Talking about pumpkin*—Delta
county call beat 'lie “orUi trowing | of the races is near at Uaati
them.
Did you marry what you 1 ave, or
did you make it by tti * sweat ot your
brow.
Judge P. A. Turner of Texarkana,
succeeds J udge Talbot of judge of
the 5th District.
Cooper is a dry town, yet we had
a good rain Monday night. Don t
think we needed it.
All classes of people organize for
their material benefit, but when 'he
farmers organize, there is some oue
>ready to say its a political scheme.
There are a few District Judges iu
Texas who seem to have done about
all they can do to bring the* s ate s
judiciary into public disrepute; bir ,
thank you, our J udge is not one ol
them.
The farmers are organizing over
the state and have a large oigatnza-
Uou iu Delta county. In ••Union
there is strength” and we see no lea
son why the farmers liavn’t us much
right to organize as any other class.
Betting on the! Greater Ne-w \ urk
election is at 10 to < on the Tam
many candidate who is Kx-Congress
roan Geo. B. McClellan. It is wrong
to bet—very wrong—unless the dem-
ocrat wins the republicans money,

Generally speaking the postoflice
department scandal is u built as hard
on the Republican administration as
those “Equality” buttons ate on
Teddy Roosevelt. Birds of a tenth
er win flock tegether, and chickens
will come hcnne to roost.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty, This being true the friends
of prohibition in Texas had better he
up and doing if they would preseivv
the efficacy of the prohibition law for
its enemies are at work iu an organ-
ic d effort to annihilate the law.
We realh wonder if the President
of these UifAtd Slates is at all
•stuck up’ over those “Equality’’
buttons that contain the splendid
Ilk! ness of himself ami as well
Booker Washington as tbev do • to-
gether! It is slated that negroes in
many Northern cities and communi
ties are openly parading these but-
tons oil the lapels ot their coats, and
boasts iletiantly that the “equality’’
of the races is near at hand for, as
I they think and say, the President has
' set the pace. When we contemplate
Roosevelt in the white house playing
the roll of negroequalitist—How nu
speakably deplorable the assassina-
tion of Piesideut McKinley proves to
be!
FROM WELL, KNOWN PUBLISH ER.
Our readers will be interested in
the statemt.it of Mr. John Edmond,
editor of the Daily and Weekly Cour-
ier at Lincoln, lllinoise. He says:
“L have long been a sufferer from
constitutional constipation and have
used Re—Go Tonic Laxative Sytup.
I found it an agreeab'e medicine and
just the thing for men engaged in
sedentary pursuits. I take pleasure
in recommending Re Go Tonic Luxa-
tive ^yrup us safe and effective, with-
out any griping and nauseating ef-
fects common to similar remedies.”
gold by City Drug Store—that's the
place.
State Senator Willacy, who enjoys
the sad distinction of being the au-
thor of the measure introduced in
the last Legislature that had for its
object the nullification ot the provis-
ion of our State Constitution that
I authorizes the adoption ot local no-
tion in counties and certain subdi-
visions of counties, is out in an in-
terview in which lie caustically criti-
cises the speech muue by Ex-Govem-
or Hogg recently at the Dallas Fair,
and rather severely arraigns the
portly Ex-Gcvernor. Happily for
Governor Hogg Senator Willacy’s op-
position to him lends to strengthen
him. Iu fact a great many people
love Governor Hogg for the enemies
he has made.
Whether ‘-suffrage is an is-ue now
or not, or whether it may ever be, an
expression or an opinion on any sub-
ject lor the good of an intelligent
people there are those who scout the
idea of a real inform, and yet
they cry “Reformation, or b e count-
ry will be ruined.”

Tha “foreign injunction habit” foi
lowing the odoption of county piohi-
biUou in Texas has come to be a g;g.
antic force and the sooner it is stop-
ped the better for the honor of our
state aun the sooner will the publicV
respect for the judiciary becorn-
mamfe.it.
Every candidate tor Legislative
honors should be made to commit
himself unequivocally on tins one
•question: “shall our present prohi-
bition law be strengthened or anuull-
-e<i?'' In this connection let no pro
hibitionist be deceived, and above all
tilings let him deceive not himself,
for «s Bure as life itself the enemies
of prohibition are intriguing for the
overthrow ol the prohibition law
The saloon and whisky people have
ln-cn unsuccess!ul iu their efforts to
prevent the wide spreud of local op-
tion in Texas and now they are ar-
arranging an attack on the law—
they would cripple it, and render it
so weak as to prove fut'le iu point of
efficiency. In this next election the
prohmitionists should not fad to be-
atir themselves. A hint to the wise
is sufficient.
chamberlain's cough remedy.
No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. It r:ot only cures
colds and grip effectually and per-
manently, but prevents these diseas-
es from resulting in pneumonia It
is ulso a certain cure for croup
Whooping cough is not dangerous
when this remedy is given. It con-
tains no opium or oilier harmful sub-
stance and may be given as confident
ly to a baby he to an adult, it is
also pleasant to take. Wben all of
these facts ore taken into considers
tion it is not surprising that people
in foreign lands, as well as at home,
esteem this remedy very highly and
very few are willing to take any oth-
er after having used it. For sale by
all druggists.
Last Sunday was said to be the
biggest days run for the Midland

las, and the train men suv that other
towns along the line furnished their
proportionate number. It was also
saw! to have been the toughest run
on the return trip that has been made
this season. Druukenesn, fighting
and carousing seemed to be the chief
amusement, notwithstanding the fact
that officers were stationed in nearly
every coach of the train. One tough
from the vicinity of Howland became
so boisterious, and so vile in both
speech and manner, that wben ac-
costed bv one officer became so wild
that both his hands and feet had to
be handcuffed. This fellow was
taken off at Greenville ami put up
in the county jail. He ought to have
to stay there all his life, as should
anyone else who would act in a like
manner.
AnJ Wha: is “Success”?
It in personal it j that makes one a
success in business, in society or in
politics The weak colorless person,
hi : unsought bu ll at home and abroad,
bus hs many personalities as be lias
acquaintancem, ea'-li plays i pou lum
a tune and there are many melodies
and many d: >cords, but no two just
alike.
He who has the strongest person,
nitty is always the sames, there is | __
uniformity in Ins manner because I
there is uniformity in his thought j
and in his convictions; he is consist
ent.
The man who goes through life
listening for the cue which is to de-
termine his action has no force, no
personality. He never thiuks twice
alike, for he has no thoughts ot his
own; he never acts twice alike, tie-
cause he is what everyone else makes
him, No one can possess a person-
ality without having thought things
out fer himself and having arrived at
conclusions of his own.
To be recognized as a factor in
this world one must have personality.
Men who are heard from are either
“somebody’’or “nobody.’’ It de-
pends upon the “kind” of personali-
ty whether he goes up or down.
The rig lit kind of personality can
lie cultivated
There are those so narrow minded
that they will laugh at one who at-
tempts to cultivate in himself even a
genteel bearing or a generous spirit,
insisting that ho is as the Lord made
him and that to make himself over is
to deceive.
Is the gardner deceiving us when j
he cultivates bis favorite rose tree j
until the flower Lias reached perfec-
tion? He is only giving us the best!
his garden and his skill affords.
In it deceit to try to make the
most of our talents, of our good i
points, and to give to the world the |
best of ourselves while at the same j
time we are cultivating the kind of a j
personality necessary to make us [
“somebodies?’’
To make oneself over is not to dis-
simulate To give always of the best!
within us is not to deceive.
Then let us go at it sjslematically ]
and conscientiously to become wliat
we wish to be, 10 possess ourselves
with a personality which we believe
is the right kind, and then alwajs to
present that personality to everyone^
family, f ri eu d s, acquaintances,
stranger, foe.
We err when we think we oursel
ves achieve our succes-es We ate
successful because our friends and
their friends’ friends believe in us;
anil their iieliet or dish-diet is in pro-
portion to strength aud agreeableuess
of our personalities.
Pleasantness, courtesy, kindness,
honesty, earnestness, all go to make
up the right kind of a personality.

Mr. John Ratliff' requests the little
girls who ara competing for the
Buck’s stove, to nring in their adver-
tisements as they collect them in
twenty-live or fifty lots, that they
may be counted as collected so that
oil the last day trouble aud confusion
will be saved. As the “ads” are
brought iu they will be counted and
a receipt given for them. An ac-
count will be opened with each little
girl where she will be given credit
as she brings iu her papers. Evety
page “Ad” in the Review of the
Cooper Mercantile Company until the
contest closes will count The Re-
view would like to have the names of
the little girls that are competing or
intend to compete. We have been
asked a great many questions con-
cerning the manner of getting extra
papers from the Review office which
we will answer now hopiDg all wili
understand. There will he no possi-
ble way to get extra papers from us
except by getting them as premiums
tor cash subscribers or getting old
subscribers to pay cash on tneir sub-
scription account. This gives every
little girl an equal showing and a
fair chance Remember we give
eight “Ads” to a > eai’s subscription,
four for six months aud two for three
months. Go to work girls aDd see
what you can do. Even if you fail,
it will give you expenence that will
help you to get something else some
other time. We do not know what
we can do until we try.
