Old Ex-Confedi Give Another
Dining.
Three yean* had passed aince
the local Camp of Ex-Confeder-
ates aoldiera had given one of
their b»g dinners, and everybody
that had dined with them on pre-
vious occasions was ready to
hearken to the invitation to meet
around their board at the City
Hall, last Saurday at the noon
hour. The Daughters of the
Confederacy had kindly agreed
to serve dinner for the Camp, so
all the old Veterans had to do
was to have the victuals there in
time to spread the table. Like
the dinings the Vets always get
up, it was fine, very fine.
A number of the comrades who
enjoyed the feast of three years
ago were missing, having “Cross-
ed Over” since that happy event.
The ex-soldiers present Saturday
were: A. L. Murphy, W. I*. Orr,
C. Z, Hollingsworth, L. H.
George, G. S. White, F. M.

DON’T EXPERIMENT
You Will Make No Mistakes if
You Follow Tills Ntepheu-
viII Citizen’s Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back,
urinary disorders, dizziness and
nervousness, it's time to act and
no time to experiment. These
are common symptoms of kidney
trouble, and you should seek a
remedy which is recommended
for the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills is the
remedy to use. No need to ex-
periment. It has cured many
stubborn cases in Stephenville.
Follow the advice of a Stephen-
ville citizen.
I). II. Moore, 400 W. College
St., Stephenville, Texas, says:
“Doan’s Kidney Pills have been
used by a member of my family
with excellent results. The case
was one very common to young
people, that of kidney weakness.
There was little control over the
kidney secretions and of course
this was annoying. Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills, procured from Perry
Bros’. Drug Store, went at once
to the seat of the complaint and
disposed of it. It gives me pleas-
ure to recommend this remedy to
other kidney sufferers.”
For sale by all dealers. Price

EVERYTHING AND LUMBER
A good many people in this
city are unaware that a Fair was
leld here last weyk. But there
was, and it was an alFair which
or fairness was fairer than any
air this editor has ever attend-
ed. The fair sex had charge of
it, and that may account for it
being such a fair Fair. It was
held in the college chapel Satur-
day night by the Y. W. C. A. of
that institution. The hall had
been prettily decorated for the
occasion, especially the four
xwths where they sold eatables
and drinkables.
At one of these places Misses
Marguerite Jenks aud lone Long
served splendiferous hot choco-
late and the establishment just
west of theirs was a cake and
pie factory under the supervision
of Misses Alice Holt, Zona Dix-
on, Eleanor Rohatch, and^Mary
Rankin; the products fromjthis
booth were simply exquisitori-
ous. On the southeast corner of
the square a candy booth was
operated by Misses Delphia Rus-
sell, Ileta Griffith and La Rue
Hawkins, and the sweets they
sold were delicitatively plumba-
cious. And now for words to
tell of the last but not least booth
at the Fair, where the lovely
Japanese decorations were so
charmingly displayed. Oh yes,
we have it! It was Superfinifer-
ous and the tea and sanwiches
served there by Misses Myrtle
LeVerett and Carrie Belle Mc-
Cardell were perfectly excellen
tious.
There was also a fortune tell-
ers stand, where Miss Minnie
Mayhew took in a lot of nickles
at five cents per tell, and caused
lota of merriment by the manner

of relating her prophecies. All
told the receipts of the Fair wa
about twenty dollars. The prices
being so moderate is why we de-
nominate it a fair Fair.
Take our advice ye lovers of
of good things to eat and drink,
and never miss another Y. W.
C. A. Fair. Mrs. Empire and
myself took in the entire exhi-
bition except the fortune tellers
tent, for only four bitts, and I
had a million dollar dream that
night. Thought the Empire had
moved into a building of its own,
which was fourteen stories high
and was about to drive the Dallas
News from the field with our su-
perior daily. But we still stick
to it that the piesancandy an^
teasanwitch and chochotolate
were fine, very fine.
