Fine Returns on HouS.

The editor last week in making a re-
port on a shipment of two ears of hogs
gave the Lyford hog r~aisers the credit
for both ears, when one ear should have
been credited to RaynoIdviile. The check
for the Raymondville car cited the ship
per II 100 and the Lyford ear, Ill $4,000.
A report showing the amount OF money
that has been sent 10 this part Of the val
ley for the fat hogs that have been ship
ped ont would be surprising to every one
and we hope 10 give "a correct report OF
this amount at an early date.

another ear received a check for II 400

been shipping hogs every week but the
price of today and the class of hogs being

II i only fair that the merchants should
do this.
ANY merchant with proper con-idera-
ton for humanity m general should realize
that the people who serve INN are entitled
10 q fair share Of rest and recreation
The citizens IN general should support
this movement on the part OF the clerks
and use their influence 20 induce the mer-
chants to csose their stores IL dark. The
patrons of our local stores should show
the same consideration. and do their shop
ping during the day, so that the mer-
chants would not w tempted 70 keep their
clerks 20 late.
The clerks are NOS mere machines. They
are human. and should receive The con-
