RICE AT MORRILL.
Big Orchard Company Intends Putting
in Rice Fields.
The Morrill Fruit and Truck
company is one of the biggest en-
terprises of its kind in Texas, if
not'in the entire South. The
company owns 13,000 acres of
land on the Cotton Belt railroad
four mile’s south of Alto, in
|Oherokee county. This vast
l body of land extends from
the railroad west to the Ne-
elies river, a distance of three
miles. In addition to 1,000
acres which has been put in peach
trees the company will next year
plant a considerable acreage in
rice. They have a large area of
land that is of a wet and marshy
nature and pronounced to be
well adapted to rice culture. A
pumping plant has been installed
on the Neches river, and from
thence water will be conveyed to
the rice farm, which is nearly
three miles away.—Beuumont

A Beautiful Thought.
The following from Mr. Bryan,
in a speech in Indiana, is a gem.
None but the patriotic and
matchless Bryan could have
thought it:
“For the benefit of’our silver
democrats, let me refer to a Bi-
ble incident. I quote Scripture
because I have never found an-
other book that con tains as much
fctruth as the Bible. I recall the
dan adopted by Solomon to as-
fcain the real mother of two
len who claimed the same
Id. The wise man proposed
j the child be divided, giving
[If co each woman. The wo-
whose child it was not, con-
led to the division, but the
Ian whose child it was, said:
let the other have it, but let
[diild live. ’ Eight years ago
was a contest in our party
borne who claimed to love
Icratic principles better
re, were willing to have the
divided and a republican
lent elected. Now it is our
be tested. I hope I speak
^vho voted fqrjne when I
cy that we would rather surren-
der the organization for this cam-
paign than to permit the enemy
to win a victory through our di-
vision. We are not willing that
the party should die. It has
rendered too great service in the
past; it is too necessary at pres-
ent, and its future contains too
much of value for the human
race. It must not die.”
Constipation
Health is absolutely impossible
if constipation be present. Many
serious cases of liver and kidney
complaint have sprung from neg-
lected constipation. Such a de-
plorable condition is unneces-
sary. There is a cure for it.
Herbine will speedily remedy
matters. C. A. Lindsey, P. M.,
Bronson, Fla., writes, Feb. 12,
1902: “Having tried Herbine, I
find it a fine medicine for consti-
pation.” 50c a bottle. * Johnson

There’s a lot of fun in this
world if we would keep our fun
eyes open and our hearts attun-
ed to joy. Did you ever note
how your very soul is lightened
and buoyed by the mere mental
turning of self to the gladsome
side? Teach your thoughts to
run in a channel bathed in the
sunlight of good cheer. Dwell
upon the flowers that grow be-
side the road, rather than the
dust on the turnpike. Laughter
and good cheer lighten many a
burden and make the tedious
way a ramble in a woodland
path. Wake up to the delight-
someness of the bird’s sweet
melodies. Sing as you travel on
'syour way and God’s eternal
morning will dawn upon you
when life’s tempestuous voyage
will, for you, have ended.—
Crawley News.
Trials of Winter.
Do not permit yourself to be a
victim to a cold or cough. They
lead to pneumonia, consumption
and elsewhere. Be wise; use
'Simmon’s Cough Syrup. It
cures coughs, heals lungs and
will keep you right here to enjoy
the beauties of spring.
When is Success a Failure?
When you have lost on your
way up to your fortune your self-
respect, your courage, your self-
control or any other quality of
manhood.
When it has made conscience
an accuser, and shut the sun-
light out of your life.
When the attainment of your
ambition has blighted the aspira-
tions and crushed the hopes of
others.
When your highest brain cells
have been crowded out of busi-
ness by greed.
When you plead that you never
had time to cultivate your friend-
ships, politeness or good man-
ners.
When you have lived a double
life and practiced double dealing.
When it brings you no mes-
sage of culture, education, travel,
or of opportunities to help oth-
ers.
When it dwarfs, cramps or in-
terferes with another’s rights;
when it blinds you to the inter-
ests of the man at the other end
of the bargain.
When there is a dishonest or a
deceitful dollar in your posses-
sion; when your fortune spells
the ruin of widows and orphans,
or the crushing of the opportuni-
ties of others.
When the hunger for more
money, more land, more houses
and bonds has grown to be your
dominant passion.
When it has made you a phys-
ical wreck—a victim of “nerves”
and moods.
When you have used others as
stepping-stones to fortune, -and
ignored their existence when
your selfish ends were attained.
When your children do not
look upon you as their best friend
next to their mother.
When you are gloomy and pes-
simistic, when you spread dis-
couragement and despair wher-
ever you go; when you can see no
good in anyone, no success in
any achievement, but in piling
up dollars, then, no matter how
great your apparent success,
you are a colossal failure.—Ori-
son Swett Marden in the Octo-
ber Success.
Cured Consumption
Mrs. B. W. Evans, Clearwaner,
Kan., writes: “My husband lay
sick for three months. The doc-
tors said that he had quick con-
sumption. We procured a bottle
of Ballard’s Ilorehound Syrup,
and it cured him. That was six
years ago. Since then we have
always kept a bottle in the house.
We cannot do without it. For
coughs and colds it has no equal.”

In these days of rush and
worry and -pretense, how does
the following idea of William
Ellery Channing strike you:
“To live content with small
means; to seek elegance rather
than luxury, and refinement
rather than fashion; to be worthy,
not respectable; and wealthy,
not rich; to study hard, think
quickly, talk gently, act frankly;
to listen to stars and birds,babes
and sages, with open hearts; to
bear it all cheerfully, do all
bravely, await occasions, hurry
never; in a word, to let the
spiritual, unbidden and uncon-
scious grow up through the
commonplace.” Nobody does
these things now. Did anybody
really ever?—Ex.
Saved Him.
“It did not kill me, but I think
it would if it had not been for
Hunt’s Cure I was tired, miser-
able and well nigh used up when
I commenced using it for an old
and severe case of Eczema. One
application relieved and one box
cured me. “I believe Hunt’s
Cure will cure any form of itch-
ing known to mankind.”
Clifton Lawrence,
Helena, O. T.
They have been enforcing the
Sunday law in Kentucky to the
extent of closing up the livery
stabies. There is where the
Kentucky heart is touched. Un-
less a Kentuckian caiyride every
day in the week, life is not worth
the living to him. He keeps his
drinkables at home, hence the
closing of the bar r^ms does
not affect his happiness materi-
ally.—Mabank Courier.
A Word with Democrats.
Every man is responsible for
his influence, be it small or great.
Every democrat who votes for
Parker votes to defeat Roosevelt.
Every democrat who does not
vote for Parker contributes to-
ward the election of Roosevelt.
On every question upon which
Judge Parker’s position is open
to criticism, President Roose-
velt’s position is worse; where
they differ, as they do on many
important questions, Parker is
right and Roosevelt is wrong.
Roosevelt favors a high tariff;
Parker favors tariff reform.
Roosevelt favors a standing army
of 60,000 at the minimum; Park-
er favors a reduction of the
army.
Roosevelt has brought the
race issue into national politics;
Parker would remove the race
issue from politics.
Roosevelt stands for colonial
policy; Parker favors independ-
ence for the Filipinos and
would make the promise now.
Roosevelt took into the white
house a spirit of war; Judge
Parker would substitute for it
spirit of peace.
Four years more of Roosevelt
would make economic and indus-
trial reform more difficult; Judge'
Parker’s election would clear the
way for economic issues. Let
no democrat, by voting against
Parker or by refusing to vote,
take upon himself responsibility
for four years more of Roose-
veltism.—Bryan’s Commoner.
The following is clipped from
the Baptist Standard, in which
appears the present greatness
of the South, and the colossal
proportions of the prospective
future:
“The material and industrial
growth of the South is a marvel
in the markets of the world. Ac-
cording to a wise and cautious
expert in such matters, the
South of today has more wealth
than the whole United States
had at the outbreak of the civil
war. And the end is not yet,
indeed the prophets of commerce
and the captains of finance say
we are but at the dawn of the
day, and the visions they un-
cover for the future, even for
the next fifty or even twenty-five
years, are enchanting beyond
compare. This condition brings
to the Southern people grave
responsibilities with tremendous
opportunities as to what they
contribute to the national life
toward giving our nation rank
among the nations of the earth.
What manner of people shall we
be with all this growing power?
That is a question for statesmen,
but also for every private citi-
zen who loves his country and
wishes for his country’s safety,
nobleness, and a conspicuous
place for honor among the
nations.—Mt. Vernon Herald.
Never Disappoints.
“Many extensively advertised
remedies are failures when put
to the test. Hunt’s Lightning
Oil is an exception. Confidence
in it is never misplaced—disap-
pointment never follows its use.
It is surely the grandest emer-
gency remedy now obtainable.
For cuts, burns, aches and pains,
I know no equal. ”
Geo. E Padilock,
Doniphan, Mo.
There has been on exhibition
in Timpson several days a re-
markable negro woman, Nancy
J. Reese. She was born without
arms, but she can do with her
feet what other women do with
their hands, such as the work
that is generally dope about the
home. She makes up beds,
washes dishes, threads needles,
and offers five dollars to any wo-
man who does better sewing
with her hands than she does
with her feet.—Timpson Times.

prise, who said Bro. Ford was a

Found Long Lost Boy.
A ten-year-old boy, who was
lost from his widowed mother
during the Galveston storm on
the night of Sept. 8, 1900, was
recently located on a srnall farm
just eaM of Dallas, and taken
home.
The boy, it is said, came to
Dallas looking for a home shortly
after the storm, having made an
unsuccessful attempt to locate
his mother, and was taken in by
a farmer and given a good home.
The names of the parties in
the case could not be learned.
The boy was located about two
weeks ago.—Dallas Times-Herald
Back to the Docks.
Dispatches from Galveston
make record of the fact that the
Hon. Miles Crowley, who repre-
sented that district in congress
for- one term, is now a cotton
screwman and is earning the
union scale of seven dollars a day
in loading cotton in that port.
Incidentally Miles is the deirnr
cratic candidate for county at-
torney. He is a lawyer, but as
business in that line has not
been very brisk lately he has
gone back to his old work, which
is about as hard manual labor as
can be discovered.—Pine Bluff
Graphic.
Ruling on Voting Age.
Austin, Texas, October 25.—
The attorney general rules that
a man is entitled to vote where
his birthday follows the day of
the general election. In other
words that a man is 21 years of
age on the day preceding his
birthday, and enters his twenty-
second year on the anniversary
of his birth.
Many enterprises that are
termed successes, are curses
rather than blessings. A suc-
cessful gambler, ora successful
liquor dealer, or a successful
thief is one who makes money in
his avocation. Success, measur-
ed by dollars and dimes, is not
always success, measured by
higher moral standards, yet we
regret to say this measure of
success is the most popular.—Ex.
to harness Niagaras, to
make wax speak and pictures
move—these have been the deeds
of the poets of our generation.
The things that were dreamed of
in the ‘Arabian'Nights’ have be-
come realities—and yet they say
this is a prosaic age! It is seeth-
ing with romauce; young men
talk the impossible on street cor-
ners and across little tables—
and then make it come true. The
spirit of achievement is the spir-
it of imagination and hope.
These men delight to live, de-
light to plan and dream and ham-
mer out results. Nothing stag-
gers them—and failure or suc-
cess is greeted with a smiling
face.”

His Mind is a Complete Blank.
Port Arthur, Texas, Oct 27.—
Mr. Wukash, who was hurt in
the explosion of an oil tank some
weeks since, has nearly recover-
ed his health, but his mind is a
blank as to what happened be-
fore the explosion, and he does
not recognize his friends.
It has been necessary for him
to learn his own name and many
other facts which are important
to him. He is expected to fully
recover in all save his memory,
but this is problematical.
In the Southern part of Louis-
iana, where numerous negro ex-
cursions are run during the''
summer months, the managers
of the various railroads permit
the “leaders” to prepare their
own advertising matter. The
following from a poster gives a
very good example of a negro’s
idea of advertising:
“Everything possible will be
done to entertain the excursion-
ists. There will be brass bands,
cake walks, base ball, and two
funerals will be preached that
day by leading divines.”
The four conferences of the
Methodist Episcopal church,

November 9th, West Texas con-
ference at Cuero; November
16th, Northwest Texas con-
ference at Mineral Wells;
November 23rd, North Texas
conference at Bonham; Novem-
ber 30th, Texas conference at
Marshall.' All of these, con-
ferences will be presided over
by Bishop Hoss of Dallas, the
successor of Bishop Duncan to
the Methodist bishopric of
Texas.—Nacogdoches Sentinel.
The Best of Backs are Bad When They
Ache and Texas People Know It.
A bad back is always bad—
Bad at night when bed time
comes.
Just as bad in the morning.
Ever try Doan’s Kidney Pills
for it?
Know they cure backache-
cure every kidney ill?
If you don’t some people do.
Read a case of it:
Mrs. A. Sanderson of Galves-
ton Island says: “I had kidney
complaint off and on for nearly
three years, and it could only at
times be described as excrutia-
ting torture. To stoop or raise
after stooping hurt severely and
I could scarcely refrain from
yelling. It was hard for me to
go up or down stairs or even to
lift a light bucket of water. I
was always worse in damp and
wet weather or if I caught cold.
I wore mustard plasters and
tried home remedies, but never
found anything to give per-
manent relief until I got Doan’s
Kidney Pills. I felt their direct
effect on my kidneys the very
first night, and in less than a
week’s time the pain in my
back disappeared. A friend of
mine was also benefited by using
Doan’s Kidney Pills. I never
met with such a prompt, reliable
and effective remedy.”
