LETTER TO MIR. J. w.
 GRUBBS, NEWPORT, ARK,

Dear Sir: You are interested in the prosperity of your town. You can contribute to it materi- ally, and give it a far more pros porous look at the same time.
 Perhaps the public property needs a good coat of paint.
 Devoe will supply that coat with two thirds of the number of gallons required of any other. Devoe is all paint and full meas ure. Devoe is the strongest paint known. Devoe will take care of the property, in the long run, for half the money required by any other.
 The reason is stated above; Devoe is all paint and full meas ure; the strongest paint known.
 E. D. Jewel, Corry, Pa., paint ed his house 5 years ago with a mixed paint; took IA gallons. Last spring he repainted with Devoe; bought IA gallons and had 4 left. Saved S15 to $20, for painting costs two or three times as much as the paint.
 Yours truly,
 F. w. DEvoE & Co.,, 95 New York and Chicago.

VISITORS RECEPTION
 IN BATESVILLE

The train from Newport Tues day morning brought in a consid- erable number of citizens, accom- panied by their handsome wives and children. They came from Newport and were out to spend the day seeking pleasure them selves and to add to the joy of others.
 From the depot they drove to the Home, where the visitors were greeted by the happy in- mates. The visitors were well provided with baskets filled with good things which are always the chief attractions on such oc- casions. The day was spent most pleasantly. The dinner, which was in great abundance, was served on the grounds.
 In the afternoon the Citizens band marched to the Home and treated our Newport friends to some of it's excellent music. About 2::3O a rain began to fall, which put an end to the outdoor sports. Our citizens and the Home are always glad to wei. come the Newport Odd Fellows, and all unite in wishing them many more happy anniversaries. -Batesville Bee.

WHAT SUNNY JIM" KNOWS

Mayor Gibson attended the convention at Little Rock Tues day and returned home We'd nesday.
 The steamer Welcome depart ed for points down White river Monday, returning Wednesday with a good trip of wagon stock for Houston 6 Curtis of Chicago and Taylor & Gibson of Jackson port.
 White river is now low enough for the people along it's banks to get busy, and most of them are we hear.
 Stephen P. Bailey, organizer for the Fraternal Home, is ex- pected here Wednesday. A num- Der of his lieutenants are in town awaiting his arrival, and there'll be something doing in the old town tonight, methinks.
 Mrs. Lowery Grant has been quite i'll, but is improving at this writing. H
 We hear that Jacksonport is going to be honored with a brass band made up from her own citi- zens. We can not doubt it if the sounds we hear count for any, thing. Let the good work go on, boys. Always did say Jackson port would be in the lead some day.
 R. w. Anderson will hereafter be known as Sweet Potato Bob." His sales this year on the plants will more than double last years. He is the busiest man in town, we believe.
 Jno. P. Jones has, we note, added shingles to his already complete line.
 Miss Mamie Riddell returned from down White river on the steamer Welcome Wednesday.
 The friends of Miss Allie An derson spent a very pleasant evening at her home last We'd nesday evening. A number of young men from Newport were present, and also several young ladies from the country. All en- joyed themselves in various ways and we are sure all present did justice to the dainties placed be- fore them in the dining hall. Among those from Newport were Messrs. Geo. l.. Grant, Sprigg Foushee, Will Hurley, Will Sprigg, Dr. Ira Erwin and MT. Smith.
 We note that the list of Inde- pendent correspondents is grow ing. That is very good indeed. There are many who read the paper that are now away from home and it pleases them only too we'll to hear from their re- spective homes and to know what their friends are doing. One can- not appreciate the real value of the home paper until they get far away and then the desire to know what the old folks and others at home are doing be- comes irresistible.
 Now we hope to hear from Rattle Box and all the others.
 As my time is limited 1 am compelled to bid you adieu.
 SUNNY JIM.

 Any woman who IS silently suffering untold pains because she is too sensitive to undergo a physicians examination and treatment can find no excuse for not securing relief when Wine of Car dui is offered to her. There is no pub licity to deter her. She can take Wine of Cardui in the privacy of her home, with as much assurance of a final cure as though dozen doctors recommended it. Many physicians do recommend Wine of Cardui to their patients.
 Why not get $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist today?

Brownwood's Carnival is given
by a company owning ali of these
attractions aud which takes the
money away with it when the
show is over. Brentwood is no
better off after her carnival is end
ed than she was before, except
for the money spent with the BUSH
ness men.
San Angelo has always given a
show with "home talent" as it
were, and almost every dollar paid
out by the carnival people in pre-
NUNS, purses, or for expenses has
remained in West Texas and has
helped keep the country prosper.

The Waning Campaign.

The National political campaign
will be brought to n close next
Monday night. There will be
demonstrations, speeches, marches
and various kinds of political
gatherings that night. The repub-
licans are on the defensive, the
democrats aggressive and hopeful,
No one can foretell the result.
The Press believes in doctrines
of democracy and hopes for the
election of Hon. Alton B. Parker,
of New York, and Hon. IL. G,
Davis, of West Virginia, to the
offices of President and Vice Pres
ident. The Press believes that
the best interests of the country
will be subserved by their cleo
ton and this paper further
believes that Parker and Davis
will have a sufficient majority Ill
the electoral college to entltle
them to these, the two highest
offices in the gift of the American
people.
But there is one veiw the Press
does not entertain, and that is
that the country will be consigned
to demnition bowwows in the
event of the triumph of Republi-
canism. The American people,
at heart, are honest and sincere

General Corbin, whose recent
Disagreement of ma r ony
among young officers with small
pay brought out storm of pro-
test, has written an article in the
November Cosmopolitan" which
will stir up an even greater out
cry. This is nothing else than all
arraignment of the National
Guard as at present organized,
and plea for a change TO United
States volunteers. The mention
ed article is entitled, 1.-THE Third
Battle of Bull Rum" and de-
scribes the recent military ma
neuvers near Manassas, Virginia.
In the course of it General Cor
bin says:
"Under the laws now existing
organized militia comes under the
United States military authori-
ties for the purpose of drill and
instruction only, the discipline
remaining with the state authori-
ties. Such condition
made possible the situation at
Lewiston in October. 1912;
Il the militia in the emergency
became lawyers and refused to
cross to the assistance of their
comrades, on the plea that the
law said they could II be
used only for the purpos7 of re-
polling an invasion. y
Without remedy to the law as it
now exists, it IS not difficult to
anticipate repetition of this I'M
fortunates incident. General
Corbin also says that the United
States "never was a peaceful ma
ton, and that within the last one
hundred and twenty-five years we
have fought as many important
wars as any other nation of the
world"

Two Carnivals.

The people of San Angelo ought
to begin at once the plans and
preparations for the Carnival of
1905. We can't afford not to
have the carnival next year and
we can't afford not to change our
plans from those of this year.
Now there isn't any use of beat
ing the devil around the bush.
There IS n great deal of dlssatis-
faction concerning this seasons
event. Not that the people were
not here for the Lord knows that
the transportation committee did
efficient work. The crowds came.
There were more people here from
outside West Texas than San An.
gelo has ever seen. The attrac.
tions at the Carnival, to The Press,
seemed better than ever before.
OF course, we all acknowledge
that the absence of a roping con-
test detractcd from the Carnival's
attractions from an outsiders
standpoint. But the people who
came from abroad say that the
San Angelo Carnival was n disap-
pointment. Some use harsher
language. 1t therefore stands
San Angelo in hand to at once be-
gin discussing the subject of next
years show and to begin the pre-
partitions, not next summer, but
NOW.
The Press undertakes to discuss
the subject.
The San Angelo Carnival and
the Brentwood Carnival are OF
two distinctly different classes
The San Angelo Carnival has
always consisted of home attrac
tions, exhibitions of poultry
stock, farm products, with roping
racing, tournament riding anC
other competitive sports to make
out the show. The San Angelo
Carnival is in reality n fair
Brownwood's show consisted o
all sorts of shows gathered arounc
sort of plaza and called "thc
pike" There were balloon as
tensions, high dives, public aero
batic performances, and perhap
one or two other things whicl
were seen by everybody withou
money and without price, Ever,
thing else ranged in price from 5
to 25c for admission. Some on
figured that it would requir

The Flower Show.

Everybody in San Angelo ought
to work to help make the Flow
er Show success. The Wo-
mans Club, has upon the sug-
gestion Of The Press last spring,
devised this means Of helping sup
port and enlarge the Public liz
brary and the effort is worthy of
being followed. San Angelo could
not he fostering better institu-
ton than the Public Library.
Who knows but that sooner or
later the little beginning made
by these worthy ladies will de-
velop into fine, large collection
of books? Perhaps a Carnegie
Library with its enumeration to
the city and its help to those Of
San Angeles population who are
students and readers. And who
knows to what magnitude the
"Flower Show" idea may grow?
Maybe the time will come when,
as in the case of the Waco Floral
Society, excursion trains will
bring crowds of the "bon-ton" of
adjoining towns and cities to see
the display of beautiful plants
and to hear the musical and elo-
cution numbers on the Flower
Show program. This is no idle
dream. The Flower show of this
year Is but a beginning. The
time may come when it will be on
n scale four times as large. And
