SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 A YEAR
Subscriptions from out of Jack county

News stops going to subscribers in Jack
county when time is out, if SO is
after their names. j
This month the News collectet
less on subscription than in any

Also collections from the merchants

month to pay one week’s expense
of the paper.
The three primary principals of
good farming are: good seed bed,
good seed and good cultivation
Good seed is no longer a theory
or eperiment in thi county. Con
siderably over one-half of the peo-
ple in this county know the value
! of good seed.

Pt. Worth Record and News............$1.75
The News thanks our exchanges
for the kind words spoken
concerning the installing of our
type setting machine.
The News would like to make
a last appeal to all who will to
plant the Mabene cotton. You can
get the seed yet from local people.
If you can not afford to plant your
whole field, get enough to have a
few acres so you will have you own
seed next year.
The first copy of the Bryson
Enterprise came to hand Saturday
morning, Mr. Joe Davis, editor.
It was a tolerably good paper and
full of live articles. It is Joe’s
first experience with a G. Washing-
ton press and he says his hands
are very much blistered but he got
out a dandy good paper all right.
The Bridgeport Index refers to
Bridgeport as busy, hustling, bully
old Bridgeport. The News has been
trying for some time to get up an
alliteration for Jackboro that will
beat that, but has not been able to
do better than jumping, jingling,
jolly Jacksboro.—Jacksboro News.
Jacksboro just jubilates when
juxtapositious to a jug. That help
you any?—Mineral Wells Index.
Hardly, because our people would
scarcely know a jug if they should
see one. There has not been- a
drunk man in Jacksboro for a year.
Hettie Green pays $125 a week
for rooms in a New York hotel.
One of our exchanges asks “why
does she pay such exorbitnate
prices?’’ That is easy. She pays
it because she can afford it, and
the reason she can afford it is be-
cause she wasn’t foolish enough to
try to pay it when she wasn’t able.
—Olney Oracle.
m-j
if is too much trouble and too
much expense, is the argument
that a number of people put up
why they do not plant peas. They
should carry their argument sti
further and say it is toojtffich
—Ir&flSIiFRrTrilJrtr^^ corn.
The planting of peas will in-
crease the next years crop at least
ten per cent and have an additional
pofit of the hay and peas. Plant
early on the row, in front of the
cultivator and if there is a summer
drouth you will not fail to make
peas.
I The commisioners eourt, when
! they counted the road money, were
better off than they thought they
were, so we will have some road
building this year after all. They
have about $4,000 for that purpose
and will in a short time go to work
on the Mineral Wells road as but
little money has been spent on the
road., and it is almost impassable;'
As our bridges are in good shape
now and but few more to build,
this year’s road tak can be almost
entirely sp/nt on the grading
and ioipr&ving the roads. Our
issioners and county judge
are all cranks on the subject of
good roads and we are proud of
them. »
BRECKENRIDGE
Still dry and very little corn
planted and scarcely any gardening
done so far as I know, good 'peo-
ple are not blue. It takes those of
small faith to get discouraged and
grumble. Grass is still looking
green and health is pretty good.
Our missionary held a success-
ful meeting two weeks since and
organized a church and babtised
several converts. He still enjoys
missionary work and is in tolerably
good health now. If he could just
get rid of that troublesome ezema
with which he has suffered or more
than two years.
One old neighbor boy, F.S. Gro-
ner was here two weeks ago in the
interest of the sanitarium which
the baptists are trying to locate
somewhere in this part of Texas.
Sickness prevented me from
visiting Frank, but I was told by
several that he made a fine talk.
Our daughter Lula, whose home
is in the little city of Haskell
has been with us sereral weeks in
search of health and am proud to
say she has improved a great deal
since she came. We think we have
a right nice little town here, but
want to remind you we still love
our old town Jacksboro.
Hope Jack county as well as this
will get rain soon.
Mrs. Jno. L. McCord.

"7 d 'Rather Die, Doctor,
than have my feet cut oft,” said M. L
Bingham, of Priceville, 111. “but you’ll
die from gangrene (which had eaten a-
way eight t(>es) if you don’t,” said all
doctors. Instead—he used Bucklen’s
Arnica Salve till wholly cured. Its cures
of Eczema, fever sores, boils, burns and
piles astound the world. 25c at Abe
Kuykendall’s
Mr. Douglass informs the iditor
that he is now selling on his second
car of Sorghum seed. Last year
he sold three cars. Now he lacks
considerable of selling all the seed
that are sold in the county as there
are quite a number who sell seed.
All this money goes out of the
county. Why can not a few farm-
ers in the county plant a few acres
of sorghum for the pupose of raising
seed. Sorghum will grow here bet-
ter than-ialhe Northwest and if they
can make money raising and ship-
ping them we cetainly can.
The Childress Post has been print-
ing some anti-mail order litera-
ture and contracted a case of right-
eous sour stomach. It says: “The
DorseyJBrinting Co., has the.coun-
try print shop skinned good and
proper now. Last week an em-
ployee of this concern spent a day
or two in Childress hauling some
of our prominent citizens around
in a nice automobile.—Of course
he didn’t solicit business on the
strength of the free ride he gave
our people but all the same those
free rides don’t look good to the
'./>me printer, because he cannot
’rAeet such competition. Somebody
pay3 for those free rides, whether
consciously or otherwise." Dorsey
Printing Co., is owned by the San-
gers, who solicit business right un-
der the nose of every dry goods,
furniture and notion merchant in
Texas. People who patronize this
V- V, concern should not complain about
the mail order frauds.—Henrietta
Independent.
When the News began the agita-
tion for better methods of farming
and before the Government Demon-
station work began here there proba-
bly were not ten farmers in the
county who saved their manure and
used it even in the garden and
there were not over ten who plant-
ed more cow peas than enough for
table. Now there are fully one-
third of the farmer scarefully saving
the manure and using it and there
are at least one-half who will plant
th^ir entire corn field in peas this
year. Anotehr point: At the time
we spoke of there was not any im-
proved cotton in the county that
we know of. £Jow fully two thirds
of the farmers are planting some
improved variety of cotton this
year, either the Mebane, the Row-
den, Jackson, apple bowl or some
other fine cotton.
The dry spring has disarrang-
ed many farmer’s plans for
crop and many have not yet made
up their minds just what to plant.
As a suggestion the news will off-
er seeded ribbon cane or'Amber
Sorghum for making syrup. Last
year there were quite a number
who made good money at this busi-
ness and every gallon that was
prought on the market had a ready
sale by retail or wholesale. Of
course there is a lot of very hard
work in the molasses making busi-
ness and it comes at a time when
the farmer feels that he is entitled
•
to a little rest, but there is good
money in it . here is anothoer ad-
vantage* of this. It saves a lot of
money in the county, keeps it from
going out of the county and it stays
here to help make good times. You
have no idea the amount of good
the $150,00 that is sent out of the
county each year for syrups would
do if it should remain here ’for
our use.

Rheumatism.
•y'
of rheumatism are simply rheumatism
of the muscles, due to cold or damp, or
chronic Rheumatism. In such cases no
internal treatment is required. The free
>na
application of Chamberlain’s Liniment
is all that is needed, and it is certain to
give quick relief. Give it a trial and
see for yourself how quickly it relieves
the pain and soreness. The medicines
usually given internally for rheumatism
are poisonious or very strong medicines.
They are worse than useless in cases of
chronic and muscular rheumatism. For
sale by Abe Kuykendall.
