It's an III wind tba, blows nobody sny
good, rs is illustrated by the following from
the Pamela Watchmsn:
The false charge Of San Antonio cores
pendent, that Hon. W. l.. Denmsn got
drunk and slept in barrel in that city, dur.
ing The legislative excurt, hss contributed
largely toward making tina! gentleman the
next governor OF Texas, 20 well Is no sdver.
tised and 10 clearly has he proven that be
does not drink at all. Hence. however BAD II
thing may appear, there Is always come good
init, ard II this little episode serves TO make
Mr.. Denman governor, he will have cause 10
thank that correspondent.
The unknown legislator referred TO by the
Waco Telephone in the following excerpt,
undoubtedly believes in calling spade a
spade;
In the legislature, ono day last week. Rep
resentative McComb wanted to take up Ger
tain amendments 70 bill soratm. This
proposition brought another representative
to the floor, who wanted 10 know what seria-
tim meant, md how long this thing was to
continue. When Il WAS explained TO him
that Ms. McConlb wanted 20 consider each
amendment by itself, he sst down, and said,
swell, why didn't ho say 80" We arc not
going TO mention this representatives, name,
because thsre 10 kind OF divinity that doth
hedge tho average ropr, sentative about--but
we have authority for relating thn incident
as something that actually happened.
The Morgan Sentiool gives the following
pertinent hints TO tho Texas public at large,
on the subject of beau'ifying their homes,
and II tho suggestions contained in the arti-
clio we're acted upon by many house holders
who arc truly derelict in this regard, it
would be the means Of causing more happi
ness TO tho people. The Sentinel ssys:
In every part Of tho state we hear of low
towns springng up and lots being sold at the
highest figures. We believe TIM. one great
reason why Texas people are generally poor,
10 because they ara too much disposed TO
roam from place TO plsce. II is an old adage,
but true one, which readi: "A rolling
stone gathers no moss" In the early settle
mont Of the county people selected homes
and remained there improving aud boeu'ify-
ing them. But now, and particularly IN
Texas, too many of our people neglect
their bones. Tho exculG IL that
they have not The time Yet IL is
fact that II requires as lilllo work hero rs

With abru bberY and flowers or well kept
vegetable gafoen. Ask Why and the owner
will tell you ho can't spare the limo from biz
firm work. Hall nm hours work each day
IN tho year would DO sufficient for both.
They make o place more valuable md moth

We believe that poopo nre always happier
who surround their homes with bnnutiiul
flowers, eyergroons and shade treos. /, tends

homes beautify them; everything will be inn
proved and society become better by IL.
"Egery once in awhile" rs tho saying eoqp

Texas is entirely t. large Toe h,r brs,ches,
and forthwith no si,s himself dcw1 to divide

Waco Examiner:
Tho Clsrksville Standard grows eloquent
