have been made in Sherman of an

as flowing wells are concerned the
nearest approach OF that class OF
water bearing vein was from twelve
to fifteen miles northwest Of the city,
where wells dug more than twenty
years ago are still flowing.
While the immediate neighborhood
may have known it and the owner
taken it too much as a matter OF
course. to let 1t be known except when
seen, the first proof that flowing
water can not only be secured but
has bsen secured and in use has been
on the farm Of 5. p. Landrum, six
and a half miles north of sherman,
for more than a year. The story OF
this well is simple one To mean as
much as II does to the cities OF Sher-

When a man has an opinion or q
theory that happens TO turn out right,
how he loves to e about It!
When a man boasts hat his life Is
an open book, he had better scratch
wood: Some one might look into It.
Men are possessed or two great fears:
that they win become old, and that
they viii never live TO be old.
IL we were sure we could get an
original love letter in reply, we believe
that, rs old as we are, we would write
one. .'.
The man who uses a falsehood for
policy is like the woman who powders,
soon gets into the habit of putting on
too much.
When a man is always in a hurry.
1t is an evidence hat he lacks the ca
pacity to dispose Of his business In the
ordinary way. r
The louder a child bawls the less 1t
is hurt. Same way with grown peo-
pie: The more fuss they make the less
they have to fuss over.
A girls idea of the. most dreadful i'm
politeness is to allow her girl company
