FINE RAIN VISITS
STONEWALL COUNTY.
Came at a Time When Badly
Needed. Crops Now
Assured.
On Wednesday night fine rains
visited our county, insuring crops
of all kinds and gladdening the
hearts of the farmers. Corn had
begun to suffer to some extent
and no doubt the crop is cut a
little short on account of the
recent hot dry days, but there
k will yet be lots of corn made.
Cotton had never suffered for
want of rain, but it will now get
up and grow as never before.
Feed crops are assured and
watermelons are smiling on the
vine. Hurrah! for Stonewall, the
banner county of northwest
Texas.
To The Voters
Owing to the fact that I am
very busy with my tax rolls it
will be impossible for me to get
out and see all of you, and I take
this method of asking your sup-
port in my race for re-election
and assure you that same will be
appreciated. If you see proper
to again honor me with the office
I shall endeavor to serve you in a
satisfactory manner. Thanking
you in advance for the support
which I hope to received, I am
Yours to serve,
H. H. Hill.
Ice Cream Supper.
The yourlg people, also some
who were not so young, were
treated to a most enjoyable time
Monday evening at the home of
Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Wilcox.
Besides other social amusements
there was a memory contest
which was something new and
novel. All the young people
were requested to march around
a table on which were some
twenty odd articles and then
write the names of all they
cbuld remember. Miss Ella
Springer won the prize which
was a nice box of candy. After
the contest cake and ice cream
were served and that Devil's
cake was the best it has been our
pleasure to eat. Mrs. Clements,
of Waco, assisted Mrs. Wilcox as
hostess. Everyone had a very
pleasant time and are under ob-
ligations to Dr. and Mrs. Wilcox.
Now that definite action has
been taken looking to the fencing
of our cemetery, all interested
parties are earnestly solicited to
make a liberal contribution, so
that a creditable fence may be
erected. It will be impossible
for the committee to see every-
body. Friends in the country
are earnestly asked to leave their
contribution at the bank'.
A. T. Ford, Chairman.
Bass' Liniment is Best recojn-
mended by farmers and stockmen
who have used it. 50c bottle.
CHAPTER OF ORDER
OF EASTERN STAR
Organized at Aspermont with
a Good Membership
Last Week.
Mrs. Fannie V¿ Ward, As-
sociate Grand Matron O. E. S.,
of Big Springs, arrived Monday
evening and remained in our city
until Thursday, during which
time she organized Stonewall
Chapter, Order of Eastern Star.
This order is for the wives,
daughters, mothers, widows and
sisters of Masons and while it is
no part of Ancient Free Masonry,
it grants to the above the privi-
lege to become co-laborers with
the great Brotherhood ofMasonry
in the service of humanity.
The following jfficers were
elected: Mrs. Nellie McCamant,
Worthy Matron; Will Marr,,
Worthy Patron; Mrs. Lula Sed-
berry, Associate Matron; Miss
Jessie Stanley, Conductress; Mrs.
Nell Herring, Associate Conduct-
ress. The time of meeting is at
1:30 p. m., Saturday on or before
the full moon in each month.
Mrs. Ward is thoroughly versed
in her work and accomplished
much during her short stay.
She has a wonderful tact to im-
part knowledge and we bespeak
success to Stonewall Chapter as a
result of a proper beginning.
Teachers Employed
The school board met last week
and employed teachers for the
coming term as follows:
S. W. Adams of Overton, Rusk
county, principal.
Miss Clara Grace of Johnson
City, Blanco county, intermed-
iate department.
Miss Margaret Bannowsky of
Elgin, Bastrop county, intermed-
iate department.
Miss Maggie Ford of Asper-
mont, primary department.
Since the selections- were
made, however, a letter from
Miss Grace states that she has
accepted another position and
another selection will be made to
fill the vacancv.
A NOBLE WORK AT
THE CITY CEME1
A Number of the Citi
"Got Busy" and Did
A Needed Work
For Twenty Years.
Other chill remedies have
sprung up, flourished for a brief
season, then passed away—even
from memory—but for twenty-
long years Cheatham's Chill
Tonic has been in the field of
action. The reason is simple.
It has merit. It actually cures
chills and fevers while the major-
ity of others merely promise to.
One bottle guaranteed to cure
any one case.
Kodof will without doubt help
anyone who has stomach dis-
orders or stomach trouble. Take
Kodol today and continue it for
the short time that is necessary
to give you complete relief.
Kodol is'sold by Will Marr.
A large crowd of our citizenfe
congregated at the cemetery
early Tuesday morning and pi
ceeded toNdo the work so
needed. The way they rm
trash fly and stumps disappí
was convincing that at last
have awakened to a sense of their
duty toward our beloved
and now that the good work h<
once begun we may expect to see
one of the prettiest and mú6t
well kept cemeteries in "West /
Texas. The good ' ladies with
their peculiar adeptness had pre-
pared luncheon which wasserved
on the ground and it was worth a§|
whole days work to get to par- .
take of the dainty viands spread
before the hungry crowd. Ow-
ing to a pressure of work in
office we did not have the
of attending, but we are always
present with the necessary advice
in such matters and that is our
long suit any way.
Cascasweet, the well knowñ
remedy for babies and children, ¿ *

ed on the bottle. Contains no
