Road Election.
Rendham, Dec. 11, 1911.
My! what a nice rain we have
had; and what a blessing to the
grain sowers of our county, and
also for the ones who wish to re-
main here through the year 1912.
Now to make the smile broader
on our faces we will try to carry
this road election, and if success-
ful, what a grand thing it will be
for the people of Baylor county.
We stand greatly in need of
something to stem the tide until
another year, and if this election
carries, as I surely hope it will,
what more can the farmer ask.
He can get the all needful work
to get his supplies all through
this hard-time crisis, and "yes,"
to also pay his debts. Is it graft
i for the merchant to hope men
who owe them for supplies can
get work so they can settle their
debts? I say no. I am sorely
afraid, Mr. Flint, if we keep Mr,
; Merchant waiting until that
bright and prosperous year you
speak of and let our list of
"debts" pile up 'till that time to
pay him, he instead of the farm-
J er will be as you say, all in, down
and out.
I, as well as others, read Mr.
Parker's little say and also the
editor's reply and felt like say-
ing hurrah, for no more appro-
priate answer could he have giv-
en. It may be that Mr. Flint
and Stevens were only trying to
find something to read and did
not catch the true meaning of
Mr. Parker's "say" a^^C'^the
editor's reply.
Hush grumbling, ge'< dowlri to
honest, hard thinking and I stop
listening to the fanatics' who
think they are going to be ruined
l»y the increased taxation and of
the "heavy burden" we, as they
think, are going to leave on the
shoulders of our children. Get to
thinking, I say, go and vote for,
instead of against the bond is-
sue; and then go to work and
I catch some of the money that
will be turned loose in Baylor if
this issue carries.
Yes Mr, Flint, every cloud has
its silvery lining, and I think
that money in the county placed
in such a manner that the farmer
could get hold of it would be the
silver lining to the dark cloud
that lias hungover our fair coun-
ty this year.
Nine cents on the $1'K) worth
will not be a very great increase
in taxes, will it, Mr. Land Own-
er; especially, as you do not give
in your land on the tax lists at
any great amount. And, Mr.
Renter, if your taxes are as light
as those of your humble servant,
• even if we stay here the required
forty years, we will riot have to
i "dig up" enough to hurt us. One
dollar now will be equal to three
in that coming bright year Mr.'
Flint speaks of. For "a bird in >
jthe hand is worth two in the
I bush."
So it is up to you to go and vote
Dec. 16th, and if you vote for the
issue to carry, stop howling hard .
times, go to work and get up a
good, old "sweat." And if you;
! vote against the bonds, stop:
howling hard times, and sneak !
behind the door or bed or any-
where to get out of sight when
wife says, "John, flour is out and
you w ill have to go and get us
something to eat," and pay for
it next good year we have.
Which side are you on? If not
right, get right, and more pros-
perous times will come to this
benighted land. 1 am,
Yours for succes,
A Rendham Voter.

JEWELER AND OPTICIAN
Embury Baccus says A. and
M, College is a mighty fine place
and a lot of good things are
taught there. He says one thing
we need in this country very
badly is silos. At Bryan the
corn crop last summer was a
failure, but did not prove an en-
tire loss. The stalks were cut
and put in the silo where they
make fine green feed for the
winter. The silo is aig tight.
Feed is cut up and packed in
and loses none of its substance
by drying out.

J, E. and Sherili Weathers
pulled up stakes last week and
left for Frio county, forty miles
west of San Antonio. The change
was not made because that is any
better country, but on account of
the health of Mrs, Weathers. We
hope that this will be better arid
that their fortunes in general will
be secured. They are exceeding-
ly good people and their many
friends bid them goodbye regret-
fully. Mr. Weathers says he be-
lieves the best people in the world
live in Baylor county.

I will positively allow no hunt-
ing on my farm four miles west
