It is reported that while Ed Col-
lier was in the Johnsville country
recently he actually caught Josh
English at work. 'What motive
Josh may have for performing
manual labor is beyond the ken of
ordinary mortals—unless he is get-
ting ready for his annual matri-
monial campaign of which he has
innumerable already to his credit.
J. D. Tallant and N. J. Jackson
of Sisk were in town Monday.
Speaking of crops they said that
plenty of feed stuff had been made
in their section, but that cotton is
sorry and unpromising. While a
good deal of corp has been made
it is quite smutty, and has a bad
effect on eyes while it is being
gathered.
Leonard Roberts and wife re-
turned Monday from Hutchinson
county in the north end of the
Panhandle. During their two
months' visit both gained in weight
and health. Mr. Roberts says
crops are splendid in that section.
Farmers grow lots of alfalfa along
Palo Duro creek, and all have
plenty of fat hogs.
Judge W. A. King of Spotted
Faun, who has been traveling for
the past six months in Arkansas,
Missouri, Kansas, New Mexico,
Arizona and California, is back
among us, and says he has seen
much, enjoyed his trip, improved
his health and that Erath county,
like “Old Time Religion,” is good
enough for him.
Mrs. Lee Young and son, Alden,
returned Tuesday from their sum-
mer visit to the lakes in Michigan.
Mrs. Young enjoyed the trip be-
cause she made many pleasant ac-
quaintances among people from
different states, and there were no
mosquitoes or other pests to make
life unpleasant.
For a short time Monday the
public square was congested, partly
owing to the fact that mule traders
were using it as a trading point.
The city ordinances forbid this,
and all officers should admonish
horse traders to do their bartering
on the block east of the square.

and sowed the seed in the dust
will soon have their fields carpeted
with the emerald-hued growth. It

method. Early breaking of wheat
and oat lands means good crops.

aloa, Mexico, where her husband

tion.

ience of the children.
Bill Wyley says only about one-
half of a corn crop has been made
in the Selden country. However
some individual crops are excep-
tionally fine.
As the schools have \ opened the
vacant houses are fast being occu-
pied. Some few farmers have
bought homes near enough town
to send their children to school.
John Beveridge was killed at
Thurber by coming in contact with
a wire used to convey motive
power. He was a brakesman on a
line used to convey coal.
Tax payers do not believe they
are getting the worth of their
money in these extra sessions of

A chicken ranch located near
Stephenville, and operated after
modern ideas, would pay hand-
somely. It should be predicated
on plans contemplating the supply-
ing of Fort Worth and Dallas not
only with broilers but eggs. Great
progress has been made in the
poultry business during the past
10 years, and such a business re-
quires intelligent management. A
man of brains and energy must
manage the details—at the selling
end as well as the propogatingend.
The broadmided, progressive, en-
ergetic, intelligent man—the man
who can look ahead a year, and
pro\ i le for contingencies—will not
only find a pleasant but a profitable
occupation, ^fe must be a man will-
ing to keep abreast of the times by
keeping posted. He must, be one
also who is willing to read the best
publications pertaining to his busi-
ness. ~ >
DEBATE AT MORGAN MILL.
Democrat Wins Over Socialist
Speaker
Huckabay, Sept. 7.—Editor
Tribune: At Morgan Mill on the
third and fifth a joint discussion
on socialism was held. (The social-
ists were represented by’their nomi-
nee for governor, Dr. Andrews,
who was at one time president of
Baylor University. The doctor is
One of the greatest advocates of
socialism -that the nation can boast
of, and the way he handled the
subject impressed all who heard
him of this fact. During the two
days he bent his powerful voice in
denunciation of our present sys-
tem, claiming that he had the rem-
edy. The democracy was repre-
sented by Rev. J. L. Davis, who
treated every phase of the subject
in a forceful manner, the ethical,
economical and political concep-
tions of socialism were denounced.
After Mr. Davis had finished,
all present were of the opinion
that the Doctor had put forth his
voice in fruitless exertions, and in
the ^pinion of the writ.r, another
such defeat and the socialist local
at Morgan Mill will be no more.

minded^ man ^rnust perform^ to

large crowd accompanied them.
School commenced at the academy

ment. * Mrs. J W Allison was at
Hannibal Monday. A larg;e crowd
from here attended the picnic at
Thurber Monday, but came in
early Tuesday morning on account
of the big rain. N R Pack and
Floyd Gentry left Tuesday for
Abilene on a prospecting trip.
Jim Gamble and family will move
to Thorp Springs this week. J W
Williams returned Friday from a
short visit to Southern Texa*. He

fine work. Walter and Street

families attended the Jones reunion
near Highland last week, and the
boys haven’t showed up since.
