Hello 1 Mr. Editor, Here we come
again with some reasonable excuses
to offer for our negligence and hate-
ful carelessness for the past several
months. Since our visit to ofir wife’s
kinfolks back yonder in Arkansas we
have been very busy tusseling with
grass and weeds that have been try-
ing to take the crops. D url ri gth e
week we had to plow to beat thunder
and at night we rolled and tumbled^
wondering what in the world we
would do with that new ground pieco
of cotton that was so entangled with1
“grab grass.” then we would worry
about the ground getting hard and
wish there would come just a little
shower to “soften the crust.” Finally
we would go off to sleep wondering
what the government cotton acreage
report would be, and sometimes had
sweet dreams that the reduction was
25 per cent and cotton went to 12 cts.
tten the saddest of all would be it
was only a dream,
A nice rain fell here Sunday, which
was gladly received and came in due
time.
Crops of all kinds look reasonably
well outside of the bail-beaten dis-
trict, which was our sad misfortune
to be in the middle of , but we are verjr
thankful that we did not get blown
away in the storm.
Corn that, was beat down by the
hail is backward, of course, but will
make if' the season continues good.
What in tho world is the matter with
the Blade correspondents? Now let’s
have another pen reunion, dome
along, everybody. Aydrey, bless your
Sottl, what is the matter with you?
You just ‘‘quit” and from all appear-
ances you are going to “stay quit.”
Sometimes we fear you have ohanged
climates, and gone to Mexico. How
about it? Jack.
A Reliable Real Estate Man.
One of the ieal estate men of
Bowie who is spending money
advertising tho town and county
is W. M, McKee. One of the
ways in which he advertises is by
means ol well gotten up litera-
ture designed to present to home-
seikers a brief statement of facts
that teilsata glance the chief in-
formation naturally to be desired
by the man looking for a new lo-
cation. To any reader of the
Blade, not acquainted with Mr.
McKoo, in whose possession some
of his literature may fall, we un-
hesitatingly reoommend him as
a.reliable, canaeiwjHivejind well
informed business man of Bowie,
who willtake pleasure in answer -
ing all inquiries with a conscien-
tious regard for the truta.
Past and Present.
Editor of the llowie Blade—I
-will break the sileneeLbis time in
praise of tho country. As I have
been here several mouths I will
give it out through your paper.
1 think Montague county is a fine
country and very healthy, with
some of the very best people I
ever met.
I have lived in Texas 27 ypaTs,
and in a great many parts of it.
I have seen Texas in its youth-
ful days when there was no barb
wire, and thousands of wild cattle
roamed over the prairies of the
State. Fish, venison, honey and
beef were no object in this coun-
try during the 70s. But that is in
the past The lund has been
turned and dwellings have been
built by thousands of people all
Cotton is later than it would have ; over the great State, and the
been by about three weeks, but this
may be for the &esty no ©«© can tell
about cotton yet.
T. J. Minogue and a man by the
name of Rai jiff, a tenant on Minogue’a
place, had a difficulty last Saturday
night in which Minogue was severe*ly
beaten and is reported to be in a crit-
ical condition.

decisive winner. Now, don’t think

As it stands thus I want to say

Cuban Diarrhoea.
soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is, and that ordinary rem-
edies bare little more effect than so
much water. Cuban diarrhoea is al-
most as severe and dangerous as a
mild attack of cholera. There is one
remedy, however, thatfean always be
depended upon as will be seen by the
following certificates “I hereby cer-
tify that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my hus-
band of a severe attack of Cuban diar-
rhoea which he brought home from
Cuba. We bad several doctors but
they did him no good. One bottle of
this remedy cured him, as our neigh-
bors will testify. I thank God for so
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
7 "...... •
Received Diplomas Last Night
at Opera House.
Last night at the Opera House
a clase of ten finished their High
School courses and were given
diplomas. In the presence of
a large crowd of admiring and
well wishing relatives and friends
the graduates acquitted them-
selves with high honors, and the
program printed below was crecL
itably rendered.
The Blade goes to press too
early to give more thau passing-
mention of the event, but it joins
the many friends of the class of
’05 in wishing each of thedi all
the happiness that can come fpom
well directed efforts to place
oneself in position to enjoy the
beet things of life.
To many the path of learning
—so far as schools go—is at an
end. To them there are new du-
ties of life—other paths of work,
and study, and duty, and, ttl a_____
learned writer has said: To the
graduate life is now a wall or a
door, If a wall indolence aud
lack of ambition will bid you halt
and mayhap turn back upon the
path yod have just trod; seek
rosea and gathering only the
thorns on the bushes where the
dead leaves tell you that the
flowers have bloomed for the last
time. If a door, there are many
untold beauties beyond—there ta
d garden that blooms eternally
with flowers of thought and am-
bition’s purest light is the guid-
ingstarof hope that beckon ay rm
on and on forever, to the summit
of earthly attainments. It is for
you, whether it shall bo a wall or
a door. There should be no falt-
ering, no fainting at the heart,
no unsteady step, but a firm, sure
resolve for the future to mount
the most inaCCessable pinucles
and at last Btand upon the peaks
of human success and prove that
nothing is impossible for brains
and energy to accomplish.

young ladies and gentlemen who
