I picked out this subject on ac-
count of it beiqg one that I knew
nothing about. I can write much
hotter on subjects that I am not fa
milliar with than I can those that
I know all about. I am also send-
ing you some pithy paragraphs
that I think are pure gems.
Bob there is but one request
that 1 have to make of you, and
I hope you will grant it, and that
is if your subscribers don’t like
my editorials please say nothing
about it, for l am so easily dis
cou raged. Had it not been fora
lot of adverse criticism directed
at my first attempt to write po
etry, I" might today have boon
known all over Texas for my
verse; but alas, the cruel shaft of
criticism pierced my young
breast and dried up the poetic
fountain. If may style of writ-

Grief to Burn.
Ther’s always some trouble to
fill us with woe; m winter the
weather is sloppy with snow; in
summer it’s hot and in spring
it’s wet, and the autum’s the
blamedest calamity yet; and so
remark as we push through the
crowd: “Oh, why should the
spirit of mortal be proud?”
When one’s back is all itchy
there’s no place to scratch;
when you have a cigar you can’t
find a match; when you’re hun-
gry there’s nothing to cat, and
when you’re not hungry there’s
grub to repeat. Vou buy a new
shirt and it fits like a shroud—
Oh why Why should the spirit of
Willie he proud? Oh, the sugar
j is sour and the vinegar’s sweety
you've boils on your bosom and
corns on your feet; and all that
you swallow is poisoned with
germs, described by doctors in
dog Latin terms. Vou simply
wont wilt 'neath your troubles
and fears, and splatter the earth
with a cloud-burst of tears! You
throw up your hats and laugh at

Editor Ransone of the Cle
hurne Enterprise inaugurated
the unique plan of having differ-
ent editors over the state edit his
paper for a day. Among the
number responding to the re-
quest was Col. Joe Sappington of
“Smiles” of Temple. Col. Sap-
pington also accompanied his
copy to the Enterprise with the
following personal letter, which
in itself contains much humor:
Temple, Tex., July 1H, 1910.
Dear Bob: Responding to your
request of a few days ago, am
mailing you this day under sepa-
rate cover a little editorial mat-
ter for the next-issue of the Dai-
ly Enterprise. I am not send-
ing very much stuff for the rea
son that a little of it goes a long
ways. A peculiar thing about
my editorials is that they last so
well and bring about such splen-
did results I wrote Bill Hodges
a two column editorial for his pa-
per—the Trumpet, in 1H94 that
lie is still getting results from.
The Trumpet was democratic to
thNcore and Bill got me to write
an article against the populist
party, that was then in the ze-
nith of its power. The ink had
not dried on that editorial before
it began to bring results. He and
his devil had nine separate and
distinct fights with members of
the populist party in less than
4H hours after my editorial ap
pered in cold type. Bill claim
ed that he pulled out enough pop-
ulist whiskers within twelve
months after it was published to
stuff a chair. His person still
shows the effect of the editorial
and is the direct cause of his hav-
ing but one ear as the missing
one was chewed off during one
of bis fights. He told me just a
few days ago that he was still
having results from that editorial
it might be that l would he able Itllc cmvvtl_ a,ul that’s why the

getting thru with the washing,
but washing clothes liyrts my
back and 1 am afriad that my
writing on that particular day
would show signs of spinal affec-
tion.
With best wishes for tho En
terprise, and asking you to com-
mand me when I can be of ser-
vice to you. Your friend,
Joe Sappington.

Bob, 1 only mention this inci-
dent in order to show you how
strong my editorials are and how
careful you sheuld be in using
them. After pondering over the'
matter I have decided to write
nothing that will arouse the an-
ger of your subscribers. Of*
course.if I knew how you stood!
on the leading issue of the day—;
the prohibition question, I woulc
write a strong editorial for tho,
Enterprise. I am in’ a positioi-
to write on either side of thir-
question as I have been on hot Is
sides of it off an on for the lase
ten years, and am astraddle od
the fence at the present writing?
I know how you stood o
prohibition at Marlin la9t yeak
while attending the Press Ass<K
ciation, but that was no place t^

H. O. Dahl of Norse was here
Wednesday enroute to Temple
where he will have his crip-
pled hand treated at the sanita-
rium. It has never entirely heal-
ed since it was so badly cut in
the gin last fall.
Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Schow and
two small children returned from
Oklahoma City last Saturday
w here they had been for treat-
ment of one of the children at
a sanatorium. The little fellow
is reported as improving slowly.
Monday night as Emmitt Ma-
haney was walking along the
side-walk his feet “flew” from
under him and in throwing out
his hands to check the fall his
right hand went through a show
window, lacerating his hand con-
siderably.

B. V ."‘William of route 2, Val-
ley Mills, was here Tuesday and
informed the Record that he had
sold bis farm near Cayote to Hen-
ry Kleimer of Falls county. He
remarked that he had had the
use of this farm a year and had
sold it at a profit of $1,000. He
wants to get a farm closer to
Clifton.
Dr. J. W. Oxford, house phy-
sician in the insane asylum at
San Antonio, came in Tuesday
evening on a visit to home folks
near Turnersville. He was ac-
companied by Hope Fall wood
who lias been in San Antonio
about a year for treatment, and
seems nearly well, but will re-
turn with the doctor.

here yesterday to see his old Clif-
