A texas Editor on a variety
of Boy.
An insolent unreliable galoot
of a boy is about as disagreeable
an animal as walks this earth,
and everybody estimates him
pretty correctly but his parents,
who invariably regard him a fu
ture statesman or philosopher,
and the man who attempts to dis
cipline him in the smallest way,
no matter in how friendly spirit
he does it, is usually rewarded
for his pains by the loss of his
parents’ friendship. The mantle
of parental love is broad enough
to cover any fault a child may
have.—Cameron Inquirer.
Because He is a Boy.
The expression, "He is only a
boy, ” is made to cover a multi
tude of sins these days. Just be
cause he is a boy does not excuse
him. Impress the lesson on his
mind while he is young, and it
will stay with him throughout
the remainder of his life. Do not
wink at his lawlessness simply
because he is a boy; do not laugh
at him because he is as profane
and vulgar as the coarsest-mind
ed man. If he violates the law,
let him pay the penalty; if he
hasn’t decency enough about him
to refrain from vulgarity, teach
him decency. If you fail in this
you expect your son to fail to bea
gentleman. If he is old enough
and stout enough to work, it is
1 your duty to make him earn his
board rather than let him eat
from the table provided entirely
by yourself. If he is ever worth
anything to the world, he will
have to be a worker, and the suc
cessful workers commenced to
learn something of duty early in
life. They did not learn it by
walking the streets and show
ing their disrespect for older per
sons.

The Babtizing
On last Sunday a week ago,
several of elite of Wiville went to
Cache River fora little amusement,
j Several were am using themselves
| duck-fasliion as Mr. Staggs, Dick
j Beard and some others came up.
Now Mr. Staggs is always full of
his fun etc. and as the duck-im
etutors had their feathers and
shoes in a skiff, Mr. Staggs pro
ceeded to occupy his time with
some sport. He got into the skiff
and of course the mischeivous
boys tried to upset the section
boss and he was in just such a
mood that it made no difference
to him if the world had come to
an end at that time. Consequent
ly he encouraged the boys to their
mischei'. When the skiff had drif
ted to a deep place the skiff and
all capsized. Mr. Staggs, of course
got as wet as a rat, but he d id not
mind that. What puzzled him was
how the boys without feathers or
shoes would journey homeward.
Lubbie Robinson lost one of his
new $4.00 shoes. One boy fished
in vam for his trousers. George
Walker lost both shoes. They re
mained at the river until dark.
We buy and sell horses. Careful
drivers j After a short rest, wo have again started
t livery stable and we invite our old friends
■ to come and see us on Main street west of Shearer’s Store

Imagine for only one moment
such a railroad parade, feather
less ducks; some with part of
their feathers. Well it must have
caused the lady in the moon to
smile in her solitude. Just think
of Venice and Jupiter standing
on the edge of the feathery clouds
looking down on this sad but
august parade. Boys, be careful
how you monkey with Mr. Staggs
in the future. In the mean time
we hope you will all out live this
catastrophe and take better care
of your belongings in the future.
Hon. Joe Dailey.
Sometime ago, M. Ii. Patterson
and Joe Dailey met, talked,
agreed, and traded. M. H. Patter
son giving a business house in
town and some money for Joe
Dailey,s 80 acre farm located
i near, the bayou. Since the above
: named deal has been consumated
Hon. Joe has moved his beiong
ins, consisting mainly of himself
and old trusty Fiddle anda pair of
bones to the second story of his
business house. As he believes in
strict ecomony, he cooks his
own meals and does his own sleep
ing. On last Thursday evening
after supper the News man had
the pleasure of hearing this mu
sician discourse on his violin.
Heated upon the veranda of his
domicile, Hon. Joe Dailey with be
coming gestures played the vio
lin to the Queen’s taste. Mr.
Dailey is left handed, but that
does not bother him, he is the
proud possessor of a left handed
violin.

Shakespeare has said, ‘‘Music
hath charms to soothe the savage
breast.” This being the case, our
friend Uncle Bill just had to
come, “It just had to be did.” Af
ter Uncle Willie had heard a few
of the master’s strains, he forgot
himself and thought he was in
middle Tenn. at a dance. He
actually began to say, “Swing
your partners.'
“Hands in your pocket and back
to the wall.
Take a chew tobacco and bal
ance all.”
<< Gentlemen to their places
Like back-bands to the traces;
Give your partner your right
hand and swing.”
“Hog’s spare rib and beef back
bone,
Swing your partner and walk
jaw-bone.”
“First couple lead out the right
swing forth:
Ladies do si do and Gents chaw
hay.”
When Uncle Bill came to himself
he was near by; but it surprised
him so much, that he fled from
the scene of action. We have since
noticed that mischievous Willie
is able to be out again; which we
did not anticipate so soon.
All of this Bill Dougherty side
show and Earl Winfree, the rub
ber-boot factory, laid no effecton
our fiddler. He played right on.
The St. Louis Iron Mountain and
Southern can’t even check him by
sending a through freight along.
Mr, Dailey is a great musician
and was still plyingthe bow when
we took our departure for the
print-shop.

CONTJPATED BOWELS.

should be kept in a laxative con

least once a day, so that all the
poisonous wastes are expelled
daily. Mr. G. L. Edwards, 142

writes: “I have used Uerbineto
regulate the liver and bowels for
the past ten years, and found it a

In a recent issue of the News,
I uoticed with pleasure a letter
from our old friend, J. S. Hag
gard. From what he says, Tex
as must be a grand state, and no
doubt, he saw many wonderful
things at Dallas. That 7} foot
man was a pretty tall fellow, but
not as tall as a horse I once heard
of that measured 19 feet. (I did
not see the horse.) He was really
to small to mention compared to
adugoutthat Mr. Haggard and
I once found. He wrote us last
week about a beet that he raised
in his garden, it measured 17£ ft.
in length (Or he might have said
inches; I sometimes get confused)
and J inches in diameter. Car
ter’s radish will outmatch it so
bad, that I think Mr. H. will say
no more about Texas vegetables.
