That president of the Cook county
board will be raized, he will be cari-
catured and he will be censured, se-
verely. That will not remove the
troth of his argument. The Jails, new
and improved, will be the monuments
t» guze upon. A new jail is being
completed or probably has already
bean completed in Houston, and the
chief of the crime officers has inti-
mated that crime is going on a ram-
page in that city and in Texas soon,
the prospects look good, the weasels
or squirrels, as the crooks are called,
are issuing their mandates, and woe
to those who do not get the drop on
them. The man of means, in his
home, with every other comfort at
his command, is contsnted to have
hia bottle handy, enjoy his cigar and
look out of the window. He is violat-
ing the law, but, like the writer, is
not feeling a pang of pain as the re-
sult of a conscience emite. The only
difference between that man and this
writer is, that man has the article,
and we have to dream about it.

The usual inquisitive subscriber,
who has a home in every community
where a paper is published, has
asked: “What makes a car go?” Gee

space between the "c” and the “g” it
wouldn’t have been so hard to an-

mentioning what kind either.

Here we have it again, the Smiths
of course. Three babies were born
to three Smith families at a hospital
up north. In some way they have
been mixed-up and there is a row on.
One of the mothers 'wants to know
whether her baby was a boy or girl,
and mothers from over the Nation
are excited about it. Seems to us
that they ought to tell the difference
between a girl baby and a boy baby.

Sale of the electric light plant at
New Braunfels has been set aside by
the presiding judge. Rather a light
proposition, when you come to think
eon, assisting his father in the work
of secretary of the Texas Press As-
sociation, a young man of twenty-
three years, -loved by every member
of the Association, died last Tuesday,
September 13, died after having made
a brave fight against the malady that
had preyed upon his body for sev-
eral years.
Death, ever stalking, every present
ready to strike, leans too frequently
to the shining lights of youth; ad-
monished to believe that the good die
young, we are prone*to believe also
that it could be otherwise. Carson
Harbin had one great and ennobling
trait of character, he was an embodi-
ment of that class of young men who
won the friendship and love of every-
one with whom he came in Contact.
Tears over his departure will be
ahed, they have been shed, but Car-
son will sleep on. In those homes
where the icy hand touched the brow
of a son or daughter, the apprecia-
tion of the parents’ loss in Carson’s
departure is easily manifested; to of-
fer the sympathy, real and genuine,
am is the case with us this morning,
we only help to bridge that awful
cahsm of sorrow, we cannot restore
the smile to the departed, neither
can we bring him back to his happy
home.
We are going to miss this young
man, annually we saw him at the
secretary’s desk, ntaintaining an
energy, most remarkable, smiling in
the face of the inevitable, considerate
and willing to do for others.

MR. JOE SANDERA
We are indeed sorry to chronicle
the death of Mr. Joe Sandora which
occurred at his home, three miles
west of~ town Wednesday morning at
about eight o’clock. He appeared to
be in good health and was hauling
corn while the members of the fam-
ily were at work in the field. Upon
arriving at his heme with the team
he went into the house and shortly
thereafter a shot was heard and
when the children rushed up, he was
dead. ♦
No cause was ascertained to his
act except that something in hie
mind gave way to have caused this
rash act.
Mr. Sandera was one of our sub-
stantial and respected farmers and
had lota of very close friends, even
here in the city where he had been
in business tor a number of years
prior to his moving to his farm.
Funeral will be held from the fam-
ily home today, Thursday, and in-
terment will be made in the city ce-
metery at 3:80 p. m.
Mr. Sandera was 66 years old and
leavea a number of children and oth-
er relatives.—Flatonia Argus.

THAT A. & M. EXHIBIT AT THE
OCTOBER FAIR
We have repeatedly called atten-
tion to the fact that the Agricultural
and Mechanical College will send a
live stock exhibit to the Fourth An-
nual Fair to be held at the Fair
Grounds near LaGrange next month,
and have now the assurance that this
exhibit is going to be here. A letter
received by the secretary, W. S. Rob-
son, embodies the following:
“We have decided to include the
Fair at LaGrange in our trip, and
will be there October 12, 13, 14 and

position will be held at Austin on
Tuesday, October 4, and continue
through Saturday, October 8. Every
governor in the United States and in
Mexico has been invited to attend,
some of whom have accepted.

representative of each of the dairy

desirable types of Rambouillet and
Hampshire breeds, and twelve gilts
representing types of various breeds
of hogs.
* “We are planning ion having some
additional man from the Department
visit the Fair on each day in order to
talk with any of the men who are
particularly interested in live stock,
and put on any kind of demonstra-
tion you would like. We are very
anxious that the exhibit be made as
useful as possible.”
The farmer and stock raiser will
be 'given a good opportunity here to
study thoroughbred stock; these ex-
hibits by the Agricultural College
will not be used in competition with
any the farmers of the county may
see fit to exhibit, they will be brought

on the Exposition grounds during the
five days’ Fair. The directors of the
State Exposition are working to the
end that they will have something en-
tirely different from the usual Fairs,
placing foreign exhibits, something
rot generally offered at the average
Fairs, but will include many of the
Fair attractions usually offered by
the County Fairs.

Exposition in another part of the
