Pan-News and the Progress have
consolidated and the paper is now
issued by the former two pub-
lishers and is known as the Hub-
bard City Nows. The paper has
a better appearance than former-
ly and is well edited, indicating
prosperity.
In a recent issue of the Athens
Review the editor tells about the
trouble he is having with a brok-
en job press, and estimates the
damage at $10,000 in anguish,
$35 for actual repairs on the
press, and no telling how much
in loss of business. Better buy a
new press.

make a whistle out of a pig's tail
as to try to do anything with the
Cubans" or words to that effect.
And now Uncle Sam is going to
send the gentleman where he will
have lots of pig tails to work on.
No one doubts the correctness of
Mr. Bragg's statement, but it
doesn't always pay to say what

A Georgia newspaper man,
being a9ked the difference be-
tween the man who bouyht a
vote and the man who sold it, re-
plied that down his way the usual
difference was that one was black
and the other white. That is not
always the ease in Limestone.

Notwithstanding the efforts to
break up hazing in the colleges,
it is still practiced to a consider-
able extent, and an exchange
say3 there ought to be some way
to put a stop to it. A few lead
pills administered to the perpe-
trators by the victims would slow
the business up a little even if it
fails to stop it altogether.
At last the differences between
the miners and the operators are
about to be settled by arbitration
and as there are sympathizers of
both sides on the board it is ex-
pected that both sides will huve
to make concessions. It is pro-
bably the longest strike on record
and any way it is settled the
miners have gained a victory.

An outraged people made short
work of those two negro fiends
at Hempstead. While no one in
dorses mob law as a rule, we all
admire the promptness with
which the^e cruel crimes are
being avenged.
An argument is going on as t°
whether the execution of the
negro murderer over in Nacog-
doches was legal. The question
was probably raised by some

not having sense enough to know

They are having a merry time
down fn Montgomery county in
political circles. A large mass
meeting of democrats requested
the nominee for county judge to
resign, and when he failed to do
so they put up another candidate.
And now a majority of the ex-
ecutive committee have request-
ed the resignation of the county
chairman. Well the election day
is most here and then they can
settle the county judge business
at least.
THINK OF
The birthday edition of the
Houston Ch-onicle is a master-
piece of modern journalism, and
the makers of the paper should
feel proud of the work they have
done in one short year. The
growth of the Chronicle has been
phenomenal from the first issue
until now when just one year old
the paper is sending out 11,000
copies each day, and they have
just installed a press capable of
printing 50,000 papers a day, and
it looks as though they will need
just such a press in a few years.
The Chronicle is an up to date
paper with an able corps of edi-
tors. Success to you, gentle-
men .
Don't forget that women are
made out of girls, and that men
are made out of boys; that if you
arc a worthless girl, you will be
a worthless woman, and that if
you are a worthless boy, you will
be a worthless man; that the best
educated men and women once
did not know "A B C;" that all
the things which you are learn-
ing had to be learned by them:
that the efforts spent in making
others happy will in some way
add to your own happiness; that
a life of usefulness and helpful
ness is worth many times more
than a life of pleasure; that our
Savior says, "Seek ye first the
kingdom of God and his right-
eousness;" that our Savior says,
"Lay up for yourselves treasure:
in heaven."—Texas Farmer.

There is a new game now going
the rounds called "The Editor's
Delight," and it is played this
way: Take a piece of ordinary
writing paper, fold it carefully
and enclose a bank note sufficient-
ly large to pay up all arrearages
and a years subscription in ad-
vance. Keep your eye on the
editor and if a smile adorns his
face, the trick works like a
charm. Now is the time to play
the joke.—Ex.

Mr. . Baer was asked if the
operators had any intimation'
that the proposition made to
President Roosevelt was accep-

the reply. "We certainly did not

How does Mr. Baer expect to

It may be that she sought only

the safest places for her lectures.
She did not go to Santone That

Well, she certainly lost her
bearings when she wandered on-
to tho university campus and
started in to tell some of the-
students how to be good. The
account of her visit to the uni-

is headed "Had fun with Mrs.
Nation," and stat s that while
she was standing on the step3

and tobacco, the students sang a
song entitled "There are Beers in
Us," and no doubt there were.
