Take advantage of the News
clubbing ofier. The News, Farm
and Ranch, and Holland's are a
mighty good combination^, Note
how cheap, too,
The Holland News is a new
one on our exchange table. It
is a lusty youngster and is start-
ing out witn a good patronage.
May it continue to prosper.
There is a man in Austin who
solemly declared that it was too
hot to go to church Sunday morn-
ing, but he found the grandstand
delightfully cool that same af-
ternoon," remarks the Austin
Statesman.
At a recent meeting of bishops
of the Methodist Church ^Soiith
objections were made in accept-
ing the gift of $1,000,000 from
Andrew Carnegie to the Vander-
bilt Medical College. "We are
unwilling," staled the bishops,
"that Mr. Carnegie should be
deceived as that the university
should be|dismembered and the
church of God dishonored."

"Tight waists, tight collars
and tight shoes have done more
to keep women behind the pro-
cession than lack of their legal
rights," writes Edna K. Wooley.
And Edna K. Wooley has said a
good deal that is true.—Dallas
Times-Herald. And tightwads
have, done more, to keep their
towns behind the procession than
floods, fire and famines. —Bryan
Eagle.
Killeen has a preacher who
believes in extensive advertising.
The job department of this pa-
per has just turned out some
big placards for him which carry
the picture of his church, togeth-
er with a hearty welcome to ev-
erybody to attend services there,
giving the hour of the different
services, etc. These cards he
will have framed and distributed
throughout the different business
houses of the town and all other
places of frequent gatherings.
This is an age of advertising and
we think the brother's idea in
this respect original and the re-
sults almost certain. — Killeen
Herald.
"The mouth is the front door
to'the face. It is the aperture
to the cold storage of the anato-
my Some mouths look like
peaches and cream, some like a
hole in a mud fence. The mouth
is the hotbed for the toothache
and the bunghole for oratory,
the mouth is the crimson aisle to
the liver, it is patrotism's found-
ation and the tool chest of pie.
Without the mouth a politician
would be a wonderer on the face
of the earth and go down to an
unhononred grave. It is the gro-
cer's friend, the orator's pride
and the dentist's hope. It has
put some men on the rostrum
and some in jail. It is the temp-
tations lunch counter, when at-
tached to a maiden, and tobacco's
friend when attached to man.
It is the home of unruly member
the tongue . Without it married
life would be like a summer
dream and a dude would lose
half his attraction."
Temple did not get such a pas-
senger depot as had been hoped
for, at the hands of the M. K. &
T. officials, but the structure
now opened to the public is so
much better than the old one
that there is cause for rejoicing.
Taken in connection with the lib-
eral policy of that road in help-
ing pave the thoroughfare from
depot to town and the further
paving and beautifying done in
vicinity of the depot, the Katy
has done very well for one year.
They will have to set aside the
present depot in the near future
and build one commensurate with
Temple's importance but that is
a trouble of tomorrow. Today
there is rejoicing and mutual
congratulations. —Temple Tele-
gram.
It is not enough to swat the
fly. The harm has been done
when they are allowed to breed.
They should be starved and not
allowed to breed, by removing
everything in the way of filth in
which they can breed. After the
fly is hatched it is too late to be-
gin war on him. He should nev-
er be allowed to get here. Mil-
lions upon millions killed every
day hardly makes a showing in
diminishing their number. The
greatest safety lies ijv not allow-
ing , them to breed. Like mos-
quitoes, they must have breed-
ing places. Do away with these
and you have done away with
the flies.—Colorado Record.
Stores to Close.
We, the undersigned business
men of Granger, agree to close

Tke Smill-To wn Merchant's
Opportunity.
The 3,030 local weekly papers
of Texas, New Mexico, Oklaho-
ma, Arkansas and Louisiana
have a combined circulation of
2,617,920 copies. Allowing a
conservative estimate of five
readers for each copy each week,
these papers reach and are read
by 13,500,000 people.
The country paper, for the
most part, goes to a class of peo-
ple whose reading is largely lim-
ited—the farmer folk—people
who haven't so easy access to
the big dailies and the hundreds
of magazines. Its weekly visit
is a heralded event in the family
life, and there is a scramble
each time for a turn at reading
its interesting pages. It is loan-
ed to a neighbor with the strict
injunction to "be sure and take
good care of it" It is read and
reread from headline to the last
patent medicine reader at the
bottom of the last column on the
last page.
There was a time when the
country newspaper was looked
upon merely as a convenience
for the publishing of local gos-
sip, obituaries, resolutions, and
the opinions of "Junius," "Vox
Populi" or "A Subscriber." Ad-
vertising patronage was given it
as a matter of charity or from a
public spirit impulse, and not as
a matter of business.
But that time is past. The
country newspaper is now a rec-
ognized business institution and
its editor-manager is a recogniz-
ed business man in the communi-
ty. The news and various com-
munications are still published
and the effort is to get more of
them because it is good business,
and the local merchants put
their advertisements in the
home paper because it pays.
The country newspaper shop
nowadays is as well equipped
for its field as is the most mod-
ern plant of the big city daily.
Almost without exception the
local merchant who is enjoying
the biggest business is the one
who uses most persistently and
consistently the space of the , lo-
cal newspaper. It stands with-
out argument that the man who
gets the people's patronage is
the man who carries what the
people want and lets them know
he has it And what more ef-
ficient way is there for the mer-
chants of the Southwest the
country merchants, to reach the
people of their community than
through the local papers with
their thirteen and a half millions
of readers?
The country merchant will do
well to study the wants of the
people whose business he would
have. He will do well to carry
in stock the lines and brands of
goods they demand—the named,
widely-advertised lines. He will
do equally as well to tell the peo-
ple of what he has for them
through carefully prepared ad-
vertisements in his local news-
paper.
Concerning Emancipation Cele-
bration on July 5.

ses of the band, speaking, privil-
eges of ground and base ball
