We don't see any one graveling
the sidewalks.
Did you say, you knew the
street you live on?
There is nothing bad in this
weather when, we think-how
much worse it it mightbe:'
Every one look,out or the may-
or will get you if you shoot fire-
works on the streets without the
permission of Mayor J. B. Wolf.
Every child in town has a guess
coming, as to what he or she will
receive on Christmas, the larger
the paternal pocket book the
more guesses.

The expression made by the
business men, when asked for^e
News for publication, are as va-
rious as anyone could wish to hear
and not be able to publish.
We are sending out several pa-
pers over the state to editors and
proprietors, of which we consider,
first class newspapers, and from
several have received compli-
. mentary notes in which many say
that they have placed us on their
X list. If you mean it, let them
come.
j;. The only consolation that we
can receive from the rain and
; mud is, that we will have plenty
moisture for the coming crops,
and if our Christmas trade Is not
so good we will make It up from
the prosperity that will come to
our farmer friends the coming
year. h r ■ , ■
,, Our carrier boys, we believe,
are doing their best to find your
homes so as to deliver the Daily.
If you are not getting it please
phone or tell us the name of some
one near you who is receiving the
paper, and we will give the boys
particular instructions so you may
be a reader of the News. '
Suppose we talk fixing up our
streets and' sidewalks. Speak to
_ . - - £ 1.7.
the ones who should see that this
is attended to. It is not "wrong
to find out why they are not look-
ed after. We believe that our
City Council and Aldermen will
assist in coming to some agree-
ment to their betterment and the
satisfaction of the tax payer.
The people who come to our city
with teams, in the rain and hitch
in the public places' provided, or
let them stand, should remember
that animals suffer from thecpljj
rians as Well as themselves. They
will loose more flesh than it e*ets
in grain to replace, and it woted
be money in their pockets Wpk-
And His LuAMe Anbition to b«
Governor of Texas.
So far we have heard very lit-
tle said in praise of either of the
already announced candidates for
governor. Not long ./since We
read an interview of Hon. Monta
J. Moore in the Milam County
Enterprise, in which we would
infer that he had an anxious eye
on the governor's seat, We be*
lieve'that a better man for the
place could not be found, and we
would suggest a compromise on
Mr, Moore, and put him in for
governor. We have had the
pleasure of meeting him in vari-
ous Democratic conventions in
this state, and we have always
fdund him true to principles of
Democracy and a man o f the
whole people. The people of Tex.
would make no mistake in select-
ing the Hon. Monta J. Moore as
the standard bearer of our State
government.—Troy Enterprise.
Wiiile Monta J. Moore has not
yet announced himself for the
office of Governor, our pride
1
in our city and county, will
never cause us to oppose him in
anything he may wish to attain.
We are proud of the fact, that
we have among us a man who
feels equal to the enormous task
of giving us a government of the
State of Texas, of the people and
for the people.
We have heard the good words
spoken of him by the Citizens of
this town, and we have, to yet
hear anyone say anything derog-
atory to his manly principles qr
ambition. While we have only
had the pleasure of meeting hirri
but once. Since becoming a fellow
townsman we were impressed by
his familiarity, and acquaintance
among all our people rich or
poor. ; .
;4' Even should he not accept or
receive the nomination he has
bnefited the city of Cameron and
Milam Co. for there is not a paper
published in the State of Texas
which has taken up this subject
but what has had .to tell, "that
he was a citizen of Cameron and
Milam County" and which has
caused hundreds tb look up the
map, to find out Our resourses
and population, an'd wonder that
we could furnish, material to fill
the chair of Governor of our
State. He is a lawyer of exceed-
ing ability, a manofgreai energy,
ambition, and home love, he loves
his State with an exceeding
great love, and w;ould do all in
his power to give us a clean ad-
ministration ,t o which every
citizen could point to with pride.

Why On* Man la Now Careful About
Stamping Envelop**.
"I know a man who lost a good
job once by doing that," said the
tall, slim man in the lobby of the
Stafford. ■ ' %
"Doing what?" asked the short,
fat {nan who was putting a stamp
on an envelope.
i "Why," said the tall man, "stick?
ing a stamp on lopsided."
"You don't say!"
"I do," said Harold D. Btauf-
fer of New Orleans. "It happened
that I was the young man. It was
not so many years ago either. A pa-
per in Galveston had advertised for
a proofreader in 1893, and at that
tiipe I was out of work and needed
a place badly. The salary was good,
the work congenial, and 1 had enjoy-
ed some little experience at it with
satisfaction to myself. So I wrote
a formal application, addressed the
envelope and hurriedly stuck a
stamp on about a quarter of an inch
northeast of the proper position and
rigzaggy across tno top. A few days
later 1 received this answer:
"Dear Sir—Tour application has been
placed on Hie; but, while all other qualifi-
cations seem to bo present, the caroless-
nesa Indicated by the manner In whlcHT
you affixed your stamp may, unfortunate-
ly, be on Index to the character of your
work, and wo may frankly say that the
circumstance will be token Into consider-
ation in reaching' a decision.
"You , could have knocked me
down with a feather. I had no idea
of a stamp except as carrying agent
for the letter, and whether I placed
it upside down, sideways to, criss-
cross or on edge so long as it carried
the letter did not appeal to me as
material. J wrote and explained
that the position of the stamp was
not a character index and suggested
the unfairness of the conclusion, as
the stamp might have been put on
by my office boy. An answer came
Jn due time. Such deeply personal
letters, the writer said, \fere not
trusted to offico boys by careful men.
Argument: The office boy plea was
merely another indication of possi-
ble carelessness. Now, whether that
man was having fun with mo oi
really took the matter so seriously 1
don't know, but I do know one
thing."
''What's that?"
"I didn't get the job."—Baltimore
News.
A Cttrfottt Complaint.
As a cross examiner John Pliflpot
Curran, the .famous Irish orator and
lawyer, was unrivaled. He was in-
genious, says Barry O'Brien in his
book of reminiscences entitled "Irish
Memories," witty, trenchant, raking
a witness by the Are of raillery or
overwhelming him by a series of per-
plexing questions.
"My lord," cried one of his vic-
tims, "I cannot answer Mr. Curran.
He "is putting me in such a dol-
drum."
"A doldrum I" exclaimed th«
judge. "What is a doldrum, Mr.
Curran T*
"Oh, my lord," replied Curran, "it
is a common complaint with persona
-like witness. It is a confusion
ot the head arising from a corrup-
tion of thg
Kmomt Htmphy Wott.
When the late Dir. Bartlett of Wo-
burn was pension examiner under
the Cleveland administration he was
one day examining witnesses. He
asked one of them:
"Terence- McCarty, do you swear
that you know the applicant, Mi-
chael Murphy, who has made appli-
cation for an increase of pension?"
"You may well sav that I d6," said
Terence. "Me and him were shot
in the tame leg at Antietam."—
