heart. The groom is a young

A dollar spent at home reacts
in its benefits with unceasing
general profit. Sent out of town
its life is ended. Kept with the
home merchant it is a messenger
of continuous benefit. Business
men should awake to the impor-
tance of keeping this dollar at
home and make a bid for it by
judicious advertising.—Yoakum
Times.

Advice to Boys.
Replying to a recent inquiry
Mr. Bryan said:
There is no new advice to give
to boys, and there are now
no new boys to advise. The
boy is the same that he has been
and he is not likely to change
much in the time to come. His
impulses are the same that they
were centuries ago; the dangers
that confront him confronted his
father and his grandfather in
their boyhood days. If I were
suggesting a warning to boys I
would not suggest a better one
than that embodied in the text,
“The wages of sin is death.”
That is the law, and it cannot be
repealed. The honest, truthful,
industrious boy will succeed in
proportion ,to his intelligence,
but no intelligence can make up
for lack of honesty, truthfulness
or industry—especially is it im-
possible to substitute anything
for honesty and truthfulness.
Laziness will limit one’s accom-
plishment whatever his other
good qualities may be, but he
can outgrow laziness just as he
can outgrow lack of education or
intelligence, but it is much more
difficult to outgrow a lack of hon-
esty or a lack of truthfulness.
Possibly I ought to suggest
that patience is a virtue which
should be added to the ones al-
ready mentioned. Impatience
has led many young men to ruin;
they have not been willing to
wait for a fortune to come
through legitimate accumulation,
and through their haste to get
rich they have fallen. The boy
should “learn to labor and to
wait.” Character is built slow-
ly; but it can be lost in a day.
The farmer must wait from seed
time until harvest, however long
it may seem, before he gathers
his crop, and so the boy must be
willing to plant in the spring-
time of life for the harvest that
he will gather when he is grown.
—The Commoner.
Webster Miller is closing out
his business here and will leave
in a few days for Lampasas,
where he will make his future
home. Mr. Miller has developed
the San Saba Nursery until it
was just getting to where/it
yielded him a profitable return on
his investment. His parents are
getting old and the other children
have families of their own. It is
commendable in a man to sacri-
fice his financial interests in
order to care for and make pleas-
ant the declining days of his pa-
rents.— San Saba News.
Joe Field, of the Eldredge &
Field ranch, is circulating a pe-
tition asking the commissioners’
court of Burnet county to grade
and repair the road from the
Lampasas county line to the
town of Briggs in Burnet county.
Mr. Field is also interested in the
general improvementof the roads
throughout the county, and it is
probable the Burnet county com-
missioners may be asked to fol-
low a system patterned after that
now in practice in Lampasas
county.
Sow Worth $150.
Hon. G. A. Walters has a Po-
land Chinn sow of which he is
proud. Last year she bore 30
pjgs which he sold at $5 a head,
making a net profit of $150, for
he says he kept her with slop and
refuse about the home. If there
is any way to manipulate figures
to make a good hog a losing
proposition we have never heard
of it. Mr. Walters knows a good
thing and says his sow is not for
sale.—San Saba News.
