Dave Patterson is one of the best

us that all the people who live
) around him are loyal when he runs
for office. As an inquirer for news
this reporter has learned of many
the rirtures but none of the vices
of people living in his community
through this same Dave. If any-
body out there ever does wrong he
either knows nothing of it or keeps
it to himself. At the same time if
it were a wrong of an unlawful
nature old Dave would be heard
from at the proper time and place.
Thats good citizenship.

If you are not feeling O. K.,
and don’t know why, better not
wait too long to find out. Your
doctor can soon diagnose your
case, and if you will bring his
prescription here we can soon
fill it with accuracy and precis-
ion, and maybe it will save you
months of pain. Only pure fresh
drugs are used here.

rest might not be bad for him.

Love, brought Jos Shlpol, a Po-
lander, to jail here Wednesday.

them anv worry.

burns, pains, etc. I)r. Cox's Barbed

turned, better qualified than ever
to render satisfactory service as

ment, and keeping abreast of the

salesman. We welcome to Staph
etiville all such men as Robert M.
Ballentine.
Prof. R. L. Krigbaum of Dublin
was kind enough lo give some of

of gratitude these pupils, through
a committee composed of Miss
Genevieve Blakeney, of Stephen-
ville, Miss Ruth Parr of Dublin
and Mr. John Hunter of Hamilton
prepared special resolutions of
thanks to the good hearted teacher.
Henry Clark was mixing with
with the Dublin reunion crowds
last week and no doubt reminded
some of the boys that the report of
his being a candidate for county
clerk next year was backed up by
the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. This ad-
mirable young son of Erath couuty,
having made such an excellent
reputation at places where he has
taught school, has gained the good
will of many of the staunchest
citizens and is sure of a fine sup-
port.
