An Aim in Life
A dog with a can to his tail may run
just as fast as if he was chasing a rabbit—
but it isn't half as much fun for the dog.
The man who spends all he makes may
be just as hard a worker as the one who has
a growing account at the bank, but the
saver is the one who has the incentive to
hustle. Have a definite aim in life. Start
an account with us, and while you labor,
watch your dollars increase.

Pieces Br Train.
Saturday afternoon at 1:30
o'clock Henry Cunnigam was run
over and cut to pieces near the
sand spur by the north bound
Santa Fe passenger train. He
was 60 years of age, had been in
the insane asylum a few years
ago, but had been released for
the past two or three years He
was also subject to tits, it is said.
It is supposed he sat down on
the track to take off his shoes
which were new, to keep them
from hurting his feet, and had a
tit or fainting spell- At any rate
he was on the track and the en-
gineer could not stop the train
after he saw that he was not
going to get off, in time to pre-
vent runing over him. The en-
gine passed over him cutting off
his head, both arms and both
legs. One shoe was found to be
pulled off of his foot and was ly-
ing by the remains.
Justice of the Peace W. N-
Heslep was aft once notified and
proceeded to go up there and
hold the inquest and returned
his verdict in accordance vVith
the above facts.

Accidentally Shot.
Saturday afternoon Jim Tay-
lor's wife, living over in Freed-
man town, was accidentlly shot
with a target rifle. How it hap-
pened is a mystery. She, her
husband and two or three more
darkies were out on the front
gallery. 8he was standing up
two or three feet from the rest
of them. She felt something hit
her and turned around and faced
them and said, who hit me? and
they told her no one had hit her.
About this time Jim noticed blood
dripping on th" floor and said
where is that blood coming from?
She looked and pulled up her
dress and the ball had entered
the back part of her thigh and
carried her dress in the hole to
the depth of an inch. When the
dress was pulled out the blood
fairly spurtted out. They sent
for a doctor immediately but the
ball, which is of a small calibre
was too deep to be bothered
and it was left in the flesh. The
strange feature is that no one
on the gallery heard any gun not
can anv one in that part of town
be found who heard the report
of a gun that evening. The theory
is that it was frjm a target rifle
some where and that the woman
was hit by accident.
Develop Your Will Power!
Self-respecting Americans shudder tin thought
of depending on others tor • living. They regard
charity as eflenelve.
But hundreds who would refuse financial aid,
do need to be helped to help themeelves. A little
stiffening of the will ie all that lies between them
and eucceeee.
Regard our bank as your bureau of Self-Helpl
Strengthen your will by saving, and in doing ee you
will strengthen your standing in a hundred ways.
The advantages of a bank account are innumer-
able.
Saturday night Montz Robison

not seriously injured. Officers
went down and arrested him and
lodged him in jail Monday charg
ed with the offense.

A good road turneth away
wrath.
Good roads like salvation, are
costly, but are a permanent joy
when once secured.
It is wilful waste of money to
spend it upon roads that are not
given proper drainage.
The town that is lost in the
shuffle is the one that has no
good roads leading into it.
The town that is not upon
the map is the one that is
without good roads and good
streets.
If it is possible to build per-
manent roads by the issuance
of bonds, this is the thing to do.
If tiiis cannot be done, then the
next best thing is a systematic
use of the split log drag.
Felix Rhodes Dead.
Felix Rhodes died Sunday
night at his home in the Har-
mony section at the age of 70
years, and the remains were laid
to rest in Masonic cemetery here
Monday afternoon, the funeral
services being conducted by Rev.
A. S. Broaddus. He had been
sick for some time with bright's
disease, and his death was not
entirely unexpected. He was a
consistent member of the Baptist
church and a good man with the
respect of the community. He
was t%vice married and his last,
wife survives him as well as sev-
eral children, all grown and
married.
Farm Facts.
THE STORE THAT SAVES YOU MONEY."
Near the Depot.
A man who is a man at all does
not want his wife to be a beast of
burden; and, if circumstances
make it necessary for her to
overwork, he will at least endea-
vor by tenderness and fore-
thought and such help as his
own labors permit, to make life
easier for her. Such is the heart
of a woman that this attititude on
the part of her husband is the
elixir of life to her, and sustained
by it, she can endure strain and
toil that otherwise would break
| her spirit and materially injure
her health.
The whole nation is nourished
from the farm.
There is something strength-
ening in the possession of a
piece of land.
Excessive interest is sucking
the life-blood of the Texas farm-
ing industry.
If a nation would be strong and
enduring it must educate its
itizens and attach them to the
soil.
The whole machinery of our
money and ctedit system is di-
rected toward the aid of the city
and not the country
When the business of farming
is placed beyond the thrall of
grasp and greed, then the farm-
er will become economically in-
dependent.
The strength and vigor of the
state is as much dependent upon
conserving the fertility of the
of the soil as ui>on the intelli-
gence of the people.

Why Don't Ton?
Why don't you answer your
friend's letter at once? It will
have double value if written
promptly, and will take no more
time now than by and by.
Why don't you make that
promised visit to that invalid?
She is looking for you day af-
ter day; and "'hope deferred
maketh the heart sick,"
Why don't you send away
that little gift that you've been
planning to send? Mere kind
intentions never accomplish any
good. Why don't you speak out
the encouraging words you have
in thoughts? Unless you ex-
press them they are of no use to
others.
Why don't you take more
pains to be self-sacrificing and
loving in every day home life?
Time is rapidly passing.
Your dear one will not t©
with you always.
Why don't you create around
you an atmosphere of happiness
and helpfulness, so that all who
come in touch with you may be
made better? Is not this poss-
ible? Why don't you follow in
the steps of him who "came not
to be ministered unto, but to
minister?"
Why don't you?
