We quote and endorse this from
the Dallas News: "Of course the
News would advise the voter to cast
his ballot against the thing for
which Senator Bailey stands; but it
advises every democrat to vote
whether he does this or not. The
News will be perfectly frank by ad-
ding that it does not believe that
this advice is needed by the support
ers of Senator Bailey. 1t believes
that they will go to the polls, al
most to a mainland that they will
vote without fail. If it is right in
this conclusion, the necessity for
similar interest and energy on the
part of the opponents of the prac-
tees demoninated Baileyism must be
apparent to ALL" The principles in
volved in this campaign are entitled
to a full consideration and a full
democratic vote. Baileyism will poll
it's full strength and every voter who
is opposed to Baileyism should vote
in next Saturdays primary. An issue
is involved that should call every
democrat to the ballot box.

FRIENDS REMEMBER MINISTER
Mr.. Chalmers Mcpherson Presented
with Handsome Gold Watch.

The Mcpherson home on West
Main Street was scene of much
beatty last evening in fest,Fe
dress of graceful ferns, fragrant =
censiol lilies, rcs-s and )tner spring
flowers.
The occasion was a general recep-
ton by Mr.. and Mrs. Chalmers Nc
Pherson to their many friends in the
city, not only in Mr.. McPherson's
| church, but among other denomina-
tons as well, and during the receiv-
| ing hours a great number of friends
and admirers came.
| This pleasant affair was not with
out its tinge Of sadness, for it was in
the nature of farewell party, at
the elimination of Mr.. McPherson's
| long and successful ministry here,
and both the church and friends at
large are loathe to lose Mr.. McPher-
son and his most estimable family.
For "old times sake sadness was
put away as much as possible and
the company made merry the even
ing-this memorable evening.
After the guests had all assembled
and Just before the beginning of the
games of forty-two, hush fell over
the assembly, as Mr.. MCPHERSON
voice was heard speaking. Earlier in
the evening before the assembling
| together of the guests a messenger
had arrived with small, but inter-
esting looking package for Mr.. Nc
Pherson, and as he Willingly put it
his curiosity, which he inherited
from his wife and daughter made
him eagerly tear open the package
to find a beautiful solid gold watch
with gold hands and on the back of
the watch are his initials, &C. Mop.
in monogram, ia quaint old English
engraving, while inscribed beneath
are these words, Loving remem
! brance of Christian church, 1908.
| In most touching little speech Mr..
Mcpherson thanked the members of
the Main Street Christian church
! for their beautiful gift of this hand
some gold watch, in loving remem
brance to him. After the speech he
made prayer, which fell as loving
| benediction upon each bowed head
present
| From a coZy nook, characterized
by the beauty of it's red and green
color scheme, was served throughout
the evening, delightful nectar and
waters by Miss Elizabeth Moore and
Miss Clara Mincer.
Miss Halle and Mr.. Albert Nc
Pherson, daughter and son of Mr..
and Mrs. Mcpherson, and large
number of their friends, assisted

WHY so WEAK.
Kidney Troubles May Be Sapping
Your Life Away. Waxahachie
People Have Learned This

When healthy man or woman
begins to run down without appar-
ent cause, becomes weak, languid,
depressed, suffers backache, head
ache, dizzy spells and urinary dis
orders, look to the kidneys for the
cause of it all. Keep the kidneys well
and they will keep you we'll. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them well. Here is Waxahachie
testimony to prove it.
E Hopper, farmer, living three
miles north of Waxahachie, Texas,
on R. F. D. No. 2, says: Il was
troubled considerably with my back
and kidneys. Sharp pains would dart
through me and when STOPPING ii
was all | could do to straighten up
again. There was also difficulty
and annoyance from the kidney Sc
cretions which were too frequent,
Since using Doans Kidney Pills
there has not been any return of
the trouble. From my experience
with Doan's Kidney Pills I can GER
tainly give them a good recommen-
dation."

The Ennis News says: The Fort

A MIGHTY MEAN MAN.

A number of years ago the man
bought lot in thinly settled sec
ton of the city, paying for it $500,
saws the Fort Worth Telegram.
Another man bought a lot next to
him, also paying $500. The second
man had just married and was work
ing for salary The first man lived
from his income,
The second man had a house built
on his lot and started paying for it
on the installment plan. He was
making a fair salary and in a few
years was able to finish his pay
ments In the meantime he had built
fence around his lot, sodded a
lawn, planted some rose bushes,
trees and shrubbery and greatly i'm
proved the general appearance of
the block in which he lived. The first
man let his lot go unimproved and
paid it no attention except to have
the Johnson grass cut off it twice a
year
A sidewalk building campaign
the two lots were located. The man
who had built the house wanted a
sidewalk. His neighbors who had
homes nearby wanted one, too. They
got up a paper for signature by all
the property owners on the block
and everybody signed except the man
who had never improved his lot.
"Why should I build a sidewalk"
he said. Il don't live in that part of
town"
So the other neighbors built their
sidewalks, leaving the vacant space
in front of the mans lot. 1t rained
good deal and the vacant space be-
came very muddy, but the neighbors
were obliging enough to put planks
across it,
Finally the second man who had
built his house and improved his
property got tired of the vacant lot
next door and said to his wife: Il
believe I'll buy it. 1t cost $500, has
been vacant ten years and at the rate
of ten per cent interest it should be
worth $500
He called on the owner of the lot
and said: Il want to buy your lot
next to mine. I'm tired looking at
| it."
"What'n you give?" said the first
man.
81 figured that it ought to be
| worth $500, seeing that it cost only
$500 and has never been improved
, n ten years.
"SS00?" said the first man. 'Yol
are crazy | won't take a cent les:
than $500 for it. It's in an i'm
proved neighborhood, has light. wat
err, sidewalks and everything else ad
joining. | can get 81, 500 for it an
day"
AMI | and my neighbors helpe
make it worth $500 for you sal
the second man somewhat bitterly
"You remind me of swamp-brec
malarial bloodsuckling mosquito
Good morning.
The second man was little hot
tempered. but hadn't he right t
be?
