The Treason Of tn. City Council.

The Treason of the City Council.
A little while ago we read of the
treason of the senate. That was in
the nature of things. Great tempta-
ton, the gingle of the dollar and the
consequent collapse of gigantic great
ness, and our idols fell. But the case
of our city council is different In
the selection of our city fathers we
voted, as best we could, for those best
equipped with patriotism, city pride
and piety. When we consider the
salary of these men and realize that
their chief pay is in glory, we are the
more chagrined by reason of late
ordinance prohibiting the use of the
telephone poles for advertising pur-
poses. Now, for ordinary advertising
that would be well, but just think, for
moment, of the amount of misery
liable to result from this action. But
this will not check the sale of MEL

The Cotton Receipts.

Considerable cotton is being mar
keted these days, and the market is
reported as steady, and with perhaps
so per cent of the crop out of the
fields. At the McInnis cotton yard up
to yesterday, 1853 bales had been
weighed, as against 1900 for the same
time last year. At the Calcote yard
the number of bales could not be as
certained, but up TO yesterday were
in the neighborhood of 2450 bales,
Very little of the staple is being
stored here.

vehicles, the excellent time of FIVE
minutes and five seconds was made.
Each of the eleven boys who partici-
pated have every reason to be proud
of the time made under the adverse
conditions that existed. An attempt
to lower this record will be made
next Friday afternoon, as all the boys
are confident that they can easily do
so. Special training in sprints and
short distance runs will be practiced
this coming week in preparation for
the next race.

YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Are Urged to Attend the First Chris
tian Church Sunday SchooI-A
Well Organized School.

At a recent meeting of the officers
and teachers of the First Christian
Sunday school, the school was reor
gained and divided into three depart
ments, with superintendent for each
department, as follows:
Seniors-S. A Taylor.
Observation-Disclosures Cohen.
Juniors-Mrs. J. A Stevens
Mr.. Geo. A. Wright will remain SUI
perintendent of the school, the other
three officers only having charge OF
the classes as means of increasing
the attendance, placing scholars. see
ing that children are well cared for,
etc.
This school will palana mighty eff
fort to place the enroiimgkt and at
tendance of the school at one thou
sand and when this is done land they
believe it can be done) they will go
after another thousand. There are
thousands of children and grown peo-
pie in Palestine who never attend
Sunday school, and these are the ones
this school will go after.
ALI members of the church are
urged to attend, or at least send their
children. They will be benefited by
so doing. Parents will keep their
children out of the public free schools
under no conditions; they make haste
to see that the children get there on
time, but when it comes to Sunday
school they fail to do their duty.
Send the children along, and come
yourself, and be there on time-9:3 80.
Plenty of room, good music, compe-
tent teachers and well organized
school is what the Christian church
offers those who wish to spend prof
itably and pleasant hour on Sunday
mornings.

Panhandle counties won thirty sep
arate prizes at the Dallas Fair on pro-
ducts of the farm. The text book
board might now take notice that
crops are grown in a section of the
state that the adopted geography de-
clares is unsuited to agricultural pur-
poses. And just to think, East Texas
counties got none of these prizes, just
because this section did not get up
the exhibits.

Right is the only thing that will
bring might. Right living, right think
ing, right acting leave their impress
on the man. The man who does
wrong dwarfs his conscience, and
dwarfs his life. 1t is the man who
lives right who will win. Wrong may
seem to triumph for season, but it
eventually traps its victim. Wrong
will lead to sorrw, to degradation and
to death. Right leads to happiness
and to success.

Safe blowing seems to be getting to
be quite a pastime in Texas just now.
The safest place for mans money
is in bank vault that is burglar
proof. To get into a bank vault is a
bigger task than burglars will under
take. They prefer to spot some
smaller private, or business safe that
is the boarding place for money.
There are several banks in Palestine,
and each is equipped with vault
guaranteed burglar-proof. And be-
sides all banks carry burglar insur-
ance. Your money is safe there.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A woman's idea of having great
charm is for you to tell her SO.
Men wouldn't even want to go fish
ing if that was good way to earn
their living.
A great advantage in being bach
elor is all the relatives-in-law you
don't have to stand.
What woman adores about stage
hero is she couldn't possibly live
with him if they were married.
The thing that tickles man to
death is how people can't help admir-
ing him in spite of his unpopularity.
