worth Honey 10 waxahschie.

The annual log rolling OF the
Woodmen to occur here June 2S and
. will bring more people, for the
time, than any event which has oc-
cured mere in many moons. You
cannot bring ten thousand or more
people together without getting re-
suits, both present and to come.
The people who will come to this
meeting will bring some money
with them, and they will leave some
of it with the business men of
Waxah ACHE. It will also afford us
a splendid opportunity to advertise
our town and it's many advantages
as a place of residence and for the
investment of capital. 1t will bring
many Ellis county farmers TO
Waxahachie who, perhaps other
wise, would not visit the county
capital during the year.
To properly entertain this i'm
mense throng will require some out
lay of cash. 1t is not right or prop
er to expect the organization which
invited them, and under whose aus
pieces they come, to bear all this ex-
pense, and the Light knows the
people of Waxahachie well enough
to declare that they do not expect
it, nor would they permit it. The
entertainment fund will be forth
coming, and whatever you may con-
tribute for this purpose will be well
spent and returned before many
days one, ten and an hundred fold.
Let's give the WoOdmen such a
welcome and such time that they
will never cease to talk about Waxa-
hachie. We can do it, and the
Light believes we will.

WHY YOU
SHOULD VISIT
THE WORLDS FAIR.

The principal and best reason
why a visit should be made to
this greatest of eXposltlons IS on
account of it's educational value.
A visit to the World s fair is in it.
self a trip around the world, for
fifty cents, the price Of admission.
The president of one Of our great
est universities has said "To the
bright student the exposition IS
worth a thousand college lee
lures" The opportunity of a
lifetime is afforded in which to
acquire, by a few days sojourn
at the fair, an education which
could not otherwise be received.
The Worlds fair grounds cover
over $4,000 acres, being more than
twice as large as that Of the
Worlds Columbian exposition at
Chicago.
Only a few weeks remain in
which to take advantage Of this
great opportunity. Every day
from now until the close Of the
fair is a "special' day. The WA
BASH is selling daily excursion
tickets to the fair at greatly re-
duced rates; $12 st. Louis and re-
turn, on sale daily, except Fridays
and Saturdays. Tickets good in
Palace reclining cars; $15, st.
Louis and return. Tickets on
sale daily, and good in either Pal
ace reclining chair cars or Pull
man sleepers. The WABASH OPP
crates through trains from Pitts
burg to the Worlds fair main
entrance, all trains leaving the
magnificent new passenger sta
ton, corner of Liberty avenue and

A Defense of Slang.

So far from being an evidence OF a
national levity and lack Of seriousness
slang is the language Of sincerity. 1t
Is the result Of an, instructive effort to
get as far away as possible from every
thing like pretentiousness. 1t is the
antipodes Of bathos. 1t is the lam
guage of the whole people, because 1t
is expressive of the national sense Of
humor that is never so keen as when
it contemplates with joy likewise
unutterable the spectacle presented by
a fake exposed. lie is blunt, it is crude,
it is brutal sometimes, but it is always
sincere. II directs against the citadels
Of evil the mighty enginery Of laugh,
