A Wise Guy.
That Indiana man who ask-
ed to be sent to Texas for
burial knew something. There
may be a better place than
Texas for a man to go after
he dies, but if there is it is a
good deal further away, and
the welcome sign isn't always
hanging on the outside of the
door.—Laredo Times.
That intelligent Indianian
knew what lie was about. He
wanted his body near to his
sotti, and as Texas is next
door to heaven, he knew that
the two parts of him would be<
in Juxtaposition, It was a
happy thought 011 his part.
.Still we do not care to have
his example generally follow/
ed by outsiders. There are
better uses for Texas than to
make it a burial ground for
slick I I o o s i e r s.—Dallas
Times,
The Road Commissioners of
Upshur county held a meeting
recently and decided to estab-
lish a permanent road gang,
equipped with road building
machinery and under com-
petent supervision. A cam-
paign for good roads will be
carried 011 iu that county.
