Cumby is not dead by any sort
of means. A glance at our ad-
vertising columns would cause
one to think our merchants wan-
ted all the trade to go to Green-
1 ville, but. they do noj;. They are
just scared and wish to retrench
a little. Their idea is that the
i best
way t^ retrench is not to
let you know what they have to

We give the above flipping of
the killing of convicts to again
call the attention of our readers
to wanton killing by our-'officers
and guards. The convicts did
not surrender when ordered to
and were shot like so many mad
dogs. No intimation that the
lives of the guards were in dan-
ger—just failed to surrender
when ordered and were shot.
No doubt the guards were glad
of a schance to shoot. It was
good practice. In fact we feel
sure that when the truth is
known the convicts never refus-
ed to surrender and hever had a
chance. Let’s stop looking af-
ter crap shooting exclusively and
hang a few officers and guards
who are handy with guns. No
danger in making a mistake in
hanging a penitentiary guard af
ter he has been on the job six
months. 9

TO TALKERS
When you talk, talk right—economize—save time.
TIME MEANS MONEY.
Some men will work and pinch and save and walk
miles from one year’s end to another in the accumu-
latien of mohey.
They will economize in everything, in every way—
' EXCEPT IN TIME.
They will spend a day’s time in doing an errand
that could be done in 5 minutes over a TELEPHONE.
In the one matted of time saved the telephone pays
the highest interest of nearly any investment.

Mrs. Mary Dye, wife of J. W.
Dye, deceased, died at the home
of her only son, Jim Dye, near
Greenwood, Wise County, Tex-
as, Thursday night, September
17th at 11:20 o’clock, and was
buried Friday at 3 p. m. in the
Rush Creek cemetery. Funer-
al services were conducted by
Dr. Cobb, a Baptist minister.
Grandma was a member of
the Missionary Baptist church
and had been for some forty
years. She was 78 years old at
her death, was surrounded by
her son and family, >7id a host
of friends who administered to
her the best they knew.
Grandma has many friends
and relatives South of Cumby
who will be grieved to hear of
her death.
Though our hearts be grieved
we submit to the will of Him
who doeth all things well.
By her grand-daughter,
Mrs. Ada Truitt,
( nee Dye.)
Many editorial paragraphs are
being written at the expense of
Mr. Bryan and his peace pro-
gram which, since the begin-
ning of the European war, is be-
ing held up to ridicule. This
may be witty but it is not wise.
The trend of the best thought
of the world is with Mr. Bryan,
in spite of the awful war. The
world has! cast about former
wars an atmosphere of romance.
It is only horrow struck with
this one. World sentiment does
not uphold wars and worriers as
it used to do, and the sentiment
is changing toward that of Mr.
Bryan. Why not hold up the
hands of Mr. Bryan in his ef-
forts toward world peace? They
have not been suydessful, is it
true, but they are wise in a wis-
dom that the world will catch up
with in future years and they,
with like efforts of other good
men, will succeed in time.—Uval

Dallas: The State Fair of Texas
Poultry Shew, which opens October
17. and continues to November 1,
marks the opening of the poultry show
season, while this show is pronounced
by prominent poultrymen who attend
exhibits all over the country as the
best equipped and best lighted poultry
show in the country.
The State Fair of Texas Poultry
Show is also visited by more interest-
ed people tljan any other show in the
Southwest. It comes right at a time
when both farmers and fanciers have
money to buy hird^ and many fine
ones are sold to farmers to help make
the million dollar industry possible.
Secretary W. H. ! Stratton says-
“From the increased list of entries
received for the State Fair Poultry
Show this year, the biggest display
of fine chickens, ducks, turkeys and
pet stock is most promising. While
the display in general this year will
be unequalled both in quality and
number of individual exhibits.”
