nervous, impatient,

neither strength nor

I had a place in my right side that was
so sore that I could hardly bear the
■weight of my clothes. I tried medicines
and doctors, but they did me little good,
and I never expected to get out again,

me. Put now I can work all day, sleep,
well at night, eat anything I want, have
no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells.
All pains, aches, fears and dreads are
gone, my house, children and husband
are no longer neglected, as I am almost
entirely free of the bad symptoms I had
before taking your remedies, and all is
f .easure and happiness in my home.

wearing apparel, which does net
look quite so well, or afford so much
comforti It is really an oppressive j
feeling to be attired In silk or
broadcloth, and southern people, to
some extent, are putting aside their
false fastidiousness and taking more
sensibly to modest and becoming
fabrics.
The ".Made in America Associa-
tion," is advocating the patronage of
cotton fabrics for gowns, while Mrs.
7.. 1. Fltzpatruk, who iniated the
"Buy Cotton Goods" campaign last
August, is renewing her efforts in
that direction through the Federated
Clubs of Georgia. Happily with the
popularity of the cotton gown eoims
n revival of the fashions of that pe-
riod which calls for flouncing, the
plait tugs, and all modes of trimming
to which cotton goods are especially
adaptable, thus making it easy for a
woman to be patriotic in patronage
of home fabrics and industry and at
the same time sacrificing in no w;i>
the modes of the moment.
The elaborate cotton gowns known |
as the "lingerie" gown, because of j
the fine handiwork . alltd for in their
fashion, have another advantage in
that they create work for an unus-
ual number of women seeking em-
ployment and finding practicable to
do that kind of work.
Aside from the patriotic and prac-
tical side of promoting the interests
of the cotton gown, there is the dis-
tinctly aesthetic side, for no gown yet
devolved is mere becoming to all wo-
men, and In no other costume do
they look more charmingly feminine
The Commissioners' «'ourt sold
for cash the balance of the McKln-
ne.v District flood |{o.ids bonds for
par and accrued Interest, less 4 por
ci nt commission. The amount of
bonds sold was $355,000.00. This net-
ted the county lit; cents on the dol-
lar. This was two cents more on the
dollar than was offered In any of the
bids opened May 0 and all rejected.
Judge Davis and his commissioners
realized 7-8 of a cent more for the
McKlnney bonds than did the Hunt
county court sell the Greenville dis-
trict bonds for recently. McLennan
ounty sold the Waco good road dis-
trict bonds for HO cents on the dol-
lar last year even before the Euro-
pean war broke out. Bell county sold
the Helton good roads bonds for only
94 cents. Therefore, Judge Davis
and his commissioners did exceeding-
ly well in disposing of these bonds at
the price they did under the financial
stringency that has prevailed ever
since the European war broke out
last August.

Congressman George F. Burgess of
Gonzales has announced for V. S
Senator, to take Senator Culberson's
place. For sixteen years he has rep-
resented the ninth district of Texas in
i'ongreso. He is an able man, and
will no doubt have a large following,

At any rate, there is no town In
north, south, east or west Texas, that
has anything on McKlnney. We are
going right ahead paving our |
streets, building good roads and
making other improvements. We
build while others wait. But this Is
the McKlnney way. Buy your a home
here.
Too much stress cannot be laid up-
on the garden hoe handle just now.
President Wilson says this country,
neither needs, or wants, any more
territory. The president must feel
nkt we do—enough. Is enough, and
too much is a dogs bait. If we
could shake 'he Philippine Islands
from our protective wins', our Nat-
ional peat- of mind would Ijj con-
siderably relieved.
Over Corsicana way there is a bank-
er, a real philantrophist, one who be-
lieves that all the good of life Is not
wrapped up In sordid interests and
Individual wealth. He has faith in
ills fellow man; lie believes In human-
ity; he loves his home state, county
and city. He believes there arc ro-
soiircis in Texas other than cotton,
il developed, would add to the wealth
of the state. He has always given en-
couragement to any laudable endea-
vor to enhance the opportunities of
ills city, county or state. Just now he
is advertising that he will furnish
thoroughbred brood sows for swine
ru sing to deserving and responsible
persons who wish to engage in the hog
Industry. All he exacts Is an honor-
able promise from the applicant that
lie will devote a reasonable amount
of his time to the care of hogs. This
man is not a swine breeder himself
and lias no hogs for sale, and every
one which he disposes of comes from
Fort Worth, where they are first
given an anti-cholera treatment.
These sows cost him in the neighbor-
hood of $20 00 each. But he has faith
both in the hogs and his fellownian.
It's about time to get busy on our

Reports from over the country ad-
jacent to Mi Kinney, bring encourag-
ing news concerning the wheat and
out crops. One "old timer' who has
| lived in this vicinity for more than
forty years, was heard to remark on
the -trcels of M> Kinney last Saturday,
that the pri.'pect for a bump*r yield
of both grains was never better. In
lact. it is the best he has ever known,
he said.
