Mrs. Payers, wife of the gover-
nor, is somewhat improved, but
still confined to her bed.
With the oeginning of the new
year it would bo well to amputate
the tongue of slander.
The bright sunshine if putting
McKinney business men in better
spirits and enlivening trado gen-
orally.
A Houston artist will paint the
likenesses of nearly 100 of the
Confederate generals for the New
Orleans reunion.
McKinney needs the Presby-
terian Univeisity! McKinney can
get it, but not with tnlk. It takes
cash! and tint without delaj!
A SpeciaFto the Dallas News of
this morning from St. Louis sajs
that Texas gets a "Lion's Share"
of immense railroad trattic, cen-
tering in that city.
A committee wa< appointed at
the mass-meeting Saturday night
to confer with the H. & T. C.
officials concerning our new de-
pot. Let's have none but the
best!
Itching Skin

That's the complaint ol those who

ANOTHER ENJOYABLE OININO
Qlven at the Home of Mr. and
Mr*. D. C. Hill
GREAT IS TEXAS.
The oame of the post-office at
Jordtn. 1\ m Green County. has
been changed to Eola, because of
the fact that there is another Jor-
dan post-office in Texas. The
town is now conuected with San
.Angelo by telephone.
The new year found more
gold in the treasury ot Uncle Sam
than tnis or any other govern-
ment ever held at one time, being
four times the present holdings
of the Bank of England and the
Imperial German Bank.
Skilled Roman workmen are
carving a priceless jewel of topaz,
weighing nearly four pounds,
which the Catholics of the world
will present to Pope Leo XIII.
It will contain a representation of
the papal arms and of Christ
breaking bread.
McKinney is able to get what
she wants—Does she want the
University? Does she want good
side walks? Does she want im-
proved sewerage? Then let ev-
ery citizen who feels interested in
these things talk about it and see
th.it proper action is taken.
Many happy watch parties were
hold to b.d adieu to the
old year and welcome in the new.
It is said that mortal comes into
the world crung and those about
rejoicing, but gwes out of the
woild resignedly and those about
weeping—not so with remorseless
Father Time—We know not the
heralding of his coming but we
note the swiftness with which he
is fleeing and feel that we must
not let him build a tomb over
happiness while we yet live.
Then here's to our friends and
we trust they are many, for
bright
a God

Killed In California
John F. Jones of Greenville,
Texas, was shot and killed at a
hotel in Los Angeles, Cal., by a
New Year's reveler and fell from
a second story balcony to the side
Walk. He had gone from his
room to the balcony to |ook out
on the street and was leaning over
the ra ling when the bullet struck
him aud he fell over the guard
rail. His body dropped into the
midst of the crowd of people who
were blowing horns and making
merry over the New Year. Jones
who was a young man, moved to
JLos Angeles from Texas a few
months ago and was employed in
the Santa Fo Railroad offices.
Calvert Chroniclo: Ripe wa-
termelons in Italy, Tex., on
Christmas day! Strawberries in
South Texas on the same date.
And fresh blush roses from the
garden—hyacinths and narcissus
on ye editor's dinner table to lend
beauty to the somber turkey.
Great is Texas, and despite our
"uorthers" in the winter, and
"southers" in summer, there is
none greater, or pleasanter, or
altogether more charming, and
this item is not written on Christ-
mas da}, either.];
None but those fortunate
enough to live within the borders
of this grand state are prepared
to believe this. It is all true, and
the Chronicle might have enumer-
ated other good things hut he was
like the Irishman who having
come to America und being una-
ble to write was dictating a letter
trj his people in the home land.
"Say to them," said Mike, "that
I have meat to eat once a day."
"Why," said the stenographer,
"Don't you have meat three time9
a day?" "Yess," said Mike,
"but if I say that I have it often-
er than once per day they will
say, now that is one of Mike's
big lies." So one is almost afraid
to tell the truth about Texas for
fear of beiug accused of exaggera
tion.
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
The Brooklyn Grand Jury re-
commends annulment of the char-
ter of the Rapid Transit Company,
declaring present conditions in-
tolerable, and favoring Municipal
Ownership. The presentment
says:
'•The only solution of this vex-
ed problem of metropolitan trans
portation is municipal ownership
and operation of tho means of
public travel. Those street rail-
ways, elevated railways and tun-
nels, all the facilities of metro-
politan transit that have been
given away for absolutely nothing
until recently, and practically
nothing in this day, should be
brought back where they natural-
ly belong, under the control from
which they passed, tho ownership
and operation of the public,
"We are of the opinion, from
statistics submitted to us that ex-
perience has demonstrated that
under public control these rail-
way systems would not only be
operated efficiently tor tho pur-
pose, but that fares could be re-
duced to say 3c, still leaving a
large net surplus revenue after
the cost of operation is - met,
whick could be applied to reduce
general taxation.
Although what is considered
the limit of the holidays Jan. 1st.
has passed, the spirit of good
will and hospitality still lingora in
the hearts and homes of many, as
is evidenced by the reports of
sumptuous duiings and other mer-
ry gatherings.
One of the most elaborate and
enjoyable occasions, was a feast
Friday at noonday prepared bv
and pro-iided over by that chaftil-
ing hostess Mrs. D. C Hill.
Her guests were:
Misses Come Dulaney, Lura
Ware and Matt*e NVhite.
Mesdames J. G. Matthews of
Dallas, W. \V, McDowell of
Guiuosville, J. G. Anthony, G. H
Provine, S. O. Scott, Ilarrv Mc-
Donald, W. R. IIill, Joe Ware,
Dulaney, G. W. Fox and
C. A. Houston.
Mrs. Johanna S derholm, of
Fergus Falls', Minn., fell and dis-
located her shoulder. She had a
surgeon get it back iu place as
soon as possiable, but it was quite
sore and pained her very much.
Her son mentioned that he had
seen Chamberlain's Pain Bilm
advertised for sprains and sore-
ness, and she asked him to buy
her a bottle of it, which he did.
It quickly relieved her and en-
abled hor to sleep which she had
not done for several days. The
son was so much pleased with the
relief it gave his mother that he
has since recommended it to
many others. For sale by City-

At a mas? meeting at tho Com-
mercial club Tuesday night in
Dallas, a citizen offered to donate
fifty acres of laud foc the Uni-
versity. It is loeated within half
a mile of the Elm street car line
and is a high beautiful site over-
looking tho city. Fiom the en-
thused discussion wo clip what
Mr. Alex Sanger said and if his
points are good for Dallas are
they not just as good for Mc-
Kinney?
Alex Sanger made an earnest
talk. Ho said that he was in a
position to know and that few
people realize the immense
amount of business an institution
of that kind would bring to the
city. It was not only the trade
of the students^t hem-elves, but
their parents would come to the
city to trado. Many of the pa-
rents would loci to and 'become
permanent residents. Thev were
tho class of people who have
means to educate their children
and make the most desirable class
of citizens. He thought Dallas
ought to have the institution and
ho believed that if proper meas-
ures were taken that she could
secure it.

Kidney trouble baa

that It Is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid-

urine scalds the flesh or If. whep the child
reaches an age when It should be able to
control the passage. It Is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon It. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
theae important organs. This unpleasant
trouble to due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis-
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
