WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.
Dallas News: There are men who do
nothing with both hands.
Baltimore Sun: Uncle Sam is too big
to play peanut diplomacy.
Atchison Globe: A successful politician
works as steadily as interest on note.
Florida Times: Bluffing has carried as
many men through the world as merit has
managed to push through.
Nashville American: Carrie Nation
says that the dance is just plain hugging.
That is what makes it so popular.
New York Press: The more man
curls his mustache the more he seems to
think it takes the place of brains.
New York World: Fortunately for the
country, it's population is increasing more
rapidly than the railroads can kill it off.
Arkansas Democrat: There is religi-
Gus awakenening throughout the country
that speaks we'll for the future of mankind.
Mansfield Journal: The Southern Cot
ton Association is now recognized power
for advancing the interests of the cotton
grower.
Baltimore Sun: England needn't feel
so bad over Swettenham. We have a lot
of the same brand of fatheads in this
country.
Exchange: Railroad troubles every
where. An Illinois man lost his mind, his
hat, his voice and his religion hurrahing
for train that came in on time.
Dodson Times: The citizens of any
prosperous town are always public spirited
and united. Stand together, work for the
interest of the town. Always stand ready
to do your part. Don't grumble and spend
your time in prophesying failures, but help
to make every enterprise success-be it
great or small. Be energetic an enterprise
ing, and your example will be initiated.
New Orleans Item The South has more
advantages for the manufacture of cotton
goods than any other locality in the world.
We produce the cotton. We have strong,
continuous and growing demand from our
own people as well as from the outside
world. The outlook is that within very
few years the manufacture of cotton goods
in the South will have attained such pro-
portions as to center the eyes of the buy
ing world upon its mills as a source of
supply.
Dodson Times: An experienced teacher
says that pupils who have access to news
papers at home, when compared with those
who do not, are better readers, better
spoilers, better gramarians, better punctu-
ators, and read more understandingly, and
obtain practical knowledge of geography
in almost half the time it requires others.
The newspaper is decidedly an important
factor in modern life. This will not be
disputed by any one who has taken the
trouble to investigate the matter for him
self.
Dodson Times: There should be no
factions in any town. The property of
one individual and every improvement
made enhances the value of all property
in the corporation. Our town is simply
one big family. When this is discorded
there is little progress. When there is a
united pull for anything its accomplish
ment is made easy. Envy, jealousy and
hatred are things to be dispised. Envy is
a canker that gnaws at the heart and makes
folks sour, disgruntled and unhappy;
jealousy warps the intellect and makes us
unfair in passing judgment. Hatred does
not pay even from sordid point of view.
