The Secret Of Long Life,
A French scientist has discov
ered one secret of long life. His
method deals with the blood.
But long ago millions of Ameri-
cans had proved Electric Bitters

living. It purities, enriches and
aitalizes the blood rebuilds Wast-
ed nerve cells. imparts life and
tone to the entire system. Its
a godsend to weak. sicK and de-
bilitated people. "Kidney trou-
ble had blighted my life for
months," writes W. M. Sher-
man, of Cushing, Me., "but
Electric Bitters cured me en-
tirely." Only 50c at all druggists
means of an announcement
that effect at each performance
and through the columns of this
paper. As a result of this, one of
the largest crowds that ever as
sembled in Mesquite was hereto
witness the event, many people
coming from Rose Hill, Lawson,
New Hope, Ivleburg, Rylie, Elam
land other surrounding com-
J in unities.
However, much to the disap-
j pointment of the crowd, and es-
! pecially to the citizens of Mes-
1 quite, who were anxious for the
balloon to go up for the benefit
of the visitors from out of town,
the atfempt resulted in a failure
on account of the high wind. In
justice to the company, however,
it must be said that they made
every possible effort to inllate
the balloon sufficiently to make
the ascension and they showed
that they were keenly disappoint-
ed as were any of those who had
assembled to witness the event.
The troupe left here Sunday
afternoon for Crandall.

Card of Thanks.
We wish to sincerely thank all
our friends who so kindly assist-
ed us during the last illness and
death of our dear mother. '
Everything that kind and lov
ing hands could do, was done to
make our burden lighter and
soothe the awful pain she suffer-
ed. We will ever hold in kind
and loving rememberanceallwho
assisted in any way.
Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Bryant.
Resolutions of Sympathy.
Balloon Failed to Go Up.
The East India Medicine Co.
closed their engagement here
Saturday night, having given con- ]ate his good qualities.
Whereas the Methodist Sun-
day School of Mesquite, Texas,
has been bereaved by the death
of one of its most faithful mem-
bers, John Shawver.
Therefore be it resolved:
First. That we humbly bow
in submission to the will of our
Heavenly Father, who doath all
things well, knowing that our
loss is John's gain. By taking
our young friend, we are remind
; ed the young must die as well as
! the old.
Second. That in the death of
this boy, our Sunday School has
lost one of its most loyal mem-
bers, and that we will love and
cherish his memory, and emu-
cert and vaudeville performances
at the K. of P. hall every night
during the week. Good crowds
were in attendance every night
except the last one, the slim at-
tendance on that night being at-
tribute,able, to the inclemency of
the weather. As stated in our
last issue, they gave a very suc-
cessful balloon ascension Wednes-
day afternoon and announced that
another ascension would be made
on Saturday afternoon. Notice of
this was give wide publicity by
Third. That these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of
our Sunday School, that a copy
be sent to the town paper and a
copy be sent to the bereaved
family.

The Mesquite Cemetery As-
sociation was reorganized in 1904
and has just completed its fifth
year's work.
The following is a report of ex-
penses and dues collected:
Expenses, 1904, §146.50

1906, 77.45
1307, 29.25

1906, 42.25
1907, 18,00
1908, 14.50
Total $16725
The dues have not paid quite
half the expenses. There are
110 who own lots in the cemetery,
and last year they averaged pay-
ing 1 iV cents each.
We do not believe this is will-
ful neglect. We think our people
are too generious and too noble
minded, but it is due to careless-
ness.
We ask each one for one dollar
and if wo could collect two thirds
of it, with what little we make
ourselves, we could keep the
cemetery in good shape.
This work has been carried on
by about six members. The
general public has taken so little
interest that we are becoming
discouraged. We have been
criticised by a few for not doing
more. Our critics are usually the
ones who neither help nor pay
heir dues; we are not satisfied
ourselves with what we have ac-
complished, but we feel that we
have done about all we could un-
der the circumstances.
Five years ago the cemetery
was one solid mass of weeds and
briers and with nothing to mark
the walks and driveways. We
kindly ask the Co-operation of
all interested, and thank the few
who have given us their generous
aid.
Any ore desiring to pn.v ihe.'r
dues can leave same at bunk.

Entire Week, Monday, Feb. 22
At the Dallas Opera House,
Dallas, February 22, William A.
Brady and Joseph R. Grismer's
production, "The Man of the
Hour," will open a week's engage-
ment, with matinees Wednesday
and Saturday. It comes with
the same great company which
crowded this theater for four
nightslastseason, which includes
John S. Robertson, Felix Haney,
Louis Hendricks, Neil Moran,
Homer Barton, Albert Latocha,
Wm. Lloyd, Alex G. Carleton,
Murdoek J. MacQuarrie, S. F.
Cairns, Wm. Cullington, and the
Misses Ruby Bridges, Evelyn
Moore, Ethel Brandon. This is
the play that ran for two years
at Savoy Theater, New York City,
six months Illinois Theater, Chi-
cago, and five months each in
Boston and Philadelphia.
The play treats of the political
game and all its meshes of wire
pulling and trickery. The story
is an interesting one, the charac-
ters are all cleverly drawn, par-
ticularly those of the two rival
political "bosses." The dialogue
is snappy and generously sprin-
kled with wit of the particular
kind thot Mr. Broadhurst has
ready to hand. In fact, Mr.
Broadhurst has written a play
that gives promise of living,
which has been proved by the
two years' run in New York, and
the wonderful business it did
here on its last visit.
The story tells how Alwn Ben-
nett is made mayor of the city
by Charles Wainwright, a iinen-
cier, ard Richard Horrigan, a
corrupt "boss," because the two
worthies want him to sign a bill
that gives them a street railway
franchise in perpetuity. But
when Bennett gets in controle of
the city government, he cannot
see thinge quite the way Wain-
wright and Horrigan hoped he
would, and he vetoes the bill.
They try to farce its passage over
his head by a vote in committee,
and Wainwright lets Bennett
know that the latter's sweet-
heart, Dallas, will be ruined lyi-
less the franchise is granted, be-
cause he, (Wainwright) being the
girl's guardian, has invested all
her capital in the stqeh. But at
length Phelan, a rival of Horri-
gan, brings to light the fact that
Wainwright has wrecked and
plundered a friend of Garrison,
whose son discovers many evi-
dences of Wainwright's crooked
dealings and the bill is with-
drawn. Bennett and Dallas thus
find their path of love strewn
with roses.
President Roosevelt is quoted
as saying-" 'The Man of the Hour'
is the very best play I have ever
seen. I have met in public life
men just like the characters
shown in the play." ,
"A really great play."—Wm.
Jennings Bryan.
