REDUCTION IN SIZE.
Owing to the enormous in*
crease in the price of paper of all
kinds and especially the best
quality, such as is used for print-
ing the ÍÍkws-Chkoniclk, the
management of this paper has
been compelled to reduce the
number of pages to eight instead
of twelve, as heretofore. The
amount of reading matter in the
paper will be almost exactly the
«ame as before because of the
great amount of space left vacant
by the usual dropping oil of ad-
vertising on January 1st. If you
doubt this statement, find a copy
of the paper of any week in Sep-
tember, October, November or
December and measure the read-
ing matter in i* and then meas-
ure it in this week's paper, and
you will find you are getting verv
nearly if not quite as much read-
ing matter as you was then.
When the ad's begin to crowd
our columns again we will take
advantage at the very earliest
opportunity to again give our
readers a twelve-page paper.
We will be able to give you a
ten-page paper Yiext week.
INDEPENDENCE.
Under the head of the educa-
tional department this week, our
readers, young and old, will find
some very important an 1 valu-
able reading matter. It is the
almost entire lack of will power,
stamina, independent action, or
vertebra, if you please, that is
the curse of the land today.
Everybody, old and young, de-
pends on some one else to do
their work in some way or other;
thus it results that, while the
work may possibly be done, it is
only in one case out of a hundred
that it is done correctly or prop-
erly. If each and very man
would go about his own work and
do that, he would be far better
satisfied, and would find the
world for more easy to live in
and a living far easier to make.
Of course, co-operation has a
great deal to do with the success
of much work, but that doesn't
remove the responsibility from
any individual person of doing his
own particular work that none
other can do with half the com-
pleteness he can. Every individ-
ual man, woman, boy and girl
would be better off if they would
try to follow the principle laid
down on these lines.
for an office on
other will be tfee
character in present day history.
However, it would be well to be
sure you are right before pro*
ceeding very far
Already there have been 25,000
claims for pensions filed against
the government as a result of the
war with Spain. It looks as if
the pensioners and trusts are de-
terminined to bankrupt the gov-
ernment in spite of all Uncle Sam
can do.— (¡atesvHle Messenger.
To show how little things
count, J. W. Thomason, one of
our produce dealers, informed
us this week that he bought and
shipped, during 18**9,45,000 dozen
eggs, and paid out in cash $4,800
for eggs, chickens and turkeys.
How many persons ever stop to
think of the amount of money re-
ceived from this source by the
farmers? Verily, little things
do pay<—McGregor Herald.
How many farmers ever
thought of keeping a set of books
during each year? Do you know
how much it cost you to live last
year? Do have anv idea exactly
where each dollar goes that you
make? Which of the necessities
of life cost the most? Krom
what do you derive the most rev-
enue? What does it cost to pro-
duce this or that thing? Just
think about this matter for a
minute and see if you don't think
you ought to be a bookkeeper.
The fehre wdest%«yer
On Mrth today is looking merely for the best values at the the lowest possible
price, that is all. He does not search for the biggest stock nor for the loudest
mouthed advertiser. He does not care a continental whether the merchant
from whom he buys, does the biggest business or the smallest. Til® real live
man with nine children and only one wife to support, with low priced cotton,
should have but one object in view, when he comes to town and that to get the
belt value possible for his money.
My prices are uniform, I sell every piece of goods in my house at as near
a uniform profit as can l>e figured. Here are some of the highest as well as
the lowest prices you pay me.

Thicki', are a few papers in
Texas that persist in saving
things of a personal nature
about Senator Chilton and Con-
gressman Bailey that are simply
shameful, to say the least, and
that go to show that the alleged
editors have allowed their pre-
judice and spite to dominate their
views. Some editors verily itch
for a controversy and will slan-
der a good man while mixed up in
a dispute with some one else who
differs with fhem. Chilton and
liailey arc both men entirely
above reproach from a personal
viewpoint, and the man who
would throw slime on either in an
endeavor to make his friends or
his favorite candidate think he
is a zealous worker, ought tobe
kicked out of his county and
caged for life with a demented
ant-eater,
