The sidewalks of Yoakum are
not as attractive as they might
be.
The secret of a cheerful life
lies in making the best of things
and putting fret and worry be-
hind you.
SCHOOLS OPEN UP.

THIS
palace: dilug store.
ESTABLISHED 1898
The longer the nights the
shorter the days, and many a
man shortens his days by length-
ening his nights.
Temperance education of the
people of whatever sort, depends
foi success on the spirit of devo-
tion of the teachers.
From Tuesdays Daily.

city opened up Monday with an
attendance quite gratifying to

teachers were made:
EAST SIDE.
First Grade—Mrs. N. W.
Mitchell and Miss Minnie Gordon.
Second Grade—Miss Norman
Everson, Miss Nora McMaster.
Third Grade—Miss Maggie
North and Miss Tinnie Lieck.

Second and Third Grades—
Freshness In Drugs
Is as Important as Quality.
IndeeJ, the whole question of qualify depends on the freshness of any
Drug, Chemical or even Sundry articles about a drug store. On that
point no drug store in Yoakum can equal the claim of the PALACE
DRUG STORE in that every article in the whole business, nothing ex-
cepted, of superior quality.
In Drugs and Medicines
it means that you get everything in its most active state. Potent, reli-
able s.nd dependable in performing its action when taken into the sys-
tem and no medicine should be taken that cannot do this.
In Drug Sundries
it means that you get Rubber Goods, Sponges, Toilet Articles, Brushes,
Combs and Fancy Goods, that have not lain on shelves and in cases and
are oi t of date and deteriorated but you get the very latest styles and
dependable stock.
These Are Things You Should Not Forget.

most burdensome tax on Yoakum peo-
ple is the credit habit Every mar, in

It is tie same thing in Deni-
son. Mon who have permanent
work at good wages, never pre-
tend to pay for what they get in
dry goods stores, cloth’ng houses
and groceries. It is always
charge it until pay day. It seems
to be a fad to buy on credit, and
yet such improvident individuals
ought to know they pay dearly
for the accommodation. The
jf man who pays cash for his pur-
I f chases sives money by it, possi-
S; bly more than 10 per cent in the
jj i long run. Besides this, it is so
