The Home Paper.

Many people never stop to
weigh the town paper, it's value
and true worth. They tell you
that the Sc mi-weekly Dallas News
or the Atlanta Constitution are
better than the town paper,
the refore they prefer taking them,
Well, that is all right, but there
are different view points from
which to value the two papers
and to estimate which is the more
valuable. To illustrate, culti-
vator is a more valuable farming
implement than a rake, but there
are times when you need the rake
when the cultivator could be of
no service to you whatever. So
it is with the town paper and the
great newspapers. When the day

As 1t has been some time since

to pen you a few facts.
Our little Valley is steadily
growing, as four wagons left this
morning for Angelo for lumber
for the new parsonage, and the
work is near completion on the
addition to the school house
which prepares us for the graded
school which will open next Mon
day, September 22nd, with J. A..
Thomas as principal and Mrs. j.
A. Thomas assistant, so we are
assured of good school. Other
buildings are going up every
once in n while, so we think we
will build up and beat Angelo in
cooperating yet and Water Valley
will be the town and San Angelo
the country village.

Mrs. Mamie e. Curtis

Spoke TO about six or seven
hundred last Sunday in the tent
upon the Legalized Liquor Traffic.
This lady is most decidedly earn
est and eloquent, and her gener-
al appearance bespeaks a life of
endeavor and high spirited con-
viction. Without clap trap or
vulgarity, the lady handles the
question of man in society and
the social question, calling upon
earnest men to explode the con-
spiracy Of silence. Moral plague
spots exists everywhere, and by
contagion affect the most isolat-
ed home. No negative morality,
Mrs. Curtis insists will do. You
must choose now and forever be-
tween active social service, or
stagnant, selfish purism. The
excellence of men and women,
according to the lecturers philos-
ophy, depends upon what they
are and what they do. Nothing
but practice in good thought and
deeds will suppress our own pri-
vate tendencies to evil. True re-
ligion, must be religion of Be
and Do, and not a mere Snug
satisfaction with ones own excel
lence. Mrs. Curtis's creed is n
sincere belief in strength and
wisdom and courage and work,
serving humanity in full force.
May success everywhere crown
this ladv's efforts. G. j. +.
