Riches adorn a house and vir-
tue adorns the person. Great
Learning.
Why ia it thas the farmers of
this great rich black land district
do not plant alfalfa? Something:
besides cotton has to be grown in
this section, if the boll weevil remains.
When cotton was bringing
10.50 in Temple and other places
this week, Bartlett buyers were
paying 10.75. But that's nothing
new. Bring your cotton to Bart-
lett and got every cent it's worth.
T. C. MoFadden, one of the
best known cotton buyers in the
South, died at his home in Tex-
arkana Tuesday. McFadden has
been in the cotton business 25
years and carried contracts with
all of the cotton markets of Eur
ope and America.

It is reported that the four
express companies doing business
in Texas have decided to with-
draw from the state; they claim
it is impossible to do business
except at a loss undor the order
of the railroad commission reduc-
ing the express rates 10 per cent.
The four companies" are the
Wells Fargo, Paoific, American
and United States. According to
the report, a notice of their pro-
posed withdrawal from the state
will bo issued in a few days,
"Houston Chronicle.
Big'T' and little "u" don't
take well with the people of this
day and time, Whenever a man
becomes' so big in his own esti-
mation that he knows it ali, he is
a fit subject for the lunatic asy-
lum, and the sooner he arrives at
his destination, the better for the
people. Do you savey? Hol-
land Progress
Probably the "big I and little
u" takes about as well this day
and time as it ever did, and prob-
ably the same conditions will ex-
ist till the end of time. Every
human being from the youngest
to the oldest, from the simplest
to the wisest, must make up his
mind according to the information
he has; i. e., if he comes to any
conclusion at, all this conclusion
is what he says he knows. Of
course most people make up their
minds on a very limited number
of facts, but what else can they
do? Josh 3illings very truth-
fully said that "a great deal of
what we know ain't so." The
experience of all people who
have lived long confirms the wis-
dom of Josh's opinfoti. It would
be useless cruelty to ignorant
people to toll them that they
don't know anything, Of course
a great many things they know,
"ain't so," and they vail find it
out after a while, but what is the
use of destroying their self-love
and admiration by calling them
ignoramuses? In short do any
of us "know anything?"
Editor Dunn, of the Holland
Progress, was at the bed side of
his very siok little daughter much
of last week and craves the in-
dulgence of his patrons for any
short comings of his paper. His
paper is all right and his many
friends sympathise with him and
any father who is called upon to
sit by the bed side of a loved and
suffering child through weary
hours of a sleepless night.
An attorney from Brown county
was in Belton yesterday, apply-
ing to Judge Furman for an in-
junction to prevent the prohibit-
ion or.lor being published at hi9
home. It seems that the alligation
upon which the petion was prin-
cipally based, was that of intimi-
dation, by the women and chil-
dren and allied influences that
were extensivoly used on election
day at Brownwood. Judge Fur-
man refused to issue the writ
asked for. Temple Tribune,
In speaking of the cotton crop,
tho Belton correspondent to the
Houston Chronicle snys: One
very noticeable feature is tho
good work turkeys are doing in
destroying the boll weevil. Tho
farmers who have Jargo droves
of turkeys running in their cot-
ton'fiold will make a much larger
crop than others.
State Superintendent of 'Public
Instruction is catching it right
and left. Ho is accused of hav-
ing a lot of cranky ideas that are
not answered or discussed in the
regular standard text books.
Those he puts in the question for
teaohors examinations and fail-
ure to know his peculiar quirks
and guiditios mako applicants for
teachers certificates fail to pass.
Tho Bell County Democrat says
that it ia likely that quite a num-
ber of county schools of Boll
county wijl bo without teachers
the coming term because few
if any of tli6m had Supt. Lofev-
re's book and honoe failed to an-
swer the questions upon which
their certificates depended.
Benson Dots-
To The Tribune.
As I haven't written for a few
weeks I will come again.
I guess "Me" is picking cotton
this week, but come again soon
we are always glad to hear from
you too.
All of the tamers are picking
cotton this week,
There was a large number at
Mr. and Mrs. Hutchens' a few
Sundays ago.
A large crowd of young people
from here attended preaching at
Yankee Branch Sunday before
last rnd also last Sunday and a
frw attended the Lone Star meet-
ing, A meeting is in progress at
Ake's schoolhouse this week.
Well I will close as I can hear
'Mo" saying, "Don't tell so
much, let me tell tho rest," I
will do so. I bid you ono and all
adieu. Guess who.
Bring your cotton to Bartlett.
Buy your goods in Bartlett.
The town of Linaros, near
Monterey, Mexico-, is being de-
populated by yellow fever. State
Health Officer Dr. Tabor has sent
Dr. I. P. Sessions of Rockdale to
the infected district to make a
thorough' investigation so that
Texas may be protected.
The committee of tho Summer
Normal Board of Examiners
which has been at work since the
Board adjourned in order to com-
plete its records, has finished its
task, and the statistical report of
the board is now complete. There
were 3521 applicants for certifi-
cates and of that numbsr 2384
secured certificates, the number
being, therefore, G7.7 per cent of
the whole number. Tho percent
of successful applicants last year
was 44 and the year previous 42
per cent. Quite a number of
this year's board had served on
summer normal boards previous
to tho last two years.
