Please let me knew when my sub

its being one OF the. family for 25 or
so years, my wife couldn't keep house
without its weekly appearance.
Had the pleasure OF seeing Louie
Raynoids the other day. While ON hts
return TO Tampieo. he visited with me
for two or three hours at the plant,
while waiting for his boat which sail
ed at daylight Thursday. and say. 1t
looked good to see face from home.
Myself and wife wa-e very much dis.
appointed 1t not getting to see hi,
wife. when we found out they wers
both here the week before.
We have had some rain here In The
past ten days. Some eleven inches
fell in this time.
II your theory is correct. that only
female mosquitoes sting. I wish to state
there are no males in Texas. as the
Texas mosquitoes sting from both ends

that l ever saw. II Canon only had
half the energy she would be as biz
as Chicago.
Yours truly.

With this issue the Times be,
gins its forty-sixth volume, and
for one-half Of this time it has been
under its present management.
During the past twenty.three
years since the writer has CONTROL.
ed its destinies it has endeavored
to faithfully record all happenings
Of local interest and stand as an ex-
ponent Of all measures that we be-
lieyed to be good for:the communi-
ty, the county and the state. In
public policies it has often diff
fered with the majority, but it was
honest and conscientious, and in
many instances time proved that it
was right. With renewed energies
we will begin volume 46 and try
and improve with age.

The Water Wagon a Poor Vehicle.

January First is a traditional
period when considerable number
OF men swear off from the seductive
clink of the social wine glass, and
the bibulous delights Of the more
furtive little black bottles. Some
how the Water Wagon never looks
as populous Feb. !, as it did 80
days earlier But it NAV be very
good means for transportation for
all that.
1t is hardly the province of
newspaper to tell its readers wheth-
or they should or should not alb.
stain altogether from the use of in
toxicating liquor. 1t may be said,
however, that cold water never led
any man to smash the funiture.
The fellows who use it can buy
cheaper life insurance, and they
often are invited to walk into the
front Office when they apply for a
job.
It is often remarked. that man
must be prepared to line up at the
bar with the boys" or he will be
considered unsocial, and cannot
make business friends. Nothing
can be farther from the truth.
The man who seeks friendship
will find it, whether he calls for
milk-shake or high.balls. When
there is money to spend for goods
o. services, it goes to efficiency,
and not to sweet smiles.
Total abstainers often make the
mistake, however. of assuming an
attitude Of mortal superiority. Let
them reflect that every man is his
own judge and jury when it comes
to eating and drinking. To be
sure, there is a superior court of
public opinion, and a Crest Judge
on high, that one day will hear and
.sct on the net results of every
pa ems life. Let them decide.
Wherefore, when you pass up
he h,igh-ba and elect the ginger
pop, I've careful how you hand your
peighbor temperance tract. De-
mon RUN is a tough old customer, |
Rnd he never reads statistics. |
Stand up like a man in your own
boots, but don't try to make the |
Pther fellow wear them, and you'll |
have friends all right, if you have
|the gift of fliendliness.
