We are reliably informed by a

awakened by the disaster' which
cost the lives of three good men.

It is becoming quite a fad now
to start a riot at a Mexican peace
conference or a called meeting
of the militant suffragists.

We fail to understand why it is
that our people will not support
entertainments or recitals ren-
dered by local talent, and yet
patronize any traveling tent show
that is headed by a few chorus
and ballet girls or a brass band.
Is it possible that it is a lack of
refined temperament, a disregard
. for superior training or just a
tack (appreciation?
lights. Partial paralysis attack

except her brain whose com-
pass still held its true course in
pursuit of the money-god. Of
course the railway company was
.compelled to unlimber a few
hundreds of "easy money" to
relieve her distress of mind and
loss of a surplus' of sleep, Yet
the public continues its howl of
insufficient equipment, irregular
train service, bad roadbed, etc.
Bringing this matter right down
to bed rock the railroads, as
would-be robbers, can hardly be
compared with the traveling
public.
Notice to Hunters: Be sure
your gun is properly loaded by
frequently looking down the bar-
rel. Incrossing fences go thro
first, drag your gun behind with
the muzzle pointed directly over
the left breast. If a shell fails
to explode get a hammer and in
vestigate. If you stop to rest
place the muzzle of your gun on
the right foot when standing or
beneath the chin when sitting.
Whether the gun is loaded or not
will make no difference to the
doctor, the coroner, the under-
taker or the preacher.
cotton ginners in ttfe state are to
be licensed by the warehouse
commission. Before the act can
bo made operative, however, it
is likely to be too late to apply
to the present cotton season.
There is no excuse for mer-
chants to go out of Milam coun-
ty for goods. All the dry poods
and grocery stores of Cameron
l carry unusually large and well
assorted stocks of various goods.
The moit fastidious shopper can
find what they want right here
in Cameron stores. The Herald
don't advertise for you to go out
of Cameron to buy goods. It
advertises for you to patronize
home merchants. They help
you in times of need. Petitions
foe charity, buildings or repairs,
meet with a hearty contribution
from our home merchants.

The war will make a tremen-
dous cut in' that, business. And
that's why it is necessary to help
the cotton grower and the mill
worker. You can help by using
cotton materials wherever possi-
ble. Bnying cotton clothes and
materials will nelp the cotton
grower more than buying a bale
of cotton and holding it. More
over you are making it possible
for all the cotton mills in this
country to haye plenty of work.
Coal! Coa8! Coal!
' MONTEVALLO COAL
A Houston firm advertises a
new style shoe for the ridicu-
lously low price of eight dollars
and fifty cents. Of course the
society folks of Houston will bat-
ter down the doors until the sup-
ply is exhausted and then howl
about the high price of fodder.

. Since the war in Europe an
unexpected increase in postal
savings has added greatly to the
I general administrative duties of
the syBtem, and has brought up
many new and interesting prob-
lems which have called tor the
careful personal consideration of
Postmaster General Burleson.
But his task has been enlight-
ened somewhat by the prompt-
ness of depository banks in fur-
nishing additional security to
meet the abnormal deposits. A
number of the very largest banks
in the country, which have here-
tofore declined to qualify as de-
positories for the postal-savings
funds, are now among the eager
applicants for them.
A few days ago Mr. and Mrs.
Si Turner who live on Owl Creek,
south of Gatesville. went to the
cotton field to gather cotton,
They were some distance apart
wheu he heard his wife scream.
He ran to her and found her
down on her knees on her cotton
sack. -A huge rattlesnake had
crawled between her dress and
her underskirt and she was hold-
ing it by its neck with her hand.
It was coiled around her body.
He took hold of the snake near
ito head and pulling it from his
wife's body flung it from him.
He then killed it. Neither was
bitten, and the snake had ten
rattles and a button.
Washington, Oct. 24. A letter
was received here today by Sen-
ator Sheppard from a Texas cot-
ton planter who declared, as his
children were in danger of starv-
ing because his cotton could not
be sold, that unless coUgress re-
lieved the situation, he proposed
to take his Winchester and take
by force what food he needed
for his family, Others in his
neighborhood, he said, would
also secure food, if they had to
with their rifles. Correspond-
ence in S. A. Express.
The -.Queen of All the Coals
My yard is now well stocked with the FAMOUS
MONTEVALLO COAL, and I respectfully solicit
the patronage of all who use Coal.
To those who have not used the MONTEVALLO
COAL, if you will give it one trial, you wHl continue
the use of it. Try it in your cooking stoves and
ranges and have a pleased housewife.
For the purpose of meeting the demands of
those who prefer a less expensive coal than the
MONTEVALLO, I will have in stock, the best grade
of'McAlister Coal which I will sell at the lowest
possible price.
Remember thai; I keep Coal in stock, every
month in the year, regardless of the season, and'
your wants can be supplied at any time by seeing
Mayor Kelley or myself.
I want your Coal trade. Thanking you for
past favors, and trusting a continuance of same.

us. We have done more business this year than
ever before AND WHY?
Because we realize when we went to the market to do our Fall buying that with the low price of cotton our
patrons would not be able to pay the price they always have for Merchandise, and with that view in mind and
the ready cash, we have bought goods cheaper than ever before-Because we have the largest assortment to
select from -Because the people of Bartlett- and surroundings have realized they can save money by trading
here-Because we can sell goods cheaper than others can buy.
Our Low Prices do not indicate inferior quality as some may infer
and are trying to make our patrons believe.
We can prove to all that wants to be convinced that we can sell the same goods for less money or better goods
for the same money. All we ask is to come in and look before you buy, we will be glad to show you our goods
regardless whether you buy or not. -
