On New, Up-to-date Suits for Spring
That’s what folks are saying who are buying
Suits from us and have “looked around.” Well
its not so strong after all, when you think about
the hundreds of items we carry, on which we
make a small profit, consequently our Clothing
Department only carries the regular proportion
of expense. You see the point. Don’t be afraid.
You will not be lonesome. Some of the best
dressed men in town are wearing our Suits.

Sherman, Tex., April 16.—The
heirs of the late John T. Price
who, together with seven mem-
bers of his household/was burned
to death in his residence two
miles east of Gunteir last Satur-
day morning, were in Sherman
today for the purpose of adminis-
tering on the estate left by Mr.
Price. Arrangements were made
with Judge G. P. IVebb, ex-coun-
ty judge of Gra^fon county, and
Hon. Ben. F. Gafford, to look af-
ter the > matter. It is stated that
an amicable settlement has been
agreed upon, and the only thing
the oourt will have to do with the
9
estate will bs to see that it is ad-
ministered legally according to
the agreement.
Those here today were Ed Phil-
lips, son-in-law; Claud Bowers,
step-son; C. C. Hornsby, step-
son-in-law, and Mardie Ewing,
son-in-law. There are four oth-
er children, but those mentioned,
it is stated, have power of attor-
ney to act for all.
Accompanying the parties
mentioned were N, M. Elmore,
the neighbor who discovered that
the Price house was burned, and
Bob Prioe, brother of the dead
man. In an interview both gen-
tlemen expressed the opinion that
the burning of the home of John
T. Prioe, himself and his family,
was the result of accident.
Mr. Prioe stated that at first both
he and his brother, William Price,
thought it was murder, but after
looking over the premises they
are now of the opinion that it was
the result of an accident.
Dr, Barns of Gunter was here
this afternoon, and went before
the grand jury with the blood
stained clothes which- he has in
his possession. He expressed
the opinion that a foul deed had
been committed, He also brought
in a large butcher knife, which it
is said was found in the room oc-
cupied by Mr, Price. On the
blade of this knife is something
that looks like blood. The mat-
ter is being investigated by the
grand jury.
New Prices on Puffs
Now that the newspaper man
is obliged to pay cash for trans-
portation, and all commodities, a
western editor has come to the
conclusion that those desiring
“puffs” in his paper must pay
for them, and has established
the following schedule of prices:
For telling the public a man is a
successful citizen, when every
body knows he is as lazy as a
government mule, $2.70; referring
to a deceased citizen as one who
is mourned by the entire com-
munity, when all know he is
only ‘missed by a poker circle,
$10.13; referring to some galvan-
ting female as an estimable lady
whom it is a pleasure to meet,
when every business man in
town would rather see the devil
coming, $9.10; calling an ordi-
nary pulpit pounder an eminent
divine, 60 cents; sending a
doughty sinner to heaven, $5.00;
speaking of a dried up old maid
as a winsome beauty, 13 oents,
or two times for a quarter; for
saying a woman.-who can sit in
the parlor and liok the skillet in
the kitchen at the same time is a
charming hostess, 6 cents, with
no disoount on future orders.
_ Earthquake Shock in New York
Albany, N. Y., April 15.—1The
strongest and longest earthquake
shook reoorded on the seismo-
graph at the state museum here
since the instrument was installed
began at 1:14 a. m. today and
continued more than two hours.
The record is more pronounced
e
than that made by the San Fran-
oisco earthquake last year. The
maximum vibration was so severe
as to swing the pendulum clear
off the revolving oylinder.

dies Causes Comment.
The attempt by Texas to check
the sale of liquor by express
companies was referred to re-
cently in these columns. The
drink traffic is now being regu-
lated with exceptional vigor in
widely scattered States. Ten-
nessee, West Virginia, Illinois,
Kentuoky and Indiana Legisla-
tures have been making new and
energetic onslaughts. Bonfort’s
“Wine and Spirit Gazette,” see
ing this increasing momentum of
anti-saloon feeling, declares
frankly: “If there is one thing
that seems settled beyond ques-
tion it is that the retail liquor
trade of this country must either
mend its ways materially or be
prohibited in all places save the
business or tenderloin precincts
of our larger cities. If the Anti-
saloon League can maintain its
present organization it looks as
if it will oertainly destroy the
legalized saloon in all the South-
ern States, excepting perhaps
in Missouri, and it is certainly
making strong headway in In-
diana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and other Western and
Northern States.” Definite study
of the relation of saloons to order
and to government is about to do
more for regulation and temper-
anoe than could ever be done by
a prohibition party relying only
on abstract moral doctrines. The
saloon as the centre and inspira-
tion of bad politics, bad govern-
ment, disorder, poverty and sin
has now been scheduled for ex-
termination not by fanatics and
theorists alone, but by gractioal
and dear-headed workers along
lines of publio welfare, who will
hardly oease before that evil in-
stitution, as it is known today,
shall have been laid to rest.—

Hon. Morris Sheppard on Navigation
Paris, Tex., April 14.—Con-
gressman Morris Sheppard, who
has been spending a few days in
Paris en route to Omaha, Neb.,
delivered an address Friday night
at the meeting of the Board of
Trade, in which he reviewed the
work he had done in Congress for
this district. He stated that the
government snagboat for upper
Red River, now building at Jef-
fersonville, will be put in com-
mission at I Fulton in a few
months, and with the latest ap-
propriation from Congress a half
scoie more ot quarter-boats will,
be built and operated between
Fulton and Denison to further
clear the river of drifts and snags.
Growing, Gathering and Marketing
Peanuts.
From The Dallas News.
I promised to write the News
giving my plan of raising pear
nuts, as several have written me
regarding peanut raising. First,
be as particular in planting your
peanuts in clean land as you
would your corn “or oats. Plant
this year about April 15 or 20,
not later than May 10, in drills
three feet apart and from twelve
to fifteen inches in drill; then
break your land like you would
for corn; lay off shallow furrows;
cover with small plow about two
inches deep, to prevent crows
from getting them. Cultivate
with small plows and hoe enough
to keep clean till time to lay by,
about the middle or latter part ot
June. Then plant one or twa
drills of whippoorwill or Clay
peas in each middle. This will
keep your peanut vines fro^: fall-
ing on the ground. Then by the
time your peanut hay begins to
ripen vour pea vines will be full
of peas and some of them begin
to ripen; then uiuw. Let cure,
rake and bale and you will have
hay worth feeding, with no grit
in it. When you take your pea-
nuts and hay up together you
will get more or less grit in the
hay, which makes it unfit for a
horse to eat. %
After getting off your hay,
take an eight-inch rhovel plow
GET WISE ME
Perhaps there are better shoes right in
this town for $3.50, $4.00 or $5.00 that
we are selling at these prices, but we
don’t believe it.
Have you looked around?
Have you been here? Springs shoes are ripe
here now, high or low cut.
We are sure that our swell shoes will capture
most any fancy that comes along. Don’t think we’ve
missed a thing that’s good in selection of Spring Shoes.
We are sure we have the best men’s shoes iif
town, Sir. We know it! Get wise! Get wise!
I P\Y/K THE SHOE MAH

and plow them up; then take
your fork and bunch them. Let
lay till cured, then haul out and
store in barn.
By this method you will only
get about sixty bushels of pea-
nuts per acre, but will be easier
handled in any way you wish to
handle them and take up less
room in the barn. Besides, yon
have about three tons of hay per
acre that is worth more to your
stock than any other hay you can
get. It has so many peas in it
that it makes a fine feed. If you
wish to raise them for hogs, just
plant one row of peas between
each row of peanuts when you
lay by; then after they all get
ripe, both peas and peanuts, turn
your hogs in. You will be so
surprise4 that you will never try
to fatten another hog on corn.
Always plant the Spanish pea-
nuts. Do not plow them up
when the ground is wet, if you
want them for market, as the
dirt will stick to them and you
will have them to wash before
they will go on the market.
To prepare for planting, put
them id a barrel, filling it with-
in about four or six inches of the
top; then put on some weights;
then fill the barrel full of water
to the top, or put the peanuts in
sacks and pitch in pool. You
will have to weight them down
under the water. Let soak two
days and nights, then drop one
pod every twelve or fiften inches
in drill and follow the above. It
is useless to hull your peanuts to
plant them. Besides, the moles
and birds will get more of them
when they are hulled. I hope I
will be able later on to tell you
how to thrash your peanuts.
And whatever you do, do not
take up your hay and peanuts to-
gether. If you do, do not feed
it to your horses, for it is too
gritty and has too much sand
and dirt in it.
Th^y mav eat it, but it will
ruin their teeth and do them no
good. Be good to your horse;
feed him clean feed and treat him
as one of the family, for he is
your dependence.-!-F. M. Gook-
sey, Elm, Kaufman county, Tex.

Don’t be too hard on the old boy now,
’Twould not In you be brave;
By word or deed he cannot reply,
He’s resting in his grave.
When he was up and alive you know
You wouldn’t have done or said
Just what you’re doing or saying now
Since he is still and dead.
He had his faults, he committed sine,
But none can sinless be.
For his great wrongs there were
others, too,
To blame as.well as he.
Let him that’s dead have m you a
friend,
A friend both good and true,
’Twould God-like be, and enough is
that;
Your God is thus to-you.
I would rejoice if I could but know
That, dead, some friend of mine
Would say of me “let his faults be hid
And let his virtues shine.”.
Don’t be too hard on the old boy now.
Mar not his lowly bed;
The eagles prey on the living things, j
The vultures on the dead.
