Any erroneous reflection upon the
character, reputation or standing of
any firm, individual or corporation,
will b® gladly corrected upon being
railed to th® attention of the publish-

Entered at the postoffice at Bonham,
Texas, as. second class mail matter
pany for the most of us. The
corn stalk standing in the field
today v/ill not sigh dismally
when the buskers leap over the
fence, and throwing their arms
around the stack swing it to the
ground; it is only to take the
golden ear from the husk.
Death for the aged Christian is
only husking time, and then the
load goes in from the frosts in-
to the garner. Our congratula-
tions to those who are nearly
done with the nuisances of this
world. Give your staff to your
little grandson to ride horse on .
You will have no need for
crutches. May the clouds
around the setting sun be gold-
en and such as lead the “Weath-
er wise” to prophesy a clear
morning.

Both houses of the New York
legislature have authorized the
operating of picture shows after
2 p. m. on Sundays. It is un-
derstood that the governor will
sign the bill. The modern dis-
regard for the Sabbath is a
great mistake.
GROWING OLD.
A man has been arrested in
Tennessee for selling account
books to farmers for $5 each,
I see that the government has
appropriated money to establish
a postoffice at Honey Grove.
Honey Grove is a thriving com-
munity and should have had a
post office a long time ago.:—
The Dallas Pitchfork.
We v/ill agree with Col.
Pitchfork that Honey Grove
should have had a postoffice of ;
some description several years
ago . But the postal department
is slow and deliberate in its
operations and it requires con-
sderable time to get some: of the
smaller villages off of the Star
routes and give them a regular
post office. However, we con-
gratulate Honey Grove on being-
able to secure a post office after
being on the may for about 75
years.
The Dallas News Snap shoot-
er says: “The only thing we
don’t like about a bull frog is
that we can’t tell by his tone
whether he’s singing or'swear-
ing.” ’Seasy, he’s trying to
make a noise: like a Socialist fa •

so long since he chucked Mrs.
Peavish under the chin that if
he were to try it now probably
she would hit him before she
realized he was playing with
her.—Snap Shots in Dallas

wife so cool and indifferent as
Mr. Peavish admits he treats

glasses look premature on a
young man’s nose, they are an
adornment to an octogenarian’s
face. Besides that, when your
eyesight is poor you miss seeing
a great many things—unpleas-
ant things—that the youngsters
are obliged to look at. Do not
be worried because your ear is
becoming dull. In that way you
can escape being bored with
many of the things that are

Spending money is not essen-

what for that counts.
I am doing all I can to improve the
orchard conditions in Fannin County,
and to that end, I spent a week last
July attending the Farmer’s -Short
Course at College Station.
The. Short Course was planned and
arranged to meet the needs of men,
women, boys and girls who desire
make farming more profitable, and
farm life more comfortable and at-
tractive.
Separate courses were given in the
following departments: Agricultural
Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Hus-
bandry, Dairy Husbandry,. Entomolo-
gy, Horticulture Plant Diseases, Poul-
try and Veterinary Medicine.
I took the Horticulture course.
Every orchard problem was discuss-
ed by competent men, who have made
the orchard business a success. Dem-
onstrations were given to show how
easily and efficiently the orchard work
could be -done. Statistics were given
to prove that scientific methods were
profitable. Varieties of different
fruits of known value and fine quali-
ties of fruits and their adaptability
to the different sections of the State
were discussed. The new origina-
tions which are being perfected were
interesting, especially the thornless
blackberry which is being perfected by
Prof. Ness. The demonstrations on
budding and grafting pecans and the
different phases of their culture' was a
valuable lesson. I am sure that I
never spent a more profitable and en-
joyable week.
The real value of any of the sepa-
rate courses will have to be experi-
enced by am individual to be appre-
ciated.

Let the Children Grow.
Coughs, colds, ‘‘snuffles,” that
hang on tend, to weaken the system
and a suffer ing, neglected child
spends so much strength combating
a cold that the little one cannot grow
as fast and sound in body as when
free from affliction. Foley’s Honey
and Tar is splendid for coughs, colds
croup, whooping cough.—J. W.
Peeler.
“Spring Fever” and Common Sense
Instead of giving up and saying
you have “spring fever” it is ‘mbTffjj
sensible to take- a good, wholesome
physic. Biliousness, sick headaches,
sour stomach, bloating, coated ton-
gue—all are banished by Foley Ca-
thartic Tablets. B'. B. Haward, Un-
adilla, Ga., writes: “Foley Cathartic
Tablets give quick relief.”—J. W.
Peeler.
