Editor Tom Mark is making a
cracker-jack farm journal of his
Jacksboro News. From his writings
me are compelled to believe that
he has pulled the bell cord over Old
Beck in years gone by, and that the
farm lost a good hand when he
went into the newspaper business.
He is doing a great work in Jack
county.—Decater Messenger.
The News wants to take off its
hat to the Wise county teacher’s in-
stitute, at least to the committee
who drew up the resolutions passed
by the institute at its last meeting.
After years of patient puffing of
the teachers individually and col-
lectively, publishing and printing
programs free of charge, advertis-
ing their meetings , etc., (all free
of charge) they haev finally recog-
nized the fact that there are news-
papers published in Wise county
and passed resolutions of thanks to

vors extended. “Verily the world
do move.”—Decater News
printers ink and hard work on this
shade tree proposition, and it does
look strange that a man would
want someone else to beautify his
home for him or build his sidewalk
clean up his premises, paint his
house, plant flowers or otherthings
of that kind, but such seems to be
the case with some people.
Last weeks article in the
about bagging and ties seemed to
create some confusion. The editor
presumed somewhat that the people
knew the facts in the case and then
commented on them. The docking
of cotton for tare is not a new thing
at all but has been practiced ever
since cotton has been produced in
this country. It is not docked here
as quite a number seem to under-
stand, though there was nothing in
the article to intimate such a thing.
The reduction is made at the final
place of sale and the rule is six per
cent of the weight of the hale
which for a 500 pound hale would
he 30 pounds. The weight is not
directly docked from the farmer,
but it comes out of him just the
same, because if it was not for this
docking a greater price could be
paid. We have no kick against the
docking, as the damage and waste
will occur and it is the practice in
all commerial transations where
there is breakage or loss there is
certain discounts allowed for so
called tare. The idea the News
was hitting at was that if the cot-
ton is docked 30 pounds for tare, let

In the Dallas News we see that
many farmers in parts of the state,
who rent land, contract from No-

of from January 1 to January 1.
The object of this is that the prep-

have no other opportunity but to

ant.
While getting up the premium
list of the corn show several mer-
chants asked if the premium list
would be published. The reason
this question was asked was that if
the list was not going to be pub-
lished they did not care to contri-
bute for the simple reason that
they would get no benefit out of it.
Here is the funny or pecular part
of it. There are at least half on
the list who have notsp/jnt one cent
with the Jacksboro papers this year
for advertising. The advertising
they get from the premiumt would

moving hives, making it a practical

tween the handles of the cart in such
a way that it may be easily removed
to and from the axle. The object of
this weight is to counterbalance the

There is not going to be a great
deal of money spent in the towns
This] year as there has nor been a
great deal made and different towns
are acting differently concerning
getting what little trade there is
going to be. Most of the towns
around Jacksboro are advertising
heavily and pushing their wares to
beat the band, while Jacksboro has
made no move whatever towards
securing trade. Only two merchants
here have announced the buying of
fall and winter goods, while the
people who live on the borders of
-Jacksboro’s trade territory receive
papers full of ads each week and
circulars every few days telling of
bargains and the people will go
there to trade. Jacksboro has been
very liberal in getting up the Car-
nival, but the carnival is like
2»uilding a fire for cooking a meal.

work done if there is any dinner.
So with the carnival. We have
built a good fire but we need some
advertising to go with it.
were not for the fact that it will
be published in the papers. But
it is published free. The papers
do not charge for publishing this
list of premiums, which if it is
worth to the merchants what they
pay, is worth over $300.

This must have added at least 500
to the population of our enterpris-
ing neighbor. During these three
years, the OIney and Newcastle
country have secured their railroad
and have had their noticeable de-
velopment and on this account the
bulk of the trade from the north-
ern part of Young county has been
transferred from Graham. It is an
object lesson showing what push
and progressiveness will do for a
town. Although the town has lost
one of is best resources and supports
in the north country trade, it has
reached out and brought to its sup-
port more than it lost. The News
is not well posted on local condit-
ions at Graham but it fees safe in
saying that one of the main rea-
sons fpr this growth and steady ad-
vance is the town’s ‘especial liber-

That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys
There is no question about that
at all—for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con-
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
It is only common sense, any way
—that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of derangement of the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude of well-known and un-
mistakable indications of a more or
less dangerous condition. Some of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness. nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, “nerves on edge,” sleep-
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment in the urine, inflammation of.
the bladder and passages, etc.
