NOTHING BUT ECONOMY WILL
SAVE US.
The fact is patent to all that
so far as this county is con-
cerned the cotton crop will not
be as good as last year, the
price promises to be no better,
the corn crop will not be more
than sufficient to supply home
consumption; there is already a
large unliquidated debt lap-
ping back oyer one and two
years, the question now is,
what will save the people from
absolute bankruptcy? The
merchants haye strained their
credit and exhausted their own
means in the effort to furnish
supplies to the exhausted
farmers- The end has been
reached. There is but one
thing that can do us any good.
Economy in its purest and
simplest form is the last resort.
Buy such things as necessity
demands and stop short rather
than surpass the demand. Take
care of eyerything bought,
make your tools go as far as
possible by taking them in out
or the weather. Dispose of all
surplus stock, sell, give away
or kill all the dogs on the place
and keep a pig instead. If you
have a milch cow, see that she
is a first class cow, one that
will give riot less than three
gallons of rich milk per day,
for it will cost just as much to
keep a three quart cow as a
three gallon cow and she will be
practically worth less: keep
nothing but good servicable
work stock, better give a sorry
horse away than buy feed for
him, spend no money foolishly.
When in town, visit no places
to see how the world goes
round, neither exagerate nor
depreciate your true position
and our word for it, the next
year can still be lived through
without a sacrifice of honor.
Let no man think the cause
of the oppressed miners is not
the common cause of oppressed
labor. The plutocrats are not
foolish enough to begin the
work of killing American citi-
zens until they have a few such
precedents as the one just set.
If they can oyer run their la-
borers and call out the troops
to aid them in doing so and
get the applause of other labor-
ing people because these par-
ticular laborers are foreigners,
they have laid the foundation
for repeating the experiment
when a few of the laborers hap-
pened to be Americans. They
will cultivate the growing hat-
red between home and foreign
labor and in case of emergency
Uiey will call alternately for
troopB of nations or of foreign
era. Why the people do not
see the awful doom impending
is strange to us. There is but
a few years more of possible
time to reform. Revolution,
with all its bloody horrors, is
walking with no uncertain steps
toward us. There is yet a pos-
sible escape through the ballot
box. and there Is little likli-
hood of its being utilized. This
country is made up of so many
antagonistic elements that it
is easy for capital to play on
the discordant strings and de-
stroy the foundations of liberty

A postal savings bank sys-

of this country need to saye
what they make out side of

hard to maintain a bank of
savings if it cost anything to run
it. Nobody seems to have more
money than he has places to put
it and with the prosperity flood
coming in on the sloops there
would seem to be no urgent
demand for creating more gov-

There was a wedding up near Lit-
tle Flock, aunday evening. A ,\i r.
Moody, of Seaton and Mrs. Ellison,
were the contracting parties.
The young people had a singing at
the residence of Mr. O W. Jones,
Sunday evening and everybody
seemed to haye a nice time, but
there was more talking than sing-
ing. Miss Viola Mays did the play-
ing of the organ. By the way Mr.
Editor if you have some second hand
crepe up there I expect you can find
a market down here for it as one of
our mechanics down here has gone
left again.
Mr. D. N. Wade has finished his
handsome new dwelling and moved
into it.
Grandpa Green has been wrestling
with the dengue for several days.
Mr. W. T. West is very sick at
this writing.
W. H. Jones & Sons have com-
menced ginning but the cotton in
this neigborhood is very late on ac-
count of hail.
A goodly number of farmers are
going over in Falls county after corn
that the good people are giving
them.
I hear that Mr. John Buster is on
his way back from Jones county
where he had moved.
School will not commence here for
some time yet on account of late
cotton, the childs enemy so far as
an education is concerned.
Miss Kate Campbell, of Alabama,
who has been visiting her sister,
Mrs. Dr. Ayers, of this place, left
fast week for Waco.
The meeting at String Town closed
some two week 3 ago with good re
suits. Some twenty-five were ad-
ded to the church and some of them
up in years. I don’t know why it is,
Mr. Editor, but we “country jakes”
just beat you town folks having
good meetings. Tf you don’t think
so just come down.

ask how far it is to Temple afoot.

The fictitious has taken the

the popular ear.
THE UGLY DUCKLING.
Oscar Dots.
If you will be kind enough to al-
low me a little space in your valua
ble paper I will give you a few dots
from this famous city. We had a
fine rain here yesterday that lasted
all day and a part of the night.
Cotton picking and ginning is at a
standstill. The wind and the rain
damaged the cotton considerably,
but I think the rain has done good
enough .to over ballance the loss
that will be sustained.
Turnip sowing is in order now as
most everybody failed to get a stand
that has sown heretofore, but if you
will come down, Mr. Editor, we will
giye you all the B. E. peas and okra
you can take care of at one time.
W. F. Scarbough and family left
last week in company with Mr, M.
R. Jones and G. R. Bohanaii for
Blevins, Falls county, to pick cotton
but Mr. Jones soon decided that it
was not a Klondyke and returned

turn. So he and Geo. Hendricks

There is such a thing as the brutal
truth, and it is usually the ugly duck-
ling of a family who suffers from it.
I know a girl who was a very awkward
child; she was undersized, thin, deli-
cate-looking, supersensitive, but with
an intense love for beauty in any form,
says an exchange. An only daughter
and well loved, she has never been told
that she was less charming to look
upon than other girls. But one day
when she distinguished herself by re-
citing a long poem at a school exam-
ination, she heard her aunt say: “Well,
it is to be hoped she will be clever, for
she is ugly enough.” From that day
on that child was a pessimist who suf-
fered untold agonies. She imagined
Blights and dreamed of ill-treatment
which she believed were hurled at her
because she was ugly. She drew her
hair back from her face, braided it
simply, unconsciously giving it the best
treatment, for she saw no use in trying
to make herself look pretty. She took
long walks by herself and talked to
herself, sympathizing, poor little soul,
with herself, and gradually, from these
very solitary conversations, her voice
grew to be low and sweet, while the
walks in the open air made her health-
ier. When the proper time arrived her
mother, who had never dreamed of her
unhappiness, so well concealed, unplait-
ed the long braids and charged her
maid with the dressing of the hair of
mademoiselle. The years had gone
by, and she was about to make her de-
but. At this coming-out party there
was present the aunt who had hurt her
feelings so many years before. Now
this aunt looked at her and said: “Well,
really, you have grown to be passably
looking.” The debutante fled from the
room. Nothing would induce her to
come back. But as time went on
there came a lover who saw how deep
were the dark eyes, and told her so,
who listened to the soft voice and
praised it, and who eventually won this
little lady. lie never ceased praising
her, and she grew to be a happy wom-
an, and a happy woman is always a
beautiful woman. No Nemesis over-
took the aunt, but the rule in the house
of this happy woman,, her niece, is:
“Never tell a child of its imperfections;
make it conscious only of its charms,
and they will increase.” — Chicago

F»r« Protector* Not Wanted in Thnt
Village,
“Upon learning that your little city
•was devoid of tire protection,” said an
agent for a fire extinguisher to the
president of the village, "1 resolved to
visit you and the trustees with a view
of establishing a complete system to
protect your homes and business from
the ravages of lire.”
"You needn't say another "word,” re-
plied the chief executive, with a fierce
l°ok upon his countenance. "We have
had considerable experience in that
line ourselves, and we don’t intend to
let another of you silk-hatted city men
rope us in again. I’ll take the time and
pains for once and convince you that
the whole blamed system is a curse
to anything and everything. Come
around here with me. Do you see that
ruined barn, the ilame-cbarred house
and sheds and that black fence? Young
man, that is the work of your own ma-
chines, and you’d (better take my advice
and scatter out of this before tiie folks
find you out.”
“I know, my dear friend, but I’m not
selling such engines of destruction,” in-
sisted the surprised agent.
“Well, now, that’s all nice enough.
The last one of you fellows preached
the same thing. lie came here and got
us to build a whoppin’ big Are in the
alley. We soaked the boards and boxes
with oil just as he asked us to. We
touched the match and away she went.
‘Now turn on your Are business,’ said
I, and he began to flourish the brass
pail around. Then he twisted the han-
dle on the top. Borne kind of white
foaming liquid spurted out and covered
him. The fellow dropped on the ground
and commenced to yell. 'The machine
had bursted. Up he jumped and legged
it across lots—we never saw him again.
The fire caught the fence and spread
to the sheds, house and barn. Cleaned
Ujp a good $2,000 worth of property.
Beems to me we’ve had enough of fire
machines, so don’t waste your time
looking for trouble, because that’s all
you’ll find around here."
The agent, silent, plodded hia weary
way to the railroad station and took
the next train out.—Detroit Free Press.
How to Make Carry.
Purchase at a trustworthy drug-
gist's three ounces of coriander seed,
three ounces of the beet tumeric, one
ounce each of black pepper, mustard
and ginger, half an ounce of cardamon
seeds and one-quarter of an ounce of
cumin seeds. This recipe comes from
India, and dates back to the days of
that famous English gastronome, Dr.
Kitchener. It is still the rule most
often used to-day. Sometimes a quar-
ter of an ounce of cayenne pepper la
added to it. Pound the seeds to a pow-
der and add the other ingredients.
Mix them thoroughly, and keep them
in a bottle closely corked from the air.
