Here is Brenham proof that this is so?
H. W. Christ, a farmer living 4 miles out on
the Berlin road, Brenham. saye: "iinc# I
procured Doan's Kidney Fills at J. Tristram's
drug store in the early spring of 1912 and'us-
«d them I have had no return of giy former

Ihe Lynching Record.
The statisticians find that duriDg
1907 there were seventeen lynch-
ings less than in 1906, the figures
being fifty-six for last year as
against seventy-three in 1906. That
is some progress, according to the
moralists, and the South is being
congratulated upon the improved
record. Nebraska and Iowa figured
in last year's record with a lynching
each, while Maryland had two, Mis*
souri, North Carolina and Florida
show a clean record. Texas reduced
the record of 1906 by half, the fig-
ures being three last yeai and six
the year before.—Houston Post.
There is something lacking about
the minister who is popular with

As a rule man's credit is usually
all right at the wrong time.
An anxious girl writes to inquire
whether it is better to marry for
love or for riches. A little of both
is a combination that ought to be
altogether acceptable to the average

DE41H OF MR. FKANK DOBERT.
Mr. Frank Dobert, a pioneer citi-
zen and merchant of this city, end-
ed his life just after mid-day meal
last Thursday.
Mr. Dobert ate dinner with the
family. As he left the table he said
good bye, and suddenly collapsed,
dying in a few minutes. He had
taken cynadide of potassium.
Mr. Dobert, a native of Germany,
came to Brenham 40 years ago,
when in his seventeenth year.
His marriage occured in 1874, and
he engaged in business the same
year with Mr. Ferdinand Wern-
er as a partner. This business a few
years ago passed to F. Dobert &
Son, and the latter firm made an
assignment for the benefit of its
creditors some two weeks ago. Last
Monday in fthe federal court at Aus-
tin the firm was adjudged a bank-
rupt.
It is of course supposed thaf Mr.
Dobert's financial troubles weighed
heavily upon him and made him de-
spondent
Deceased is survived by hi3 wife
and seven children. He left a num-
ber of letters, but the contents are
yet made public.
His funeral took place from the
family residence in this city Friday

deepest sympathy to the grief
stricken relatives.

The following little gem is going
the rounds of the press: "You'll
have all you can do to pay for your
own indiscretion. Some clay one
very dear to you may fail; the prison
doors may open to a son, or a scarlet
letter of eternity blight a daughter.
When a house ie in mourning over
a tragedy, the best thing you can i
do is to keep your mouth shut un-
less you can say something that will
come as a rift in the clouds. Then
agaiu you know that you may be no
better than your neighbor; the only
difference is that your neighbor was
caught and you, up to date, have
kept the sunlight away. Be charit-
able, for you know not what day or
what hour the blight will appear in
your own circle."
last year—an increase <A approxi-
mately 850,000,000 in this class of
exports being reported, This in-
crease was felt in nearly all of the
important items of this commerce
notably carH and carriages, agricul-
tural implements, copper, stuictural
iron and steel, locomotives, pipes
and fittings, bootn. shoes and lumber.
Trade conditions of the world do
(jot threaten a decline of the demand
for any of these articles. He may
not export the same values this yearf
and a considerable decline might
take place and not seriously affect
our industries. A real stagnation of
industry and commerce is generally
a matter of slow growth. When a
market is vastly overstocked a slump
may be expected, but the articles
enumerated in the list of exporta-
tions in 1007 which show an increase
art, with few exceptions, of the kind
which would not be shipped on spec-
ulation. The only material decline
in the exports of manufactures was
in cotton cloths, and this falling off
was due to unusually heavy expor-
tations to China in 1905.
