GOOD SCHOOLS THE CAUSE.

The report of the grand jury, to be
found elsewhere in this paper. shows
that after a careful investigation of
all cases reported to them, only seven
teen indictments we're found-ten mis-
demeanors and seven felonies. This is
a record old Brazos County should
feel proud of. For period of six
months, in county with a population
of more than $1,000 souls, only seven
felonious deeds committed against
the peace and dignity of the State
we're found and only ten misdemean-
ors. In speaking of conditions in
Brazos County, Judge ]. C. Scott
stated that he was at a loss to ac-
count for the scarcity of crime in
Brazos County, unless it was the in
fiuence the schools had on the citizen
ship, and declared that this county
had less infractions OF the law than
any county in his district, in proper
tion to population.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

A fool and his money are soon
Many man who tries to live right
gets left.
A soft answer never turns away a
book agent.
Some people are tireless in making
others tired.
Most people gladly take advice
rom a stranger.
1t might add to happiness if doctors
had bargain days.
Theory is all right in its way. but It
won't wash dishes.
All the worlds a stage, but it lacks
asbestos curtain.
Opinions. like visits, should never
he forced upon people.
A little learning is almost as dan
erous as a little widow.
Blessed is the woman who can get
long on short allowance.
When she expresses wish her hus
band usually has to pay the freight.
Anyway, married man doesn I
have to worry; he knows the worst.
Many woman has been able to re
form a man by keeping him guessing
The fact that mans home is mort
gagged is no sign that he owns ar
automobile.

The Tyler Courier-Times editor
says his sympathies are with the kid
who has to start to school next Mon.
day with an arm full of trust-made
books. Better be sorry for his dad who
has to pay for different line of books
at the opening of each session. They
change the books every year so the
smaller children can not use the books
the older ones used the year before.
1t must be new deal every session.
