hard
to cure unless the proper remedy
is used.
Hunt's Cure is the king of all
skin remedies. It cures promptly
any itching trouble known. No
matter the name or place. Ooe

Proof in the Tasting.
In the long, long ago. when the
writer had first felt his “pin feath-
ers” sprouting, he attended a so-
cial in a rural neighborhood.
Having a fervent and rambunc-
tious appetite for intellectual food,
he popped himself down by a
handsome “gal” who was seated
iu the northeast corner oi the
room pulling the cube root out of
a wad of chewing gum as large as
a goose egg; and he put this query
to her: “Miss, are you foud of
botany?’* I don’t know, sii; I—I
never tasted any,’’was her reply.—
Celina Record.
Bet a nickel this editor took up
newspaper work in order that he
might learn something sure
enough and so he could tell off on
himself some day.
Selling when Ginned.
From ail over Southwest Texas
the report is that the farmers are
selling their cotton as fast as they
can get it ready for market, and
that there is no disposition on the
part of any of them to hold the
product back for higher prices
than are now being offered. That
this is the sensible policy to pur-
sue, the cotton-growers of this
section are more than ever per
suaded, with the experience they
have gone through in the last
twelve months. There may or
may not be an advance iu the mar-
ket prices some months heqpe,
but comparatively few cotton pro-
ducers are in a position to specu-
late on the possibilities or to pre-
fer the bird in the bush to the one
in the hand.—bau Antonio Ex
press.
