Vaughn, Mrs. Alma Vaughn is now on
her way to Ballinger, Tex. She will

Paris-Meant Pleasait Read.
The grading of the Paris and Mount
Pleasant railroad has been completed
to Bogota, with the exception of a few
gaps that remain to be filled, and
when they are flinished the camp will
be moved*below Bogota. Tie makers
are at work in the timber near Bogota
getting out ties for the road, and the
laying of the track is expected to be-
gin in the spring. Every foot of the
right of way has been adjusted except
one case. Dick McHam and Jim Stell
appealed from the award of the con-
demnation proceedings held in Peris,
and Mr. McHam has since settled with
the oompany and has withdrawn his
appeal. The Stell case is the only one
not settled, and it, will come np in the
county court next Tuesday. Every-
body is anxious to see the railroad
completed, and as it is conceded that
it wilinot only be e good thing for
Peris, but that it #111 build up

Never before bac the farm offered
greater opportunities to the yonng
nag willing to labor and live from the
prod acts of the soil. The demand for
gbort products within recent years hat
been especially greet, bnt the average
yield of our crops fa as not materially
increased. The farm needs • young
men of ability, rami society needs
new seal tor education and rural pro-
grets, to improve the economic condi-
tions of farming.
While many of oar cities are congest-
ed With the unemployed, there are
thousands of sores of fertile land in
the Southwest that need only the
hand of industry to transform them
into well-managed farms. With a fa-
vorable climate and soil adapted to so
many different crops, agriculture

At this stage of our
civilisation, the farmer may live on
his farm and yet enjoy many of the
conveniences of his city neighbor. He
may read the dally papers, delivered
at hie door, with his rural telephone be
may keep informed of the market for
his prodnets. In many localities roads
and highways permit the use of the
automobile.
The man who follows agricultural
pursuits no matter wliat ■ special divl-
aptitnde may seleot, if he

fundamental principles of soil fertility
oan make a success.
Now is the time to own a home.
Leads are rapidly advancing; the day
of cheap land* in the Southwest will
soon be a matter of history. A small
farm and a comfortable home will en-
able you to enjoy the richest blessings
Which nature has provided for the In-
dustrious. There is no more laud-
able ambition, there is no more hon-
orable occupation, than fllowing the
plow.—Farm and Bsnqfi.

Is the prohibition movement slow-
ing down the saloon business any in
the United States? Well let’s see.
The internal revenue figures given
oat at Washington tell us that there
are twelve thousand fewer saloons In
today than there were
This means the
lot these institu-
tions every month, or thirty-three
every day in the year. This is going
some, it we read the figures correctly.
But this not all. These same Wash-
ington figures show us that we have
680 fewer wholesale liquor houses
than we had one year ago. But this
is not all. These same figures show
us that we have 75 fewer distilleries
and 100 fewer breweries than one year
ago. Vet some people tell ns prohi-
bition waves are receding. Let the
recession at this rate continue through
the years to come. Besides these re-
sults we have more stringent liq-
uor laws in most of our states than
ever before, and the sentiment against
the saloon is growing stronger and
stronger with the passing of the years.

Uacle Joe’s Great Wish.
Speaker Cannon wants to live to be
100 jeers old. If old Father Time has
delt hard with Uncle Joe he will not
admit it. The other day members of
a delegation which sought the speak-
er’s assistance in a legislative way
gathered about Cannon’s desk in his
inner sanctum. The speaker, as his
wont, did most of the talking. He
“joshed” his Callers for half hour. At
one point he paused and gazing re-
flectively at the ceiling remarked:
“Gentlemen, the next birthday cele-
bration that I have will be my seven-
ty-fourth, and If I have my way about
It, I shall celebrate in perfect health
my one hundredth anniversary.”
While the speaker did not say so,
those who heard this remark wonder-
ed whether he expects to continue as
czar of the house, for the next twen-
ty-six years.—National Daily.
Tm Many Knockers.
“I am an East Texan and have lived
in this section all my life,” said a trav-
eling man this morning, “but it has a
great fault, and that is too many
knockers. Why if a fellow gets into
a trade in my town, he has to sleep and
eat with the other man until papers
are signed to keep the narrow minded
knockers from interfering.”
His town is not different in that
respect from other East Texas cities,
and the wonder is that they can’t un-
derstand that snch dealing retard the
progress of an entire section.—Nac-
ogdoches Sentinel.
A Little Exclteneat.
A little excitement oocnred near
Tigertown last Satnrday. A yonng
married woman who had heard that
another woman had made an uncom-
plimentary remark concerning her
went over to see about It, and her
husband accompanied her. It is claim-
ed that she carried an ax handle andJ]
tided to use it, but some member of
the family took it away from her. |
is claimed that she then seized an iron ]
poker, but her husband took it away
from hen A few minutes later a
yonng son of the woman at whose
home the difficulty occurred made the
.young woman’s husband get out of
the yard at the point of a shotgun.
Theooaple who went to the house
eloped during the. Christmas holidays
to Bonham and were married. He
had rented his farm before he married
to the woman at whose home the dif-
ficulty took place, and reoently he
and his wife moved into one of . the
tenant hoases on the farm. The wo-
man, who is a widow, having rented
the premises, went before Justioeof
Peace Ben Baraahan at Tigertown
and hsd him to serve notice on the
owner to vacate the house. As a re-
sult of the difficulty it is said that a
couple of complaints were sworn out
for disturbing the peace.—Advocate.
The Enterprise was notified by
phone yesterday that the two women
were arrested and put under bond.—
Petty Enterprise.
A Chance For Somebody.
To the first person in Comanche
county who discovers Halley’s comet
with the naked eye, the Chief is of-
fering a prize of either one Berkshire
hog or an automobile, winner to take
his choice. The second person re-
porting that (he has discovered the
whiskered visitor a bucket of eggs or
a genuine diamond ring, winner to
take his choice. The third person
making the discovery can have a sack
of flour or a corner lot in any city in
Texas having a population under 25,*
000, winner to take his choice. Details
of this contest will be announced later.
No one will be allowed to participate
except those who desire to, and it will
be necessary to bring to this office a
fragment of the comet to be entitled
to a prize.—Comanche Chief.
