A LAY SSEMON.
Have you a spark of gratitude
in your heart today? If so,"give
thanks to the giver of all good for
His bounteous blessings and loving
kindnesses to the children of men.
Tossed to and fro by the ill winds
that beat upon the frail bark of
human weaknesses, and set adrift
on the tempestuous sea of life,[man
would succumb to the evil forces
and go down in despair if left
alone in his struggles, but'sustain-
ed by an all-present and ever
watchful Providence he may ride
the waves of adversity and triumph
in the end. "What is man that
thou art mindful of him ?” He is
as the grass or the flower of the
field—a transitory creature, grow-
ing up into beauty and strength,
to be laid low at the end of a short
pilgrimage by that insatiable and
relentless enemy—death. The
shroud, the casket, teai dimmed
eyes, an open grave and the marble
shaft are evidences that here man
has no abiding habitation. In
strength he is weakness; but in
weakness and submission to divine
guidance he is able to come off
more than conqueror. The faith
of the Christian is the sweetest
thing in life; it inspires hope,
broadens the view of life and gives
direction to the works of love and
mercy. It is the culmination of all
the great principles of human char
acter into the simple phrase—
‘‘Love to God and man.”
Col. Geo. M. Bowie makes a
good presiding officer, and his
conclusions are generally correct
upon a business proposition. Mr.
Bowie stated a self-evident fact last
night when he said that if Weath-
erford secured the Widows’ and
Orphans’ Home she paved the way
for success in other undertakings,
but if she failed in the enterprise
it opened the way for future fail-
ures. The applause which greeted
this proposition showed that the
people present saw the point and
appreciated the situation. It also
indicated that there would be some-
thing "doing” in the old town the
next few days. We were impressed
with the clear-cut, ringing declar-
ations of the speakers at the mass
meeting. Especially was the speech
of Judge G. A. McCall worthy of
mention. He didn’t like the im-
putation that had gone abroad that
Weatherford is dead, and believed
in her willingness and ability to do
still greater things along the line
of public improvement. He spoke
of the large bonuses that had been
given the different railroads, the
schools, etc., and refused to enter-
tain the idea that Weatherford is
or ever had been lacking in the
spirit of enterprise. We trust
Judge McCall and others who be-
lieve like he does may never have
cause to lose faith in Weatherford
along the lines indicated.
to know? Well, father,
it was some sort of a slot
from the Jway .the Democrat
keeps on talking about the com-
missioners court putting money
into it. No, son, that is a different
thing. What the Democrat] has
reference to is the H skald. Be-
cause it has essayed to run a clean,
readable paper without^resort to
vilification and slander. It has
never, so far as I have been able
to see, tried/to array ^one class
against another. Recognizing the
frailties of humanity it does not
parade these before the public, but
endeavors, as a true newspaper
should, to put the best construction
possible upon the actions of men.
But, father, is it a fact that the
Herald is the organ of the county
judge and commissioners, as well
as the other members of the "ring?”
No, son; the Herald is not the
organ of any man or set of men.
It is the exclusive property of the
two gentlemen whose namesjare at
the head of the paper. JWell,
father, why does the Democrat
continue to charge that it is an
“organ?” Well, son, I will tell
you. The Herald is a growing
paper. It has prestige in the
county. Its publishers know how
to get out a good paper and the
people appreciate it. Furthermore
they go out and get business. Its
circulation has grownj from third
to first place and keeps on climb-
ing. And they are not running
the charity racket, either. What
they get is done by well earned
merit. You understand, son—well,
you don’t understand, either, but
you will later on In life—that some
men are so little and narrow that
they cannot stand to see a com-
petitor in business succeed. It
gives them an ingrowing desire to
make all kinds of a fool of them-
selves, and generally they succeed.
I trust, my son, I have made the
reason for the Democrat’s con-
tinued bellyaching sufficiently plain.
Yes, father, but I notice that the
Democrat failed to get some kind
of an "affidavy;” why did that
wicked commissioner give it to the
Herald? That is plain, my son.
Those things are of interest to the
people of Parker county. In order
that they see it, it is necessarythat
it be published in a paper with a
circulation. It would be like put-
ting it in a bottle and losing the
bottle to put it in the Democrat^
so far as its circulation in Parker
county is concerned.

teristie energy, advocates first oae
thing and another to counteract
this inevitable consequence. It
has now got its tow line out for an
orphans’ home, but as the mer-
chants seem to have about lost
their nerve, there is not much
show to get it.—Mineral Wells
Index.
Now, come off old soapy. Weath-
erford merchants are not different
from any other merchants. They
never get so much trade that they
wouldn’t be willing and anxious
for much more. That’s the.reason
they are offering superior induce-
ments to the trading public. As
to the Herald, that is what it is
here for, and its tow line is not the
only one that is around the Wid-
ows’ and Orphans’ Home enter-
prise. There are about 250 mer-
chants, doctors, lawyers, laborers,
mechanics, preachers, etc., resi-
dents of this dty, who are all with
one accord pulling to land the
enterprise here in Weatherford. If
you are skeptical now, you won’t
be a little later on.

Don’t get it into your head that
great enterprisesjarejbuilt in*a day
or that it doesn’t (take*effort to
secure them. It takes work, work
to build a town, and],the faint
hearted, or those iwho are easily
discouraged, are not the ones who
are usually foundjin the|fore front
in successful enterprises.
A Round-up man saw a 16-year-
old Cisco boy buy a watch from a
dealer one night this week. When
he went to settle for it he asked for
a check book and signed his own
name, too, not his father’s. There
is a boy who will amount to some-
thing —Roand-Up.
That is, if he don’t draw too
many checks.
DISASTROUS WRECKS.
Carelessness is responsible for
many a railway wreck, and the
same causes are making human
wrecks of sufferers from throat and
lung troubles. Bat since the ad-
vent of Dr. King's New Discovery
for consumption, coughs and colds,
even the worst cases can be cured,
and hopeleps resignation is no
longer necessary. Mrs. Lois Cragg
of Dorchester, Mass., is one of
many whose life was saved by Dr.
King’s New Discovery. This great

route delivery:
Having received some new reg-
ulations from the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, division of
rural free delivery service, Wash-
ington, D. C., of Nov. 11, 1903,
for the information of the patrons
on our four rural routes, Nos. 1, 2,
3 and 4, the Postmaster General
requires that patrons must erect a
a mail box, which has been approv-
ed by him, for use on all rural
routes.
"There are three firms handling
such boxes at Weatherford, Texas,
viz: J. R. Lewis & Co., Lowe-
Carter Hdw. Co. and R. E. Bell.
If they cannot snit patrons, each
rural route carrier is supplied with
a list of the names and addresses
of firms who manufacture boxes
approved by the Postmaster Gen-
eral, with price list and cost of
boxes at the factory.
"The boxes must be so erected
on the margin of the road that the
carrier may drive up to it without
going out of his way, and must be
so fastened to a post (the bottom
of box four and one-half feet high)
as to be easily opened by the car-
rier without alighting.
"Patrons who have placed boxes
out of the way, so the carrier can-
not deposit mail without alighting
from vehicle, will receive notifica-
tion from the postmaster to comply
with the foregoing requirements.
Then see your carrier, who will
inform you where to place the box
for his convenience; otherwise he
will not be permitted to serve you.
"Near relatives, such as father
and son, may receive mail in the
same box; also persons living in
the same house; tenants of farms
may also have their mail delivered
to box of owner, provided he gives
his consent. Two or more persons warranty deed dated Oct.

All good roads lead to a live
town, and Parker county has some
of the best ones in the state and
they all lead to Weatherford.
Weatherford is not dead by a
whole lot. The enthusiasm of the
citizens attending the mass meet-
ing last night shows a decided spirit
in favor of progress.
Notwithstanding repeated assur-
ances that all is quiet in the Phili-
pines and that benevolent assimila-
tion assimilates to a degree of
perfect accord and good fellowship,
we are informed by press [dispatch-
es that three hundred Moros were
recently killed in one of thejprov-
inces by Uncle Sam’s troops. In-
stead of making good citizens of
them by benevolent assimilation,
we are rapidly transplanting them
on the shores of that country from
whence no stranger ever returns.
While prospectors from the
North and East are pouring into
other sections of the state, it would
not be a bad idea for our Board of
Trade to make an effort to have
some of them visit Parker county.
When they once, come here^they
are ours.*
An exchange truly says: "Of
course lots of cold dollars put into
a business will eventually develop
a frost if you don’t keep things
warm by advertising.”
In the congressional campaign in
the Eight district prohibition was
made the leading issue and the
anties made an effort to defeat
Hon. J. M. Pinckney, the demo-
cratic nominee. For the first time
in the history of Houston that city
went republican. The country,
however, saved the county for the
democratic ticket. There was no
occasion for lugging the prohi
bition question into a political cam-
paign, and if the anties of that
district only knew it they are set-
ting a bad precedent. There are
some districts in Texas where an
anti wouldn’t hardly black the
board if the prohibitionists were to
retaliate.

DOESN’T RESPECT OLD AGE.
It’s shameful when youth falls
to show proper respect for old age,
but just the contrary in the case of
Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They
cut off maladies, no matter how
severe and irrespective of old age.
Dyspepsia, jaundice, fever, consti-
pation all yield to this perfect pill.

residing upon a rural route, who
agree to use the same box may do
so, provided they file with the
postmaster at Weatherford, Texas,
a written order to that effect, sign-
ed by all the patronsj.who wish
their mail so delivered. The head
of a family may sign for the fam-
ily, but the names of all mail re-
ceiving of a family must appear on
the order of persons desiring a
community seryice.
"The only inscription which
may appear on a mail box is the
names of owner and manufacturer,
and the words ‘Approved by the
Postmaster General.’
"The use of locks on rural mail
boxes, although encouraged as a
protective measure, is not abso
lutely required by the department.
The use of signals on rural mail
boxes is not required by the de-
partment. Rural carriers are re-
quired to open every box on their
route on each regular trip.Jwhether
signal is displayed or not, in order
to collect mail. As patrons are
not required to use signals, the
failure of erecting one does not
justify the carrier passing a box
without opening the same.
" Carriei s are permitted to carry,
for the accommodation of patrons,
packages of merchandise and are
allowed to charge £f fee for render-
ing such service, and may also
conduct an express business. Car-
riers may act as news agents, sell
newspapers or periodicals on their
own account or accept and collect
subscriptions for the same. Car-
riers may take passengers, provided
it does not interfere with the
prompt and faithful performance
of their duties.
"I respectfully request that pat
rons of rural routes see their re-
spective road overseers often with
a view of keeping the roads In good
condition. A good road is a pre-
requisite for a rural route and the
continuance of the same.”'**
