We place before our readers
the name of .L„ A. Moore as a

He has been a citizen of Hop
kins county for IS years, and one
of our most prominent teachers

fant 33 years ago and has been
identified witbTaxas ever sin-e.
By his own efforts be has ae
quired a good* education and
takes rank as one of the foremost
young men of the county.
The editor is not mt.mutely
acquanted with Mr. Moore and
so was compelled to make inquiry
as to his character. Several
good citizens have told us that he
is worthy of the highest coai-
mendati-Sn we can bestow upon
him. Hef is a Obiistian gentle-
men in every respect and fully
qualified for any trust that may
, be imposed upon him. \oung

a good m;i|er by nature, of fine
presence, strong by conta ct with
the world, he has many warm
friends to push bis candidacy.
Give his name due consideration
by careful inquiry before casting
your votes.

Laughter Saved the Ship, t
Humor has been credited with the
saving of many things, but perhaps
never before bas a ship been saved by
its judicious application. In a great
storm many years ago a ship s crew
were all at prayers when a boy burst
iqto a tit of violent laughter. Being
reproved for liis ill timed mirth and
asked the reason, for it. he said, “ A ny.

another man who had! also watched
the scales. “She weighed 152 pounds
instead of 140.
