H. C. ODLE CO.
We want to thank the good
people for their liberal patron-
age for 1904.
We have sold near $200,000
worth of land during the year
past.
To begin the New Year we
want to list all of the salable
farms and ranches and promise
good honest work and think we
are in a position to do better
than the past.

Stores Burglarized at Walnut
1 Springs.
Midnight thieves entered three
business houses in Walnut
Springs on Tuesday night before
Christmas. It seems that the
first entrance was into R. U
Spencer 4 Co.’s lu nbor office,
where they procured a hand axe,
a chisel and a pistol J A A.
Tidwell’s store was entered and
about $50.00 of goods were taken,
consisting of $20 worm ot silk,
$15 worth of ribbon, $3 box of
ties and a suit case worth $3.50.
Cofiley’s grocery store was re-
lieved of 2.50 and a small amount
of goods'.
Wilks A Morris were also lasers
about $35, four or five dollars of
which was cash, the balance be-
ing in silks and ties. Thi9 seems
to have been the last place visit-
ed, as the burglars left their
tools here.
Dogs were sent for, but at last
accounts no arrests had been
made.
Boys throw that cigarette
away. It will ruin your health,
affect and injure you in the bus-
iness world. It is faot that but

smokers ever suooeed in school or

An Irish “Bull -
The pastor of one of the lar
gest Methodist churches in A1
legheny was for a number of
years pastor of a missioner
church in Calcutta. India. I
vvas ip this church, he says, that
one of the most ludicrous inci-
dents in his experience occured.
The pastor had invited to
preach for him a young Irish
clergyman from Michigan, who
afterward became editor of the
Indian Witness. In the course
of his sermon, the young Irish
man described a visit he had
paid to the grave of John Bun-
yan, while en route through Eng-
land for the Orient. He launched
eloquently into the description,
the congregation hanging eag-
erly on his works:
‘*As I stood before that tomb.”
he exclaimed, “what feelings
welled up within my breast. I
felt that I could appreciate the
emotions of Moses as he stood be-
fore the burning bush. As 1
gazed on that plot of ground
that held all that was mortal of
the immortal auther of the “Pil-
grim’s Progress, ” I seemed to
hear a voice within me say:
‘ ‘ ‘The place whereon thou
standest is holy ground! Tako

It is a faot that notone single in-
veterate cigarette smoker has
[graduated from Yale College in
fifteen years. In a reepnt issue
of this paper a prominent busi-
ness man, one whom we all honor
and admire, of Gatesvillo adver-
ciation of this rich Irish bull,
nearly put an end to the solemn
services.
“I was a long time in Calcut-
ta,” said the clergyman who
tells the story, “before our

dicates an indifference to the dur
nos of citizenship which the peo-
ple of Houston should never ex-
hibit. Poll taxes are'lovied pri-
nariiy for the purpose of raising
revenues which are requBite to
the maintenance of State, mun-
icipal and county governments.
The cause of popular education
is to some extent involved in the
payment of the tax.
Hundreds and thousands of
citizens have no other way in
which to participate in the ex-
pense of maintaining tho various
branches of the government.
They enjoy the privileges of ths
public school system and the pro-
tection of the State just as much
as the heaviest taxpayers, but
contribute nothing unless they
pay their poll taxes. To Ths
Post it seems that every citizen
is in honor bound to pay his poll
tax, whether he votes or not, but
there can be no doubt that every
citizen should comply with this
requirement and qualify himself
to vote.
It is becoming sa of late that
scarcely a third of the males uf
voting age participate m the ele-
ctions. This ' condition will, ff
long continued, bring a train qf
abuses of fret and perplex thp
people. We do not want in Tex-
as any small select class of pol-
iticians or people tb control ths
vast interests of the common*-
wealth. Wo must have at all
hazards a government of ths
people, by the people and for ths
people. The surest guaranty of
such a government is. for every
citizen to jealously guard his
right to vote and to exercise it
whenever occasion demands.
The poll tax is not an onerous
burden and should not be so re-
garded. But, h . h a flee Is ths
