k taorJ deceptive statement
- . than the one appearing over tM
signature of Joh^ S. Patterson
purporting to answer Kennedy
on Clerk Hire might be printed
bat it is doubtful. The truth is
Piftetton purposely and design-
edly attempts to deceive the peo-
ple. He has little enough sense
to believe that the people do not
kpow that it cost more in Clerk
ifire and fn "little expenses" for
afjjpe^ular session of the Legisla-
tures'" than for a called session,
but they do and they can't be
fooled by Patterson's misrepre-
sentations.
"itfow the facts are that the
House by a unanimous vote adopt
ed a resolution especially naming
the number of employes. In this
matter Kenndey had no vote
whatever. After almost a month
the House instructed Kennedy
to appoint six additional stenog-
raphers. The Speaker was the
servant of the House and did just
what the House ordered. Hut let
us see just which 00 days was
the most expensive to tin: peo-
ple—AS MEASURED BY T^E
WORK DONE.
For the GO days that Kennedy
was in the chair NINE HUN-
DRED and SEVENTEEN bills
resolutions, etc., were considered
in the House and in the Com-
mittees of the House.
For the CO days that Marshall
was Speaker only THREE HUN-
DRED AND NINETY-FOUR bills
and-' resolutions were considered
in the House and in the Commit-
tees.
Under Kennedy's administra-
tration the average cost per bill
or resolution introduced or con-
sidered was approximately* $74.
Under the Marshall administra-
tion the cost per bill or resolu-
tion was $139 or about twice as
much as under Kennedy. So we
stand pat upon the proposition
that Kennedy saved the people
many thousands of Dollars in the
rapid way that he dispatched
business. He could have done th(
work of both special sessions in
less than ;tO days, thereby saving
the people at about $47,0i>0 in
salaries.
waiting on the girl* at partief it
was not real nice to go in youp
ahirt sleeves with your sleeves
rolled up and your shirt bosom
unbuttoned and smoke eigaretts
and cigars in the house and puff
smoke in the girls faces grandma
would tell them to get outside <to
smoke which was right. There is
a difference in girls and boys ita
conceded that girls have confi-
dence in boys and when they go
with the boy* to the parties and
amusements they the girls look
upon the boys as rtieir protectors
and feel safe in the company of
the boys and a manly boy will
resent any proposition to a girl
to be rude and will protect her
at all risks—now girlq and boys,
this tteill be' enough for you all
to think about, till I come again.

COURTSHIP IN CHURCH.
A young gentleman happening
to sit in church in a pew adjoin-
ing one in which sat a young lady
for whom he conceived a sudden
and violent passion, was desirous
of entering into a courtship on
the spot; but the, place not suit-
ing a formal declaration, the exi-
gency of the case suggested the
following plan: He politely
handed his fair neighbor a Bible
(open) with a pin stuck in the
following text: Second Epistle
' of John, verse fifth—"And now
1 beseech thee, lady, not as
though I wrote a new command-
„ment unto thee, but that which
we had from the beginning, that
we love one another." She re-
turned it, pointing to the second
tchapter df Ruth, verse tenth —
*"Tl^en she fell on her face and
•bowed herself to the ground, and
said) unto him, 'Why have I
-fot&id grace in thine eyes, that
'thou shouldst take knowledge of
inc, mgeing that I am a strangerV
I He. j returned the book, pointing
• to^'lhe thirteenth verse of the
'Tlijird Epistle of John—"Having
! inanity things to write unto you, I
; would not write with paper and
' ink,, but I trust to come unto
^you; and speak face to face, that
!6ur;joy may be full." From the
;above interview a marriage took
■ pla^e the ensuing week.
ON BOYS AND GIRLS.

I am to talk to young society,
,the frying size and some a little
older. When I was growing up
a hundred years ago it was po-
lite to give all the Grandmas and

chimney corner looked good to
me, and it shows god breeding to
respect old age, then when I was

Mrs. J. C. McDonald, Commerci

seven years ago when living in
McDade, Mastrop county, I was
cured of a bad case of kidney
complaint by Doan's Kidney Pills
I had no return of my trouble un-
til a few months ago when I con-
tracted a cold which settled on
my kidneys. At that time my
back became so stiff and sore
that I could hardly straighten af-
ter stooping. The kidney secre-
tions were also too frequent in
passage and caused me annoyanct
I at length procured a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills at the Mexia
Drug Co., and after using them
for a short time, mv health was
greatly improved. I take great
pleasure in recommending Doan's

HER QUESTIONS STUNNED
HIM
One of our giddy youngsters of
the male persuasion recently de-
cided tn make a formal offer of
his heart and hand to one of our
representative ladies to whom he
had been paying some attention
for a time. He cautiously pre-
faced his declaration with a few
question*: Did she love him well
enough to live in a cottage with
him? Was she a good cook? Die
she think it a wife's duty to mak'
borne happy? Would she consult
his tastes and wishes concerning
her associates and pursuits of
life? Could she make her own
clothes?
The young lady said that b"-
fore she answered his questions
she would tell him of some nega-
tive virtues she possessed. She
never drank, smoked nor chewed;
never stayed out all night playing
billiards; never lounged on street
corners and ogled giddy girls;
never "stood in" with the boys
for cigars and wine suppers.
"Now." she said, rising, "I am
assured you do all these things,
and yet you do not possess any
yourself. I can never be your
wife," and she bowed him out,
and left him on the doorsteps to
silently meditate over his adven-
ture a wiser man.—Mason News.

A, CARD TO THE V
Of McLennan, Falls and Lime-
stone Counties.
After mature delibeeration I
have decided to make the race foi
Flotorial Representative , place
No. 2, Sixty-ninth district, and to
the end that the Democratic vot-
ers may know my views on some
of the leading issues now pending
in Texas I submit the following
information for their considera-
tion.
I am a Democrat, a strict ad-
herent to Jeffersonian Democracy
and believe in the greatest good
to tlie greatest number. Believ-
ing that, ithe very existence of our
party, its usefulness, depend? on
how well its representatives Wm-
ply with its wishes, I am heartily
in favor of complying with plat-
form demands. I am opposed to
a representative appropriating to
himself a superior virtue and wis-
dom to that of his party. If the
platform doesn't suit me, I'll get
down and out. Let the people
rule, is my idea of a Republic.
In regrad to the liquor ques-
tion, I am a Pro, ;ind am strictly
in favor of submission. 1 con-
sider that the next Legislature
will be under as strong obligat-ion
to the Democrats of Texas to sub-
mit the amendment ;fs was the
last.
I am a friend of public educa-
tion and will ever support all j
measures having for their aim the
betterment of our school system,
more especially the rural schools.
Our State Normals and particular
Iv the "A. & M. College should be
generously supported by the
State. We need to forsake the
trodden paths. The great, ques-
tion, wherewith shall we be fed
and clothed will soon present it-
self to the American people. We
need to snake two grains grow
where one has grown and two
bolls mature where one has ma-
' 11 red.
I want a liberal support for all
the elemosynarx institutions of
the State, especially for the or-
phan and the insane. Texas can
ii t afford to allow ->;i.'entless atii
friendless <   •' -1 • < .« <o grow rp
around our cities ti crime and
vice, neither should we longer
tolerate the disgrace of confin-
ing the insane iu jails, because
our asylums are not suficient for
their reception.
1 believe somewhat that crime
is a relative matter that the erim-j
inal always has some accomplices j
among whom may be mentioned;
the homes, the school, the church
and the State, that our penal in-
stitutions should be conducted so
as to reform the criminal, if pos-
sible. thereby restoring him to
a useful position in society rath-
er than sending him out in the
world steeled as it were, in his
opposition to law and order. Am
opposed to the lease system.
1 am in favor of encouraging
capital to come to Texas. We
have an abundance of raw niatcri
at and the grea tnatural resources
of the State are practically un-
developed. We are unnecessarily
sending millions of dollars an-
nually out of Texas fer manu-
factured products. This should
not be so. Our farmers need a
large surplus population if eon-1)
sinners and only iu the shadow!
of a factory are they to be found.
I a in 30 years old, have been a 1
teacher for eighteen years, fif-
teen of which has been in the
schools of McLennan and Falls
'•oimties. 1 believe that I am
worthy of your support and
should I be elected as your repre-
sentative I promise you that l!
will <lo everything in my power!
to further Texas and her inter-!
est and will stand four square on j
all the moral issues that may bej
presented to the Legislature. |
Thanking you in advance for;
your support, I am,
Yours respectfully,
JOE F. COFFEY.

A NICE ENTERTAINMENT.
The entertainment given at the
city hall Saturday night by Joe
Johnston Camp No. 94, United
Sons of Confederate Veterans
was an excellent one and was
highly appreciated by those who
attended.
Owing to the fact that it was
Saturday night and the stores re-
mained open until late, and that
there was a protracted meeting
and a moving picture show in
town, the crowd was not a very
large one but there were quite a
number present. Some beautiful
Vocal solos wer? rendered by
.Misses Doyle and Neale, and
.Messrs. Nussbaum and Neale,
with Misses Park and Oates ac-
companists at the piano, a soul
stirring rendition oi "Dixie" by
Mrs. -John I-iZell. three good
speeches by Rev. Haggard. Capt.
(Jibson and Dr. Jackson com-
prised the program for the even-
ing and that the audience was
pleased was manfiseted by their
liberal applause. Before the bene
diction by the Chaplain, the
young men present were extendec
an invitation to become members
of the Camp and several gave tin
their names.

sition will be given an oppor-
