with still another strong reason for cutting down on the cotton

tenantry is increasing much faster in the cotton growing states
than in any of the other states.
Tenantry is the curse of any country and if contiued for
long brings ruin and chaos. The report shows that the west
South-central states have made the greatest increase in ten-
antry with Texas standing near the top of the list. All these
states are in the cotton belt.

The soverign voters are to have an additional candidate
for governor. Mrs. Kate M. Johnson has announced her candi-'
dancy for the governor’s office, and in her opening address!
declares she is against prohibition and the Kn Klux K : n.
Mrs. Johnson may be an estimable woman, but she had
better forget about the governor’s race. The voters will ure-
ly forget her.

There are larger towns than Fnlfurrie - but there ‘just
aint’ any town that will compare with Fnlfurn r a place to 1
live, all things considered. Some times the streets aiv* noth-|

in mountain high ridges; some times wo all get lazy and lay j
lown on the job — we let nearby towns hustle the trade away ’
from us that rightfully belongs to us; many of us farm on Rice
street instead of out in the fields; our merchants extend credit!

has more big hearted- generous, clean minded men and v/nmen. j

you doubt this come here and we will prove to you that it is
so.
Sure! Crops are looking fine in the Falfurrias Country

this country, when the land is farmed right.

Holly Gee. Don’t the republicans of Texas love each j
other these days. Assuming they are all truthful men, and;
of course a republican couldn’t tell any thing but the truth, |
they ought all to be put in jail. However, that might just add j
to the burdens of Texas people as ‘Ma’ probably would par-1
don all of them out.

Sid Hardin of Mission is said to be a nice young fellow.
Its laudable in him to want to go to congress, but he ha* de-
monstrated his unfitness for the position in deciding to make
the race at this time against John Garner. That lad alone
shows that Mr. Hardin does not excercise good judgement and
ought not to be, and will not be intrusted with the duty of look-
ing after the interest of the fifteenth congressional at
Washington. Better gracefully withdraw from the race Mr.
Hardin.

the worthless cur dogs running the streets and fiftv c^nts on
each cat that makes the nights hideous with their meowing
and there’ll be money enough to advertise Falfurrias to th*
fartherest corners of the earth.
