lie, made a flying trip over to Cole-
man Tuesday.
Quite a number were disappointed
Friday and Saturday on account of
the weather and late trains, yet they
are looking forward to having a
bouncing good time in Dallas and
Brownwood. Mr. Rockefeller said
mental pleasures never clog, unlike
those of the body, they are increased
by repetition, approved by reflection
and strengthened by real enjoyment.
If he earned his position in life by
adhering to these principals, we
might stumble upon some real for
tunes if we got more pleasure out
of life.

Quite a’ number of our people at-
tended the fair Saturday.

cotton for Tom Wheeler, left Satur-

iting her aunt, Mrs. F. A. Crump

We are glad to report that Miss

improving. The following named
young people, in company with Mr?.

Ballinger sanitarium Monday of this

A fine boy arrived at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Stevens last
week.

had business in our community this
week.
Yes, we got another fine rain last
week and Monday evening of this
week we received a regular tankfiller,
for which we should be very thank-
ful.
While at Sunday school Sunday
morning I noticed these words on the
blackboard: “Do not murmur or
complain but thank the Lord for the
glorious rain.” And I thought it a
pretty good motto, for so many of
us are like those people the old dar-
key told about in his sermon, “Their
time about all taken up in praying
for rain and grumbling about the wet
weather.”
Chronic Dyspepsia.
The following unsolicited testimo-
nial should certainly be sufficient to
give hope and courage to persons af-
flicted with chronic dyspepsia: “I
have been a chronic dyspeptic for
years, and of all the medicine I have
taken, Chamberlain’s Tablets have
done me more good than anything
else,” says W. G. Mattison, No. 7
Sherman St., Homellsville, N. Y.
For sale by all dealers.—Adv.
White Chapel and Central.
Well, the drouth is broken. We
will suggest that next year Coleman
have the carnival come to Coleman
in July and hold tlrt^Tair in August,
then the rains will be worth some-
thing to us.
Although rained out, we went visit-
ing just the same. Sunday found
Weslev Kalley and family at Cole-
man, Jack McDonald and family at
Moon Cates, G F. Goss and family at
Mr. Hefner’s, Muller Hill and family
at Mr. Wheelers, Heck Brooks and
family at Mr. McDonald’s Sunday
evening.

and Miss Pearl King attended sing-
ing at Mr. Craig’s Sunday night.

and Miss Hallman attended Sunday
school at the 0. K. Anderson school
house.
Mr. King is back home from his
prospecting trip and .repots every-
thing wet.
Bethel Powell has gone west look-
ing for work on a ranch.
First Monday will make a rep if it
keeps up its present gait.
The rain we got Tuesday evening
is the biggest we have had since we
was a boy and we are not a spring
chicken either. Mr. Jackson and fam-
ily were waterbound at Wesley Ke'.-
ley’s, Will Elkins and family at Mr.
McDonald’s. The branches and the
creeks were bank full and Grady
Thompson came near being drowned
when coining in home. It is proba-
ble the rain has injured cotton, but
let ’err rain, we will furnish the rope
to hang the first fellow who cries
“quit,” and then aak him home with
us to dinner. Volunteer eats are look-
ing fine and we hope to see the hill-
sides seeping water before it is ever,
then we can wort with the assur-
ance of good times ahead and busi-
ness looming up in the distance. The
wrinkles are now about out of our
face and if the rain continues, think
we can shave up Sunday.
X. B. Martin has traded the Jim
Brown place to a man from Tulia.
Heck Brooks intends to leave in the
near future for Floyd county. Isn’t
it strange how they change around.
We are sorry to lose Mr. Brooks but
wish him success.
Muller Hill was waterbound at Heck
Brooks Tuesday night
When your food does not digest
well and you feel “blue,” tired and
discouraged, you should use a little
Herbine at bedtime. It opens the

energy. Price 50c. Sold by Mahaf-
fey A Coulson.—Adv.

It is not our three-score-years-and-
ten which constitutes us honorable
citizens, but the way we have lived
them.
It is a splendid thing to hear a man
voice lofty sentiments, but one single
action is better than a hundred sen-
timents not made use of.
There is one secret a man really
tries to keep even from his closest
friend; that is, his poverty, whether
it be poverty of wealth or poverty
of brains.
It is a difficult thing for a man
to keep cool when he is roasted; it
is generally in the nature of things
that he should get hot.
One of the greatest trials we have
in this world is to be compelled, for
business or social reasons, to listen
to a man who thinks he can tell a
funny story, when, as a matter of
fact he has rff> more idea of humor
than a rabbit.
The Fates were against us in the
shape of rain, so we didn’t get to
cast in our mite to the fair and be
there to help make it a success, but
we learn from authentic sources that
it was a success without us.
The rain which fell very gently,
but almost incessantly from Tuesday
night -until Saturday morning, will
put Coleman county in better shape
for fall plowing and sowing grain
than for several years past.
Misses Ruby and Donnie Foreman
and Maggie Morrison, three happy,

chant, do a little advertising in a
good paper and watch results, it
doesn’t pay to be a cheap screw.

health speedily return. Price 25c per

WHOLE DAMM FAMILY
WORKING TO BEAT HELL
New York, Oct. 5.—Adam Damm
Sr., a wealthy man of Sacramento,
Cal., haTTcbme to New York to rescue
his family name from any blight cast
upon it by the competitive fame of
the newly risen Hell family of Penn
sylvania, which is now advancing
claims for superior public attention.
Forty-three years ago Adam Damm
followed his brother, August Damm,
to America, leaving behind him eight
sisters and brothers in Germany,
which is the home of the whole Damm
family.
Two months ago various news ser-
vices carried reports of the Hell fam-
ily in Pennsylvania. Immediately
Adam Damm Sr., called a family re-
union in Chicago, and with his Hell
clippings was there met by his nep-
hew, Philip Strauss, a hotel man, who
is very proud of his mother’s maiden
name, and others. Then the uncle and
nephews came to New York to see
Peter Damm and several other
Damms.
Now Peter Damm, Adam Damm Sr.
and Philip Strauss are going to Wa-
tertown, N. Y., to vivsit another
branch of the Damm family.
August Damm’s sons who lived
near New York have disappeared, but
the other Damms hope to find them.
Two Damm brothers also live in the
Central West.
Adam Damm Sr. is proud of the
fact that the Damm family is large
and hopes the other Damms will be
found so that he can show more liv-
ing members than the Hell family.
PAINT NOW
If your property needs it; don’t
wait.
There are two parts of a job: the
paint and the work; the work is more
than the paint; and it never comes-
down. ‘
The cost of paint is about two-
fifths; the work three-fifths.
Paint wont come-down in a hurry;
too-many jobs put-off.
Men are waiting for $2 or $3; they
don’t know it; they think they are
waiting for $20 or $25.
Why don’t men use their heads?
