Fish er, who is here himself, has fav ored lccal theatre-goers with for the holidays. “Bring along the Camera’ ’ and “Donny Did and Donny Didn’t would alone suffice to make a musical comedy but these are merely two gems in a coronet of jewels.

CITY OFFICERS RE-ELECTED For the first time in many years the entire city force of police and fire depaatment were re-elected without any opposition. The council met Monday night and re-elected the old officers and had no applications for the places. Both of the departments have been very satisfactory dur ing the past year. The police department has been carried on in a very satisfactory manner, the clerical end of the office being in the best shape that it has been for a long time, the present chief giving that work his especial attention. The fact that there was no one offering for these places shows that the service of the men now in the city employ must be very well liked by the people generally. We have had no bad fires duiing the past year and the city has been well policed, so well thit the Mayor’s court cases have been very limited. For the cost of the maintaining of these two departments the city is getting splendid service. MUSTANG For Sprains, Lameness, Seres, Cuts, Rheumatism Penetrates and Heals.

Each time the cry ' hard times goes up, and the reatto back of it iB that the farmers cannt get enough money to pay their debt out of their so-called cash crop—co ton. It is disheartening because it so absolutely unnecessary. "A cotton farmer’s debts are larg ly for food and grain, charged against him on the merchants' bool at two to three times the price thi those same items could be product on his own acres, and usually withoi serious interference with a crop of co ton as large as he now makes. fa “The trouble is that most cot* farmers owe their crop instead owning it when made. “The credit way looks the way, but It strangles most farms before they get through life. “I have said repeatedly in publ addresses that no state or section any country can be prosperous tb is regularly dependent on anotb section for its food supplies.
