A Full Line of Ladies' AccOr-

NEVER for a moment, says
the Shreveport Times, should the
fact be lost sight of that every
man and woman, no matter what
their lot in life, exert some in
fluence for good or evil. Human
nature, as a rule, is exacting. II
is neither over charitable mol
forgiving. So the words spoken.
the deeds done have their in
fuence over some one, are closely
watched and SOW seed that must
bring &akoa fruit, either whole
some or hurtful. 1t is more pro-
ftable to nurture the better
impulses. 1t is more beneficial
to every mortal to cherish the
Godlike and thus do good to
those around him and her. Ex-
ample in word and deed is. the
pure incense that rises on the
shrine of the fireside and builds
up the characters of the children
who shall become the men and
women after the parents have
been laid to a final rest. Watch
the words spoken, the deeds
done in daily life.

AN escaped convict, described
as a big black man wearing
clanking chains was seen by two
negro women late Wednesday
night near the bottling works.
The women were on their way
home when hailed by the con-
Wet, and were so badly frighten-
ed that they could not describe
his appearance very accurately.
No report of an escape has been
received by the officers at this
place.

The time has come, saws al

THE time has come, says an
exchange, when no rational and
humane person will sneer at any
scheme, however intangible and
visionary it may appear, which
has for its object the betterment
of the condition of the countless
throng of the enforced idle and
poor of this country. Civiliza-
ton has not reached its climax
and there may be remedies for
the acknowledged evils of our
social and economic system little
drempt of in our philosophy.
Frauds and fakirs may deceive
and dupe, the rich and powerful
may Cypress and destroy, but af-
ter all, in the main the human
heart is all right; and in the full
ness of time some industrial sys-
TEN will be evolved in which the
brotherhood of man will be the
dominant sentiment and greed
and avarice will give place to
aspirations.

THE Farmersville Times says
During the campaign the facto-
ries were going to close on rising
prices. Now they are actually
shutting down on falling prices.
According to the goldites' phil
osphy, no matter which way
prices go-whether up or down
the factories are bound to close.
But, of course, that makes no
difference so long as we have the
gold standard, and the interest
gatherer can collect his dues in
''sound money"

it the duty of every loyal citizen to
patronize his home people. The

that large portion of our popu-

means keep what few shekels we
have in our own country.

THE Greenville Herald insists
that there never was any truth in
the contention that it was the IN
certainty of punishment from the
laws delay that caused mobs to
break the neck of rapists. When
men place themselves below the
level of wild animals it is natural
for other men, not rendered
effemimate by the ''refinements"
of civilization, to deal with them
as they would with wild animals.
This may not be right but it is
according to the nature of things.

WE we're told a year ago, says
the Sherman Courier, that just as
soon as Mckinley was elected
that confidence would be restored
and that prosperity would at once
take up its abode with US. We
looked in after the election for
good times, but we were confront
ed then with the proposition that
better times could not reach their
fulfillment until after the inau-
guration. After the Inauguration
we ale told that we must wait till
the tariff bill passes. So the Re-
publican party will go on setting
the time ahead, for prosperity
can never come only to the favor
ed few under its extravagant,
mercenary leader, Mark Hanna.
