1t is bad enough when a business
man refuses to advertise his bust
ness, but when it comes to busi-
ness man refusing to take his home
paper, it is certainly one of the un-
pardonable sins.-Junction City
Democrat.
There are many such socalled
business men in Texarkana "a
cowpen full" of them. While we do
not think their refusal to advertise
or take the TRxARKANIAN an "un-

The editor of paper gives the
following advice to those who have
formed the habit of early rising:
The lark rose up to meet the sun
and carol forth his lay, the farmer
boy took down his gun and at hun
blazed away; the busy bee arose at
five and hummed the meadows DER,
the farmers wife went for his hive
and robbed him of his store; the
little ant rose early, too, his labors
to begin, the greedy swallow flew
along and took his antship in; Oh,
birds, bees and ants, be wise, in
proverbs take no stock; like me, re-
fuse to rise from bed till half past
eight o'clock.
