People are becoming more and
more a reading people every day;
i e most of the people.
The days are getting a little
longer and the nights a little
shorter, but it’s hard to notice
the difference.
“Many of the disappointments
of this life are caused by the hab
it of trying to get something for
nothing.” Very true, but know-
ing this, don’t keep some people
from indulging the habit and suf-
fering disappointment.
Fifteen more days in which to
pay your poll tax and preserve a
right to vote during this year,
which might mean a great deal j
during this year of known gener-1
al elections and no telling how
many special elections.
Col. W. G. Stenetf, who has
done editorial work on the Dallas
News for over 22 years, has re-
signed to—run for congress ’reck-
on. The News and its readers
will miss his able writing, espe-
cially will the press of the country
miss him from the News.
Quite a pressure is being brought
to bear on Governor Campbell to
call an extra session of the legis
lature to enact a law guaranteeing
hank deposits. Baring possible
mistakes, honest men in banks and
in office is one of the best guaran-
tees deposits can have, and possi-
bly a short session of the Texas
legislature might evolve some im-
provement in “shaky’’ places.
An Oklahoma paper says that
often such trials as the noted Thaw
trial ought to be held behind
closed doors. Don’t know why
anybody would want to hear such
trials when they are too modest
to hear such trials and, they are
too modest to hear facts when
they know beforehand that the
facts are rotten. There is no law
to make people go in though the
doors are open.
According to the Tradesman’s
annual report sent put from Chat-
tanooga, Tenn , the south produced
last year 7,590,000 tons of hay,
91.433.000 bushels of wheat, 959,-
743.000 bushels of corn, 67,33b,000
bushels of oats, 437,139,000 pounds
of tobacco, and 21,412,000 bushels
of rice, besides the fruit and truck
crops were worth 8150,000,000;
nothing said cotton, king of all the
crops, as the value of cotton, or
what it will or may bring, is very
much in controversy just now.
Candidates are coming out thick
and fast in places, and everything
looks promising for a good, lively
campaign the next few months,
but it will be July before it is
known who are to fight the bat-
tles—great and small—through to
the tinal closing np.
When our congressman, Morris
Sheppard, makes a speech in con
gres8, he generally makes his
points so plain and forceful that
they are almost unanswerable, and
the other day. when he gave tsome
recommendations of President
Roosevelt a thorough rounding
up, there seemed no one able to
answer him intelligently, but an
Illinois representative had the an
daciry to sneer the assertion that:
“There were times and places to
show trust in ever-ruling Provi-
dence ” In our judgment, fhe
man who objects to the beautiful
expression “In God We Trust” on
ourMiational coins, prefers not to
trust much in God himself, and is
not much to be trusted.
Don t It Jar you.
To have a cough that you can’t-
leave off—even when you go to
bed? Put it away for good by ns
ing Simmons’ Cough Syrup. It
heals iuflamation of the throat and
lungs—gives you rest and peace-
ful sleep.
About the Thaw Trial.
When the Thaw trial is begun
over again, the public knows the
worst in it already. It has alieady
shown the results of idleness and
self-indulgence, and proved that
nothing can be worse unless it is
sensational exposures of them
which end in the final defeat of
justice.—St. Louis Republic
For a fact, court trials, convic-
tions and penalties are meant for
influence and restraint, and many
times long drawnmit trials that
end in acquitals or light sentences
serve only to encourage the idle,
wayward youth of the country to
go on m worse than worthlessness
and Thaw’s acquital will mean an
impetus to many to go and do as
Thaw has done.
In the War Times.
In the last, days of the Coefede
racy, General Longstreet observed
a soldier in tattered clothing stan-
ding hi mud and a beating rain
during a halt of the column. The
soldier, soliloqizing for the benefit
of the by-stamiers, said: “I love
my country. I could die for my
country. ‘Breathes there a man
with soul so dead who to himself
has never said, this’s my own, my
native land1?' And if I ever get
through with this war—if I ever
get through sure enough—I’ll be
d-d if I ever fall in love with
another country!”
No doubt that is about the way
many poor soldiers felt in those
times, and most of them have been
striving ever since to make this
glorious Southland everything but
a howling battlefield.
New Newspaper Law.
Under the law publishers of
newspapers can not carry sub
scribers who are in arrears for
more than a year—unless such
publishers are willing to carry the
papers around to such delinquents
The postal authorities will not
carry them. Even “Generals,”
“Colonels” and “Judges” who
have not paid their subscriptions
for all the way from five to forty
years will have their papers bear-
ing the longstanding tell-tale la
bels stopped in the postoffice,
The limit for weeklies is one year
semi weeklies nine months, tri
weeklies six months, dailies three
months. The new rule ought to
encourage greatly those progress-
men in the business who have
been striving to get their subscrip
tion Ijsts on a cash basis. It, is a
heavy blow for the professional
delinquent. — Dallas News.
The “professional’’ referred to
can stand a most anything Proud
to boast that we have but few, if
any, on our list.^ If we have, we’ll
soon cut’em out, but we’d rather
have them pay up and remain
with us.
Not on Your Tin Type.
No man can live a respectable
life without work, un'ess he is
rich or can talk a liyitig out of the
people, —Snap Shot.
The rich man may get along
fairly respectable and not labor
with his hands, and the fellow who
can “ralk” a living out of the peo-
ple often runs his respectability
down so low that he has to move
off to wheie he is not, known.
Will Stay There.
“In my family medicine chest
no remedy is permitted to remain
unless it proves beyond a doubt
the best to be obtained for its par-
ticular purpose. For treating all
manner of skin troubles, such as
eczema, tetter, ringworm etc.,
Hunt’s Cure has held its place
for many years. I have failed to
find a surer remedy. It cures itch-
ing instantly.” R. M. Swann.
Franklin, La.
Please Keep Out.
Trespassing is forbidden by
law and I hereby forbid hunting
on my premises^ this seeming my
pnly protection.

Looks Businesslike.
Mrs. J. W. Stevens,living down
on Spring creek, has raised 150
big turkeys this year. Just before
Thanksgiving she sold seventy five
for over $100 and she still has sev
enty-five fat ones, which will sell
for more than $100. Mrs. Stevens
sells nearly $1,000 worth a year of
turkeys, eggs, chickens, butter,
etc. This will nearly keep up her
home, while Mr. Stevens sells
wheat, oats, corn and cotton in
abundance.—Gainesville Register.
W. J. Bryan formally opened his
cainpaigu as a candidate for the
nomination at Chicago on the 8th.
NOTICE.
On July 5, 1907, I purchased
from J. H. French. Jr., EtAls., the
Clements stock of drugs and all
fixtures, known as the Pate old
stock of Drugs and fixtures, to-
gether with all notes and accounts
belonging to the said H. D. Clem-
ents and his predecessors at the
time of said purchase. New, some
of said notes and accounts have
been paid ami some of them for
reasons unknown to me are now
due and unpaid, Besides said
notes and accounts I have some
others now due and unpaid.
Know ye, therefore, that I, J.
W. Pate, a citizen and resident of
Morris County,Texas, do hereby
nominate and appoint my brother,
G. C. Pate, as my sole agent to
collect said notes and accounts, , <
passing his receipts for same in
my name signed by himself as my
agent.
Therefore, I will thank you, one
and all, who owe me anything
either by note or account to see
my brother, G. C. Pate, whose of-
fice will be at my drug store and
make a settlement with him in
some way* right and legitimately
which is all any honest man could
exact of other honest persons.
Of course, if there are any persons
who owe me that are not honest,
1 do not expect them to make any
kind of settlement for what they
justly owe me. and 1 have already
made my arrangements to live and
thrive without it and not let it
bother me in the least, in this or
the other world, hut simply let it
fall upon the one that justly de-
serves it, which it will certainly
do, either in this world or the
world to come.
So, I thank you for your past
patronage and wish to continue to
do some business with you in the
future.
I am Respectfully Yours,
J. W. Pate.
Big Busities in Turkeys.
Denton shipped 30,009 pounds
of dressed turkeys for the holiday
consumption in the north and east
and could* have shipped many
more if the markets had been open
to them As it was, turkey sales
turned loose lots of money in Den
ton and Denton county. — Denton
Record and Chronicle.
Yes, and Omaha or any other
place can sell and ship dressed
turkeys in large lots if the people
will only grow the turkeys, and
there is good money in them along
with other farm products.
Try it Once.
There is more actual misery and
less real danger in a case of itch-
ing, skin disease than any other
ailment. Hunt’s C.ure is manufac-
tured especially for these cases.
It relieves instantly and cures
promptly. Absolutely guaranteed.
“When men plant the doctrine of
hate there will come a harvest of
misfortune.” Yes and a bad miss
she is, but she is sure to come.
