Ayer’s Hair Vigor is
certainly the most eco-
nomical preparation of its
kind on the market. A
little of it goes a long way.
It doesn’t take much of
it to stop falling of the
hair, make the hair grow,
and restore color to gray
hair.

The stock law election held in
the Precijhct No. 1 of Lamar
county (embracing Petty and
Forest Hill) on Saturday before
Christmas, resulted in in a large
majority for the law. Nearly
all of Lamar county is now under
the provisions of the stock law
and the horses and cows must
make preparations to stay at
home.
Marconi is sending two or
three messages across the At-
lantic every day by his wireless
system and reports that every-
thing is working very satisfac-
torily, Now that it is settled
that messages can be sent with-
out the aid of wires let some real
smart fellow discover that elec-
tions and political conventions
can be operated on the same
plan. _
It’s all a mistake about Bon-
ham people eating nothing but
rabbits. A half dozen young
men of that town are under ar-
rest charged with stealing a
bucket of oysters.
William J. Bryan’s paper, the
“Commoner,” has 140,000 sub-

If there’s any truth in Tennyson’s
statement that “the jingle of the
guineas helps the hurts that
honor feels,” Billy Bryan will
never shed a tear of regret over
his double defeat for the presi-
dency.
The state board of education
has made another apportionment
out of tho available school fund
for the current scholastic year
adding 10c per capita to the two
previous apportionments and
making a total of $5 per capita
for 1902-3,^equaling the previous
record breaker. With 759,673
children enumerated within the
scholastic age and the total ap-
portionment of $4.80 made on
September 1, the board added
10c on October 11 and 10c again

Washington, Dec. 29.—Presi-
dent Roosevelt’s Christmas pr es-
ents included the most motley
and undoubtedly the most ex-
tensive collection of bears, of ev-
ery size and condition, to be
found within the) confines of the
union. These bears came horn
all over the country, and range
from the small dancing bear in
the wood or ivory carving to the
most intricate f mechanical toy
yet devised in j this particular
sphere of animal} representation.
There are brown bears and black
bears enongh t<j> start a mimic

played on a table set apart for

called at the white house to go to

A Kansas mob undertook to
imitate southern folk and hung a
negro who had murdered a po-
liceman. With characteristic
Kansas freakishness, the mob
made a mess of the affair by
hanging the wrong negro. If
the Kansans are disposed to do
the right thing let them rectify
their mistake by proceeding to
hang the right man.

For years we have been -told
-from the pulpit and have read in
the papers that Americans have
made themselves a short-lived
people by traveling at a pace
that kills—that they go in too
great a rush, thereby weakening
their bodies, wrecking their
nervous systems and sending
themselves to the grave when
they ought to be in the prime of
life. The pulpit and press have
sounded the clarion notes of
warning against this American
habit of hurry and we have been
.-epeatedly informed that we
ust slow down our pace or be-
come a race of weaklings,strang-
ers to longevity. Now comes the

Th^New Year finds Texas up
arms against the common
enemy, the boll worm and the
boll weevil, and the fight promises
to be as warm and exciting as
the conflict between the Saracens
and Crusaders. The people have
been taught the lesson that cot-
ton cannot be successfully grown
so long as these pests continue
business, and it’s up to them to
put the insects out of business.
It will require an intelligent,
united effort, but the people are
determined and the pests will
have to go.
The war cloud which hangs
over Venezuela has not such an
angry countenance now as ten
days ^^o and the indications are
that it will soon give way to the
dove of peace. Great Britain
and Germany have agreed to ar-
bitration and Venezuela doubt-
less will- Of course the great
powers will get much the better
of the deal, and little Venezuela
which runs between Paris anc,
Sherman will soon run through
to Clarksville. No official in-
formation of the change has been
received but it is generally un-
derstood that the new arrange-
ment will begin at an early date.
If the change is made the morn-
ing train will probably arrive in

Another Definition.
A kiss is a peculiar proposi-
tion. Of no use to one, yst ab-
solute bliss to two. The small
boy gets it for nothing, the
young man has to steal it and
the old man has to buy it. The
baby’s right, the lover’s privilege,
the hypocrite’s mask. To a young
girl, faith; to a married woman,
hope;and to an old maid,charity.

A Gin Accident.
On Tuesday evening at Brooks
ton Luke Walker, an employe at
the gin there, met with an acci-
dent that will cripple him for life.
He was working around the gin

in a terrible manner. While his
wounds are not considered dan-
gerous, amputation will be neces-
