MOUNTAIN PEAK.

Mountain Peak, June IA good
rain fell here Sunday but not enough
to thoroughly wet the ground. it be-
ing so very dry after the long con-
tinued dry weather Some think it
will bring cotton up that has recent
ly been planted, while others think
that it will only cause the seed to
sprout and spoil. 1t would have been
a good season had the ground not
been dry so deep. 1t will be"of i'm
mense value to cotton that Is up to
a stand. Farmers are planning to
plant extensively of June corn,
sorghum and whipporwill peas.
Rev. j. c. Hearne Of Palmer
preached to a full house Sunday from
PauIs language to the church at
Corinth, Take heed to the doc
trine, etc. He advised hearers to be
instant in season and out of season,
and as regards the special meetings
to petition for rain, he did not speak
words of approval, but said consider
alton of such things should be in or
der at all times.
The writer believes in the efficien-
cy of prayers but Goes not believe
they are answered by a change of
Gods eternal purposes. But as the
writer is not church member, nor
ever has been, he is not competent
to preach and might get q preacher
after him, like Bill Cox has.
In the evening memorial and I'M
yelling services were held in the
cemetery There was a large number
of w. O. w. members present, to-
gether with large crowd of people
but not so many as were expected.
as memorial services were held at
other places.
Prof. Alderdice delivered an in
teresting and appropriate address
which was well received by the large
audience and a nice poem was recit-
ed by a young lady, Miss Burns. The
unyeiling ceremonies were over the
grave of w II. Boothe, recently de-
ceased. Frank Boothe, father of w.
H. Boothe, deceased, and now of
Knox City, attended unwilling SER
vices Sunday.
Prof. j. ID. King and wife were at
Mountain Peak Sunday. Their many
friends here are glad to know that
they have secured the school at How
ard for the coming year. The people
of Howard have been lucky to secure
their services.

BEAUTIFUL. WOMEN.
Paris Is Full of Them, and Nearly
All Use Partisan Sage.

In the beauty show three years
five different women;
To the most beautiful woman be-
tween 20 and %; between 20 and
80; between 80 and 3d. between 35
and 40, and between 40 and As.
A society reporter who interview.
ed all five women in the interest of
his paper, reported that all of them
had beautiful hair, and that each of
the five enthusiastically attributed
her luxuriant hair to Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is a discovery of
celebrated scientist, who spent the
best years of his life to perfecting
this great hair tonic.
In giving his recipe to the people
he said: "Parisian Sage is the most
delightful hair dressing in the world,
but it is more than a hair dressing.
1t cures dandruff by killing the
germs that infest the roots of the
hair; it stops falling hair; it gives
vigor and strength to the hair roots;
it prevents the hair from turning
gray"
Hood & Curtin sell Partisan Sage
at so cents a large bottle. and guar
antees it to do all that is claimed for
it or money refunded. If you don't
reside near a druggist who sells Par
iisian Sage, send so cents to Giroux

SOME GOOD DOCTRINE.

Here's some mighty good doctrine
from the Mineral Wells Index:
If you live in a city, live for it;
respect the greater power that pro-
tects you; that surrounds you with
the advantages of advanced civil
cation. and that makes it possible
for you to achieve better results.
Speak well of it; stand by it,;
stand for its civic and commercial
supremacy.
If put to a pinch, an ounce of 10y
atty is worth a pound of cleverness.
If you must yillify. condemn and
eternally disparage, why, resign your
position and quit the town, but as
long as you are a part of city do
not belittle it.
If YOU do, you are loosening the
tendrils that hold you to the COM
munity, and the first wind that
comes along you Will be uprooted and
blown away, and probably YOU will
never know why. Such has been the
experience of many

increase.
The total estimated decrease of
cotton acreage in the United States
for 1909 is a. per cent, or ! - TO-
9S5 acres less than last year, and
the average planting of the crop is
eight days later than last year.
There are two features of this ia
Bile worth commenting on, says
Home and Farm Texas seems to
have outgrown the boil weevil scare
and Texas shows an increase until
it reaches nearly one-third of the
total cotton acreage of the south.
The boil wCevil is moving into GER
tain sections of Mississippi and
Louisiana The result is that the
Louisiana acreage is cut down near
ly one-fourth and the Mississippi
acreage is curtailed nearly e per
cent Only a small part of the Mis-
sissippi territory is affected by the
boil weeVil.
The south is diversfying agricul
ture more than ever before. Keeping
the acreage down to the present di-
mansions, it ought to be possible to
secure good prices for cotton. and
also good prices for the crops raised
upon the ground saved by a reduced
cotton acreage.
