tractive Christmas edition.—

There has come to our desk
three very creditable special edi-

We recently met a man who
asked us how we would go about
determining the value of spare
ribs and back bone, as he want-
ed to sell some. Gone are the
days when corn sold for two bits
a bushel and no one ever thought
of offering such choice pieces of
meat for sale.
The Deport Times issued a
Santa Claus edition last week
which was a credit to both the
publisher and Deport. It prov-
es that Deport business men are
live wires and the way they used
the columns of the Times also
proves they know how to keep
home business at home.—Blos-
som Bee.

The Perfect Woman at Last.
Jones came home at an un
seemly hour one night, and was
surprised to see Mrs. Jones sit
ting up for him below stairs.
“M M Maria” he said huskily,
“y you shouldn’t sit up so late
when I’m out on business.”
As Mrs. Jones did not answer
him, he continued in an alarmed i
voice, "Shorry, m’ dear, but it’s
lash time—tell you I’m shorry
Won’t speak to me!”
At this moment Mrs. Jones
called from above stairs: “Mr.
Jones, who are you talking to at
this hour of the night?”
"Hie thas’h what I’d like to
know myshelf," stammered
Jones.
Mrs. Jones hastened (’.own
stairs, lamp in hand. When she
saw the situation, she laughed
in spite of being angry.
"It’s the model,” she said,—
“the model I bought today to tit
my dresses on.”
“Yes, thas h so,” said Jones
tipsily, “model woman—didn’t
talk back—make shorne fellow
good wife.”

Fire At Oil Mill.
A grass fire on the oil mill pro-
perty last Friday evening fired
the oil house and storage tanks.
It was a cold day and the water
works system was frozen up so
that the fire gained great head-
way before being put out. It
j destroyed the sheet iron oil
house and oil storage tanks,
which were empty. The loss
will amount to about $1,000,
which is covered by insurance.

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Slug-
gish Liver and Vou Lose
a Day’s Work.
There’s no reason why a per-
son should take sickening, sali-
vating calomel when 50 cents
buys a large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone—a perfect substi-
tute for calomel.
I* is a pleasant, vegetable
liquid which will start your
liver just as surely as calomel,
but it doesn’t make you sick and
cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson’s Liver Tone, be-
cause it, is perfectly harmless.
Calomel h a dungerous drug.
It is mercury ana attacks your
bones.. Take a dose of nasty
calomel instead and vou will feel
weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don’t lose a day's work.
Take a dose of Dodson’s Liver
Tone today and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bil-
iousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue
or sour stomach. Your druggist
say sif you don’t find Dodson’s
Liver Tone acts better than
horrible calomel your money is
waiting foi you.—Adv. 3
Notice
Plenty of meal and bulls for
sale or exchange. We are pay-
ing top prices for seed.

An Appropriate Christmas Gift.
No other present will be as
permanent or as beneficial as a
scholarship in the Paris Com-
mercial College.
If you are not trained, you can
not even write a letter of appli-
cation that will appeal to the av-
erage business man. You may
have much natural ability and
have a spotless character, but
unless you are trained in mod
era business management, you
cannot hope to make a complete
success of business for yourself,
and cannot hope to be employed
by the successful man. No of-
fice has room for a man or wo-
man, who cannot do either first
class bookkeeping, write a good
hand, operate a typewriter,
write shorthand, solve problems
that come up in actual business,
or write a good business letter,
deeds, mortgages, contracts,
drafts and other commercial pa
pers. These are some of the es-
sentials for your success. You
db not inherit these accomplish-
ments, but you learn them by at
tending a school that meets the
demands of the business men.
Once business men had to
train their own help. They do
not have time for this now. The
successful business prefers ein
ploying the most efficient help
possible and paying a good sala-
ry for it. This is better for the
young men and women who de
sire to hold good positions, be
cause only a few months are re
quired in training for the very
best places.
No other school knows and
meets the demands of the large
business establishments better
than the Paris Commercial Col-
lege. This school furnishes more
bookkeepers and stenographers
for the positions that pay large
salaries in North Texas and
Southern Oklahoma than all oth
er Business Colleges combined.
It will pay you to train for the
best places, and a diploma from
the Paris Commercial College is
a guarantee of ablility to hold
any office position.

Eastern Star Keeps Open Huuse
Wednesday afternoon from
three to five o’clock the Eastern
Star received the Masons and
their wives at the Masonic Hall.
The guests were met at the
entrance by Mesdames W. P.
Evans and E. K. Gunn and cor-
dially welcomed by all the mem-
bers of the order. A salad
course was served, and a Victro
la furnished music througth out
the afternoon. Though the dis
disagreeable weather kept many
away, those present thoroughly
enjoyed the hospitality of-the or-
der.
Carelessness Results in Failure.
That is why we say “Feed B.
A. Thomas’ Hog Powder accord-
ing to directions.” Do not feed
it sloppy, but mix it with ground
feed and moisten with just
enough water to make a crumbly
mass. Then each hog gets a
beneficial dose. See full direc-
tions on package. Your money
back if you are not satisfied.—
