E<1. Review:—For fear that I Being misinformed in
.some of your kind hearted, sym-1 report
last
pathetic readers would get the
idea that old .lack had parsed in
his checks and took the through
express to a warmei (dimate, and
for fear that some one might
shed some unnecc-Bary tears or
say some kind, good thing about
lho to have to repent of when
they found the mistake 1 thought
that I had better write again and
let them know that I am not only
^till above dirt but on rising
ground.
While I haven't gained enough
in strength that I perfor work to
eating still the folks 1 board with
have insinuated that if I would
tike moroe xercise and eat less
that I might feel better, but 1
would like to know how they know
so much. There arc none of them
doctors.
Another thing that prompted
me to write this letter is that last
spring my son-in-son by marriage
signed u contract with Geo. 11.
Pruitt: in which he agreed to
plant and cultivate his crop this
year according to Mr. Pruitt’s
instructions, and report the re-
sults this fall. Mr. Pruitt, you
understand, is the government
wind-paper and bug farmer of
this district—mostly bug now. I
don’t mean that Mr. Pruitt is a
oertain kind of bug that a heap
of our public officers are accused
of being; for instance Joe Bailey,
but L mean that he does the most
of his farming in a buggy.
Now, I don’t understand just
why it is, but it so happened that
I am idle today, so 1 thought that
I had just as well put in my time
^examining and reporting Clif-
ford’s crop. L did not know for
certain but 1 supposed he wanted
it reported through the county
papers. So this morning while
it was cool I took a stroll through
the field. I went over about all
that I could get through for the
weed? ar.d briars, and about as
near as I can estimate he will get,
if he ever gatlici it at all, about
five per cent of corn, cottor, po-
tatoes and pea vines. About 8T>
per cent tolerable good fall pas-
ture, while the other 10 per cent
I don’t really know whether to
give it to the bugs, worms or the
cockle-burrs, but from what I
could sec I think it would be just
and fair to divide it between
them.
I reckon that does very well
considering the early rains and
late drouth, but I have done just
as well many a time myself and
(’specially the fall pasturo part
without the advice or help of the
government or anybody else. Mr.
Pruitt might be able to give me a
.'few points on killing bugs, plant-
ing and working a crop, but when
it comes to laying-bye 1 always
got there on or before time. Now
people that don’t know mo may
think that I haven’t made a fair
estimate and given a full report
of Clifford's crop, but anyone
■that Knows me knows that when
I report a thing I always tell it
big enough the first dash out of
thi box that I never have been
called on to report it the second
time. Texas Jack.

Could wc but draw back the curtains
'That surround each other's lives,
See that naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we judged we should;
Wo should love each other better
II we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and the bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while wo Jothe the sin.
Could we know the powers working
To o’oi'throw integrity,
Wo should judge each other’s errors
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cause and trials,
Knew the efforls all in vain.
Ami the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim external roughness
Seem, I wonder, just the same?
Should we help where now we hinder?
Should we pity where we blame?
Ah, we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life’s hidden force,
Knowing not the source of action
Is less turbid at its source.
Seeing not amid the evil
And the golden grains of good,
Oh. we’d love each other better
If we only-understood.
—Exchange.
To Our Friends of Delta County.
We will pay the highest cost
price for your seed that the mar-
ket will permit. We will give
you an exchange of 3500 pounds
of hulls and 500 pounds of meal
to the ton of seed, same propor-
tion in smaller amounts. This
gives you two and one-half times
as much feed as to quantity, and
four times as much as to quality.
A ton of raw cotton seed contains
100 pounds dirt, 50 pounds lint
and 250 pounds of oil, all of
which is pure waste matter as for
as feed purposes are concerned.
We remove this waste in our mill-
ing process leaving 1000 pound-
all that is tit for, and all there i3
in a ten of seed that should be
fed to stock; this 1000 pounds we
ci.it up tine and cook, placing it
in the best possible condition for
feeding and then give you two
pounds for one including dirt
trash and all.
Cottt n seed meal is a highly
concentrated meat, muscle and
bone builder and cotton seed hull-
equal to the best, hay for roughage.
Government feed experts ad-
vise the use of cotton seed meal
as a feed for all kinds of stock
and those who make feeding a
study, feed it.
Try it on your cows horse#,
mules and hogs. Others have
tried at and arc convinced test it
your corn shortage iu Delta Co.
this fall investigate the properties
of cotton seed meal,
We want to build up a home
market for as much of our pro-
ducts as possible, because it is
best for us and best for you,there-
fore we give 3500 pounds of hulls
and 500 pounds of meal for a ton
of raw seed and store same at our
mill with no charge whatever to
you at least six months.
Monday we will have plenty of
lint cotton in rolls ready for quilt-
ing, mattresses, comforts, etc., at
5 cents per pound. All you have
to do is to unroll,no cardiigg nec-
essary.
Don t let your seed heat, spoil
and waste on your hiinds, the
business ot the man- with 100
pounds and the business the man
with 1000 tons appreciated.
For any information phone or
call at the office of the Cooper
Cotton Oil Company. <

Taylor County Family Reunion.
Editor of the Review: a* i am
a reader of your valuable paper
at Merkle and having many rela-
tives and friends in niv old home
county, Delta, I thought I would
write of a family reunion which
was enjoyed at mv home on the
13th inst.
Following are those present:
Mrs. J. i<;. Rhodes, -<>n. and two
grandchildren of Union Grove,
Delta county, Tom Mills and
family of Rotan, Fjsher county,
G. F. Freedman and his mother
of Shilo, Jones county, Davy
Tedford and family of Trent,
Taylor county.
All enjoyed a good dinner, and
talked of many things of the
past. It was a day long to he re-
membered. Mrs. Rhodes met
her cousin,John Rosson of TtenfJ
whom she had not seen in 45
years. He is 64 years old and a
confederate veteran. She also
met her aunt. Amanda Freedman,
who is 79 years old.
It was sad when all began to
take leave to their several homes,
some perhaps never to meet on
earth again.
With good wishes to the Re-
view and its many readers, I am,
A. H. Jones.

The prospects of Democratic
victory is getting brighter each
week. We are now in live weeks
of the election and the Republi-
cans are just, gettu.g their cam-
paign started. Enthusiasm is at
a low ebb and the disaffection in
their ranks in several states grows
even worse. Chairman Hitch-
cock has proven inefficient as
campaign manager, and Senator
Crane, who has not been in the
best accord with the president, is
being called on to do the- chair-
man’s work.
The Democrats, on the othei
hand, are united in every doubt
tul ,-tiita and are making the tight
of their lives for victory. Senti-
ment is changing rapidly and the
chances of fl,o two parties avv
admitted to ho about even now.
The Review reproduced last
week a nonpartisan estimate of the
relative strength of the two par-
ties as given by the Herald. It
was:
Total vote in electoral college
483.
Necessary to elect a president
•M •>
W T W •
Republican reasonably sure 206.
Democratic reasonably sure 161.
Doubtful llli.
Taft to win must get (doubtful
votes) 36.
Bryan to win must get (doubt-
ful votes)81.
The situation now appears to
be as follows:
Total votes in electoral col-
leges 483.
Necessary to elect a president
242,
Republican reasonably sure
165.
Democratic reasonably sure
161.
Doubtful 157.
Republicans to win must get
(doubtful votes) 77.
Democracts to win must get
(doubtful votes) 81.
The States which have slipped
into the doubtful column since
the notification of Mr. Taft and
Mr. Bryan, while Mr. Bryan has
been at concert pitch in the Mid-
dle West and has invaded the
East, and while Mr. Tuft has
been playing golf at. Hot Springs
and fishing at Middle Baas island
and making up his mind what to
do are given as follows, with the
number of votes each has in the
electoral college:
Kansas 10, North Dakota I
Ohio 23, Oregon 4, Total 41.

Editor Review:—The best thing
we know to tell is that the sick
are all up except two and thty
are improving.
Cotton picking and ginning is
the order of the day now.
Singing at the Baptist Church
was real good Sunday. Some of
the Greenwood boys came and

Henson intended spending two
months in school there but we
think has given out going.
A good number from our town
took in the show at Enloe la.-t
week.
The trustees have been working
on the school house the past
week, repairing it some for tl e
next term. Miss Maggie Murray
will assist in the school at this
place next term.
Misses Mamye House and Min-
nie Jones are spending the week
with Mrs. Sarah Moore.
The Same Gike.
Charlie McKinney left this
week for Austin to enter the
State University, where he will

When you have a cold you may
be sure that it lias been caused
indirectly by constipation and
consequently you must first of all
take something to move the bow-
els. This is what has made Ken-
nedy's laxative cough syrup so
succcsful and so generally de-
manded. It. does not constipate
so generally demanded. It does
not constipate like most of the
old fashioned cough oures, but
on the other hand it gently moves
the bowel* ami at the same time
heals irritation and allays infla-
mation of the throat. Sold by all
druggists.
How To Oet Strong.
P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Con-
gress St., Chicago, tells of a way
to become strong: He says: “M,y
mother, who is old and very fec-
blo, is deriving so much benefit,
from Electric Bitters, that I feel
it’s my duty to toll those who
need a tonic and strengthening
medicine about it. In my moth -
er's case a marked gain in flesh
has resulted, insomnia has been
overcome, and she is steadily
growing stronger." Electric
bitters quickly remedy stomach,
liver and kidneycomplaints. Sold
under guarantee at all drugged*.
