FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1920.
Say it with a smile!
Do it the Teague way
a smile.
-with
this way:
Joe Bailey gets funny some
times. His latest announce-
ment is that he will take the
stump for Cox and Roosevelt
after the run-off gubernatorial
election in Texas.
Cox and Roosevelt stand f
the League of Nations.
Bailey opposes it.
Cox and Roosevelt stand f
woman suffrage.
Hailey oppose? it.
Cox and Roosevelt stand f
Laugh and prosper. Frown laws.
the protection of labor from
oppression.
Bailey opposes it.
Cox and Roosevelt stand for
a forward looking foreign poli-
cy.
Bailey opposes it.
Cox and Roosevelt stand for
enforcement of the prohibition
and you are in a class of your
own.
Don’t kick; the telephone bill
is up a little bit this month.
The hello girls had to have
more money to-get along at the
present prices. Your salary was
raised long ago. Pay it and be
pleasant.
There are still a few weeds
about some of the streets,
alleys, and even too near some
of the private premises for us
to make a Class A showing to
strangers who visit us. Let’s
not stop until we have a clean
town!
There are less flies and mos-
quitoes in Teague this summer
than ever before, and this is an
excellent record for Teague peo-
ple who, working together, have
made this condition possible.
But let us not stop here! We
must be up and doing. Let us
keep the flies and mosquitoes
where they are. Let no day
pass without doing \some duty,
however small, to thwart the
spread of these pests. The re-
sults will l>e mightier than you
can imagine. ,

The Freestone County Fair
Association, one of the mo$t
important organizations in the
county, is planning big things
for this year’s exhibition. If
the committee in charge has
ever decided on the grounds, or
the exact place for holding the
Fair, the Chronicle has not yet
been advised. Everybody’s on
for the big Fair, and the sooner
definite plans- and arrangements
are made, and made public, the
better for the institution. Let
us hear from the officers and
committees. The oflicers and
directors are among the biggest
men in the county in all walks
of life, and we may expect the
greatest Fair this county has
ever witnessed. Let’s speed up!
Teague has started another
step in the right direction, in
the matter of paving Main
street and Fourth avenue, and
grading the two streets out to
city limits, thus meeting
the pikes ?om Mexia and Fair*
field. Part of Vis , ‘*in*

government. From every angle

can and will forgo to the front
on half a chance. Come to
Teague.
have drawn from the first pri-
mary their star players. The
Democrats do not fear the re-
sult of the second with Pat
Neff as their standard bearer
and the “true ring” policies of
sound Demacricy pitted against
Joe Bailey from Washington
attempting to force "anti-ism”
for sound issues into the noses
of Texas voters. The Bailey-
crats hollow that Bailey was
the man they wanted in the
second, while the Democrats
meet them calmly with the
fact that “Neff is the Man, run
your best.” At any rate, 22
days from today everybody
shall know whether right is
mighty in Texas, or whether
the antis, assisted by all the
other opposition elements, are
in the majority. It’s a difficult
thing to come out of a war
such as we have had without
its stain upon the politics of
the country, especially when
there are those who are bold
enough to attempt to manu-
facture issues out of fallacies
and self-ego.
Conditions in the Teague
country this season are noth-
ing short of a paradise, so to
speak, if you will permit so
strong an expression. Farmers
in all lines have enjoyed good
seasons, have worked their
crops well, after looking well
after diversification, rotation,
etc., and will reap a harvest in
keeping with their efforts, bar-
ring insects, and it is now most
too late for them to do the
damage they did in years gone
by. Here’s hoping we are ena-
bled to finish up the year as
well as we have made it thus
far, then we can all rejoice and
give thanks.
And don’t miss a chance to
speak well of your neighbor
and your home town.

Thanks to the Voters.
To the Democratic Voters of
Freestone County:
I take this method of retuhn-
mg to my friends sincere
thanks for the support given
me at the recent primary elec-
tion, most especially at Butler,
(my former home) Liberty,
Lanely, Dew, Cotton Gin, New
Hope and Donie; and last but
not least, to the good people of
Fairfield and vicinity, among
whom I have lived for nearly
six years, and with whom I
have stood for those things
that go for the upbuilding of
the community and its institu-
tions. I thank you most sin-
cerely for your liberal support.
I bear no ill-will toward those
who opposed me, and hope that
the final result will prove to be
the “fruits of wisdom."
I believe that all public offices
should be filled by efficient peo-
ple, who reverence God and
show that they have the high-
est regard for their constitu-
ency by giving “Efficient Ser-
vice.”
Again thanking each and all
in every section of the county,
Sincerely,
J. M. Wood,
Ex-Candidate for County Clerk.

happy occasion.
