For Mother
THE Government Demonstration work to be done in this sc. tun
this year will greatly advance th* agricultural prosperity of the
* Smithville country.
, lc T. SAUNDERS made a hundred dolars an acre from his
truck jiateh in Smithville this year and did not get an eaily
start, either. Our Coolrado VaU >y land beats the world for truck.
ACCORDING to the census Bastrop County shows a deereas ■ of
fifteen hundred souls- Must he something wrong about this. Any-
way Smithville has made a good increase.
SMITHVILLE is waiting patiently for the census people 1o i
tell us how big we are. Our school census gives ns more than
four thousand people, but whether or not Uncle Sam will eieditl
ns with this number, remains tobc seen.

SECRETARY BALLINGER'S whitewash was given to the
press yesterday hv a majority of the investigating committee- The
minority report was given out so ne months ago- The minority do
nouneed Malinger as an unfaitbf d public servant and called up-
on him to resign- But the majority report says he is (). K.
FOR YOUR SWEETHEART
Boys, our girls will help you to select something for that sweetheart ot yours,
now before all of the nice things are gone and have something nice laid away for her.
Girls, we know what the boys want most and have bought with that idea in view and it will make
the task an easy one if you will do your shopping here. Do it now while the stock is co/mplete.
We want to urge all of our friends and customers to do their shopping
early and do not wait until our stocks are broken and you afy unpble to get the
goods you want. Again, we can give you more and better si
we can later on.
AT ths season of the year the one great thought that tluols in
the heart of every unsell'i-h persm is what can I give my friends
and loved ones to increase their happiness:’ It is a crabhid and
sordid soul at this clowning summit of the year who uski what
am l going to receive.' Children expect to receive and are hap-
right'y bbalanoed adults find Heir chief
py at the thought, but
pleasure in Iriviug.

have run the course of the years w ithout fashion or eir •uni-lances
being able to banish it- The Christmas tree has supplanted the
yule log, hut this is because of its being more common and con-
venient, and of the decree of the little ones, who rather go wild
over Us beauties than marvel atlhe mysteries of time honored usj
ages.
