The National Drainage Asso-
ciation is making an effort to
turn the attention of the nation-
al government to the reclama-
tion of the swamps and overflow
lands of the United States of
which there are aproximately
eighty millions of aores. It is
estimated that these lands would
furnish homes for two million
farmers. It is also claimed that
these swampy places should be
drained on account of their pest-
ilential character if for no other
reason, as they are the home of
mosquitoes and malaria.
General William Booth, com-
mander-in-chief ot the Salvation
Army declares that the end of
high wages and extravagant liv-
ing is in sight. He says as the
population increases, the physi-
cal standard of living must be
lowered. The venerable leader
failed to state how it must be
done.
It is reported on good authori-
ty that Senator Robert M. La
Follettehas expressed his deter-
mination to have his name pre-
sented to the next National Re-
publican convention as a candi-
date for the presidency.
Since the gross receipt tax law
of the Thirtieth legislature went
into effect, the sale of six-shoot-
ers have been restricted to a
certain extent but the hip-pock-
et arsenals are still in vogue as
evidenced by the daily accounts
of deaths from this source.
Ben Lilly, a Texas hunter, who
has joined the Presidential hunt-

he arrived in camp.

Alvarado, Tex. October 3. ‘07.
Mr. Editor:—
I see in your paper an article
headed, ‘Since Limestone went
wet,” the first declaration of
which is that Groesbeck is on a
‘quiet’ boom. Just under this I
noticed that Mexia’s lock-up is
running over with men and wom-
en charged with drunkeness.
That sounds more like it. Sev-
eral new enterprises, I notice,
are given to Groesbeck, among
which are three saloons. The
people of Groesbeck have plenty
of children to sell and their blood
will bring the speculators a hand-
some sum of money, ^regardless
of the cries of those victims be-
fore their God at His supernal
throne.
And the town is being inhabit-
ed rapidly? Yes, of course the
drinking class of people will rush
in and try to locate their wives
and children as close to those
‘•hell holes” as possible and the
business men will stand by and
support these abomnible nuisan-
ces as long as there is a dime in
sight. We don’t wonder at the
financial part picking up but how
about the moral question, to say
nothing of the religious side of
life. Yes I, in my fanoy, can
see the new brick side walks and
as I walk over them I hear the
crushing of bones and the splash
ing of blood with which they are
purchased.
Poor old Limestone, she is a
dear friend of mine. Inside her
borders is located, at Tehuacana,
my ‘alma mater’ and as I look on
her bloody tragedy a volunteer
tear trickles dow my oheek. Me-
thinks I see Satin laying asleep
across the door of the Christian
homes. But peradventure some
good women are watching pray-
erfully over the little ones and
God will yet rescue them before
they go upon the altar to give
their lives to meet the satisfac-
tion of some lustful creature
whose God is his almighty dollar.
I am looking forward to the
time when prohibition will spread
her peaceful wings over the en-
tire universe and all Christians
will vote as they pray.

Concerning County Claims.
The News is in receipt of a cir-
cular from County Auditor, R.
W. Hunt, in which is set forth
the legal requirements of bids
that are to be submitted for sup-
plies and material for county
work as well as providing for the
time that claims against the coun-
ty should be filed.
All bills, claims and accounts
must be filed in time for the Aud-
itor to examine and stamp his
approval thereon before the
meeting of the commissioners
court, and if necessary, such ac-
counts must be verified by affi-
davit.
Bids are asked for on all sup-
plies and material for which the
county is required to pay, and
the purchase is to be made from
the lowest bidder, after filing
said bid with the auditor for re-
cord. Copies of all bids receiv-
ed shall be furnished by the
county auditor to county judge
and to the county commissioners,
and when the bids are not satis-
factory to the county judge or
commissioners, it shall be the
duty of the county auditor to re-
ject such bids and readvertise
for new bids, except in cases of
emergency where the purchase
does not exceed $50.
The regular terms of the Com-
missioners court are the second
Mondays in Feb., May, August
and November of each year, and
all accounts with orders at-
tached thereto shQuld be filed as
soon after the first days of these
months as possible. The Court
desires to transact suoh business
as promptly as possible but de-
clines to violate the plain provis-
ions of the law where claimants
fail to file their claims in time,
as provided by law.

herself conspicuous and should
leave as soon as possible. You
ask if this is not true in the
cities? Certainly it is, but it is
more noticeable and causes more
ungentlemanly remarks when ob-
served in country towns, and
there is no denying the fact that
nice girls go there for the sole
purpose of seeing new faces—
something to relieve the eternal
stagnation of country life, yet
| every nice little girl should know
j that it is not the place for her,
! and if she does go there and hap-
| pens to read this article, possibly
| she will think more of herself
and good name in the future.
You would not be one whit more
conspicuous or talked more about
if you all went down town and
sat with the loafers at the town
hall or on the post office steps.
Take care of your good name
and character, for that is all
some of you have, and both are
fortunes to you.—Tex. Woman.
Quinsy, Sprains and Swelling
Cured.
“In November, 1901,1 caught cold
and had the quinsy. My throat was
swollen so I could hardly breathe. I
applied Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and
it gave me relief in a short time. In
two days I was all right,” says Mrs. L.
Cousins, Otterburn, Mich. Chamber-
lain’s Pain Balm is a liniment and is
especially valuable for sprains and
swellings. For sale by all druggists.

A number of our leading con-
temporaries are advocating a re-
form in newspaperdom by insist-
ing that newspapers tell the truth.
It’s a mighty good policy, and
while we realize the fact that it
is going to be mighty hard for
some to break away from the time
honored teachings of Munchaus- [
en, we are willing to make the i
effort, and second the motion.
How to Cure a Cold.
The question of how to cure a cold
without unnecessary loss of time is
one in which we all more or less in-
terested, for the quicker a cold is
gotten rid of the less the danger of
pneumonia and other serious diseases
Mr. B. W. L. Hall, of Waverly Va.,
has used Chamberlain’s Cough Rem-
edy for years and says: “I firmly
believe Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
to be absolutely the best preparation
on the market for colds. I have re-
commended it to my friends and they
all agree with me.” For sale by all
druggists. cmc

Have you ever noticed while
passing a railroad station at a
small country place that a large
number of the young: girls are
there for seemingly no purpose
than to see the trains come in and
depart? Sometimes these girls
merely stand around and gaze
with peculiar interest at the stran-
gers they see in the cars, while
some move apace and flirt with
the trainmen or some of the pas-
sengers. One instinctively won-
ders what the mothers mean who
permit their daughters to go to a
public place of this kind where
they have no business at all.
Frequently it looks as if they
went to attract some one, for
they are dressed in their best
dresses and their actions are
hud and boistrous. These girls
are not wicked by any means;
they are simply frivolous and the
station seems to be the only spot
in the sleepy little towns where
there is any life or activity, so
draws the young people as a
magnet draws needles. But it is
deplorable, for those girls are
never spoken of in the kindliest
manner even by those who see
them there.
At a little drab colored station
out in Missouri the passengers
cannot help from being attracted
by a notice, in fact, two of them
on the front of the station. Two
hands point to a list of names
and addresses written with a
lead pencil on the drab-painted
boards. Some one has written
below the hands these words,
‘‘These Girls Want Husbands.”
What could be more thoroughly
disgraceful than those names
in a publio place like that, pla-
carded with the above term? But
do the girls deserve anything
better when they do not care
enough to protect their names
from suoh places?
No mother should permit her
daughter to go to the station on-
ly when she is going to some
place or aooompanies a friend,
then the girl should not make
Good morning Chats: I will
come in this beautiful morning,
after such a good rain. It was
the first good rain since June
and everything is looking fresh
and fine. It will make cotton
picking a little disagreeable, as
the cotton was beaten out by the
wind and rain.
Health of this community is
good so far as I know. Grandma
Amos happened to quite a ser-
ious accident last Saturday two
weeks age, by falling out the
door and knocking her wrist and
thumb out of place. She has
been suffering considerably since
the accident.
Well, Uncle John, I feel sorry
for you, for I know those mos-
quitoes you spoke of were bad.
They have been bad here but not
as bad as you say. But my,
the rats look like they will take
the place. They have caught
nearly all my chickens.
Miss Effie Collier opened up
her school at the Scott school
house last Monday with ten pu-
pils and is carrying on her little
school nicely as usual. It won’t
be long until she will be crowd-
ed, as the cotton is nearly out.
We wish for her much success.

A Certain Cure lor Croup —
Used for ten Years Without
a Failure.
Mr. W. C. Bolt, a Star City Ind.,
hardware merchant, is enthusiastic in
his praise of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. His children have all been
subject to croup and he has used this
remedy for the past ten years, and
though they much feared the croup,
his wife and he always felt safe upon
retiring when a bottle of Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy was i n the
house. His oldest child was subject
to severe attacks of croup, but this
remedy never failed to effect a speedy'
cure. He has recommended it to
friends and neighbors and all who
have used it say that it is unequaled
for croup and whooping cough. For
sale by all druggists. cmc

picking is the thing of the day
down in this part of the country.
Most all the people are about
through picking. We had a rain
Friday that beat the cotton out
of the boll very bad, which will
injure the sample very much.
The people have been so busy
for the last few weeks that visiting
seems to be a thing of the past.
The health of the community
has been very good for the past
few days.

Some people spend considera-
ble money for prescriptions and
medicines and get poor results.
Here is a remedy suggested by
the Halletsville Herald which, if
all of us oould follow, would do
more for human health and hap-
piness than any prescription on
earth. “Start out with a smile
on your face in the morning.
Meet your friends and your ene-
mies with a smile. Face misfor-
tune with a smile and welcome
good fortune with a smile. Smile
even though your heart breaks
—it will ease the fracture. A
smile is the most valuable asset
in most men’s possession.”—
