Rev. D. R. Hardison is spend-
ing the week, or part of it, in the
country engaged in a revival

tian church Tunday. The bible
school will meet as usual, but the
other services of the day will be
suspended.
The Santa Fe has resumed the
sale of tickets to Galveston, and
while the cars do not enter the
city, boats are provided for those
who wish to go across to the
island, and the passage is safe.
The damage to the city will soon
be repaired and business will go
on as before until the next storm.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. W. Wright
and daughter, Miss Marguerite,
and Miss Matha Haby are at
home from Galveston, where they
were during the great storm of
Monday and Tuesday. While
they had some thrilling experi-
ences, Mr. Wright says the ladies
wero very nervous when fire
broke out near them but other-
wise they were hardly afraid, be-
lieving the storm would subside
which it did without material
damage to life. They were in a
safe place, and believed the
building would withstand the
storm. They came over to Texas
City by boat from Galveston,
thence to Houston thence home.
They are pleased to be at home
and do not at present desire to
visit Galveston or other points on
the coast.
Galveston Seawall Remains Unscathed.
Houston, Texas, August 19.—
From the most reliable and au-
thentic sources possible it was
learned that the Galveston sea-
wall safely weathered the storm.
It did not crack or break. The
fact that a large amount of pave-
ment was torn up and a large
amount of sand washed from be-
hind the seawall probably caused
the rumor that the wall itself had
been damaged. More than a
score of refugees told The News
correspondent that the wall was
intact.
Y/ith the causeway it was dif-
ferent, only the concrete arch
portion of the causeway remain-
ing, the approaches to the arches
being washed away. These ap-
proaches consist of sand inside of
concrete retaining walls, these
walls being broken and all of the
sand washed into the bay. This
damage to the causeway proba-
bly will delay the passage of
trains for several weeks.
We are local mechanics and
will build "your sidewalks or do
your other work well and at rea-
sonable prices. We are here to
make good any defect and will
be pleased to have your order.

Mrs. W. B. McGee has gone to
Temple, where she will spend a
day or two on business.
Wayne Bowen is at home from
Goliad, where he spent some days
with friends.
Miss Adele Horn, of Brown-
wood, is a guest of the Missef
Hooper and other friends here,
and will remain for some time.
In some communities and sec-
tions they have inaugurated
“Pay-Up Week,” which is work-
ing admirably for everybody and
the Occasion is likely to become
an annual event to be celebrated.
And why not? Only a small per
cent of the outstanding obliga-
tions of the people of a commu-
nity would have to be represent-
ed in ready cash in order that
all might pay their debts. It has
frequently been demonstrated
that one man payingjhis debt will
enable his creditor to pay, then
that oreditor pays others and on
the endless chain goes. Inaugu-
rate the “pay up week” some-
time during or after harvest time
in every community and urge
everybody to settle up their out-
standing obligations during the
week and a great^benefit will re-
sult.—Goldthwaite Eagle.
The shoe shop at Huntsville
penitentiary is to make footwear
for the inmates of the eleemosy-
nary- institutions of the State.
Formerly shoes were made only
for the inmates of the prisons.
This seems to be a move in the
right direction. The manufac-
ture of convict goods is always'
opposed when the product is put
in competition with the produot
of free labor, but an arrangement
of this kind is different. It
amounts to the same thing to the
people as taking something out
of one pocket and putting it in
another, except that heretofore
the custom has bean to take the
money out of one pocket and,put
it in the pocket of the shoe manu-
facturer who probably lives up
north.^Temple Telegram.
Way to Measure Cost of Living.
The Federal Bureau of Labor
Statistics has compiled a tall
array of figures to show that the
cost of living is steadily increas-
ing.
We have small respect for sta-
tistics as proof of anything.
Figures are the most phenomenal
liars of all liars, if properly han-
dled by an expert juggler.
The real measure of the com-
parative cost of living is not the
prices of articles in dollars and
cents. It is the amount of neces-
saries you can get in exchange
for your day’s work.
The workers of this country—
and we mean all men who do
useful labor with heads or hands
when we say workers—have to-
day better houses, better furni-
ture, better clothes, better food
and more leisure and more
amusements than workers have
ever had in any country or in
any time.
That means that they can ex-
change their day’s work for more
necessaries and luxuries than
they ever could.
And that means that the cost
of comfortable living is lower,
measured in work and not by
fluctuating money, than it ever
was.
These are bold assertions. But
they are true. And we could
produce an imposing pile of sta-
tistics to prove them if necessary
As a matter of actual, provable
fact, a good mechanic can live
today in the midst of such com-
forts, conveniences and enjoy-
ments as only the very few well-
to-do could command when our
grandfathers were boys.— San
Francisco Examiner.
Affinities.
Watch the country boys who
come to the city to seek their
fortunes. Some turn to the
Young Men’s Christian Associa-
tion for companionship and some
to the saloons. It is needless to
select the road to suocess; count-
less volumes have been written
on both sides of this subject.
If you are coarse in your tastes
and vicious in your tendencies,
you do not have to try very hard
to get with coarse, vicious peo-
ple ; the law of attraction causes
them to seek you. Those who
aspire to get on and up in the
world very quickly find those
who are trying to do the same,
and association with them is nat-
ural.
We make our own associations
and these form fully one-half of
our success or failure in life.—
Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The department of agriculture
has in its possession at Wash-
ington a pair of cotton gloves
and a pair of ootton socks into
the manufacture of which no
machinery has entered. The oot-
ton was grown from long staple
Columbia seed sent out by the
department a year ago to a farm-
er in South Carolina. When the
cotton began to open, about Oc-
tober 1, three pounds of it were
picked. The seeds were picked
from it by hand and knitted from
it a pair of socks and a pair of
gloves. Such instances as this
are encouraging evidence of the
fact that progressive farmers’
wives have not entirely lost the
useful handicraft of their moth*
ers’ time.—Holland News.
