The Pearsall Independent School
district comprised only sixteen
square miles at the beginning of
the year, and the taxes from this
i barely pay the expense of an eight
months school However, there
, j will be a different order of things,
;>0 and it is probable that many de-
sirable and needed additions to
the school can be made. The dis-
trict now comprises about forty-
live square miles, and it is hoped
—- that this will be the last year of
hardship for the Pearsall schools-

THE DROUTH AND COTTON.
The Government report on the
condition of the cotton crop was
rather a sensational document. It
showed the lowest condition aver-
age but one for ten years, the per-
centage given being 68.2 of norm-
al, which is a loss of 11.4 points
compared with a month ago. With
the exception of a few of the States
on the Atlantic seaboard all the
States' show deterioration. The
largest losses in conditions were
however, in Texas and Oklahoma,
the big decrease in the State of 86
points indicating a crop disaster of
the first proportions. It is not
surprising that such a condition
shown by the Government should
have rushed prices up $8 per bale
and it is wortli nothing that since
the present drouth first commenc-
ed to do damage, cotton has gained
fully $9 a bale.
Even assuming that the Govern-
ment condition average rather ex-
aggerates the situation, there can
be no denying that the crop in the
western half of the belt has deteri-
oration rapidly and that the deteri-
oration is gradually extending to
portions of the central section.
The advance has, however, been
accelerated by the fact that the
consumtion of the fleecy staple by
the world has proven surprisingly
large, exceeding by a considerable
amount the production of the past
season, thus compelling foreign
spinners to draw on their reserve
snpplies to a considerable extent.
The new season has, therefore,
opened with a much smaller visible
and invisible supply than last year,
hence if trade continues as good as
as it was last year the world will
require a 15,000,000 bale crop.—

Taking Calomel Means Staying Home
/ for the Day— Take Dodson's Liver
Tone and Save a Day's Work.
If an attack of constipation or
biliousness hits you, there’s no
need to take a dose of calomel and
spend at least a day getting over
the effects of it. Mercer Drug Cb.
sells the liver tonic, Dodson’s
Liver Tone, that takes the place of
calomel and starts a lazy liver
without any bad after-effects.
Dodson’s Liver Tone does all
the good that calomel euer did,
yet it is absolutely harmless to
young people and old. It is a
pleasant-tasting vegetable liquid
that will releive constipation or
sour stomach or other troubles
that go along with a lazy liver,
without restriction of habit or
diet. -You don’t leave off any of
the things you regularly do when
you take Dodson’s Liver Tone-
H. A. Mercer Drug Co , sell
Dodson’s Liver Tone and give, it
a strong personal guarantee. They
say, “A large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone sells for 50 cents, and
we will hand any person back his
50 cents if he tries a bottle and
doesn’t say that it does all that
calomel ever does and does it
pleasantly. Get the genuine Dod-
son’s Liver Tone and if you are
not pleased with it we will give
your money back with a smile.”

Diarrhoea Quickly Cared.
I was taken with diarrhoea and Mr.
Yorks, the merchant here, persuaded
me to try a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
After taking one dose of it I was cured.
It also cured others that l gave it to,”
writes M E. Gebhart, Oriole, Pa. That
is not at all unusual- An ordinary at-
tack of diarrhoea can almost invariably
be cured by one or two doses of this
remedy. For sale by all dealers.
