Children especially are fond of dainties,
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
As good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also a cake that is health-
ful as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
of food. It imparts that peculiar light-
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
and what is more important, renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young
and old.

HOWARD WILLSON,
Editor and Proprietor
A Denison judge has made a re-
markable, ruling. On Monday af-
ter* Christmas he had released all
the “drunks" who had been ar-
rested. He said the season ex-
cused them. Why the “season’'
should justify a man in breaking
the law it is hard to figure out. It
is true that on some special occa-
sion more licence is allowed, but
when a man cannot restrain him-
self until he has gone so far as to
deserve arrest and imprisonment
no judge should excuse him from
the penalty of his conduct.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE 80UTH.
One T. G. Bush is out in an in-
terview in which he unbosomB
himself in referring to President
Roosevelt and the South.
“You cannot talk to President
Roosevelt,” Mr. Bush concludes,
“without feeling that he appre-
ciates the South as an important
part of this great and wonderful
country and his earnest desire to
be president of all the people, and
that he is extremely friendly to the
Southern people, and stands as
ready, as is in his power, to con-
tribute to their prosperity and hap-
piness as to the people of any part
of the country.”
We do not know who Mr. Bush
is, nor with what authority he
speaks, but if he knows bo much
he ought to be induced to answer
a few questions in support of the
attitude he assumes for the presi-
after he
dent.—For instance, even
is elected, why does he insist on
the confirmation of the Cium ne-
gro at Charleston against the vig-
orous protests of the people? Why
does he inflict the. section he “loves
so well” with' negro republicans
instead of white republicans?
Why does he not take his colored
political pets to the North where
they are not so distasteful
in official capacity as they are in
hid dearly beloved South ? Per-
haps in a moment of mental abera-
tion caused him to forget his best
affections when he denounced the
entire South as being populated
by Bcallawags. Maybe he was
playfully toying with the feelings
of the people of this section when
he wrote in the most scandalous
manner of the best loved heroes
ahd statesmen of the South. There
are many other acts and attitudes
charged up that will have to he
explained away before the South
will feel it a pleasure to fall into
the arms of this man Roosevelt,
who, of a sudden, since his elec-
tion for the last time, has set up a
claim of a change of heart and
wants to make friends of a people
whom he has never, in any official
capacity or otherwise shown the
least possible favor, and who on
the contrary has gone out of his
way to show a contempt for the
Southern portion of the Union, of
which he is supposed to be presi-
dent.

We say these thing! that our
friends may know that their sup-
port and patronage is fully appre-
ciated, and that it does not go by
unacknoweledged. We also have
reason to believe that we will have
a fine report to make at the end of
1905. We have the deepest sym-
pathy for those of our readers who
have suffered so grievously from
the effects of the boll weevil, and
to prove such sympathy we have
made liberal settlements with
many in arrears, with many others
we have continued sending the
paper at a great expense to us,
and without resorting to any ex-
treme measures to inforce pay-
ment. We wish for every reader
and patron of the Messenger the
beginning of of a new prosperity
with tb the new year,, and that
abundant returns may come to us
all in a bountiful harvest in all the
efforts in husbandry, and in com-
mercial; professional and all lines

GREETING.
In the first of the new year the
Messenger desires to extend the
greetings of the season to itB many
friends and readers. Especially
is this pleasing and appropriate
at this time, as the Messenger has
just completed the most prosper-
ous year it has ever experienced
under the present management.
Our friends seem to have more
appreciation of the paper recently
and from many complimentary
expressions that have come to us
both directly and “second hand,”
we would be ungrateful if we did
Death of Capt. Kolb.
Capt. P. M. Kolb, an old and
prominent citizen of Milam county,
died of pneumonia laBt Friday at
his home near Rockdale, and was
buried at the Bethlehem Cemetery.
He had for many years been a
member of the Masonic lodge, and
was laid away with Masonic hon-
ors. Rev. Hart, of Rockdale, con-
ducted the funeral services.
It is sorrowful to record so fre-
quently the passing away of the
older generation, and in the death
of Capt. Kolb we lose one of the
most conspicuous of the older
settlers of Milam county. The
Messenger extends its deepest
sympathies to the wife and sons
aad daughters who survive him
and are mourning his loss.
The following is a short biogra-
phy of a long and eventful life:
Bev. Carlisle F. B. Martin, L. L. 1).
of Waverly, Texas, writes: Of a morn-
ing when 'first arising, I often find a
collection of phlegm, which produces a
cough and is very hard to dislodge: bat
a small quantity of Ballard's Hore-
hound Syrup will at once dislodge it,
and the trouble is over. I know of no
medicine that is equal to it, and it is so
plearant take. I can most cordially
recommend it to all persons needing a
medicine for throat or lung trouble.”

Fires at Conductor.
Texarkana, Dec. 31.—Negroes were
ejected from a Cotton Belt train for
Conductor Carson with a revolver, but
being disorderly. One of them fired
twice at Conductor Carso,n with a re-
volver, but neither shot took effect.
Sickening Shivering Fite
Capt. P. M. Kolb was born in
Talbot county, Ga., on June 25th,
1827. He was a young man when
his parents came to this state, hav-
ing spent his youth in Georgia.
Soon after coming to Texas he en-
tered the ranger service, enlisting
in a regiment commanded by Col.
John H. Connor, with which he
served about six months against
the Indians in the Western part ot
the state. He then returned to
Washington county, where he en-
gaged at his trade, carpenter and
gin builder, which he followed
there for a number of years. Mar-
rying in the meantime, he moved
to Grimes county and in 1859 he
moved to Milam county. On com-
ing to this county he bought 150
acres of land on Brushy creek
about lour miles from where Rock-

and cured with Elec'ric Bitters. This
is a pure, tonic medicine; of Especial
benefit in malaria, for it exerts a true
curajive influence on the disease, driv-
ing it entirely out of the system. It is
much to be preferred to quinine, hav-
ing none of this drug's bad after-effects

The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen—" I cannot speak too high-
ly of the value of Peruna. I believe
that I owe my life to its wonderful
merits. I suffered with catarrh of the
head and lungs In its worst form, until
the doctors fairly gave me up, and I de-
spaired of ever getting well again.
" I noticed your advertisement and the
splendid testimonials given by people
who had been cured by Peruna, and lie
termined to try a bottle. 1 felt but little
better, but used a second and a third
bottle and kept on improving slowly.
“/f took six bottles to cure me, but
they were worth a king's ransom to
me. / talk Peruna to all my Mends
and am a true believer la Us worth.”
—Mrs. Cot. B. J. Gresham.
• Thousands of women owe their lives
to Peruna. Tens of thousands owe their
health to Peruna. Hundreds of thou-
sands are praising Pernna in every state

multitude of letters, with written per-

Died From Injuries.
Dallas, Jan. 4.—Mrs. J. G. Sown,
who poured gasoline into a kettle,

Imperfect Digestion
means less nutrition and in consequence
less vitality. When the liver fails to
secret bile, the blood becomes loaded

with bilious properties,
becomes impared and the bowels con-

new life and vigor to the whole system.

It has been cynically said that any-

have been advertised but only one—
Perry Davis’ Painkiller—has stood the

what the remedy does.—Th
