Grand Jury Report.
Eastland, Texas, July 20,1906.
To the Hon. J H Calhoun, Judge
42nd Judicial Dist. of Texas:
We, the Grand Jury for the
July Term, 1906, of Eastland
County, beg to submit our re-
port as follows:
That we have been in session
, ten days, and have carefully ex-
; amined all cases that have come
to our knowledge; we have ex-
amined in all one hundred and
thirty-five witnesses, and we
have found 58 bills of indictment:
24 felonies, and 34 misdemeanors.
We find that the local option
law is being violated in some
portions of the county, and we
recommend that the county

insertion ; 5c per line each subsequent authorities, together with the
good citizens of the County,
work together—to the end that
violations of this law may be re
duced to the minimum; we be-
lieve that this can be done more
effectively and with less expenses
in this way than by placing the
entire enforcement of this law
upon the grand juries of the
county. We are pleased to re-
port to you a general disposition
on the part of the witnesses
(with a few exceptions) coming
before us and testefying freely
when they know of violations of
the law.
We have visited the jail, and
find it clean and well kept. We
were especially gratified to find
but three inmates, with whom
we talked personally, and they
told us they were well fed and
received kind treatment.
We have also examined the
courthouse and the several offices
therein; and find them clean and
nicely kept.
It has been brought to our
notice that some of the road
overseers are not doing their
duty in working their roads; but
owing to the busy time of the
year, we have not investigated
that matter as closely as we
would have otherwise done, and
we recommend to all road over-
seers that they proceed to put
their roads in good condition at
once.
It has been charged in various
parts of the County that there is
graft” and corruption in the
courthouse among the county
officials; and after investigation,
we fail to find any evidence to
sustain the charges.
We hereby tender our thanks
to the Court and all officers for
advice given and kindness shown
this body.
Respectfully submitted,
[signed] D M JACOBS,
Foreman of the Grand Jury.
Live Stock Show.
Early Monday morning Carbon
had a genuine livestock show.
W. T. Stubblefield rode in from
Eastland with a couple of large
horses which he had just pur-
chased in a sheriffs sale there,
and a crowd of admirers were
crowding around him immediate-
ly. Discussion both pro and con
was begun at once as to which
was the best animal of the two.
Matters were beginningto warm
up some with talk when Mr, Hill,
who lives 4 miles east of town,
appeared on the scene with his
fine 4.year-old horse which not
only caused more talk, but put
some of the boys down to think-
ing. It was just about a ‘ who
shall” and “who shaint” with
Stubblefield and Hill, as far as
the championship belt was con-
cerned, but suddenly that old
reliable Will Richards butted in
with a word about his $200
donkey which completely put the
judges off their base and gave
room for more argument. Some
genuine, thoroughbred tip-top,
tiat-foot stuff was exhibited,
but the large crowd which had
gathered around by this time
were completely undecided as to
who should be presented with
the belt, so they quietly walked
away, one by one, until all had
returned to their respective
places of business.
Truly, the Carbon country
could have a live stock show that
would be hard to beat by any
towrt. There’s lots more good
stock in this country, mention
of which will appear in this
paper later.

Result of Advertising.
He didn’t have a dollar; he
didn’t have a dime. His clothes
and shoes were looking just as
; though they’d served their time,
i He didn’t try to kill himself
!to dodge misfortune’s whacks.
| Instead he got some ashes and
he filled five dozen sacks. Then
next he begged a dollar. In the
paper in the morn he advertised
tin polish that would put the sun
to scorn. He kept on advertis-
ing and just now, suffice to say,
he’s out in California at His

Letter to W. H. Puett.
Carbon Texas
Dear (Sir: Your business is,
when a house burns down, to
give the owner some money to
build a new one. It is a good
business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We paint the one that burnt
down and the new and too.
What is better, we paint the
houses that don’t burn down.
You insure the houses that
burn; we insure the houses that
don’t. You have the ashes and
smoke; all the houses are ours.
We paint lead-and-zinc: Devoe.
We sell the paint to painters;
we don’t paint.
Lead-and-oil is the old fashion
paint. Devoe is zinc ground in
with lead and linseed oil: the
best paint in the world: and the
cheapest, because it takes fewer
gallons than mixed paints and
it wears twice as long as lead-
and-oil. Nobody wants poor
paint: there’s lots of it, though,
in the wrold. *
A M Griffin, Plainfield, N J,
writes:
“Mr. Aaron Higgins, of Plain-
field, always used 15 gallons of
mixed paint for his house. Last
Spring he bought 15 gallons of
Devoe and had 4 gallons left.
Yours truly
F W Devoe & Co
