person in mind, but we mean to
state a fact that every wide-awake
citizen must admit. Those who are
asleep will complain because of this
effort to awake them, but they
ought to get their eyes open and
see things as they do exist. It is
humiliating to show strangers
about the town. In places there are
great, high embankments with lean
ing fences, in others gulleys and
weeds and in others ragged fences
extend over what should be a side-
walk. At the northwest corner Of
the public square is a high, brick-
curbed embankment, after the style
of fifty years ago when all stores
had high galleries in front to keep
out the hogs, that requires something
like a step-ladder to get upon it at
the north end. Along the edge of
this walk a barbed wire was
stretched to prevent people from sit-
ting there. Only a few nights ago a
citizen, in passing along this walk,
made a misstep, caught his foot un-
der the wire and was thrown to the
gutter below, sustaining severe and
painful injuries, which may result
in a damage suit against the city or
the property owner or both. And
nothing short of a damage suit is
likely to bring about an improve-
ment in such conditions, Such a
suit would be in the interest of the
public welfare, for citizens have
rights that must be respected and
among these rights is the right to
use free for passage and unobstruct-
ed the streets and sidewalks of the
city.

Houston is having some trouble
with its police force as a result of
uncivility by policemen. Whenever
a peace officer so far forgets him-
self as to lecture, intimidate and
abuse private citizens, he disquali-
fies himself as a peace officer and
should be let out of the public ser-
vice. It is an officer's duty to ar-
rest violators of the law, but he' has
no right for any cause to insult and
abuse them, and any officer doing so
is unfit for the place.

The "Hoosier Cabinet" Kitchen Saves Miles of Steps and Hoars of Time
Only Twelve More Women May Join
Hoosier Club for $1.00 and Secure a Hoosier Cabinet at Once
A Community of Model Kitchens
Crockett is becoming rapidly a city of model
kitchens. Every street neárly has one or more
houses in which are Hoosier Cabinets.
The woman who has a Hoosier Cabinet has
a model kitchen. Everything is at her finger
ends. She saves miles of steps.
The Hoosier is a silent servant that works
day in and day out, without tiring.
All over America the Hoosier Company per-
mits its agents to organize Hoosier Clubs dur-
ing certain periods of the year. The member-
ship in most clubs is limited to 15, but we se-
cured 25 cabinets for our club sale this spring
and this entire number, as you see, will soon
be taken.
Clnb Plan in Detail
To join the Hoosier Club, you pay merely
$1.00 membership, and $1.00 weekly, and have
the Hoosier Cabinet delivered immediately.
The Hoosier Company fixes the price every-
where. You pay no more for this liberal credit.
The Cluh Differs from the Installment Plan
The Hoosier Club differs greatly from the
installment plan; is under the direct supervision
of the Hoosier Mfg. Co., which fixes the low
price that no Hoosier agent can change.
Total Membership Limit 25
Owing to the very liberal terms, the allot-
ment of Hoosier Cabinets that can be sold dur-
ing this club week is necessarily limited. In
many Hoosier Clubs a number of women are
frequently disappointed because they delayed
too long in enrolling their names. We state
this so that any one who contemplates getting
a Hoosier Cabinet now may enroll her name
without delay and avoid disappointment.
Get a "Model Kitchen Book" Free
The famous Hoosier text-book used in many
domestic science schools wil| be supplied free
to all visitors who attend the great Hoosier
display now in our store as long as our limited
supply of these books lasts.

IDS TOWS SIDEWALKS A
DISCRACE TO CIVILIZATION.
The Courier prefers to speak good
of everything. It Would rather not
complain of anything. It refers
with pride to the many beautiful
homes of its town, their well kept
lawns and flower yards, and to the
magnificent churches and good
schools, and it regrets that it can-
not refer with the same pride to the
town' sidewalks. t But with a few
" i town's side-
Hisiness dis-
trict, are a disgrace to civilization.
Along Public avenue, around the
church and school properties and
The Courier favors the candidacy
of Justice R. A. Pleasants of Galves-
ton for the supreme bench and B.
F. Looney of Greenville for attorney
general We have known of these
men for some time and know them
to be. thoroughly capable, efficient
and praiseworthy, and deserving of
the highest honors.
The race for district judge will be
made largely in Anderson county
Houston county will support its can-
didate and the same thing may be
said of Henderson county. There
are three counties in the district
and a candidate at each end, and
each candidate is trying to get the
biggest slice out of the middle coun-
ty.
Two congressmen-at-large are tcr
be elected. The Courier is for R. E.
Yantis of Athens and Daniel E. Gar-
rett of Houston, one a prohibitionist
and the other an anti, but both op-
posed to graft. Prohibition should
have no place in this campaign.
When a public official renders
faithful service, he should be given
a second and successive term as a
reward for merit When a public
official has not kept the faith, there
should be no second teqn for him
