You fully intend to build a
-concrete sidewalk along your
front, don’t you? Well, be a
public benefactor by doing it
now while the men need the work
to bridge over the dull season.
The Farmers Congress now in
session at College Station is a
splendid success. Six hundred
farmers are there and they are
addressed by the leading experi-
menters from all over the coun-
try. Every phase of agriculture
engaging their attention and the
result must be beneficial. We
hope to get a bulletin of their
work for our readers.
pg^y ‘‘We have piped unto you and
1y -you have not danced,” or words
to that effect. It is certainly
; clear to you that we can have no
y concrete sidewalks till we make
them; and it is also clear that we
have the men to do the work and
that ih< y need the wages: also
-that the man who begins the good
work,will be famous and a bene-
f factor indeed. Why not now?

M Wtit now. turns out that Mr.
Heney of San Francisco, the
great graft prosecutor, has been
drawing $23,G0t) per year from
1
the United States treasury.
During that time he hss per-
„ formed no services. He made a
national reputation as a prose-
cutor of grafters and dirty poli-
ticians, bribe-takers, etc., and it
merer turns out that he is simply
a gentlemenly grafter under cov-
er of law.
School will soon open in Cum-
by. It will be two or three
^ months of course yet, but that
will pass quickly. But what we are
driving at is—When will the
school board have the school-
house^doors hung to open out-
/ ward? That is a serious question
and one that concerns us all.
L Many are very anxious to see it
done before school opens. The
1 Jives of opr children depend on
it. Do it now.
Spain is having serious trouble
I at home and abroad. Mobs and
riots are assuming the force and
; importance of a revolution. At
the same time the foreign de-
v partment has a serious war on
hands in Africa with the Moors
and bandits. Fighting there has
;> been severe and the loss of men
on both sides heavy. Martial
law has been declared at home
and the government is putting
V forth a mighty effort to suppress
h the revolt.
m.
It is but natural that most of
| our people should'favor a tariff
I on iron ore, for most of us have
i,' iron ore to sell and want a good
m£, price for it; and we want a tariff
II on] hides for the same reason.
Likewise a tsriff on lumber will
help 4s to get a better price for
our lumber. All of us have im-
mense amounts of each article to
sell and should be protected.
The few people that buy lumber
and iron and leather are not
worth considering in this case. -
Judge V. W. Grubbs, founder
of the College of Industrial Arts
at Denton and of the Grubbs
Self-Help & Industrial College
at Campbell Was inCumby Mon-
day in the interest of his school
at Campbell and gave the Rustler
office a call. Referring to the
report that he would probably be
a candidate for State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction he
said: “A little over two years
ago there'was a political machine
organized at Austin calling its-
self the Conference of Educat-
ion in Texas whose arrogance has
become intolerable. Its hench-
men have been working the Sum-
mer Normals and other teachers
organizations practically ever
since its existence began in the
interest of its candidate for State
Supeiintendent who is one of its
principal officials, while pretend-
ing to be doing a patriotic ser-
vice in behalf of the rural schools
while the overworked and under-
worked country school teachers
have been putting up the neces-
sary campaign spondulix. I have
declared war against the concern
and propose to fight them to a
grave-yard finish.”
Stone in Wrong Place.
4‘For several years, I suffered
from Kidney and Bladder trou-
ble,” writes D. A. Rickets, “was
confined to my bed most of the
ime, had a good physician but
he could only relieve me. I fre
quently passed stone from blad-
der. After using a bottle of
Smith's Kidney Remedy, I feel
like a new man. I can recom-
mend it as the best medicine
made.” 50c. and $1. Guaran-
teed by Berry Bros. Druggists.
If you have pains in the back,
weak back: or any ether indica-
tion of weakened or disordered
condition of the kidneys or blad-
der, you should get DeWitt’s
Kidney and Bladder Pills right
away when you expenenc-3 the
least sign of kidney or bladder
complaint’s, but be sure that you
get DeWitt’s Kidney and Blad-
ber Pills. We know what they
will do for you, and if you will
send your name to E. C. DeWitt
&. Co., Chicago, and you will
receive a free trial box of these
kidney and bladder pills. They

B. Rippy and I will kindly ask
all who owe me to come and pay
me your account. I mean you if
you owe me.
Allen L. Blount.
Brady Texas, July 25, 1909.
Editor Rustler and old friends:
—After a long silence I will write
a few lines to old friends and
neighbors through the Rustler.
We, too, have had a very pe-
culiar year in this country but
don’t know' of any place in our
county that has been so scarce of
stock water as portians of Hop-
kins have reported at times. Our
rains have been local and some
places have suffered much worse
than others, while all • will make
some feed and prospects bid
fair for some cotten but nothing
to compare with last year. My
crop will make plenty of fee
stuff to run another year an
possibly more cotton than w/e
can pick.
I have plenty of last year’s
grain crop to fatten my meat and
quite a good deal of other fysed
left. We had a fine rain on the
22nd, which fell most of the
time for twenty-four hours and
filled the ground thoroughly full
and w as general over a large sec-
tion of country, and hope you
have had plenty of rain too
We will have plenty of black-
eyed peas and watermelons soon
and have roasting ears today for
dinner. We expect to sell some-
thing besids cotton out here.
We have sold since Jan. 1908
$430.95 worth of produce from
our cows and hens and hope to
exceed $500 in the two years.
We milk four cows and have kept
from 25 to 50 hens. My cotton
crop for last year totalled $1347-
65, but if I can make one third
of that amount this year we can
get along fine.
Our town has done a good deal
of improving this year, both m
residences and public enterprises.
We have had several good bus-
iness houses and an ice factory to
go up and have two large oil mills
and also two large gins under
construction. Our county has
grown in population to where a
county superintendant, under
the law, becoms necessary to su-
pervise for the schools which
seem to have pretty good interest
manifested in most all sections of
the county. I hope my old school
community in which I taught so
long, will manifest a good school
interest as they have been so for-
tunate to secure the serveces of a
veryr able teacher and especially'
so in mathematics. Health in
our’ country, so far as I am in-
formed is very good. If this
does not fall too the waste bas-
ket I w ill write again at some op-
portune time.
Respectfully'.
W. G. Joyce.
The best pills made are De-
Witt’s Little Early Risers, the
famous little liver pills They
are small, gentle, pleasant, easy
to take and act promptly. They
are sold by the Cumby Drug Co.
Speak to your friends about the
beautiful serial story now ruu
ning in The Rustler.
Sees Mother Grow Young
“It would be hard to overstate,
the wonderful change in my
mother since she began to use
Electric Bitters,” wiites Mrs. W
L. Gilpatrick of Danforth, Me.
“Although past 70 she seems
really to be grow ing young again.
She suffered untold misery from
dyspepsia for 20 years. At last
she could neither eat, drink nor
sleep. Doctors gave her up and
all remedies failed till Electric
Betters worked such wonders for
r health.” They invigorate afl
itai organs, cure liver and kid-
ey troubles, induce sleep, impart
'strength and appetite. Only 50c
at Berrv Bros.
\\\
ho Mildly Natural.
Is the effect of Morgan’s Cas-
cara Compound that Constipa-
tion passes before it. Most laxa-
tives leave a scalding, burning
sense of pain, a condition wholly
avoided when our compound is
used. The process of healing
begins immediately and the action
of the bowels are .easy and com-
fortable at the same time. It
puts energy into a lazy liver. It
is a gentle but reliable energizer
and w ill make the liver do its
work thoroughly and well.
