Bell county is having no half-
way doings. The Commissioners'
Court has given notice that upon
proper application the county
will refund at once to the liquor
dealers the amount due them for
unexpired license. There were
45 dealers in the county, and it is
estimated that the amount due
them is about S1800. If the state
licenses are of even date there is
due them from that source S3600.
But the State appropriation has
already been drawn on bo heavily
that it may be exhausted, There
is. duo from 'the. several towns
$1800. It is not likely that they
have the cash on hand ,for im-
medjite refund. Journal -Re-pbtfori

KXA-00
The injunction business has
assumed a new phaso in Nacog-
doches county where local option
recently carried. Upon learning
that an injunction had been
granted by a foreign judge re-
straining the proprietors of the
Nacogdoches Sentinel from pub-
lishing the result of the electron
for the fourth time, a number of
t
citizens co-nposed of farmers,
lawyers, merchants and mechan
ics entered into a lease contract
for that papr for a week at a
stipulated consideration and stat-
ed that the notice would be pub-
lished the fourth time, and inas-
much as the antis could not as-
certain who the lessees of the
paper were they could not enjoin.
Government by injunction does
not go in Nacogdoches county.
Town pride, progressive busi-
ness methods, a disposition to en-
courage rather than discourage
everv nrnnnsifinn that in infonrlnrl
to promote the general welfare on
the people and the town, a erood
word for your town and country
to enquiring strangers, these are
a few of the essentials that are
almost as necessary to the pros
perity and growth of a town as
good crop3. It is too frequently
the case that business men dis
courage prosperity by trying to
justify themselves in their own
stingy methods. Wharton Ea-
gle. Ex-Gov. Hogg in his .address
to farmers on farmers day Sept.
30th at tho Dallas fair considers
at longth what have been called
the Hogg "proposed amendments
to the state, constitution, and
advises farmers to organize some
thing after the order of tho
Grange and Farmer's Alliance,
for the consideration of these and
and other subjects in which they,
as tho bono and sinew of the land,
will ever be interested. It is safe
to predict that tho facts and ar-
guments set forth in this address
will be heard from in future polit-
ical camps,
A Tennessee papor has solved
the question an to what consti-
tutes a drunken man, , It says
that a man is drunk when he is
so drunk that hdoes not know
he is drunk.
Bormg For Oil
A company of Milam coUnty
people has been organized and
are boring for oil near Bailey villc
in that county. The company ha?
ample means to. make a thorongh
test for oil. They arc boring in
ground where oil oozes to the
surface and may be lighted with
a match whe burns right along. By
the way The Tribune mentioned
the fact a year or two ago that
Mr. W. H. Cameron, who lives
five miies west of Bartlctt, while
boring for water at a depth of
about 400 icet struck oil in small
guanity but he collected enough
off the little pool made near the
well to oil his wagon and farm
machinery, stopping at about that
depth it is not known what would
have developed lower down. If he
had not found oil we now know
that he would have found an ar-
tesian well of good water at 1000
1 100 feet. The well at Bartlett
demonstrates, that matter. Auy-
wherc west and northwest of here
artesian wells may be had at that
depth, They are finding oil almost
anywhere in Tex s and some of
these holes that are boring for
water may strike oil. It is certain
they will strike water in the direc-
ions and at the depths mentioned.
People who want artesian water
may bore with confidence. If they
strike oil it will be no crime.
It is an old but trite saying
that ''the cock that crows the
loudest always roosts on the low-
est limbs." 1 Watch, dear reader,
and see if it isn't true.
Since moving into its new buil
ding, the Houston Post has put
on a nfaw dress, made in the lat-
est stylo. In-fact tne Post is al-
ways the best paper in the morn-
ing newspaper field. Long my
it live.
It is often said that the county
officers cannot enforce the law.
Judge Gerald's course in Waco
seems to show that they can't do
it because they don't want to. Ho
said gambling must stop in Waco
then proceeded personally to the
gambling dens and arrested all
the gamblers he could find. Now
he can't find any more gamblers
in his city, and nobody else can
find them They have absquatu-
lated. So it would be in any
county where the officers see
proper to discharge the duties
for which they are elected. The
way is plain when there is a will.
Let the towns all be "Goralized."
If you need a coffin in the coun
try or in town, use your own or
your neighbor's 'phone and call
up No. 01. Wo can furnish you
with everything you need in the
undertaker's line, and if you
phono us from the country we
will have the coffin ready when
you arrive. C. W. Taylor in the
Rogers News.
Turning to the head of the ed-
itorial columns it is seen that C.
W. Taylor is the editor of tho
News. Now if the editor and
the undertaker are one and the
snmo.man he is a dangerous oiti-
zen. Of course, the deceased
patron of tho undertaker would
be entitled to a free, touching and
soul-stirring obituarv from the
talented editor. TJhis might?
tempt citizens, especially pretty
and sentimental girls, to commit
suicide. Here's a proper case
for an injunction. It's a danger-
ous combination.
J. E. Tipton was a pleasant
caller Friday.
Quite a number of Bartlettites
attended l,ho ice cream supper at
Pecan Saturday night, and had

Mrs. Troupe who has recently
returned from an extended visit
to relativos in Georgia, South
Carolina and Virginia, reports
having a most enjoyable time.
