W. R. Hearst is cutting a great
political swell just now, but be
lieve it will lead more to socialsim,
trouble, etc., than to anything
good.__
Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas
proved that he favored state pro-
hibition by showing his ticket to
ihe election managers, hence it is
known that he voted like many
others of his state.
The thirteenth Semi Annual
session of the Cass County Cho-
rus Choir Convention will meet at
Alamance, about four miles east
from Atlanta, on Saturday and
Sunday the 10th and 11 th of Oc
tober, _ -
“Taft has abandoned his ‘digni-
fied Silence' policy and is now
making funny noises like a man
who is scared mighty bad.” Im-
agine he will roar like a lion ere
the election is over, judging by the
past. _
The Breeze would tell of the
tine roast ’possum and ’taters the
family occasionally enjoys, but
Jesse Hall is so laboriously afraid
we’ll take gout from high living
we’re afraid be will abandon his
airship and fall back to his first,
and really best love.
Cotton is moving some; the peo-
ple are supposed to be getting
some money, and the circus pic-
tures are beginning to adorn the
newspapers and billboards. Sure
and the old saying holds good on
the old line—that’s the way the
money goes, etc.
VV. R Hearst is just now en-
gaged in a political round up that
would alarm a’most anybody, yet
if anybody has found or seen any-
thing but dissatisfied sensational-
ism in Hearst the past several
years, they can see more than we
can. Hejumps onto some of the
strongest and best men in the old
parties, and that tickles almost to
death those who are always ready
to join hands with the sensational
kicker and knocker to tear down
the old whether there be any
prospect of good in the new or
not.
An exchange says that nobody
got rich patronizing Tom Lawson’s
latest easy money schemes, and
further says: “Americans are not
such lobsters as Tom Lawson
thought.” Now Tom had previous-
ly aggitated and aggravated until
he had a pretty good following,
and he had no idea such easy
game would go back on him when
it came time for him to get a little
pie, but the idea of self saved
many and fooled Tom.

Year’s Grain Crop.
Recent compilations of the grain
crop of the Uuited States for the
year 1908 show the amount total
of corn, wheat, oafs, rye and bar-
ley to be 600,000,000 bushels.
Some Railroad History.
Railroad transportation in the
United Slates was substantially
75 years old in 1907. There were
only 32 miles of railroad in opera-
tion in 1832, and in the 75 years
to 1907 there were constructed
228,128 miles of operated rail-
road.

Tonic cures quicker and more

edy. One bottle is guaranteed to
cure any one case, You can’t

Heavy Rain Storm.
A heavy hail and rain storm is
reported to have done much dam-
age Mondqy evening in the north
part of the county and in Cass
near Lanier. The hail was small
but beat out open cotton to a great
extent.—Jeff Arson Jimplecute
Successful Effort.
An Oklahoma girl advertised
for a husband, and got him, The
total expense for advertising, wed-
ing outfit, etc, was 11 says an ex
change He died within a year,
leaving her an insurance policy of
$10,000. And yet some people
claim that it doesn’t pay to adver-
tise—Exchange.
End of Murder Trial.

at Linden, Howard Crow, aged 15
was convicted of murder in the
2nd degree and sentenced to 5
years iu the reformatory. Crow
killed a young man 20 years of age
in a quarrel over a ball game.
The parties lived near Hughes
Springs. — Atlanta News.
All Round Suggestion.
The best way to raise the price
of cotton in Texas is to build more
cotton mills. If mills thousands
of miles away can buy Texas cot
ton, manufacture it into cloth,
yarns and thread and reship to
this state and sell to the farmer,
why not .establish mills and add
the cost of freight both ways to
the price paid the farmer for the
cotton? If our laws are prohibi-
tory to such institutions, make
them rignt.—Plano Star-Courier.

Wholesale Religious Ingathering.
At Glory, some 18 miles south
west of Blossom occured last Sun-
day afternoon a remarkable Bap-
tismal scene, when 106 individuals
who had professed religion in a
protracted meeting held by Rev.
J. N. Ludwiok of McLennan coun-
ty, were baptised by that reverend
gentleman in less than one hour.
There were 149 candidates for
baptism, but there were 43 who
could not he baptised at that time.
These will be baptised one week
from next Sunday. About 3000
people witnessed the scene which
was inspiring to everyone, not on-
ly because of the motive that
moved the individual, 'nut, because
of the wholesale manner m which
the people had acquiesced in the
Christian religion and the unanim
ity ’of purpose surrounding the
scene. The minister baptised
the entire number and said when
thru he could baptise as many
more without tiring.—Blossom
Bee.
The Sweet Potato Man.
John H. Scegraves, living a
mile south of town, is marketing
some very fine sweet potatoes in
our town. It seems to the Mon
itor that this is one staple crop
that our farmers are sadly neglect-
ing. He is harvesting at the rate
of 288 bushel per acre, and this is
solely by “grabbling/’ If these
potatoes wore allowed to mature,
or to grow from now until frost,
it is reasonable to suspose he
would make at least 350 or 400
bushels per acre.
Who can estimate the value of
land that will produce at this rate?
It is cheap at “any old price.’’—
Naples Monitor.
There are great possibilities in
this country for the man who goes
to work in earnest, and with the
advantages of soil and climate

reason for failure,
Fine Comparison.
If the ordinary country weekly
should use as much space boost-
ing itself as the monthly magazines
do, the people would become tired
of them mighty soon. And yet
there are few country weeklies
that do not possess more merit
than any of the so called maga-
zines. They are doing more for
the country.—Exchange.
Even the most ordinary country
weekly fills a place that can he
filled by no other means—every-
body derives benefits from it and
they all easily realize its material
worth. Yet no one questions the
magazine in its place.
Advertise, push your business.
Thoughts for Thinking.
One reason why “the west’’is al-
ways prosperous is that everyone
that way is a “boomer.’' Let
Clarksville learn such a lesson
and times will be better right
away.—Clarksville Times.
Re eently the bee asked a man
from the west what he told the peo
pie when they came to his town
prospering- “I tell them it is the
best town in the country” he re-
plied. He was then asked what
his neighbors told them, and he
replied. “Just what 1 do.’’ And
therein lies the secret of town
building—everybody telling the
good points. Any town on earth
is a good town if the people are
doing there duty by it.—Blossom
Bee.
The “west” has been booming
since befo’ de wa’, but there is
most in general some boomerang
to every boom. People while
they are westaie all boomers alike
They can’t afford to be otherwise.
It is common sense and good
Judgment to do as the Romans do
while in Rome, but while at home
it is well to do as home folks do.
Instantaneous Action.
“I was almost distracted by a
terrible itching which defied all
treatment until 1 obtained a box
of Hunt’s Cure. The first applica-
tion afforded instant and absolute)
relief. The one box affected a
complete cure.
“It is simply wonderful in it’s
instantaneous action.”

Advanced Ground.
The rural carriers are taking
advanced ground in demanding
better roads. Every rural route
should be declared public roads
and the people should keep them
iu good passable condition.—
Atlanta News.
And the rural carries should all
he as liberal towards the roads as
they ask of their patrons. Let
everybody tun to and make plenty
of good roads, for people, carriers,
fishermen and all share the bene-
fits, yet we believe the men on
the roads every day gets the
greater share.
Crop Cut Short.
Cotton is coming in pretty reg-
ular now. The crop, however,
will fall considerably short of what
was expected a few weeks ago.—
Strawn Enterprise.
From every quarter, except very
few isolated spots, the coiton crop
is materially cut off from what it
once promised for the year. Some
sections still claim they will get a
bale to the acre.
