The merchant who advertises
in his local paper reaches many
more people and at less cost than
he can possibly accomplish in
any other way. Suppose, for
A nibbler is a man who enters
a grocery store, runs his fingers

We further realize that in no

as by the generous assistance of
the press of Texas, who have at
heart the welfare of every sec-

tion of the subject, and that you
may more fully understand the
lines along which this committee
is now working, we enclose copies
of letters we are mailing to each
county judge, mayor, and presi-
dent of commercial clubs in Tex-

we are mailing to each member
of the incoming legislature,
j Thanking you in behalf of the
people of Texas, and of this com-
mittee for all consideration you
may give to this matter, I am,
^ Yours very truly,
Henry D. Lindsley,
Chairman.
Merchandise to Trade.
We want to trade some stocks
of goods, Dry Goods, Hardware,
Groceries, for Farm or Ranch
property. One General Merchan-
dise stock—a half interest for
trade—will invoice something like
$30,000.

President Roosevelt is 44 years
old. Fie is the youngest man
who ever held the office of presi-
dent. The next youngest presi-
dent was Grant, who was 47 when
inaugurated. Cleveland was . 48
and Pierce and Garfield were 49
when they entered the office.
The oldest president at the time
of his inanguration was William
Henry Harrison, who was 68; the
next oldest was Taylor, who was
^65. , When assuming the office of
chief executive Washing was 57,
John Adams 62, Jefferson 59, j!

The V estern Publisher ha3 on
the subject of advertising the fol-
lowing rhyming paragraph:
Will the merchant who is wise
ever cease to advertise? Yes—
when the trees grow upside down,
when the beggar wears a crown ;
when ice forms on the sun, when
sparrows weigh a ton; when gold
dollars are too cheap, when wom-
en secrets keep; when a fish for-
gets to swim, when satan sings a
hymn; when girls go back on
gum, when the small boy hates
the drum; when mince pies make
pleasant dreams; when it’s fun
to break a tooth, when all law-
yers tell the truth; when cold
water makes you drunk, when
you like to smell a skunk; when
a drummer has no brass, when
these things come to pass: then
the man that is wise will
neglect to advertise.

made up his mind to purchase a
quarter of a pound of tea he had

which the merchant realizes the
profit of five cents he haves the

that sometimes the nibbler does
not purchase the tea.—Ex.

Laredo, Tex., Dec. 6.—At the meet-
ing of the city council here today, May-
or Amador Sanches introduced a reso-
lution making the mayor’s office hon-
orary. Heretofore it has paid $1800 a
year. The resolution was adopted and
hereafter Laredo’s mayor will serve the
public gratis. Mayor Sanchez took the
step in order to retrench the expenses
of the city’s administration, not wish-
ing to impose additional burdens on
the taxpayers. This action on the part
of the mayor is without precedent so
far as known.

The Editor’s Wish.
“My poor friend you have but
a few minutes longer to live,”
said the kind old doctor at the
bedside of the editor of the Ru-
ral ville Bazoo. “Is there any
last request you wish to have
carried out after you are gone?”
“Tell the foreman,” said the
dying scribe feebly, “to do by us
as we have done by others and
give us as flattering an obituary
notice as his conscience will per-
mit him to. Request him, too,
to run it at the top of the edito-
rial column, next to pure read-
ing matter, and also call atten-
tion to it in a local paragraph,
j This is a luxury we have never
| felt able to afford ourselves until
I now, but we feel that under these
| circumstances it is a pardonable
j exhibition of vanity on our part
j a man never dies but once,
I you know. And by the way,1
kindly request the marble cutter
to carve on our tombstone, be- j
neath the customary statement j
of the facts in the case, the le- !
gend, ‘we are here to stav.’ ”— j
