The Jo*»«h County Jllgli
School.
We have had all Hie evidence
neiessory to prove Mint tho people
$f this .county are in fayor of
more adequate school facilities:
we have had an abundance of hot
air on the subject of education.
What we want now is Mm money.
It js delightful to imagine an
ideal state f/( affairs m school
matters, tint unless something
material js added there will not be
any results worth speaking of.
f t is agreed that the first, step to
jjo taken in the direction of better
cnnflitjoi.s is to be a school of
a higher grade tl an guy we now
have. Ail seem to he of tho same
opinion on this proposition. Not
u single objection has been heard.
This being true it would seem
flint the necessary funds would
he forthcoming fnstnntly But
not so. There is no excuse w hat¬
ever why every citizen of the
county should not contribute to
fhe fund for building tho school
bouse. There could not lie a bet¬
tor investment. The reasons w\v
tins ip true are so many ind ?o
siui|)I,8 fbnt it is unnecessary to
eiiuityjsrato them, ft should h.
Btifficjepf to eny tlinf an institu¬
tion such ns is proposed would be
tho means of giving nil edneutjon
fo many Jones county hoys and
girls who otherwise could not get
AJorc limn nine hundred dol-
A i ’ t ■
lars have been aubsiribed to the
building fund but this is not linif
enough. When the canimittee
calls you will be giyen an oppor¬
tunity fo contribute to the moral,
nientui ami spiritual upbuilding
of our people. Wa think no one

Speaking of w hat a newspaper
does for a community, United
Stfifep Senator Davis of Illinois
made an uddiuss that remains
p\ep green in tho memories of
pewspnper men, says an exchange.
He sajd; “Every year every locul
paper gives from 60Q to 5,000 free
lilies for the benefit of tho town
or county jn which if js located,
no other agency o»n or will do
this, 'j’jio editor in proportion tp
hfs means does mure for his own
community than any other man,
and in all fairness, mnn with man,
|io ought to ho supported—not be-
cause you hnpjien to like him or
admire his writing, but because
a locul paper is the best invest¬
ment a community can make. It
may not bo crowded with great
^bought, but financially it is of
moro benefit than both preacher
ami teacher. To-day editors do
more for less pay than ary men
on earth. Patronize your home
paper, not as $ ;!;nrity but as an
Investment.

Apropos of President Roosevelt’s
fondness Lis for large families a story
of experience ns police com¬
missioner is told by a sergeant
now on the force. It seems that
fhewifeof „ , a policeman ,, who , had
just been fined a week s pay for
drunkenness appeared one day ip
fhe conifnissioner’s by oflice, acootn-
panied three neatly dressed j
apd attractive children. Her piti- i
ffii pfpfyofback rent, which the
subtracted wages were to have
paid, and the sight of the children
n oved Mr. Roosevelt’s sympa¬
thy, and taking out his pocket-
book, he gave to the woman the
amount her husband had been
fined, Tho next day the husband
appeared at headquarters and was
lisked by a brother officer;
“Say, how many children have
you nt home.'’
“One,” was the r-ply.

Editors News :
Since I wrote toTifK Nkws lant.
year I have received (fiiile a num¬
ber of letters from old frienda in
Georgia asking me to write about
Texas. I wrote private letters to
a good many describing this sec¬
tion but several failed to enclose
postage and as / could not afford
the expense I did not write to
them. I will, however, try to give
them a description of our county
—Fort Retrod. The county site is
Jijchmond, a thriving little town
of one thousand inhabitants. A
large number of thorn are very
wealthy cattlemen, some of them
bejng the largest enttb raisers of
the South-wept.
D,ur county is still in its infan
oy so fur ns agriculture is con¬
cerned, except t)to Brazos bot¬
toms, whi.ch aro known through
out the Sou lit ns the most fertile
lands of the South.-west, I havi
seen two bales picked from nm
aerf, bjit not in the last three
years. Boll worms have almost
destroyed tho .crops for three year
in succession On this accouiii
there are thousands of acres ol
fertile bottom land lying .nil
There are a few farms scatterei
over the prnrie between the JJraz
I os ami Colorado rivers. Some lain
Ion the prarjo cun he bought fo,
ten dollars an acre but the jirici
is steadily advancing and evei
now the best land of Ibis kind h
selling for twenty-five dollars ai
acre. U’e can grow anything her-
that can be grown in Georgia
Sugar cuiio seems to bo the bos
paying crop since the boll worn
stopped us from raising cotton
We have one of tho largest suga
mills in the South in our county
Our railroad facilities are excel¬
lent. Three railroads pass threugl
i-ur town, theG.C. ifeS. F., tie
Southern Pacific and thoN. 11.M
So you see it is no trouble for i
fellow to get hero and then if h
ia not satisfied it is no trouble fo
him to got away.
There is a splendid school of o
pupils in my settlement. But it i
almost impossible for us to go
good teachers and keep, them,
would be glad to correspond wit'
some good teachers in Jones conn
ty. Wo have good institutes fo
teachers and allow them one Fri
day in each month to attend.

In Memory of Little Flo
rim* Fuller.
Florino, the little daughter o
Mr. and Mrs. 1), W, Fuller, did
Sunday morning, Juno 21, 1908
at the home of her parents. P
must be that God gives us sue!
earthly treasures and then take.-
them from us to touch us that vi
must love nothing on earth tin
much unit that ho must occujn
first place in our hearts. But w
must submit and say, “Thy wil
be done on earth as it is in heuv
on.”
Little Florino’s mission win
ended, God lias taken her holm
and we are left with sweetest
memories. God’s plans are noi
onr plans and wo meekly how ii
submission to 11 is will. Ho win
doetli all things well is too wisoD
err. too good to be unkind.
Little Florino is not dead bin
sleeps, sweetly sleeps tn Jesus.
"There s many an empty cradle,
There's ninny a vacant lied,
There’s many a lonely bosom,
W here joy and light have lied.
Thick m every graveyard
The little graves lie,
And every grave represents
An angel in the sky.”
When God calls us wo slnil
meet ami greet dear little Florim
on the flowery hills of lieavoi
where God will wipe all tears from
u , wu will knu , v tl „
mysteries of this world.
It was hard to give up little
Klorine but wo are comforted with
the thought that our loss is lin
eternal gai"* She made the earth
brighter by having lived and now
heaven is richei because she is
there.
We express our grief at this
sad providence and extend our
sincorest sympathy to tho be¬
reaved ones. F. B.
