MAX A. KKISTKR, KDITOB.
Our subscribers that we
had to cut off on account of
the postal laws are coming
back and getting' themselves
reinstated in a way that does
us good. Few, if any re
quested that the paper stop
coming and quite all lay their
failure to come in in time to
put themselves in the year
limit to a mere oversight,
which we knew to be so,
though we had to meet the
requirements of the law or
suffer from a burden of ex¬
cessive postage. We request
that our subscribers keep an
eye on their receipts and
when they see their date run¬
ning up to the year limit, if
they wish to continue getting
the paper, settle up the
amount due.
The other clay a local mer¬
chant happened to see a farm¬
er with some goods that came
from a mail order house, says
an exchange. lie noticed
also that he had some of the
very same goods in his store
for years. He immediately
approached the farmer and
said: “I could have sold
you the very same article you
have there tor less money and
saved your freight besides.’
‘Then,why didn’t you say so,’
answered the farmer.’ “1
have taken the home paper
for years and have never seen
a line about you selling these
goods. This mail order house
sent advertising matter to me
asking for my trade, and they
got. it. If y.oii had any bar¬
gains, why didn’t you have
them put in the paper so we
can see what ‘you have to
offer?”
THR EDITOR’S TROUBLES.
Editing a newspaper is a
nice thing. If we publish
jokes people say we fire rattle*
hraineu; if we don’t we are
fossils. If we pulish original
matter they say we don’t give
them enough selections. If
we give them selections the)
say we are too lazy too write.
If we don’t go to church we
are heathen. If we do, we
are hvpocrites. If we re¬
main in the office wc ought to
be out hunting for news
items. If we go out, then
we are not attending to our
own business. If we wear
old clothes, they laugh at us.
jr we wear good clothes, they
say we have a pull. Now,
whit ;oe we going to do?
Just as likely as not some one
will say we stole this article
from an exchange; so we did.
DOES THIS STRIKE YOU?
When the catalog conies
from your mail order house,
: ays tlie Dalton Argus, draw
mi easy chair to the table
\ here the light will shine full
i pon the page and put your
glasses oh, that no bargain
may escape your eye. hook
What a wonderful it
is to be sure, wonderful for
what it does not contain, as
well as tor what it does. We
miss something we would be
glad to see. Where is their
< ffer to pay cash or exchange
goods for your wheat, oats,
corn, hav, beans, butter and
< ggs? How much do they
pay for cattle, sheep and
hogs f. o. b. at )on depot?
How much tax will they pay
to support lyour school and
educate your children and for
the expenses of running the
township, county or state?
On what page is their offer to
contribute money to the
church?
What line of credit will
they extend to you when your
crops are poor and your
money gone; when through
illness or misfortune you are
not able to send “cash with
order’ tor yotir groceries,
clothing, farm tools and
crockery? Where is their
offer to contribute to your en¬
tertainment next year?
Jn.short, wilt they do any¬
thing to provide a market for
what you have to sell, and
thereby keep up the value of
your estate? Will they do
anything for social, church,
school or government sup
port, or do they take your
dollars out of the community,
with no return except the
goods they sell?
Did you ever look at it in
this way?_

Our Texas Letter.
(Too late for last week.)
Greenville, Tex.,
April 14, 1908.
Dear Old Murray News:
As Mr, Henley has failed to
■a rite for a few weeks I thought
1 would write and describe this
country as 1 don’t think he has.
This is a prairie country broken
here and there by a little stream
of water (branches there) as they are
called out which runs dur¬
ing the winter. On tilese creeps
is a small strip of wood land a
few hundred yards wide, con¬
sisting mainly el elm, hackberry,
b dsdarc. This is all the wood
we get unless we go to the
thicket a few miles north of here.
The land is black and rich and is
called the “b ack wax” because
when, it is wet it sticks like wax.
But when it is dry it is very nice
for cultivation. The weather
pulverizes the land so after it
lias been bedded or turned for
some time we have no clods at
all. We have very few rocks to
contend with so you see farming
is a for those who like
it.
There are many tales told of
Texas, which I have found not to
bo true in this part. One is that
a garden lasts only from one Sun¬
day until the next. We have
failed only one year to have a
garden, but what lasted most all
uminer, since we have been
cere and two or three times had
vegetables until frost. Of course
i garden depends on the season a
good deal and trying more.
Home people have the idea
that we have no good stock here.
Hid that is a mistake for I don’,
nelieve Texas could be beat for
good stock. Of course we have
a few “Texasponies and mules,”
but as a general thing we have
good stock. the
Don’t think that west is a
wild place we claim to be civil¬
ized at least. We have a good
community. There are two
hurches, a Methodist ana Bap¬
tist and good public high school
with three teachers. Have a
dasonic and Woodman hall here
tho. This is called Jacobia
community and is seven miles
north of Greenville.
We have had a good deal of
ain lately. Crops are looking
ine, wheat is up. Some of the
jeople are not through planting
cotton as it has been wet. We
ire hoping for a good crop this
fear, as our crops were destroyed
by a hail storm last year.
I am glad to know Murray
county is improving so much.
To me it is the dearest place on
earth, and of course The Murray
News is like a letter from home.
Come on, all you writers, and let
is hear from you through the
columns of the News. It may be
your f if e some time in the future
to be a citizen of Texas or some
other place and you will wonder
why the correspondents do not
write oftener. Hoping to see a
new sy letter from every place in
old Murray county soon, I remain,
Yours trulv,
Wtncik Fox.
An Insidious Danger.
One of the worst features of
kidney trouble is that it is an in¬
sidious disease and before the
victim realizes his danger lie
may have a fatal malady. Take
Foley’s Kidney Cure at the first
sign of trouble as it corrects the
regularities and prevents Brights
disease and diabetes. G. H.
