A LETTER FROM TEXAS.
Mr. Editor: If you will allow
me a little room in your valuable
paper, I will give you and my ma
ny friends in old Woodruff cq. a
few dots from this part of Texas.
Fannan co. is a tine country;
mostly all black land; corn, wheat,
oats and alfalfa are all looking
fine. Some farmers are plowing
corn; others planting cotton. Cot
ton is up and looking well, weath
er is rather cool. Land ip high
here: from $40,00 to $75.00 per
acre. There is not much chance
for a poor man to own a home. In
this county, land rents for third
and fourth. One man and two
horses can cultivate 50 to 65 acres
easy. Farm labor costs from $15.
to $20. per month. Myself and
relatives are in the best of health
and well satisfied with this coun
try.
I am very well satisfied with
the result of the primary in old
Woodruff county. Hurrah for Jeff
Davis and Clark, Down with the
trusts and rings. A word to sis
ter Nancy. I am proud of the
fight you made against the ring:
your speeches were a credit to
any map, You are young enough
to stand several defeats; just look
at Pat, he was defeated several
times; acted like a gentleman and
got there eli at the right time.
He is the right man at the right
place. Hurrah for Pat. I was
sorry to hear of capt. Jones’ de
mise; he was a good man, I have
known him for 23 years.
Success to the News and its
many readers. J. S. Haggakd.

LIFE.
(A Literary Curiosity.)
Why all this toil for triumphs of an hour?
Life.s a short summer, man is but a Mower.
By turns we catch the fatal breath and die:
The cradle and the tomb, alas) how nigh.
To be is better far than not to be,
Thoutrh all man’s lire may seem a trairedy;
But light cares speak when mighty griefs are dumb.
The bottom is but shallow whence they come.
'Thy fate is the common fate of all;
Unmingled joys here no man befall:
Nature to each allots his proper sphere.
Fortune makes folly her peculiar care,
custom does not reason overrule.
And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool.
Live well; how long or short permit to heaven.
They who forgive most, shall be most forgiven.
Sin may be clasped so close’ we cannot see its face—
Vile intercourse where virtue has no place:
Then keep each passiou down, however dear,
Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.
Her sensual snares let faithless pleasure lay.
With craft and skill to ruin and betray:
Soar not too high to fall, but stoop to rise’
We masters grow of all that we despise.
Oh, then, renounce that impious self-esteem,
Hiches have wines and gtandure is a dream.
Think not ambition wise because ’tis brave.
The paths of dory lead but to the grave:
What is ambition? ’Tis a glorizus cheat.
Only destructive to the brave and great.
What’s ali the candy (Hitter of a crown?
The way to bliss lies not on beds of down.
How long we live, not years, but actions tell:
That man lives twice who lives the Hrst life well.
Make, then, while ye may, your God your friend.
Whom Christians worship, yet not comprehend.
The trust that’s given guard, add to yourself be just.
For live as we may, yet die we must.

SPUING AILMENTS.
There is an aching and tired
feeling; the liver, bowels and kid
neys become sluggish and inac
tive the digestion impaired with
little or no appetite, no ambition
for anything, and a feeling that
the whole body and mind needs
toning up. The trouble is, that
during winter, there has been an
accumulation of waste matter in
the system. Her bine will remove
it, seen re to the secretions a right
exit, and by its tonic effect, fully
restore the wrasted tissues and
give strength in place of weak
ness. 50c at Hr. J. B. Neal.

Did you ever do favors for mankind.
Strive to lighten their burdens of care.
Stand true to your trust forever
Scatter sunshine around everywhere,
Did you ever depend on one then
To give you a lift on life’s way.
And hove them refuse to aid you
Even one of your trials to stay?
Was you ever forsaken and weary
Because pretended friends passed you by,
casting a smile at your downfall
Not even heaving a sigh?
Ones you have helped tn their labor
Ones you would yet gladly aid,
Have.them turn flee from you to another
Turn against you as ’tho’ they’er afraid?
Did yoi}’,ever hold a position
Of trust, do yaur duty and well.'
Then have every one turn against you
Like you’d come from a murder’s cell?
Turn from the one who has helped them
Put their trtst in another instead.
Extending to him a hearty welcome
Stamp your favor with most cruel tread?
Oh! think now my friends are you doing
As othersliave done nnto you; *
Are you rewarding the one who has helped you
Or have you turned traitor too;
Do yov do your duty with pleasure.
Is duty the oar to your boat?
"God pity the people of Woodruff—
If its citizens pray like they vote.
The above is one of the spring
poet variety. When birds begin
to warble their sweet and heaven
ly notes and brooks to mur
mur on their way to meet the
basso profoundo of the mightier
streams and old earth puts on
her robes of green and the mead
ows are gladdened with the
smiles of Buttercups and Daisies,
then, is it strange that human
hearts begin to vibrate in harmo
nious unison to the oratorios of
nature’s music? We say no. “He,
who in the love of nature holds
communion with her invisible
forms,” must needs give vent to
the pent-up possibilities of his
God given nature. The above
poem was not written by Miss
Nancy, but by her friend. Miss
Nancy always writes in prose,
The Man of Destiny.
The remarkable personage, of i
whom the prophets of old have J
prophecied and of whom the poli-1
ticians have always dreamed, has
at last made his advent. On Iqst
Saturday, the busiest day of the
week, this Jeff Davis prototype
first saw the light of day at the
hospitalbe home o ’ H. J. Cariker.
It is said that he had no sooner
anchored his canoe on earth, than
he began to curse and snort a
bout that infernal Augusta ring
and in order to put the proper
emphasis to the climax of the
whole drama, he yelled hurrah
for Patterson.
Henry was out in the lot milk
ing Pied when this unusual poli
tical harangue was going on and
as Pied had always been accus
tomed to quietness, she very im
modestly used the extreme end
of one of her ronst-a=boutsand
pasted that bucket of milk a la
Sullivan. Of course, the milk
spattered all over Mr. Cariker.
He of course was looking for
death to come to his relief. He
begins running toward the house
repeating the golden text at ev
ery step. Do you suppose the
new born politician within the
house stopped to hear his papa’s
Sunday School discourse? Not
much. He kept right on about
the ring. He yelled out oh. yes,
they bought Martin Junction
and they didn’t buy it; they elect
ed their candidates and they
didn’t elect them; they said “Do
unto the other fellow as he would
like to do unto you and do it fust.
And we did it. They said don’t
play the baby act, let the longest
pole do the work. Prom what the
neighbors tell us, we are lead to
believe that Mr. Cariker’s theme
soon lost its charm compared
with this eloquent product of the
twentieth century. Mr. Carike r
can’t realize how it is that such a
young creature can raise such
sand. Henry, you must keep your
other eye on that young political
hero of Woodruff county, for we
see the Salvation of our county
near at hand.
CURES WHEN DOCTORS FAIL.
Mrs. Frank Chiasson, Patter
son, La., writes June 8th, 1901:
"I had malaria fever in very bad
form, was under treatment by
doctors, but as soon as I stopped
taking their medicine the fever
would return. I used a sample
bottle of Herbine, found it help
ed me. Then bought two bot
tles, which completely cured me.
Then bought two bottles, which
completely cured me. I feel grate
ful to you for furnishing such a
splendid medicine, and can hon
estly recommend it to those suf
fering from malaria, as it will
surely cure them.” Herbine; 50c

On last Monday morning, as
Miss Nancy was on her way to
| the post-office, what do you sup
| pose she saw? It was our friend,
Sam Kyle, up above the world so
high like a diamond on a step
ladder. Sam, who is an adept at
anything from the realms of bus
iness to frivolity, was engaged in
a new role in which Miss Nancy
has never seen him act before.
But suffice it to say, Sam was as
much at home with the paint
brush on the ladder as he is tak
ing a drive with his best girl and
any one that knows Sam, knows
he is at home there. Well to make
a short story long, Sam was
beautifying the shirt bosom of
his saloon; in other words, the
saloon front. He painted the
weather-boarding white and in
order to remind some politicians
or defeated candidates how7 they
look, he has trimmed the front
with blue. The red indicates war
with anything from a nail eater
on up to and including the Salt
river gang, Why can’t all of our
business men have the front of
their business houses painted?
It wall improve the looks of our
town 100 per cent. Try it and
see.
FOR THOSE WHO LIVE ON FARMS.
Dr. Bergin, Pana, Ills., writes:,
“I have used Ballard’s snow Lini
ment; always recommend it to my
friends, as I am confident there is
no better made. It is a dandy for
burns Those who live on farms are
especially liable to many acciden
tal cuts, burns and bruises which
heal rapidly whenBallard's Snow
Liniment is applied. It should
always be kept in the house for
cases of emergency. 25c, 50o and
