The North Texas State Nor-
mal College reopened December
31, after a ten day's vacation
and all of the students are work-
ing with greater zeal and enthu-
siasm.
The secretary reports a high-
er average grade last term than
ever before in the history of the
school.
The college has an enrollment
of over six hundred students,
which is a small number com-
pared with last year. The small
attendance is -due to the large
Senior Class last year and also
due to financial conditions. The
Senior Class is unusually small,
as this .is the first year of the
new four year's course, but the
enrollment of one hundred and
eighty in the Junior class leads
us to expect a large Senior class
next year.
Miss Mary Sweet of Brown-
wood has accepted a position in
the English Department. Miss
Sweet is a graduate of the State
University, where she held fel-
lowship in Education in 1912-13.
Miss Harriss, the new direc-
tor of Physical Education, has
started the Camp Fire Girl
Movement here. The girls are
very interested, as is shown by
the fact that six camps have
been organized.
A Football Team was orga-
nized this year for the first
time. They made a fine record,
which was very gratifying for
their first attempt.
The Basket Ball season has
now begun. Many games with
other colleges have been ar-
ranged for this season. The
first game was played with Tex-
as Christian University, Decem-
ber 14, 1914. The score was 21
to 11 in favor of our college.
Dr. Payne, professor in the
English Department of the
State University, gave an inter-
esting lecture to the students
January 22, 1915.
The students from Hill and

ty is represented by the follow-
ing students: John ftolton,

Mr. M. Harding,
Dallas, Texas,
Dear Sir: In reply to your
letter of the 5th inst, asking me
for my experience with GOL-
DEN ROD. I beg to say in reply
that I have been handling GOL-
DEN ROD since February, and
I am more than pleased with
results. Since that time I have
handled on an average of a full
car per month, and it has given
better satisfaction than any
like food for stock that I have
ever handled, and in every in-
stance it has repeated and con-
tinues to repeat. I particularly
recommend it for milk stock.
As a milk producer I don't think
it has a superior. This too is
the experience of various dairy-
men and small feeders in this
community.
I am sorry that I overlooked
your letter and delayed my an-
swer.
Yours very truly,
(Signed.) Jno. A. Brown.
long.
Well come on boys and let's
try and get our name off the de-
merit board this week. I am
sure we can. for there's nothing
like trying.
Well as this is my first time
I will close, hoping to do better
next time.
Come again.
Little John.

Whoever has lived four score
years on this "bank and shoal
of Time," has lived over the
most wonderful period in the
world's history; the period that j
stands out in bold relief against1
the background of all the Past, j
eclipsing all material achieve- j
ments of any age since human
history was recorded.
Our esteemed townsman, Mr.
J. B. Thompson at the end of the
Boulevard, north, celebrated his
eightieth anniversary last Mon-
day, having been born January
25, 1835, near Baltimore, Md.
Early in life he moved with his
parents to Alabama, and in 1877
he came t5 Texas, and to what is
now Freestone county.
When he was 19 years old he
could pick up a 550 pound bale
of cotton with two hooks and
carry it around on his back with j
the ease '/the average man will •
carry a bag of wheat. And j
when he went hunting the folks j
at home could always tell how i
many times he had emptied his
rifle by.the number of squirrels j
or rabbits he brought back.
This propension for game as-!
serted itself last Monday after-
noon, the result being that |
those good fortune it is to sit at I
Mrs. Thompson's table were re-1
galed with choice squirrel pie, j
which was seasoned with remin-
iscences of hunting exploits that i
would have made Davy Crockett |
turn green with envy.
For industry, for fidelity of!
[purpose, for generosity and
I neighborly helpfulness a n d j
for domestic virtues we doubt
if Mr. Thompson's record can be j
excelled by that of any citizen
in the state.
May life yet have many hap-j
py returns of his birthday anni- j
versary, and may his cheer and)
kindly sympathy and thought- <
fuf regard for those of hisj
household and his friends be an !
inspiration to those who shall I
follow him. These, the felicita- j
tions of The Messenger.—Kir- j
ven Messenger.

Recognized Advantages.
You will find that Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy has recog-
nized advantages over most
medicines in use for coughs and
colds. It does not supress a
cough but losens and relieves it,
It aids expectoration and opens
the secretions, which enables
the system to throw off a cold,
i It counteracts any tendency of a
cold to result in pneumonia. It
contains no opium or other nar-
cotic, and may be given to a
child as confidently as to an
adult. For sale by all dealers.
Mrs. Tracy Beckham came up
from Teague Friday afternoon
to visit relatives for a few days.
Mrs. J. D. Murphy came,
down from Dallas Saturday af-
ternoon to visit Mr. and Mrs. W.
L. Murphy and her little son.
FOR THAT TERRIBLE
ITCHING.
Eczema, tetter and salt rheum ;
keep their victims in perpetual
torment. The application of i
Chamberlain's Salve will in-
stantly allay this itching, and i
many cases have been cured by
its use. For sale by all dealers.!

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, Ihe woman's
tonic. She says further: "Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, 1
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, 1 do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman's Tonic
a trial. i still use Cardui when 1 feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
fired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman-
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
