A MODEST TOWN.

In Worcester County in Massachusetts, the
prosperous manufacturing town of Clinton is
small in territory but it contains so many Dig
mills that its population is larger than the
number of people in several cities IN the sturdy
old commonwealth of the Puritans and the PHI
grims Nevertheless, Clinton is not ambitious
for a municipal government Mayor, Board
of Aldermen and all sorts of urban commissions
and departments. 1t still prefers to be gov
erned In the old-fashioned ways, with ire
quent calls for town meetings, and with annnai
elections of selectmen. like unto the methods OF
the primitive Yankee ancestors. "City Fathers"
are not yet in urgent request, although tne
town has people enough and resources enough
to ask the Great and General Court at Boston
for municipal charter if it's voters cared to
do so.
Although not city. but a modest, self-re-
specting community, never vaunting Itself.
never seeking notoriety, Clinton takes some sat
isfaction in the fact that the greatest dam in
this hemisphere except the Cornell dam In the
Croton Valley. is going up within its Dorders,
and that this dam is to be the barrier or an
artificial lake for the water supply OF all East
ern Massachusetts, which will extend for so
many miles, will involve so much labor and
cost so much money that it may well be ranked
among the world wonders Of the early part OF
the twentieth century.
Clinton also takes some modest pride IN call
ing to mind that one Of the richest and most
extensive packing firms in the world had its
humble beginnings in one Of its streets. loWly
retail butcher shop in Clinton was the cradle
and the nursery of gigantic business which
now employs more than twenty-five thousand
men. and has slaughtered 1000 cathe, 5000
sheep and $4,000 hogs in single day, selling
its products to the extent Of two hundred mill
ions of dollars year, not only In North Amer
lea and South America, but also in Europe, Asia
and Africa. A notable expansion!

Mr.. Davis was sheriff OF Starr

past twelve years has been one of

man in character and one of the
prominent representatives of South

Owing to kis kind and generous
treatment of all, no man had more
friends at Rio Grande City, than
he. His death at the early age OF
30 years is a loss not only to his
county, but to tie entire southern
portion of this state.

"PIZEN" THAT
NEVER LOST A CASE.
Nashville News.

Nashville News.
Four men employed by the Adams
Express company at Cincinnati
drank of a bottle of poisoned whisky,
which had been sent from Memphis
to lady in the former city, with
the result that one of the men died.
That whisky must have contained
rapid-fring poison unlike the
"pizen" whisky in this community.
Our whisky will kill, but it general
ly takes some time to do it. Taken
in large doses at frequent intervals,
say every fifteen minutes, for about
three weeks, it will make a safe
landing. 1t takes time and patience,
however, to get in good square
killing with whisky, but it will
come if the victim will keep taking
the booze. 1t has never lost case.
This calls to mind the case of a
young lawyer who often boosted
that he had never lost a case in his
practice Besides being a boaster,
the young lawyer was a heavy
drinker, and the ''pizen" was telling
on him. But he kept on drinking
and boasting of his record as a
lawyer. Finally, with a convivial
crowd he was just about to take a
drink. He held a glass of "pizen''
in his hand, and before drinking,
proudly told of what he had done
in his profession, winding up with
this boastful assertion: "Why
gentlemen, I have never lost a
case
A negro, who knew the young
lawyer, was standing by, and said
"Boss, if you will promise not to
get mad I'll tell you something
= maybe you don't know. That fellow
you hold in your hand has never
lost case, either"
The negro's words seemed
prophetic, for in due time the
''pizen" effectually performed its
!; =; mission, as the lawyers tragic death
nat sded another link to the long
