All North Texas has had a rain, It
seems, and the face of the landscape
and the farmer alike, wear a bright
smile that looks like the herald of
bounteous harvests.
The Legislature has created an-
other oflcs—county auditor, paying
just $2,400 a year; that's all. And
the taxes on the black lands of old
Collin will be raised to pay for it.
Tom Campbell never vetoed this.
A boat is being built for naviga-
tion of the Sabine liver with his-
toric old Fredonla aH one of the
landings. It is claimed that boats
plied the Sabine in the early days of
Texas, and were used for carrying
both passengers and freight.
Wonder who will get the $2,400
plum for county auditor, to be
"handed out" in Collin county?
Farmers and tax payers, when you
go to pay your taxes next year,
remember, please, you pay this. The
Legislature did it. Score.
The reason this paper Is for Tex-
as' brainy senator, Charlie Culber-
son, is because we think him to he
the hestf man In all the States.
Isn't that enough? Bryan Is a good
man, but there are others. Charlie
can All the place, and no mistake.
Speaker Cannon says that Its an-
other one that he is going to deliver
the Republican vote of Illinois over
to Fairbanks. These Republican
presidential possibilities 'sho do
have a time. Just wait—Bryan or
Culberson will settle their hash.
One of the greatest mistakes a
newspaper makes is to confine the
grenier part of Its efforts when it
first starts out to be a paper to the
getting of advertising. Of course It
is a well known fact that without

Even if it were possible to get up a

expect to keep circulation? Is It not
a foregone conclusion that the sub-

A story of a woman who has not
spoken to a man for twenty-seven
years because her first love disap-
pointed her, is going the rounds of
the press. While so many are pity-
ing her for what sho suffered, a few
should congratulate the men for
what they escaped. Any one, man
or woman, who is so narrow minded
as to judge about half of the. human
race by action of one man, would
have been pretty dure to make It
disagreeable for him If he had not
dlsapponlted her. The happiest peo-
ple on earth, as well as the best and
brightest, are those, who, while
they are perfectly conscfffus of the
imperfections of their kind, do not
fail to note perfections, and look for
them. The good In humanity is like
unto the wealth In the soil, it must
be dug up and searched for diligent-
ly, and It will come to light and re-
ward the searcher an hundred fold.
Likewise with the evil. Those who
search will find.

For more than forty years S. S. VS. has worn the crown of
public approval and has been recognized as the King of Blood
Purifiers. It lias demonstrated its ability to CURB in
thousand.'; upon thousands of cases of blood and skin diseases
until it is regarded today as the most reliable and safest of all
blood medicines.
Pure blood means strong, vigorous bodies, well nourished
systems, steady nerves, and all the machinery of life working in
harmony wi.h nature—thus insuring perfect health. Impure or disc -seel blood m<-ns tV
opposite of all this; any impurity, humor or poison in this vital fluid acts injuriously on
the system and affects the general health. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and tlr
various skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased, eon liti >n as ti' •
result of too much acid or the pre ;en e of somt irritating humor. Chro..ic Sor.s'and
Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, while Rheumatism," Cata-rh
Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that"continue t >
grow v/orse r.s long as the poisons which produce them remain in the b'o.■> 1.
AH blood tro ibles are not acquired.
Through the blood disease germs are trans-
mitted from one generation to another. Par- ^
ents hand down a tainted circulation to their
children, and we see its elTects manifested in
various ways. The skill has a waxy, pallid
appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands
of the neck enlarged, and, as the taint has
b.cn in the blood since birth, the entire health
is usually affected, and the system weakened
f'om want of nourishing, health-giving blood.
In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proven itself *'T.'ss Ksng cf Bj&oJ Pa -,"#7"
It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors, waste t r forci <m i .aT'i-
and makes this life-stream rmre and hcalth-sustaiuing. Nothing reaches inherited blood
troubles like S. S. S.; it removes every particle of the taint, purifies and strcn ;lhr> t'-.c
