The Tribune
And News
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1916
Cotton pickinpt is the order of
the day, 'but it wont last long as
the crop is short, reports the Le-
ander Times,
And when a doctor goes to
heaven it must be awfully em-
barrassing for him when he en-
counters a former patient.
If some people who talk "pre-
pardness" concerning warfare,
would preoare themselves for
more useful citizens, it would be
more appropriate, it seems to us.
Atter a bachelor passes the
age of 40 it's up to him to marry
widow, if he marries at all.
He'll need a wife who knows
how cranky men ere.
Our graveled streets could be
greatly improved right now by
the dumping of some fine gravel
in the low places. It would be
the part of economy to do this.
Do you believe in national pre-
paredness and then fail to keep
yourself physically fit? Wash
your face carefully and then use
a, common roller towel? Go to
the drug store to buy a tooth
brush and then handle the en-
tire stock to see if the bristles
are right? Swat the fly and
then maintain a pile of garbage
5n the back yard?
"Vengeance is mine. I will
repay." The hand of man may
have somewhat to do with the
administration of justice, but
the hand of the Almighty is the
- controlling factor. The spectacle
of a man being brought to trial
for murder after fourty-four
years of liberty is not very un-
usual, but it serves to call atten-
tion to the fact that the guilty
must suffer. There is little rest
ior the wicked and. crime does
not pay. Houston Post.
The cotton season is now
opened in earnest, and all the
gins are fired up all day now,
and running practically all the
time. The air is beginning to
be charged with electricity of
fall business, and everyone is
taking up his belt a notch for
the busy season. Bartlett, a"
Usual, will be the leading market
of the section, Our gins are
numerous and all of the best
class in equipment and ably
managed. Our buyers pay top
market prices always. Our mer
chants have the best stocked and
best kept stores of any town of
like pretensions within our
knowledge. And what means a
saving of much time and labor
cost to the farmer. Bartlett
has fine pike roads leading in
from many different directions,
making it cheap and pleasant to
reach the Bartlett markets and
stores, in all kinds of weather.
Come here with your cotton.
If society is to be further up-
lifted, if it is to be kept from
slipping back, it must hold firmly
to the right of saying that wrong
is wrong, no matter who com-
mits it or how guilty others may
be. If there can be no respon-
sibility and no condemnation till
we get a perfect world there can
be no way of holding the world
up to the level which it has al-
ready reached. Gonzales Inquirer.
It is a pretty strict liquor law
that gets the courts down to
splitting hairs between sun time
and standard time, but that is
what is being done in Texas, and
the early closing hour for saloons
law . being rigidly enforced.
There is no state in the union
where the liquor laws are better
enforced than in Texas. Austin
American.
The other day I was walking
down the street and two men
whose names I'll omit were
walking ahead of me, and they
were talking to beat sixty. They
were talking about a man I hap-
pened to know and like. What
they said can't be printed. They
said everything batl about him
and then some. Just as they had
exhausted their vocabulary in
villifying this man thev met him
face to face, and I know that
man thought those fellows were
his friends because he greeted
them with a hearty handshake
and anybody could tell that he
was a good scout and didn't de-
serve the bad things they had
said about him. Did those fellows
give him an indifferent greeting?
Not much! They seized his hand
like he was a lost brother and
that man invited those men to
a cold drink. 1 thought they
would refuse, but they went in
and drank with him, patted him
on the shoulder and went their
way. And I wonder if some
people are not born without a
conscience. So you can't always
tell whether you are being kind
to a friend or an enemy. I want-
ed to tell that man what I heard,
but I didn't for it would have
made him dislike those fellows
and mabe they will be ashamed
when they read this and quit be-
ing two-faced. This old world is
full of two-faced folks, and if
they can't discard this manner
of lying to their fellowmen,
when Gabriel blows his trum-
pet they will be so busy praising
some fellow to his face whom
they '"cussed" to his back, that
they won't hear the trumpet and
will get left here on earth' with
the Devil, and I don't know but
what it will serve them right.
If you owe for the Tribune,
please call and' drop a dollar in
the slot. This is no dun, but a
hint that we need the "silver
wheel"
The farmer can now look over
his cotton crop with pride and
smile a smile of elation every
time be loads a bale on his wag-
on for the gin and market. He
can the oil "king" between the
ribs and chuckle oyer the 100
bucks it will bring to his heart's
content. Great is old "King
Cotton" when he is really king.

PRINCE
P. A. puts new joy
into the sport of
smoking !
YOU may live to
be 110 and never
feel old enough to
vote, but it's certain-sure
you'll not
know the joy and
r.nnrp.ntmfinf nf n
E friendly old jimmy
cigarette unless you get on talking-terms
with Prince Albert tobacco!
P. A. comes to you with a real reason for all the
goodness and satisfaction it offers. It is made by
a patented process that removes bite and parch 1
You can smoke it long and hard without a come-
back I Prince Albert has always been sold without
coupons or premiums. We prefer to give quality!
Prince Albert affords the keenest pipe and cigarette
enjoyment! And that flavor and fragrance and
coolness is as good as that sounds. P. A. just
answers the universal demand for tobacco
without bite, parch or kick-back!
Introduction to Prince Albert isn't any harder
than to walk into the nearest place that sells
tobacco and ask for "a supply of P. A." You pay
out a little change, to be sure, but it's the cheer-
fullest investment you ever made!

Kind words do not cost much.
They never blister the tongue or
lips. We never heard of any
mental trouble arising from this
quarter. Though they do not
cost much, yet they accomplish
much. Thev make other people
good natured. They also pro-
duce their own image on men's
souls, and what a beautiful im-
age it is, Pascal.
