Confederates via T. A, & L,
There is considerable talk of
read improvement, R. T. Ho-
gan has a subscription list for
the improvement of the road be-
tween Atlanta and Queen City.
This is a laudable enterprise.
After this road has been built,
let the work be continued.
The Naples Monitor now
comes out with the names C. A.
& C. W. Kesseler at the mast
head. They have purchased
the plant from B. R. Watts.
The present owners are well
known in Cass county. The pa-
per already shows a marked im-
provement.
Brother,are you preparing to
live at home next year without
giving a mortgage?
We believe Atlanta is in the
midst of the oil and gas field.
If the present experiments
prove successful, you will wish
you had bought some property
while it is at a reasonable price.
This is a good time time to buy
property in and around Atlanta.
Ballard local Farmer's «Un

live subjects at their regular
meetings. Every country school
house should be the center for a
literary and debating society.

Middling cotton sold in Texas
at 14 cents, when the 1908 crop
promised three and a half mil-
lion bales, and when the total
for this country bid fair to reach
13 million bales. Now when the
total for the South is known to
be two or three million bales
shy, cotton goes at about 10
cents. This is one of the rea-
sons why\ the farmer knows
there is a conspiracy to rob him,
and accounts for his determina-
tion to fight the conspiracy to a
finish.

CONTEST CLOSES
I want to say to those who are contesting
for my GRAPHOPHOIVES that have
been advertised in the News since Jan-
uary last, that the contest will come to
a close on the 15th of June 1908. All
those who have tickets in said contest,
will bring them in by the 15th of June
1908. After that date they will not
be counted as I do not expect to contin-
tinue this premium any longer than
the date above mentioned. Please
govern yourselves accordingly.

Atlanta Mothers Should Not

town Tuesday.
Most children have weak kidneys
The earliest warning is bed-wet-^
ting.
Later comes backache, headache,
languor.
'Tis a mistake to neglect these
troubles,
To blame the child for its own
distress.
Seek to cure the kidneys—
Save the child from the deadly
kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick:
kidneys.
Atlanta parents recommend
them.
Joshua Stephens, farmer, R.
F. D. No. 4, three and a half
miles west of vAtlauta, Texas,
says: "My little girl about 10 yrs.
old, was annoyed from early
childhood with a weakness of
the kidneys and of the bladder.
She was troubled worse at night
and often the secretions looked
like milk. I spent a good deal
of money trying to get some- i
thing to cure her,ana had about; ^j0!U|ay
given up all hope when I heard ,
of Doan's Kidney Pills and got
a box at Nipper Bros.' drug
store. The first few doses help
ed her, and we have continued
their use until she has shown
wonderful improvement, and I
have no doubt of a fiualcure."

To Democrats of Cass County
We congratulate the people
that the great internal strife in j
the ranks of Democracy is a
thing of the past and the ver-j
diet rendered on Saturday, Mayj
2, should be final. A g r e a t|
many harsh and cruel things
were said and many wounds in- i
llcted. Both sides to the bitter
contest said and did things that
should have been left unsaid or
undone. Be that as it may, the
light is over and we should one
and all now close up the hiatus
and work for the common good
and future success of the Demo
cratic party. We should all put j
our shoulders ta tin wheel and
push the old Democratic ship to
final victory. Not only in state;
and county affairs, but national
as well. We should no longer
give a willing ear to the voice of
discontent, vituperation or slau
