WHERE QUALITY IS HIGHfR THAR PR/Cf
Shakespeare Club.
The Shakespeare club held an
open meeting on November 24th,
with Mrs. Anna Johnson, host-
ess.
In addition to the olub mem-
bers, quite a number of invited
friends added much to the pleas-
ure of the afternoon.
Mrs. Johnson, assisted by Miss
Jessie, welcomed the guests with
characteristic hospitality.
The game for the occasion bore
the attractive name of “Turkey”
—a pleasant reminder that
thanksgiving day was near at
hand.
The soore cards represented
miniature pumpkins, and were
also suggestive of the season.
At the close of fourteen mer-
ry games, our hostess gave us
proof of her skill in the culinary
department-
The evening closed with music,
jests and laughter and many
happy remembrances of a happy
Thanksgiving eve.
Rep orter.
Confirmation.
At the Catholic ohuroh on
Sunday November 28th Rt. Rev.
E. J, Dunne, D. D., of Dallas,
Texas, administered the
sacrament of confirmation to a
large clase of-children and sev-
eral grown persons. The good
Bishop spoke beautifully to the
children and pointed out to them
the means they must adopt in or-
der to remain string and faith-
ful children of God. The churoh
was filled to its seating capacity.
Personal Liberty,
Bryan’s Commoner.
The liquor dealers, recogniz- ]
ing that their very obvious pe- ,
cuniary interest would lessen the
weight of any argument which
they might publioly advanoe,
are making their fight under
cover of organizations purport-
ing to represent those who use
liquor. Many well-meaning men
have been misled into believing
that every attempt to lessen the
evils of intemperance is a “fan-
atioal attack” on “personal lib-
erty.”
It is time the phrase “personal
liberty” were defined.
What is meant by “personal
liberty?”
Does it mean that a person has
a right to drink in any quanty
at any time, and in any place,
no matter what injury he may
inflict upon others? If not, with
whom rests the right to fix limi-
tations?
A drunken man is a menace to
the lives and property of those
about him; have his neighbors
no right to protect themselves?
A drunkard robs his wife and
children, and he may finally
make his family and himself a
oharge upon society; has society
no right to protect itself?
The saloon is next-of-kin to
the brothel and the gambling
hall; it is a rendezvous for the
criminal element and the willing
tool of the corruptpolitician; has
not the body politic a right to
protect itself from the demoral-
ization which the saloon works?
The right to drink does not
necessarily include the right to
demand the establishment of a
saloon. The right to drink is
sufficiently protected by any ar-
rangement that permits the rea-
sonable use of liquor under rea-
sonable oonditions; and it must
be remembered that the right to
drink, like any other right, can
be forfeited. Nothing is more
saored than the right to life, and
yet one may forfeit his right to
life if he uses it in suoh a way as
to threaten the life of another.
So the man who drinks to exoess
may forfeit the right to drink;
even the moderate drinker may
forfeit the right to drink
in moderation if, not content
with reasonable regulation, he
insists that liqour shall be sold
under conditions that constitute
a menace to the home and state.
The man who desires to drink
moderately ought to join with
those who seek to reduce the
evils of drink to the lowest pos-
sible point, instead allying him-
self with those who ignore the
evils of intemperance and resist
every effort put forth for the
protection of seciety.

Uncle Cob Turner Dead.
Uncle Cobb Turner who has
been afflicted for some time died
last Sunday morning about ten
o’clock at the Turner Cottage
and was buried Sunday after-
noon at 4 o’clock in Fairview
cemetery, surrounded by many
friends.
He was born in Cumberland
county, Kentucky, April 9, 1830,
and was therefore 79 years of
age at the time of his death. He
had traveled over the oountry a
great deal, going to California
in early life.
Several years ago he suffered
a mental breakdown and has
been considered somewhat ec-
centric since.—Gainesville Sig-
nal.
Mr Turner lived for many years
here at Pilot Point and is known
by all the older citizens.
Denton county is up to the
front when it comes to clubs.
Denton has a Bear Hunters’ club
but its members have to leave
the confines of the county to
have any show for game. A
party will leave Denton to-mor-
row for Old Mexico on a two
weeks’ hunt in the mountains.
Trouble is said to be brewing
in Cuba and the politrial atmos-
phere is more oloudy now than
since the downfall of the Palma
adminstration. A country that
has been stirred by insurrections
as Cuba has for the last hund-
red years oan not be expeoted to
make their government machin-
ery run smoothly with the begin-
ing of self government. It may
take some years yet to secure
stability in the island.
Clifford Phillips Bpent last
Thursday and Friday with his
brother John Phillips in Fort
Worth.
Mrs. J. F. McKnight and chil-
dren spent thanksgiving with

Friday for Roswell, New Mexi-
co, for Mr. Weeks’ health.

and Mrs. T. C. Price, left yester-
day for her home at Bryson,

dence of Mrs. Sallie Peel re-
