Town and Country
First Monday has come and gone,
ft was a gloomy day, but there was a
fair sized crowd in town to discuss
tnc problem of war and hard times.
Some Socialist speakers tell about the
need of better times and how to get
them.
There is so much mud brought in
from the country on Hie wagon wheels
and carried from the dirt streets zo
the paved streets by delivery wagons
that some of our paved streets look
almost like dirt roads, but when the
weather fairs up our street force will
get busy and soon have things look-
ing better. The mud holes in the dif-
ferent streets will he filled up as soon
a-: they can well he, so don’t kick too
much; just rest easy and think about
something else to kick about by the
time the mud holes are fil'ed up and
the water drained out of the streets.
The fanners that came over the
newly graded roads to town Monday
said they were very bad, but they
will be alright when we get the pike
roads.
Oats that were sown before the
last rain are . coming up nicely and
are looking will. Wheat is looking
better than it did a few weeks ago.
It is said by some that there is a
fine prospect for a good fruit crop
this season. It is to be hoped that we
will have plenty, of fruit this year.
Mrs. Mojiie Jones and two little
beys, Clarence and Claud, of Edhube
came in and spent a few days with
Mrs. Jones sister, Mrs. J. P. Haytoh.

munity, who is on the jury this week,

Mr. Tom F.
Dady, No. 3
Manhattan St.,
Rochester. N. Y., writes: “I was
troubled with catarrh of the head for
many years before I paid milch at-
tention to it, but .a few months ago
I was so annoyed by headaches and
difficulty in breathing through my
nose, and my eyes smarted and looked
so inflamed that I felt I must do
something to relieve this state of af-
fairs.
“I noticed one of your ads. fn the
paper, and then and there decided to
try Peruna. I am pleased to say
that it cbme up to all my expecta-
tions, for in six weeks It had driven
the catarrh out of my system and
I have not been troubled since.”
Mrs. A. J. Tleman. 1122 Wyoming
St., San Antonio,-Texas, writes: “I
suffered over nine years with catarrh
of the head, nose and ears. Five bot-
tles of Peruna have restored me my
health.”
be a wolf coming toward the house.
Knowing that wolves had been^een in
the- neighborhood he went into the
house , got his shotgun and returned
tc- a wagon that was standing in the
yard and in this he concealed himself
to await the approach of Mr. Wolf.
The animal was soon within shooting
range and seeing that it was a wolf
Mr. Norman took a deadly aim and
emptied the contents of the gun into
the beast, killing him almost instant-
ly. Near neighbors who were at-
tiacted by the report of the gun, were
soon on "the scene and when they
found that Mr. Norman had killed a
wclf a collection of over $5 was made
up among them and presented to
him. ’Tis needless to state that
there was much rejoicing over the
killing of this wolf and it is hoped
that the remainder of the tribe will
meet a like fate, for their raids have
been very costly to the farmers whose
places they have visited.
PROGRAM OF THE
BAPTIST INSTITUTE
Today is first Monday and the first
of March—a big trading day in Bon-
ham and we have already seen sev-
eral pass on their way to town with
mules and horses to trade or selL
T. -W. Luttrell shipped his laWt car
of cattle last week that he will ship
for a while. He is still buying some
though. ,
The past few days of rain have
stopped farm work and oat sowing
for a time. Some have not even be-
gun to sow oats, while others have
f’nished and their oats arfe up and
looking pretty. Some seem to think
that late oats will make as well as
early oats, but if the rain don’t come
at the right time late oats ’don’t
yield much grain.
Corn planting time is almost here
and I don’t know of a single farmer
who doesn’t have to buy seed corn,
and that at a high Price. The farm-
eic- will not stick together, but go -to
town for everything instead of saving
and buying from-each other.
There has been some very serious
sickni fi in this community since our
Iasi report, but the most of the sick
ones are much ipmroved at this writ
ing.
The Death Angel came to the
heme of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Con-
i*ally and claimed their sweet babj
of only four months. All was dom
by medical aid and loving hands that
could be done to stay the hand pf
death, but to no avail. God called
one ef His little ones to Himself.
Dear parents, only look to Him wr.o

The animals have been seen several
times and frequent hunts have been

Late Sunday afternoon Mr. Norman
happened to be out in his yard and

SUMMING UP THE EVIDENCE
Many Bonham People Havs Been
Called as Witnesses.

rheumatism, and all irregularities of
the bladder and kidneys in both men
and women. Regulates bladder tre-
bles in children. If not sold by your

ceipt of $1.00. One small bottle is
two months’ treatment, and seldom

Texas testimonials. Dr. W. E. Hall,
Week after week has been publish-
ed the testimony of Bonham people—
kidney sufferers—backache victims—
people who have endured many forms
of kidney, bladder or urinary disor-
ders. These witnesses have used
Doan’s Kidney Pills. All have given
their enthusiastic approval. It’s the
?ame everywhere. 30,000 American
men and women aTe publicly recom-
mending Doan’s" —always in the
home papers. Isn’t it a wonderful,
convincing mass of proof? If you
arc a sufferer your verdict must be
“Iry Doan’s First.”
Here’s one more Bonham case.
G. W.Crider, prop, furpiture store,
Bonham, Texas, says: “I suffered
from pain across my back and hips.
In the morning I was stiff and sore.
I knew the trouble was caused by
weak kidneys as the kidney secretions
were too frequent and painful in
passage. Doan’s Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Claypool’s Drug store, went
at once to the root of the trouble.
They removed the pain in my back
and hips and the annoyance from the
kidney secretions left.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
uimply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Crider had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
