Every man who travels away from Paris
whether on business or pleasure, should spend
a part OF the time In telling other folks how
good n town VIC havo.-Paris Advocate
1t is the prime duty of every good citizen
who has the welfare of his city at heart to be
continually talking OF It's advantages and now

Tho Dallas News is grieved because the
farmers leave their work long enough to go

clares that mo man can break MS wheat
land or pick his cotton" while thus employed,
as there are no cotton or wheat fields at ran
road stations. While this is true yet the
News surely would not have the farmers TO
isolate themselves entirely, and take no i, IN,
forest in governmental affairs. Every citizen

but politics, but 1t is the duty of every man
to know something about it and what Is best
for his country

The paper mill at Sugarand where bagasse,
the refuse of sugar cane, Is used. is the only
mill of any consequence In the State II has
proven a big success and all OF the products
have found Il ready sale. East Texas, with Its
forests, should be an excellent field for a

more paper mills In Texas and such enter

BY the way, who was Dreyfus, anyway
