ur Own Knitting.
Life is too short and profits altogether too
small for us to attempt to attend to other
people' business and our own too.
Hence we have always kept everlastingly
at it. attending strictly to our own knitting
and it has brought us success.

The crops are turning out about

Some are doing even worse. A
great many of the largest and moat
aurceai-ful farmers in this vicinity
reporta crop* to o* far shorter
than the i r l*st year's crop. The
aggregate, however, will be about
the same owing to the increaa* in
acreage.

FROM HIX.
There is but little nswa to re-
port this week. Hix ia no sum
m«r resort, (that is, for people
rompos mentis), it is no refuge for
the loquacioua confirmed commer-
csl emissary; it is no suitable
I laoe for great conventions or big
strikea. It ia simply the home of
a quiet, unassuming people, and
an asylum fot thi * eet'Ud in the
opinion that ^marriage is a fail-
ure," theiefore "news notes" are
a rare and scarce article.
Cotton picking will begin in

three mile* from here, will soon
be ready for busine**, and we am
informed that two of the colored
citizens will soon have s goo i gin

see, the ftrmers hero will have no
trouble in getting the fleecy com-
modity ready for market, though
much "new ground" is beiug
tilled.

Our good littla friend, Miss Cal-
lie Dtvis, ia to leave Thursday,

Having expended a prodigious
amount of beefy energy in a futile
endeavor to <(keep cool,'' we are
almost made to exclaim with the
poet: "It ia hot, hot. hot. and
hotter evjry day," but we will de-
siatandsiy Ichahoo.
The Nkws-Chponiclb now haa

No town nor county can offer any better inducements in
prices and close margins than we are offering. Neighbor-
ing towns are advertising that they are offering better bar-
gains than Caldwell. I*et them read the following prices,
rub their eyes and pull in their signs:
Bacon, Short Clear 6Jc.
Coffee,Eight Pounds $i.
( Either Arbuckle or Crescent Coffee.)
Bucoit has advanced and In still advancing, but we will
make the ubove price, which l*t cost In carload
lots. Buy now before It Roes higher.
There vou are. Now find somebody that will beat these
prices. If vou can't, it is only common sense for you to
S buv ¡it the cheapest place.
^5 There is one peculiarity about these prices. It takes
Sg money and no oookkeeping to take advantage of them,
^ Don't expect to get cash prices without «£
