Walk Through the Cemetery.
An exchange says: “Take a
walk through the cemetery alone
and you will pass the last rest-
ing place of a man who blew into
the muzzle of a gun to see if it
was loaded. A little further
down the slope is a crank who
tried to show how cio?*e to a root-
ing train he could stand while it
passed. In strolling about you
see the monument of the hired
girl who tried to start the lire
with kerosene and a grass-cov-
ered knoll that covers the boy
who put a cob under a mule's
tail. That tall shaft over a man
who blew out the gas casts" a
shadow across the grave of a boy
who tried to get on a moving
train. Side by side the ethereal
creature who always had her
corset laced on the last hole and
the intelligent idiot who rode a
bicycle nine miles in ten minutes,
sleep unmolested. At repose js
a doctor who took a dosetJbf his
own medicine. There with ,a
top of a. shoe box driven over his
bead, is a rich old man who mar-
ried a young wife. Away over
there reposes a boy who went
fishing on §unday, and the wo-
man who kept strychnine powd-
ers in the cupboard. The man
who stood in front of the moving
machine to oil the sickle is quiet
now and rests beside the careless
brakeman who fed himself to the
70-ton engine, and over in the
potters’ field may be seen the
bleached bones of a man who
tried to whip^he editor.

Passed Forged Check.
Paris, Tex. Jan. 27.—(Special.)
A man passed a check to which
the name R. W. Dyer was forged
at Waterman’s market Saturday
night, getting a ham and $10 in
change. The ham wp found in
the street a few blocks from the
market yesterday morning, and
the butcher discovered this morn-
ing that the check was forged.
Several other merchants report
that the same man tried ’to work’
them with checks from $10 to $20
each.
Cleburne, Tex., Jan. 23.—A
Glen Rosd resident was here to-
day and stated that machinery
had been purchased and that bor-

that place. A company has been

School Report.
During the month of January,
the average of 217 ptfpils, daily,
attended our schools, and the en-
rollment has reached 253 which
is only 4 below last year’s total
enrollment. The new desks h*ve
arrived and are placed and the
smiles of pupils comfortably
seated can be seen by the scores
in the rooms. Much work is be-
ing done and its quality is satis-
factory. '
y
In the principal’s room the
following pupils received the 100
grade for excellence in deport-
ment during the past month:
Maggie Lee Peterson, Ruby
Mixon. /Burl Copper, Hendricks
Dahl, Willie Prather, Selma Ol-
sen, Lottie Loper, Rita Davis,
Grady Booker, Chriss Olsen,
George Hutcherson, Henry Han-
son, Winnie Walton, Hattie Rich-
ards, Carrie ^willing. Ne’lie
Neill, Otto Watts.
We had the pleasure of a visit
from our worthy County Super-
intendent last Friday. He seemed
to be pleased with the work he
saw being done and we were
much pleased to hear of the work
he is accomplishing. The pupils
were “sardined” into one room
and we all listened to a speech
which truly bristeled with good
will ultimately result in Clifton
having the best free school in the
county. Let us raise our eyes
from school house question for
the year and center them upon
no more teachers, etc.
J. CAW ATI’S
« ft
things. Supt. Fkttson is in dead
earnest, and the schools of the
county will feel the mighty force
of his efforts when they come.
He is observing the schools of the
county, carefully considering
their needs,fand will soon issue a
catalogue embodying his obser-
vations and 'recommendations,
and forward thorn to the schools
for their guidance, which will
weld the scattered school inter-
ests into one harmonious whole
and great good must be the re-
sult. He also desires ta have a
meeting of the principals of all
the independent schools for the
purpose of preparing a course of
study that can be presented to
the pfOper trustees for adoption,
thus unifying the school interests
in this line also. By this means,
a graduate of either high school
in the county will have the same
accomplishments as are secured
by every other graduate from
our schools.
The new school board has met
and organized by electing M r. H.
H. Baley President, R. C. Clem-
ment as secretary, and A. G.
Gilliam as treasurer. They held
their meeting in the school build-
ing And will continue to ^6 so on
the third Friday night of each"
month. School interests arfcW if you aren.t well. Hare the pre-

Herein a simple home-made mix-
ture an given by un eminent authority
on jcidne.v diseases, who makes the
statement in a New York daily news-
paper, that it will relieve utmost any
ease of kidhey trouble if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease. He
stutet that such symptoms us lame
back, pain in the side, frequent de-
sire to urinate, especially at night:
painful and discolored urination, are
readily overcome. Here is the re-
oelpe; try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: Compound Kurgon, one ounce:
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take a teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here In town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed at home
by shaking well in a bottle. This
mixture has a .peculiar healing and
soothing effect upon the entire kid-
ney aipl urinary structure, and often
overcomes the worst forms of rheuma-
tism in just a little while. ( This mix-
ture is said to remove all blood dis-
orders and cure the rheumatism by
forcing the kidneys to tfiter and strain
from the blood and system all uric
acid and foul, decomposed waste mat-
ter, which cause these afflictions. Try
scrlption.
