^he editor and family and W.
A. Brown, wife and son, William
all had the pleasure of dining
with Mr. and Mrs. Sandifer yes-
terday.
The edit :r had his wife to in-
form Mrs. Sandifer that news-
paper men only ate once a w eek
and that yesterday was our day.
Mrs. Sandifer well understood
and cooked all the good things
to be found, and then some', and
to say the least we all had a
grand feast which could only be
prepared by an artist in the cul-
linery dopartment.
The editor has resolved to do
more vis-ting in the future and
we are looking for a few more
friends just like Mrs. Sandifer.
When it comes to coeking we
do not know of the qualifications
of many of the good women of
our town but they are at liberty
to srove to us at any time.

Knox City Sure To Get Her
Share ot the Cotton.
Work on the Hackfield gin is
now nearing completion. The
building has been remodled and
enlarged, the capacity of-the gin
doubled and the machinery all
being modern in every respect,
gives Mr. Hackfield one of tho
best gins in West Texas, and one
that Knox City is proud of. Tho
Oil Mill gin is being repaired
and remodled and will be in
much better shape this year than
last. With these two large gins
the ginning facilities oí our
town will be far superior to that
of any neighboring town, hence
we are safe in saying that Knev
City is sure to get her share e-
normous output ot the famous
Knox prairie. n
It has developed that if costs
something' to write love letters
in Bell county, as one gentleman
in Belton this week was assessed
a four thousand verdict for writ-
ing a love letter to some maid in
New York. When you * look at
the number of dashing young
maids that really desire the hand
of love in Texas the price he
paid was not unreasonable. It
will teach the other suckers that
home spun goods are the cheap-
est, and a patron of home arti-
cles is always the best!
Miss Alma Rogers, who has
been visiting her sister, Mrs. R.
R. Banner in south Texas for
several wTeeks returned home
this week. Mrs. Banner accom-
Eanied her home and will viáit
ome folks for a time.

J. E, Brannin says ho is a
Democrat.
J. E. Brannin of Grace, called
to see us Tuesday and. to our sur-
prise he was not in a very good
frame of mind. We looked ta
see if the back door was locked
and if we could get away, but
everything was against us. He
stated that the News had done
him a great wrong. We stated
that he had attended the Repub-
lican convention at Fort Worth
when he did not. He is an old
time Democrat and says he shall
ever be. We though for a min-
ute and as Rev. Wright who has
been assisting us in the local de-
partment for a few weeks, was
absent we laid all the blame on
him, apologized, and all was
well. Mr. Brannin then depart-
ed for Grace singing praises of
Joe Bailey, Colquit and all other
big democrats, and we believe
he even invited us out to see
him.

It is reported that sheriff Brit-
ton was bitten by a dog the first
of this week that was supposed
to be mad. While it was only a
slight scratch on his hand, the
dog is being closely watched and
it is to be hoped that it is a mis-
