THAT OLD HOME PAPER.
“A good citizen has gone from
m,” says the Old Home Paper
this week, in a news item record-
i [ he passing of an old resident.
"He had his peculiarities, as we
ill have, but we will miss him.
The Old Home Paper extends its
mpathies to the bereaved fami-
ly.”
It is one of the duties of the
Old Home Paper to speak kindly
of those who “pass over,” Jin the
little old town. To record the
birth of the children,the marriage
of the sons and daughters and to
print the “obituaries” of the
fathers and mothers,is the history
of the old home town that is kept
nowhere else except in the files of
t he Old Home Paper
As a matter of fact, this “good
citizen,” who has “gone from us,*’
as related by the Old Home Paper
was not a good citizen at all. The
peculiarities” it is forced to re-
cord in an apologetic sort of way,
included a habit the departed one
bad of getting drunk and creating
a riot in the “bereaved family.”
His oldest daughter is a school
reacher and another daughter is*b
clerk in a local store, and they
have supported this “good citi-
zen” since they were old enough
to work, denying themselves the
pleasure that other young folks in
l ie town enjoy, to keep the fami-
S v in groceries and garments. <
The deceased was quarrelsome,
hateful and “fussy” when he was
nder the influence of liquor, and
i hat was his condition almost
every day for the past fifteen or
twenty years. He never voted
right at the polls, never was on
the right side of any political or
civic question, never did anything
to develop the little old town and
a good part of his time was spent
i i abusing the editor of the Old
Home Paper.
But'there is the “human inter-
est” feature of running the paper
in the old home town. A selfish
man, a contentious man, or one
who has “nursed his feelings”
never could make a success of edit-
ing the Old Home Paper. Too
many citizens of the old home
town would go down to their
graves “unbonored and unsung.”
The Old Home Paper would net
be itself at all, if it did not dismiss
the passing with a blessing, wel-
come the latest arrival with the
declaration that it is a “bouncing
beautiful baby,” and crown every
marriage with the indorsement
that the groom is “one of jour
most industrious and promising
young citizens,’’ and the bride
"one of our most popular and ac-
complished young women.”
It is this touch of kindliness
that gives the Old Home Paper
its leadership in the community.
Nobody ever thinks of taking its
advice on any subject in the world
politically, civically, socially or
religiously But they read so many
kmdly things in the Old Home
Paper about the living and the
dead—well, they get accustomed
to repeating them, and that gives
the little old home town the
ehar/n that makes life worth liv-
ing in it.—Kansas City bear.
ladies for it. Pearsall is like Co-
tulla and most other small towns
in that it is a hard matter to get
officers who will give the 'city af-
fairs the attention they should
have, because there is little or no
salary attached to the offices, and
men are mighty scarce - who will
seek the office, and scarcer who
are capable of guiding affairs up a
progressive highway. At Pearsall
the Ladies Civic League has nom-
inated a ticket from mayor down
to marshal. The ladies knew the
progressive men of the town and
went to them personally and. se-
cured their consent to place them
in nomination, and it is safe to say
the ticket named by the ladies will
be unanimously supported. t
The election of city officials will
take place in April, and as yet
there are no candidates for any of
the offices The ladies of Cotulla
have always been at the head of
every progressive move, and it
would be^t splendid move to fol-
low the good example set by the
ladies of Pearsall and suggest a
ticket that will stand for progress.
Politics should be eliminated in
the selection of city officials; petty
business jealousy should be buried
and personal differences forgotten.
Men who will work for a better
town and wift consent to put their
shoulder to the • wheel should be
elected
To the ladies who mere man
looks to, to inaugurate - almost
(all in Cotulla) every progressive
move, what sayest thou? Do you
measure up to the Pearsall ladies!
Are you equal to the occasion!—
