beginning to think not as pro-'shown every curtesy; given the Hardin, school man and itin-
vincial cross road merchants, best of goods and made prices | erate speaker, residing at Mis-
Gentry l)ugat, the able edi-
tor of Edinburg Review, does
not think much of his fellow
county man as a sucessor to
John Garner. In a recent edi-
torial Mr. Dugat says:
“A lyceum speaker seeks the
flooi in congYess. But he does
it in opposition to the Demo-
cratic leader in the lower
house. In other words, Sid
sion, has announced for emig-
re s from the fifteenth district.
This seat is now held with dis-
tinction by the Hon. John N.
Garner of Uvalde.
There is no doubt that Mr.
Hardin has qualifications—of
a kind. He would make Mr.
Garner a good secretary, at
hast in so far as the meeting
and greeting of constituents
from “back home” are con-
cerned. A splendid fellow,
Hardin would yet have to re-
fer to his chief on matters of
real statecraft, for Garner is
a tried and true veteran and
Hardin is a novice in state-
craft. True, the Mission man
' has for ten years won the ap-
proval of the members of his
school board for the very good
reason that he is a good school
man.

Teaching the fair youth of

man from the cold summits of ;
Oregon to the sunny glades
