WE WONDER WHO WILL WIN OUR PRIZE AT THE
3rd Annual Fair of Mills County
To Be Held At Goldthw&ite, July 15, 16 and 17, 1915.
1st ANNUAL MILLS COUNTY FAIR HELD AT GOLDTHWAITE IN 1911—D. S. WARNER, WINNER.
2nd ANNUAL MILLS COUNTY FAIR HELD AT GOLDTHWAITE IN 1912—S. P. McPHERSON, WINNER.
We extend to every family in Mills County a hearty invitation to compete for
our S15-Q0 prize for the greatest and best variety of cultivated Agricultural Pro-
ducts and Flowers. We feel that many families can and will have an equal chance
to win. One family may have more Vegetables and less of other things—more
Fruits and less of other things—more Field Products and less of other things—
more Flowers and less of other things—but the Family who can exhibit a greater
and better variety of Vegetables, Fruits, Field Products and Flowers combined
will win our prize. We want to encourage every family in Mills County to have
as perfect a home as possible.
We have Plenty of Money to help you tide over the Summer and will appreci-
ate your Business and Deposits.

ATTEND THE FAIR.
Help to Keep Mills County Abreast
With the Best.
The officers and members of the
Goldthwaite Commercial club, as
well as the citizens and business men
of Goldthwaite, extend a hearty and
cordial invitation to the people of
this and surrounding counties to at-
tend tlhe fair and reunion next week.
The fact that the fair is a new
institution or enterprise impels us
as officers of the organization that
fosters it to urge the co-operation
of the people, to the end that we
may build up a fair here that will
be second to none in point of the
quality of displays and the united
interest of the people. It is not a
selfish interest that promotes the
fair, but a desire to keep Mills
county well in the front in the ex-
hibition of county products of all
kinds.
The fair was born of a spirit of
enterprise, and believing as we do
that the people of this county will
be benefitted by the annual exhibi-
tions of our farm, garden and live
stock products, we ask that every
one in this county give all
the help they can to make it a
success and there is no better way to
help than to attend and join in mak-
ing the exhibits. .We have seen by
the displays made here for many
years, both at the reunions and on
the trades day occasions, that Mills
county’s products would compare
favorably with those of any of the
counties, even at the state fairs,
and last year the Commercial club
leased the Confederate park from
the old soldiers and determined to at-
tempt to inaugurate a county fair,to
be held regularly each summer or fall
Our first effort proved conclusively
that the resources were here and
that there were great possibilities for
a fair in Mills county. We now ask
that all the people. unite in making
this fair even a greater success
than the first and we believe the
united effort will result in an en-
larged enterprise and the fostering
of a spirit of co-operation that will
be very helpful to our entire county.
In the name of the Commercial
club, the fair management and the
business men, we invite and
urge all the people of this county
to attend the fair next! Tuesday, Wed-
nesday and Thursday.
L. E. MILLER, Pres.
EDWARD GEESLIN, Sec.
Robert E. Lee, one of the great
soldiers of the world, typified all that
was best in the South. A member
of one of the most distinguished Vir-
ginia families, he had the fine quali-
ties of his class with none .of its
weaknesses. He had courage without
bluster, dignity without arrbgance,
reserve without sloth. A soldier in
all his regal bearing, in every fiber
of his body, his character was far
larger than is essential to the pro-
fessions of arms. In the great de-
cision of life he guided his action by
what seemed to him the principles
of duty, and by those only. Political
animosity long called him, and some-
times still calls him, traitor; but
if the word means a mans who sells
his convictions for a price, it was
never less deserved. For three years
the Southj gave him absolute trust,
and no people ever trusted more
wisely.—Gamaliel Bradford in Youth’s
Companion.

pleted counting more than one billion
postage stamps in the bureau of en-
graving and printing. In exact fig-
ures the number that passed under

value of $30,452,121.73 and they con-
stitute the reserve supply ordered
some time ago by Postmaster General
Burleson. The inspectors descended
on the bureau without warning with
the intention of testing thoroughly
the checking system employed be
tween the department and the bureau
At the expiration of eight day’s work
the officers discovered that the count
tallied exactly with the department’s
record.

A sensational and cruel murder
was committed in the little town of
Angleton, Brazoria county, Wednes-
day night. Mrs. John Sikes, a laSy
of refinement, was murdered by be-
ing stabbed three times and physicians
say an assault was also made upon
her. She was a visitor to the town
and went to the business part of the
town to make some purchases. She
did not return to her apartments and
search was made for her and her re-
mains were found in an alley one
block from her boarding place. Her
hat, shoes and handbag were miss-
ing and indications are that she was
murdered and then carried to the
place where her body was found.
RESIDENCE DESTROYED.
Last night between the hours of
nine and ten o’clock the residence
and entire contents of Edgar Lan-
caster, who resides on the Lancas-
ter ranch five miles south of ZepJjyiC
was destroyed by fire. Mr. and Mrs.
Lancaster were attending church at
Blanket Springs when the fire origi-
nated. By the time they reached
home the building was a mass of
flames and all effort .to save any of
the contents was futile.
Just how the fire started is en-
tirely unknown, for there had been
no fire about the house since the
noon hour, and they had only been
gone from the house about an hour
when the fire was first discovered.
Their loss, not including the build-
ing, will amount to several hundred
dollars, with no insurance on either
house or contents.—Zephyr News.

DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. BuUock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Kys—In an interesting letter
rom this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
vrites as follows: “I suffered for four
(ears, with womanly troubles, and during
his time, I could only sit up for a little
jvhile, and could not walk anywhere at
ill. At times, I would have severe pain*
« ray left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat-
nent relieved me for a while, but I was
>oon confined to my bed again. After
hat, nothing seemed to do me any good,
i had gotten so weak I could not stand,
ind I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
jardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com-
enced taking it. From the very first
iose, I could tell it was helping me. I
an now walk two miles without its
inflg me, and am doing my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
roubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Dardui, the woman’s tonic. It nas helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of wonderful success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom-
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.
