Cone Johnson holds that statutory

It is altogether improbable, however,

He further says, regarding this cas-

Necessity is said to be “the mother
of invention,” and according to the
Paris News onr Delta county friends
are eqnal to the emergency of a con-
tinons drouth, that has been unpro-
ductive of hay and forage, and are
utilizing ' their cotton stalks for hay.
A number of farmers have mowed
their stalks (now In a green condi-
tion,) and claim when the stalks are
cared they wilt, down and are soft
and equivalent to cane, and make the
very best of feed.
Governor Campbell has appointed
F. M. Braliey State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, R B. Cousins hav-
ing resigned to aobept the presidency
of the new West Texas Normal at
Canyon City. It was already fore-
casted that Mr. Braliey would be in
the race for the superintendency, and
he had developed much strength for
that position. It is generally conced-
ed by those np in educational matters
that the appointment is a proper one
and worthily bestowed, and it is con-
servative to say Mr. Braliey will suc-
ceed himself at the next regular elec-
tion. (
The) South has had many extreme
cases of crime, and the mob has been
called in frequently to settle prompt-
ly with the leacherous and brutal of-
fenders. Some have answered their
inhuman wrongs against the honor
and innocence of women and little
children at the end of the rope and
chains at the stake, but with all this

the North had the South bested the
other day up at Cairo, Iii. The mob
wreaked their vengeance on an inno-
cent white man, as well as the negro
who had incited their anger. The
Springfield mob is another instance
where innocent men were killed in-
indiscriminately, regardless of any
wrong.
Diversification was rather forced on
the people. For years and years they
delved after the one crop, cotton.
This proved a failure and cotton went
down to four and five cents, and from
sheer force of self protection they
commenced to diversify. The multi-
plicity of crops has proved so profit-
able and satisfactory that diversifica-
tion has come to stay, and he who
practices keeping his eggs in many
baskets is happy and prosperous. The
next move in the interest of farmers
is now well begun—smaller farms and
better improved. The people are fast
coming to realize the necessity of cut-
ting down their acreage and making
more with less labor, and at the same
time rendering their holdings more
valuable and productive. “A little
farm well tilled, a little barn well fill-
ed” is the slogan now with those who
wonld gather from the soil comfort,
pleasure and profit.

And now they tell ns that “hook
worms” is the result of eating corn
bread; that this ancient stand-by of
vital forces has tamed tables and its
use is devitalizing the tissues of en-
ergy and making of men a set of lazy
lazaronis. How can this be? Corn
has, in the ages gone, been the acme
of strength and endurance. I It was
corn that gave a Joseph and ultimate-
ly saved the land of Cannan; it was
corn ponnded in a mortar from which
our sturdy forefathers partook, sub-
sisted and fonght well the battles of
the revolution. The early Pilgrims
cultivated it and to them it was their
staff and stay. How have the mighty
fallen in this, the twentieth centnry?
We are now told by the scientist that
corn bread is the greatest evil in the
land, producing inertia, disease and
decay. Somehow we don’t give any
credit to this new fad in science, and
don’t believe anything of the kind.
On the contrary, we believe that com
is all right, (and the trouble is, we
haven’t enough of it) and as good
and nutritions for ns now as a hun-
dred years ago, “pellagra” and “hook
worm” to the contrary. Give ns
plenty of corn and the country Will

years of the past, and far more

his voice, and in a subdued tone ven-
tured, “My friend, what do yon claim
for your exhibit?” The old man drew
himself np, sponted a stream of
smoke from his month that would
have sent a steam engine wild with
envy, and snorted, “Speed! Yes,
gentlemen, a hog that can’t outran
a ‘free nigger’ in Arkansaw ain’t
worth a cuss.” This pedigree, though
brief, was conclusive; the judges had
‘seen,’ and lost no time in attaching
the bine ribbon to his snperb gnin-
tership, declaring him the “Sweep-
stakes hog of Arkansaw.”
Boundry Line Stir.
Over in the mountains of Arkan-
saw, so the story goes, they held a
hog show some time ago. The man
who prided himself on fine stock was
there with the product of his care in
good condition and accompanied by
a pedigree satisfactory to himself, at
least. The pens were arranged in or-
der, and each held a sample of the
progressivehess of that section. The
owners took position near their re-
spective pens, ready to detail to the
judging committee the good proper-
ties of their holdings in the matter of
pork assets, lard producing qualities
and bacon retnrns.
When interviewed, the man inv
charge of the Berkshire said his hog
was a rustier, and would make a hog
anywhere. The Poland China man
said his was a great lard producer,
wonld fatten at any age, was no
drummer or run-about, stayed at
home, conserved his energies and,
being of a peaceful mind, readily
took on flesh and fat. This infor-
mation pleased the committee, and
it passed to the next pen, where
stood a man by a red Tam worth; he
tipped his hat and smilingly said:
“Gentlemen, I have the greatest boglCo’S.
of the age; be grows to an enormous
weight, and his record for high class
bacon is proverbial the world over;
he furnishes at small cost the most
delightful and savory bacon, ‘a streak
o’ lean and a streak o’ fat’ that ever
greeted the lips of man.” This sound-
ed good, and the labials of the judges
involuntarily smacked at the imagi-
nary toothsome gravy.
Just next stood an old mountaineer
by his pen containing a genuine Ar-
kansaw Razor-Back. He was a typi-
cal fellow of that once famous but
now almost obsolete breed. The own-
er was quietly drawing inspiration
from a long stemed, time Btained
pipe, his face lit up with an air of
supreme satisfaction that Baid, with
him and his on the hog question, “all
was well.” The committee passed to
the side of his stall to see the object
of his attention when a long-legged,
thin-sided animal of the swine per-
suasion, growing long and shaggy
hair and sporting at one extremity a
head and nose that wonld have dis-
counted in length any churn in the
land, the combination totaling about
forty-five pounds greeted their op-
tical vision. The tableaux was im-
pressive and imposing, in that the
committee had never seen anything
like it, and in open-mouthed wonder
stood transfixed in the presence of
this undisputed monarch of the
woods. Finally, one of them found
Sometime ago the Commissioners
Court of Wood County served notice
on the Commissioners Court of Hop-
kins County that they were going to
make a new survey of the line be-
tween Wood and Hopkins and try to
establish the D. O. Norton 'line. A
meeting was arranged between the
two Courts, which was held in Winns-
boro on Monday,. November 15;
Jadge Patterson, of this city was
elected as chairman of the meeting.
After considerable discussion the
Wood county Commissioners de-
clared that they wonld proceed with
the survey, and Jadge Patterson im-
mediately called his Court into exe.
entive session and it was agreed to
employ County Surveyor Joseph
Uirashear A® go with the Wood County
Surveyor and see that Hopkins
county's interests were protected
Onr people have confidence in “Uncle
Joe” Brashear, and if he says the line
as established by the joint-survey is
correct, they will be satisfied.
For Submission.
Rev. Geo. Stewart one of the strong-
est prohibition lecturers in the South,
will address the people of Sulphur
Springs on the question of submission,
or state-wide prohibition at the Bap-'
tist church on Tuesday night, Novem-
ber 23rd. He has enlisted his great
powers (now of national fame) in the
war against the demon ‘Rum,’ and
will stay on the firing line ’till the
monster surrenders hoof and horns.
Don’t fail to hear this great man on
the burning question of the age, ap-
pealing directly to the happiness and
prosperity of all men, the downfall
and completerouting of King Alcohol.
This is a common cause, and will be
fought out in the interest of the peo-
ple, right, humanity, home and God.
Everybody is cordially invited.

Wonderful Gain In Deposits.
The official statement of the First
National Bank issued Tuesday shows
a gain in deposits of $201,525 95 since
the last official statement which was
issued on September 23rd. This is
indeed a wonderful gain in only fifty-,
three days time, and makes a record
that any bank, even in the larger
towns might point to with pride, as it
runs their deposits np to $496,789.95,
just a little short of a half million dol-
lars. The First National is one of the
oldest, strongest, most liberal and
progressive banks in all Northeast
Texas and stands as solid as the “Rock
