How’s This For a Rug?”
Fair question, awaiting a fair
answer. You need not buy “a
pig in a poke” in this establish-
ment—everything’s in plain sight,
even the price. We have the
goods in rugs and carpets, and
our prices are in line with the
material. See for yourself is the
best advice we can give you.
BLAIR FURNITURE CO.
Exchange Interviews.
It now appears that the negro
troops that created the disturb-
ance at Brownsville are not to
get off so easily after all. The
President has notified the three
companies that they must point
out the guilty parties or all of
them will be dishonorably dis-
charged from the service.—Kil-
leen Messenger.
That is the only wise and just
thing to do. The time has passed
when soldiers can presume on
their position and combine to
hide any kind of crime or mis-
demeanor. The affair at Browns-
ville was an outrage and unless
it is thoroughly investigated and
the guilty parties punished, it
will be a perpetual blot on the
good name of the United States
army.
Railroad Commissioner Storey
says:—“The Commission is
without authority to make special
passenger rates or to compel a
railway company to carry any
person free of charge or for less
than the regular rate.” It is not
necessary for Mr. Storey to make
this explanation to such an intel-
ligent people as we have in Tex-
as. The Commission has no
more right to ask the railroad to
make special rates than it has to
ask our merchants to cut the
price of their goods... The com-
mission was not created to regu-
late such matters,—Marble Falls
Messenger.
The Commission was created
to see that the people were not
imposed on by the railroads in
their freight charges. The regu-
lar mileage rate for passengers
has never been considered ex-
cessive or unjust. They demand
it. Railroads have some rights
as well as individuals and unless
the two radical members of the
commission modify their views a
little, and get more nearly in ac-
cord with the views of Mr. Storey,
the commission will have reach-
ed the end of its career of useful-
ness and become no longer a
necessity, but a nuisance.
Brother Dixon read “Uncle
Tom’s Cabin” and then sat down
and wrote “The Clansman” as a
kind of Roland for your Oliver.
The North might endure “The
Clansman” a while as a kind of
“atonement.”—DallasSNews.
There is nothing now necessary
to be taught by “The Clansman.”
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was one of
the causes of a great and bloody
war. We have no need of more
of that kind of literature. The
dark days of Reconstruction are
days that all Southerners would
fain forget. The only value
“The Clansman” has, is in teach-
ing the people of the North some
truth about the negro problem
and their misguided handling of
it, and this is something which
true history will teach.
The Denton News mildly sug-
gests that a vagrant is not al-
ways covered by a ragged coat.
One of the worst varieties is the
well dressed loafer who draws
his clothes from a hard working
father and mother and stands
upon the street corner to disgust
decent people at his action to-
ward young ladies who are forced
to pass him on the street. All
such nuisiances ought to be
speedily removed from the pub-
lic thoroughfares.
The boy who stands on the cor-
ners smoking cigarettes will never
be the lad that a merchant will
chase two blocks to ask if he
wants a job. Such kind of young
men are not wanted by men of
business affairs.—San Angelo
Standard.
There is very little sentiment
in business. If the kind of boy
described above suited his pur-
poses better than any other kind
and could attend to business bet-
ter, the merchant would find use
for him. But outside of the fact
that this kind of a boy is objec-
tionable for this habit, he is phy-
sically and often, we are sorry to
say, morally unfit for a position
of responsibility.
“It pays to advertise”—if it
is done judiciously and intelli-
gently. The Dallas fair is a case
in point. The management tried
advertising with an exhibit car
two or more years ago and left
the newspapers out. For two
years the best papers have been
used to advertise the fair and all
expectations have been realized.
The attendance runs from 50,000
to 100,000 daily, as many as at-
tended the Pan-American ex-
position at Buffalo. Texas is
building up a great exposition
and Dallas is reaping a great
harvest.—Sherman Democrat.
The- Dallas Fair was never so
near a failure as when it depend-
ed on its advertising car to draw
its crowds. It has never been so
great a success as now, when it
let the newspapers of the state to
draw its crowds for it. This is as
applicable to all lines of business
as it is to fairs. Circular adver-
tising, letters, posters, j signs,
premiums, all the other devices
combined for attracting trade are
not equal to the judicious, con-
stant and up-to-date newspaper
advertising.
A freight blockade in North
Texas on the account of grain and
one in the southeast on account of
cotton. Verily this is a prosper-
ous country when the farmers
are making more stuff than the
railroads can move.—Gatesville
Star-Forum.
It simply means that Texas will
have to increase her railroad
facilities. The crops will in-
crease every . year as more new
country is opened to cultivation
and farming methods are scienti-
fically improved.
Joe J, Smith of Halletsville,
Texas, has just accepted a posi-
tion as ginner for Mrs. Barnes.
Mr. Smith is a man of 25 years
experience and is thoroughly ac-
quainted with every phase of the
business and will do the work in
the best ^possible manner. Mrs.
Barnes invites the patronage of
the cotton raisers of this section
and guarantees them perfect sat-
isfaction. dl9 w51
The immense cotton crop has
exhausted the supply of freight
car3 and the fleecy staple is piling
up at the depots all over Texas.
There is a ruling by the railroad
commissioners that cotton shall
be compressed at the first station
where a compress is in operation,
and this ruling has tended to
make the blockade of- cotton
greater than it otherwise would
have been. The commissioners
have temporarialy abolished their
ruling, amd now cotton may be
transported to any point where
it can be put into a compress,
and it is hoped that there will be
a more lively movement by the
fact that if cars can not be un-
loaded at one point they can pass
on to another where the com-
pressing machinery is not so
busy.
Charles W. Morse, of New
York, has bought the Mallory
Steamship interests, and will
have charge in the future.

People
Lose
Their
Money:
By concealing it about their per-
son ; by stowing it away in mugs,
jugs and jars; by sewing it up in
skirts and ticks; by tucking it
under the couches and carpets, in
cupboards and bureau drawers;
these are some of the ways by
which people lose their money,
and sometimes their lives.
