Let us incorporate the town.
The advertiser who lias the
right kind of ail advertise-
ment and delivers what lie ad-
vertises, gets the business.
A bill was introduced in
the senate Monday making
it a felony to sell intoxicating
drinks in a local option terri-
tory. Of course the bill will
fail to pass.
A move was inaugurated
this week to incorporate the
town. This is what has been
needed for some time, and we
hope the ball will be kept
rolling until the much desir-
ed end is reached.
The man who invites your
trade is entitled to it because
he challenges your good busi-
ness judgment to pass on the
merits of his goods and his
prices, and risks your judg-
ment to make his sales. No
catch penny business for liiin.
Thanks are tendered Con-
gressman Dies for regular is-
sues of ' the Congressional
Record during the present
session of congress. These
will be kept 011 file in this
office, and any one desiring to
iuspect any member can do so
by calling for same.
Hon. Geo. B. Terrell has
been appointed chairman of
the committee 011 penitentia-
ries and is also a Member of
the committees cm revenue
and taxation, banks and bank
ing, and the committee 011 ag-
riculture for the special sess-
ion of the legislature. This
:V§ ar iftafk'ed tribute and a
proper recognition by the
speaker of the house for his
long service in the house of
representatives.
Incorpation will do much
toward upbuilding the town.
Let us all get busy and form
a municipal government for
the town.
Legal lights at Austin de-
clare the special election to
choose a successor to H. Has-
com Thomas, the expelled
senator, will be illegal and
void, because the prescribed
twenty days noticc, by posting
in cacli precinct in the dis-
trict the call for such election,
was not given.
It pays to read the adver-
tisements of our enterprising
merchants. They get in a
new stock cf goods and then
tell you attout it so that you
can come in ry.d satisfy your
wants without any delay, and
you get the goods at once.
The fellow who is always
harping on what good times
there used to be.—how much
easier it was to get a start in
life and how much faster a
person couid make money, is
usually the fellow who will
sit around liaif his time, whit-
tle a pine stick, cuss the gov-
ernment from city to national,
and the other half of his time
try to knock the props from
an)' and everything for the
good of his town.
The cocklebur, which has
long been despised and revil
ed, has now become a thing of
value. Along Black river in
Louisiana it is being gather-
ed for shipment to an oil mill
at Vidalis, for the purpose of
extracting the oil. The mill
temporarily is paying twelve
dollars per ton for the weed,
but if the experiment proves
successful has agreed to pay a
better price tliau that. Cock-
lebtirs grow wild in this coun-
try in he greatest prolusion
and if the weeds can be made
as valuable as that, there is
110 reason why a great indus-
try in this line should not be
built up.
Where can you invest mon-
ey more profitably than by
buying a bottle of Prickly Ash
Bitters? You get four for one.
