Stretch From Timpson To
Nacogdoches County Low to
Be Topped With Asphalt.
Improvement work on high-
way No. 35, from Timpson to
the Nacogdoches county line, is
making good progress. The
roadbed is being widened, and
in numerous instances fences
have been moved back and the
big grading machines have put
over a job that makes the
stretch look mueh better than
the former narrow thorough-
fare. The new right-of-way is
100 feet.
Placing of gravel is to be-
gin soon and to be followed
with a double bituminous sur-
face treatment. The asphalt
will be spread two feet wider
than on the stretch between
Timpson and the Louisiana line
of this hightway.
Information from Nacogdo-
ches county is to the effect that
surveying of right-of-way
through that county has been
completed with a view of
straightening a few curves,
and that efforts will probably night at the court house,
be made in the near future to
secure additional right-of-way
grants from property owners
along the road.

JUST LIKE AN OSTRICH
A medical authority says
that a person who tries to cover
up skin blemishes and pimples
with toilet creams and powders
is just as foolish as an ostrich
that buries its head in the sand
to avoid danger. Skin erup-
tions are nature’s warning that
constipation is throwing
poisons into your blood stream
and weakening your whole
constitution. Remove the con-
stipated condition and you will
strengthen ypur system against
disease and clear up your dis-
figured skin. The best way fo
do this is. with a course of Her-
bine, the vegetable medicine
that acts naturally and easily,
which you can get at F. R. Bus-
sey’s Drag Store.

Henderson, June 28.—G. E.
Lee, 40, of Holdenville, Okla.,
died Saturday in a Henderson
hospital as a result of injuries
received while erecting a cool-
ing tower at the refinery north
of this city.
Lee was one of seven work-
men injured when a sudden
windstorm caused the collapse
of the tower. Four of the
workmen jumped but the tower
fell upon them. Charles Wood,
Oklahoma neighbor of Lee, also
is in a serious condition in the
hospital here, and little hope
is held for h‘is recovery.
C. R. Cox of Blackwell,
Okla., and C. E. Golmon of
Vivian, La., are in the hospital,
but are expected to recover.
Bliss Rebecca Sue Jones of
Huntington is visiting her
friend, Miss Thelma Williams
of this city.
conservatively estimated that
65,000,000 pounds additional
cotton will he consumed if this
type of bagging is generally
adopted and used. Surely ev-
ery one in the South can see
that this will have its effect on
the market.”

Paint, a Protection
and Investment
The investment in your house, garage or other struc-
tures, demands a protection which only paint—good
paint can give. .Maybe it is only a coat of trim—maybe
the entire structure needs painting or special treatment.
This is a good year to plan to have sueh work done.
Prices have never been lower on good paints and ma-
terials than we are quoting this season. Early orders are
assured prompt and efficient attention.
