At the Big Tent.
Do You Knock?
If your neighbor is prosperous
let him prosper. Don’t grunt,
growl or grumble. Say a good
word for him and let it go at that.
Don’t be a knocker. Your turn
will copae. No man is the whole
show. If you see the town is
moving nicely, feel good about it.
Help things along. Shove a
little. Push. Try and get some
of the benefit yourself. Don’t
stand around like a chilly old
cadaver. Don’t waste your time
feeling sore because some fellow
has a little more sand and sense
than you have. Do a little hust-
ling yourself. Don’t be a knock-
er.
If you can say a good word,
say it like a prince. If you are
full of bile and disposed to say
something mean, keep your
mouth shut. Don’t be a knocker.
No man ever made a dollar by
knocking. No man ever got
rich or happy minding every-
body’s business but his own.
No man ever assisted himself by
knocking his neighbors down.
Give up a kind word. Give it
liberally. It won’t cost you a
cent, and you may want one
yourself some .day. You may
have a thousand today and next
year be without the price of a
shave. So don’t be a knocker.
You can’t afford it. ^It won’t pay.
There is nothing in it. If you
want to throw something on
somebody, throw cologne. Or
roses. Don’t throw brick bats.
Or mud. Don’t be a knocker.

Eunice Martin, a little grand-
daughter of Mrs. Berry who lives
in the McCreaville neighborhood
some ten miles west of here, was
sent out to the lot at the family
home Wednesday evening to do
some chores. Night came on
and she did not return. The
neighbors were aroused and
search was made in every place
where it was possible she had
gone, but to no avail.
The entire night was thus
spent and many of the men, wo-
men and boys of the neighbor-
hood joined in the search for the
missing child. Part of the crowd
engaged in the quest finally dis-
covered the child at 11 o’clock
Thursday morning in one of the
tenant houses on the farm of
Hosea Bailey, and she was at
once restored to her grandmoth-
er. There was great rejoicing
when it was known that the little
girl had been recovered and that
nothing serious had befallen her.
The section through which she
must have passed is reported to -
'be frequented by many wolves,
and it,is remarkable that she es-
caped.

vs. J. S.
Smith, suit on note and for fore-
closure of vendor’s lien; judg-
ment for plaintiff.
The city marshal has had a
thousand notices printed calling
attention to the condition of the
sidewalks and alleyways in the
city, and you way expect to re-
ceive one of these through the
mails, or have it delivered in
person. This is not intended as
a matter of form, but is in ac-
cordance with the requirements
of Ordinance 151, which makes
it a fine of $10.00 for any one to
have weeds, brush, or other ob-
structions upon their sidewalks,
or obstructions of any character
in the alleyways. Better clean
up your premises or the next
thing will be a visit from the
marshal in person, and a notice
to appear before the recorder and
pay a fine. Then you will still
be compelled to clean up. Take
action now.

who reside north of town spent

who has shown himself at this

tinue to prosper.
0. R. Wheeler, whose home is
out on Lucy creek, made the
Leader a pleasant call while in
town, having The Leader and
the Granbury News renewed for
the current year. Mr. Wheeler
came to this section from Hood
county and is well pleased with
his new home, though he likes to
hear from former neighbors and
friends, hence he continues to
take the old home paper.

home in this section for many
years, is about leaving for Ben-
jamin, Knox county, where he

return would be heartily wel-
comed.

work, having charge of the
Methodist church at Killeen, the

very acceptable one, as hejalways
does everywhere.
