Entered at the Postoffice at Knox City, Texas, as second
class mail matter.
According- to the Reporter,
Sweetwater raised $4,580 in less
than an hour with which to boost
Sweetwater. That is the way to
build a town.
The Abilene Daily Reporter is
a very creditable paper but it
seems as tho the editor is asham-
ed of it, as there is no name or
way by which we can discrimnate
the distinguished editor.

It is still to be noticed that
Knox City is still waging herself
to the front, winning for herself
a world wide fame.
The farmers of Knox Prairie
are determined to raise more
wheat and oats this year, than
will be raised on the same acre-
age in any other portion of the
state. Everything looks exceed-
ingly flattering, so far.
there are still a few firm? in the
city who are not represented in
the columns of the News. We
would like to tell the outside
world that you are here, and not
only this, we woulti like to adver-
tise you that you may become a
real live wire in our business cir-
cle, so that you would be forced
to take those goods from your
shelves, brush the dust from same
and hand them out to your cus-
tomers, replacing same with
fresh goods. This is what adver-
tising "will do for you.
Recent rises in the Chicago
stock market demonstrate con-
clusively that these days hogs
is hogs.
But won't it be a great day for
our-city when we are incorporat-
ed?
The dear old sleeping merchant
who is afraid of advertising will
wake up some daj and find his
place occupied by a live wire.
Commander Peai y' s sugges-
tion that Mr. Roosevelt head the
new expedition to the south pole
will meet with enthusiastic ap-
prodation from the white house
if satisfactory guarantees are
giren that it wou't return inside
of three yean.
According to Washington dis-
patches President Taft has lost
a shirt. And he hasn't even that
famous smile left.
Knox City was visited by
another cold wave Tuesday, last-
ing for two or three days with a
little snow. We predict warmer
weather next week and probably
a good rain.
The dear olb Houston Post Re-
fuses to see itself in the Davidson
band wagon.—Waco Times Her-
ald.
We wonder why? Can it be
that the Post does not want to
go with the crowd? Everything
seems tobe pointing in that di-
rection.
We see that a woman is going
to make the race for governor of
New Hampshire. We wager
that the women will—rather the
men will, have to wear dresses
yet. Texas should be proud of
her fair sex. They are not for-
ever trying to get an office, and
it is not because the law3 of our
state prohibits it, but because
they are true, genuine ladies and
are not built after the above type.
F. L. Bellenger, Senior editor
of the Callahan County News,
died at his home in Baird on Fri-
day night, February 4th, and was
carried to Jackson, Miss., where
interment took place the follow
ing Monday. A wife and one
son were left to mourn his death.
Mr. Bellenger was very promi-
nent among the newspaper men
of the state. He was an excep-
tionally good writer, and his ser-
vice will be sadly missed by the
Callahan County News.
A paper for all classes that
goes to a thousand people.—
Southwestern Journal.
If the Journal editor had not
confessed with his own lips that
t [ the greater part of his circula-
tion was out of the county we
would have to place a question
mark after the above. In taking
a sensus for the school, some-
times they average five to the
family. Some editors average
their circulation in this way. The
Journal, undoubtedly is not ac-
puainted with our people as this
rule will not work in Knox City.
Three will tally ud perhaps, but
to make a safe estimate it would
be better to multiply by two. As
we are blind to all but Knox City
and the famous Knox prairie, and
know nothing of other portions
of Uncle Sam's holdings, the
average might be possible after
all.
we had the above mentioned in-
fluence, we have lots better
things to talk about than politics.
It takes all our time to tell of the
great things in store for Moran
and her rich territory. Plant
more hogs and come to Moran ! —
Moran News.
We have hogs on our streets,^
in cur pens, in fact everywhere,
and everything else of value in
abundance. This is what has
made Knox Citv and the famous
Knox prairie, the attraction of
all the west. We have not tried
to corner the market on cotton
and other products, but take a
lttie of all.
It is with deep regret that we
make mention of the fact that

There are a few "weakly" pa
pers of the state who think they
pull the big cord in political af-
fairs. We pity them, for surely
they have j ist about as much in-
fluence in the political affair of
the State as the News could have
when it comes to controling the
sand storms of West Texas. -
Knox County News.
Right you are, sir, but even if
Will the Democrats control the
next house of representatives?
It will be very h uprising if they
do not, as any unbiased student
of political affairs must admit.
There are 219 Republicans and
170 Democrats in the present
house. A loss of 26 seats to the
Republicans would give the Dem-
ocrats a majority of bne vote.
Twenty Republicans hold their
seats by less than 1,000 plurality
and there are 16 more Republi-
cans than Democrats who were
elected by less than 2,000 plural-
ity. It will therefore be seen
that a change of only 500 votes
in 20 districts and a change of
1,000 votes in 16 districts will
give the Democrats a majority
of seven in the house of repre-
sentatives. Little less than a
miracle can prevent the sweep-
ing away of these small plural-
ities in view of the great and
growing revolt in the Republi-
cans ranks. The prophesy of a
Democratic house next year is
far more conservative and logical
than would be the contention
that theRepublicnas will be able
to maintain control in the face
of the widespread public discon-
tent and disgust with Republi-
can policies.
