school the 26th. will you he one.

Superintendant.
Supt. Whitehead reports ' good
progress on the Jaeksboro-Gertrude
road. The crew is now about 4
miles out. Drags have already been
secured and this road will be
thoroughly dragged after each rain
and kept in good condition. The
communities along this road have
the record for road enthusiasm
and road care. Some years ago,
they raised one-half of the money
to rebuild this road and have it in
good condition ever since. It has
always been the automobile road
out of Jacksboro to the West.
With its thorough rebuilding and
the care that will be taken of it,
there is no doubt but that this will
be the best road in the county.
When all other communities work
up the enthusiasm of the Pleasent
Hill, Dameron and Gertrude com-
munities on keeping up good roads,
Jack county will have the best dirt
roads in the state.
DEFECT IN SHORT STORIES
Surplus of Words and Painful Failura
to “Get Anywhere” Is Com-
plaint of Critic.
The average short story of today
is distinguished by the painful fact
that it never gets anywhere. There
are a lot of words—in fact, a surplus
of conversation, but at the end of it
all, after one has striven through
page after page the principal charac-
ters are found to be about where
they were before the writer took
them in hand. In these stories there
are generally a man and a woman
who are trying to come together, or
a man and a woman who are already
together and are inevitably getting Hn™llton
apart. The tale is made up of their raV6j
whims, impulses, attitude, hesita-
tions, reticences, confidences.
It never seems to occur to anybody
but the reader that a little action
would go a long way. The writer’s
utmost conoeession to movement
toward a definite end is to permit
somebody to walk across a room, go i K. A. Ham
* % _ . A A Bflnl I
to a window, or pick up a pink ver-
bena. That change of position nat-
urally alters the psychological rela-
tions of the principal characters and
starts them out anew. After a few
pages of this one feels like a man
standing in a tiresome position
waiting for a partide to start. But
the magazine short story parade,
alas! It never starts at all. It
stands for awhile until everybody
gets tired and then disbands. And,
what is the mSst astonishing thing
of all, it insists that there has been
a parade!—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

ient for them. Report any error,
if there be any.

Corn Shaw Assured.
Jacksboro, Texas, Feb. 14, 1911.
Tuesday a subscription was taken
around town for premiums for the
Boys Corn Club of Jack county and
the result was $70.50. Thera are
several parties yet to see it and is
thought that fully $109 can be rais-
ed for this purpose. This will be
the greatest amount the boys have
ever had and evrey boy in the club
should try to win one of the many
prize that are offered.
This $70.50 does not include the
$25.00 offered by Mr. Marks for the
greatest yield to the acre. Includ-
ing this it will make $95.50.
The following are the contribu-
tors. If others wish to contribute
phone the News, and it will be add-,
ed to the list. A full list of all
prizes will be published in the
local papers in a short time:
Realizing the importance of a
Corn Show for Jacksboro, we agree
to contribute the amount set op-
posite our names as premiums for
the boys in the Corn Clubs of Jack
county.

The San Souci Club met Feb.

her elegant home on Mill street.
The rooms were beautifully de-
corated with red hearts pierced by
white arrows.
Miss Sophia Sporer rendered sev-
eral selections of classical music
which was highly enjoyed by those
present. In the progressive games
which followed, high score was won
by Miss Sophia Sporer. The club
prize a pair of silk hose fell to
Miss Louise McClure and the guest
prize, a pair of silk hose was
awarded to Miss Mollie O’Sullivan.
The score and tally cards were
red hearts pierced by arrows. In
the dining room the scene was in-
deed brilliant. The warm red
tones blended beautifully with the
furnishings. Streams of red hearts
were draped from the chandlier
above to each place. The menu was
small red valentines decorated with
cupids. The advent of St Valen-
tine was carried out in the dainty
two course luncheon which was
nerved by the hostess.

lahan, Sophia Sporer, Ruth Hen-

able of the San Souci’s meetings.

“I Suffered Years
With My Back.”
Backache resulting from weak
kidneys, a bad cold or other cause,
usually renders the sufferer unfit
for work and often results in per-
manent disability.
“I suffered for years with my
back, or kidney trouble, and have
tried a number of remedies from,
different physicians. More than a.
year ago, one of our local <druggists-
induced me to try
Dr. Miles* Anti-Pain Pills
and after using them some three:
months I found a decided improve-
ment in my kidneys, and I am glad
to say that I hope soon to be fully-
restored to health.” J. P. Allen,.
Ex-Judge City Court, Glasgow, Ky.
As long as pain is present in any
part of the body rest is impossible
and the system becoming weakened
is exposed to any form of disease to>
which the sufferer may be inclined.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills •

centers, make refreshing sleep pos-
sible, thereby1 enabling the body to
recover lost strength. As a remedy
for pain of any description Dr.
Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are unsur-
passed.

antee assuring the return of the price-
