Tuesday. August 8, 1916
The vote on the question of whether
or not the railroad men will strike has
been counted, and the result shows
the men are overwhelmingly In favor
of striking. They will today resubmit
their demands to the roads, which
that eight hours be recognised as
working day and that they receive
time and a half for over time, and
this Is not granted they will walk oat.
Two hundred and twenty-flTe roads
and 400,000 men are Involved.
Cotton Is about the only thing that
can staud a six weeks’ drouth without
being considerably damaged, but six
weeks of sunshine did not hurt the
plant In North Texas, but made the
boll weevil hunt a cooler climate and
the rain of Saturday Is making the
cotton stalks put on blooms and bolls
and soon the fleecy staple will he roll

The old settlers are here, ami it is
up to Sherman people to see that they
have a good time. And Sherman peo-
ple will see to that very thing, too.
Sherman merchants are prepared to
take care of all the trade of the Sher-
X
a trade territory, and can offer the
and also well selected stocks
select from.
Greenville received her first bale of
centra yesterday. The North Texas
cotton crop Is now on the way, and
soon money will be in circulation in
bunches, for the forthcoming cotton
crop Is going to hrjug a good price.
Governor Bob Williams of Oklahoma
Will open tlie Red River Valley Fair in
Sherman, Oct. 4. This Is a fitting com-
piimeut the governor pays the insti-
tution, for the counties bordering on
Red River, both In Texas and Okla-
homa, will be represented at the fair.
Sherman has a fine bunch of men
Mr a school board, and they are snrely
pntting Sherman’s pnbllc school Inter-
ests on a sound footing. When the
present plans of the board are carried
rat bo city In the South will be better
equipped than Sherman In the matter
of public schools.
• Kansas will possibly send a woman
to congress. Dr. Eva Harding of
Topeka, a suffragist leader, has won
the democratic nomination for con-
gress in the first district She is said
to be a very brilliant woman and the
statement la made that she can be
elected.
It will soon be time for Slienaan
schools and oolleges to open. Have you,
Mr. Oitlaen, done anything to bring a
student to Sherman for the coming
term? If you have not you should
get busy. Every man and women in
Sherman should help to advertise
Sherman's splendid educational ad-
vantages.
A lady said lo a Democrat repre-
sentative: “I noticed what a wot
said about paying the grocery bill with
her poultry products, and it was good.
I can tell yon another ‘chicken story
Six years ago we were renter farmers,
and planted an all cotton crop. To-
day we have forty acres half paid for,
and have met every note when it came

forts of the rural home, with plenty
of fruit, garden stuff, and live close
to church and school. We started
with poultry, added hogs, then milk
cows. We haven’t bought a nickel’s
worth on a credit for five years an.l
have enough money In the bank to pay
for anything we may have to have the
next twelve months. However, as we

1b real money we probably won’t have
to touch this ‘nest egg.’ ” Thus the
Democrat's oft repeated suggestion
that the cow, the hog and the hen are
mortgage lifters and home builders
comes true again.
DEMOCRAT COMEBACKS.
Sherman ought to have a broom fac-
tory and Sherman housewives should
1* sweeping with Sherman made
brooms. —Shermaii Demoerat.
That all sounds very good, but did
yon know that Collinsville has a broom
factory which puts out first elass
brooms, but Collinsville housewives,
moat of them are sweeping with
brooms made elsewhere. Not because
they dislike the brooms made at home
but simply because folks like to use
tilings that are “fotcli-on-’ and espec-
ially if they can get it from a mall
order house.—Collinsville Times.
OBJECTION MET.
A colored preacher was discoursing
on the theme, “Salvation Is free.’* At
the close of the sermon he announced
that a collection would be taken. A man
jumped up In the rear of the church
and said: “If salvation am free,
what's de use of a collection ?’’
I’ll explain, brudder,” Raid the
mlulster. “Dere am a ribber down
here and date water am free; all you
has to do am to kneel down and drink;
drink without money and without
price. But my brudder. If dat water
am pli»ed to your house you has to
pay. I’m pipin’ the gosped to you.
Pass the hut, deacon.”—The Continent.

CHEERING SOMEONE ON.
Don’t you mind about the triumphs.
Don't you worry after fame;
lHsi’4 you grieve about succeeding.
Let the future guard yoqr name.
All the best In life’s the simplest.
Love will last when h alth is gone • |
Just be glad that you are living,
And keep cheering someone on.
Stop! Look! Listen!
1s t your nelgbliors have the blossoms.
Let your comrades wear the crown;
Never mind the little setbacks

If you Just forget your trouble#

There’s a lot of sorrow round you.
Lot# of lonesomeness and tears;
Lots of heartache and worry
Through the shadows of the years.
And the world needs more than trl
umphs;
More than all the swords we've |
drawn.
It Is hungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering others on.
Let (lie wind around you whistle.
And the storms around you play;
You'll Ih* here with brawn and gristle |
When thp conqueror* decay.
You’ll be here In memories sweetened I
in the souls you've saved from pawn |
1# you put aside the victories
And keep cheering someone on.

REGULATOR.
you get that wonderful flavor in
Sovereign Cigarettes?
A better blend of your favorite Southern-
grown, Old Belt tobaccos than was ever put into
a cigarette. Rolled in the best cigarette
paper in the world.
Many grades of paper are used in the manu-
facture of cigarettes. The lower the grade the
nearer it comes to ordinary paper, and you
know how that smells when burning — how it
smoulders, goes out, and leaves a lot of black,
charred, soot-like ash*
Light a piece of Sovereign paper and note
how it burns—quickly,—perfectly,—odorless,
—leaving only a trace of pure white ash—which
reduces to nothing at your touch! Proof
of its Purity!
Po-Do-Lax is a liquid laxative—
mild and effective. It arouses the
liver, Increases the bile, does not
gripe and acts as a general tonic to
the whole system. Aids nature to
clear and purify the blood—as a lax-
ative tonic for summer Po-Do-Lax
lias no equal. What was “good enough
for my father Is good enough for me"
never applied with more force than
the use of Po-Do-Lax for tfie liver. An
old time tried remedy. Get a bottle,
take a dose tonight and see how much
better you feel. At all druggists, d&w
