I- have been hard at work since
last Monday and have seen very
few people to gather news from.
Everybody is too busy now to
think much about the affairs of
even the neighborhood.
The rain on tbe 1st was ■
good thing at the right time. It
was badly needed. Since then I
never saw crops grow faster, or
loosing better.! Cotton, on ac*
count of so much replanting Is
vary spotted. Some of it is form-
ing squares had some not yet
above the; ground. . Wind and
rain tangled wheat and oats bad
ly in some fields, but I think it
can all be saved if we have no
more storms before it is cut.
Harvest is going on rapidly
and if the dry weather continues
it «tll be soon over. Many new
binders and thrashers have been
bonght this year. I don’t know
wall they are tilled, but both
wheat and oats have the longest
heads I ever saw.
Gardens are doing fine.
Peaches.have fallen off until
the crop will not be ao large as it
promised earlier in the season.
Plums have nearly alt fallen off
and the black berries show a
light crop.
Tbe brick work on the new
brick building here is nearly
completed. The town is looking
much better now and when tbe
improvements are completed it
can be called a nice town—one of
the nicest of its size in the ccun-
try.

You can (ret along without taking

very glsd to see them for they

People are sometimes thought-
less and unreasonable. Some
blame officers for what they do
and others for what the? fail to
do. • There has been some talk
of building a restroom for ladies
coming in from the country and
every man I have talked with is
in tavor of it and in favor of the
county building it, though 1 hear
ot some opposing it, claiming it
is a scheme to improve tbe town
at the expense ot the country.
Now the town has no use for
such a room. Town women don’t
'need a place to rest when they
go on the streets. It is very fool
ish, anyway to trv to array the
courtry against the town. While
the country builds up the towo
vet one is necessary for tbe
other. The town produces noth-
ing and has to buy from the
country, and as I heard a huck-
ster say, "the more people living
4U town, the more chickens I can
sell.”,

tion* and can only drop a few
hints for others 'to consider.

Where-be lives, and when im-

Grandma Lee was able to go

Mr. Hugh Lee, who went

expected to find it.
Mr. VlL Y. McEiwee and wife

We were made sad yesterdav,
when the news came that Mrs.
N*al Palmer was so low. She
went to Dillas some time ago
and improved last at first, but
it was only for a short time. She
has been in poor health for some
time. It seems unjust for one so
young and beautiful to be cut
down and have to suffer as dear
little Virgie, but that is some-
thing we can not uuderstand.

When digging don’t let them
be exposed to the hot sun, no not
for an hour. Store them, spread
them in the coolest place you
have or can mature where they
can have good light but not ex-
posed to tbe sun.
By planting time they will be
ripened, and will have turned a
green color with buds showing
ready to grow. As they are
small don't cut them as the flesh
of tbe seed is the food ot the
young plant. Don’t coyer them
too deep when planting, but as
needed earth them up, as every
bud of the young plant covered
up becomes a potato, while every
bud above the surface becomes a
secondary branch.
Of course it is expected that
this seed will be planted any
time from tbe middle of July to
the middle of August as a second
crop, but can be carried over as
seed for next spring if so desired.

J. M Lawrence, who lives near
Bonham* Jims just recently made
a record from the amount ot but-
ter that can be made and actually
sold from the milk of one cow.
He tells us that in two months
he sold 94 pounds of butter and
that in addition to that two fam-
ilies had all they wanted to eat,
which would at least make 20
pounds additional. Tbe cow
th^at produced this amount is a

years old. He was offered $50
for the calf at the age of one
month.

green thorny-leaved, fruit-bear-
ing shrub native to the South-
west of Texas, but extending to
sheltered canyons ot the Pala-

plains. It has not yet been
brought into general cultivation,
but deserves to be. both for
fruit and ornament. r

Col J. F. Wolters, erstwhile

legislative,of the Pullman Palace
Car Co. and bead and front of
the liquor interests in Texas,
might take a day off and study
carefully that plank in the plat-
fprm recently adopted by the
Democrats of Texas concerning
campaign contributions. Col.
Wolters is rather vigorously on
record against this doctrine, his
idea being, judging from his con-
duct before the investigating
committee, money should be ac-
cepted from any source possible,
as much as possible and it an in-
quisitive public gets to nosing
around too much tell them to go
to. This and other planks may
furnish Col. Wolters food for
thought—Wills Point Chronicle.

in Texas, Their Past Services,
Future Possibilities and Present

Tbe bulletin shows what the
people ttfay reasonably expect ot
the State institutions of higher
education, what these schools

are now doing, and what they
could do under the more favora-
ble conditions of proper finan-
cial support; and discusses tbe
needs of the State’s institutions
of higher education.
Our institutions of higher edu-
cation should prepare men and
women for the most useful citi-
zenship, for efficiency in the va-
rious occupations, industrial and
otherwise; they should apply
technical learning to the various
resources ot business and philan-
thrope; they should contribute to
the sum of human knowledge,
offering advantages to all people
of the State through extention
lectures and correspondence
courses.
To accomodate tha needs of
the student body, which exceeds
3,000 annually in all departments
and to serve Texas in the largest
and most useful wav, the Uni-
versity should have a larger
teaching force, more buildings,
better equipment, and additional
courses o! instruction It is con-

Texas needs, at the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College,
where the number ot students
has increased from 500 to 1126
within tbe past five years, sever-
al new buildings and additional
instructor, in order that efficien-
cy may be increased along tech-
nological lines and that the in
stitution may peiform its duty
to the people.
Likewise the College of Indus-
trial Arts and the four State
Normal schools should be pro-
vided with additional buildings,
new departments, more teachers,
additional dormtoiry and labora-
tory facilities to meet present
demands.
It is also shown that the pri-
vate, endowed and denomination-
al schools have rendered invalu-
able service to tbe State, and
that they are rightly entitled to
adequate support,
The discussion closes with dia-
grams and tables of statistics of
tbe following fourteen leading
States with respect to tbeir in-
stitutions of higher education:
Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri,
Michigan, Indiana. California,
Wisconsin Iowa, Minnesota, Kan-
sas, Nebraska. Colorado and
North Dakota. Of these four-
teen States, Texas rankstthird in
population; but in the financial
support of higher education, the
following interesting compari-
sons indicates tbe rank of Texas:
Total income, 13th; income per
inhabitant, 14:b; income
$1,000 property, 12th; income
per student, 14th; income from
State tax and appropriation, 10th;
income from other sources, in-
cluding tuition tees, 9th; teach-
ers per 100 students. 14th; value
of buildings, 8rh. Our institu-
tions-of higher education should
be made as good as the best.
WHY? pay $35 to $38 a yeat
on a twenty payment life policy
of $1000 at age 35, when one-
third of that will carry your pro-
tection on a like amount in many
good companies; when if you
die on your twenty year journey,
you would not only save to your
estate tbe insurance, but 25 to 30
dollars a year and interest,up to
date of death. But if you should
live the 20 years you will have
saved thirteen hundred dollars

scourge Wall street at times.
But Mr. Bryan has said that it
