If the average editor didn't con
eider that hour-and-a-half ride
around the city with the charming
young belles of Waxahachie suffi
cient compensation for ail the de
linquent subscriptions he ever had
on his list.—La Porte Chronicle.
The girl with whom we rode that
day was the fairest of the fair, her
eyes were deep and true, and blue;
her coils of midnight hair were piled
above a brow as white as alabaster
blocks; her smile would wco an
auchorite, our reason reels and
rocks when we recall her witching
smile; we simpered and were still;
and thus drove up dale and down
and over wooded hill. We strove to
talk; our soul was poised on inspira
tion'emount but when she turned and
smiled on us we stayed out for the
count. We know our tie crawled up
onr neck, we looked a perfect fright,
but still with heart and soul in tune
we bubbled with delight! And so
we say just that day's ride made
the year's work worth while—that
narrow, cozy buggy seat and that
enchanting smile.'
The Cotton Condition.
Ί he first crop raport of the New
Orleans Times-Democrat was pub
lished Tuesday. The conclusions of
this journal's correspondents may
be|summarized as fellows:
The increase has been trifling —
probably, about two per cent. A
considerably larger area was orig
inally planted, but much of this was
lost through the unfavorable spring
and the inferior character of seed.
Although the weather has been
more favorable during the last three
weeks, the crop is still very late,
and the stands leave much to be
desired.
The supply of labor is fairly suf
ficient on the whole, but many sec
tions would have difficulty in pick
ing a full yield.
So important damage bv insects
is reported as yet. but Texns looks
forward to the boll weevil's activity
with apprehension.
The outlook is in the main decid
lv below the average.
The reportfrpm Waxahachie says
The cotton acreage in this county is
from 15 to Λ) per cent greater than
that of last year. Oklahoma, In
dian Territory and Northern T»-xas
se**d mostly used. The stand so far it
very fair, though only about one
half of the crop is now up. The
labor supply is equal to the demand.
The season has been unfavorable
to the germination and growth of
the plant, the weather being too
cool for «rapid growth. Rain just
now is badly needed. The long con
tinued rams of the winter left the
«oil in very bad condition for plant
ing, and the continued cool nights
have retarded germiation. General
outlook at this time regarded as de
cidedly unfavorable.
HOT WEATHER WEAKKN8.
If you feel fagged out, listless and
lacking in energy, you are perhaps
•nffering from the debilitating effects
of summer weather. These symp
toms indicate that a tonic is needed
that will create a healthy appetite,
malt· digestion j>«rfect, regulate the
bowels and impart natural activity
to the liver. This, Herbine will do";
It i» a tonic laxative and restorative.
H. J- Freetrard, Prop, Orand view
Hotel, Cheney, Kan., writes: "I
wive used Herbine for the last 12
▼ears, and nothing on earth can
beat it. It wan recommended to me
by Dr. Newton, Newton, Kan." Vit

DEFEAT FOR THE ROAD TAX
*■
People Took Very Little Interest
in the Election.
All the return» from the special
election held last Saturday have not
yet been received, but enough have
been received to indicate that the
proposition to levy a tax of 10 cents
on the *100 valuation of taxable
property for road and bridge pur
poses was defeated. The peoi>le
took very littl· interest in the flec
tion and the vote throughout the
county wa* unusually light. The

District Conference.
I sometimes think that the citi
zens of this country do not properly
appreciate the good Christian influ
ence that is kept alive among our
citizens by the different denomina
tions who have congregations in this
country. Five years of my life since
coming west I spent in Southern
Arizoua, close down to the border of
Old Mexico, and in that country at
that time there was no preaching.
Not an organized church of any de
nomination whatever in hundreds of
square miles of that Territory, and
rough was no name for the state of
society at that time in that section.
Men and women when left wholly to
their own inclinations without the
refining and civilizing influences of
the Christian religion, naturally be
come corrupt. 1 have witnessed it
and I know whereof 1 speak. Wicked
men and careless women who never
go to church, or pay one cent to
wards the support of the Kospel in
! our midst, do not know nor do they
! realize or appreciate how much the;,
owe to the good ministers of the
; gospel who preach righteousness
; and a judgment to come to us,.each
I and every Sunday of our live», and
whether we go to hear them or not,
1 we are under obligations to them for
their ifood work in keeping alive
I among us a good, healthy Christian
religious sentiment, without which
we would almost laps·· into barbar
ism. You take the fear of a future
punishment away from the jjreat
majority of the human race and most
of us will be a great deal worse than
we were. In that Southern Arizona
where 1 lived, neither life nor prop
i erty was safe. This has been the
I history of all the settlements of our
frontier country, but when the
I preacher »nt there and began organ
' izin>r churches these roughs who
j neither feared God nor respected
j man, were forced to reform, die with
I his boots οι», or move on to other
! frontier
1 attended the Distriet Conference
at Midlothian last week. The Waxa
I haehie district comprises Is stations
and circuit» with a membership of
ι .seven thousand souls, and these dis
trict conferences are composed of
preuchers and lay delegates iroin all
the l»i churches. Quite a large dele
gation was present and Midlothian
entertained them nicely. The meet
j ings were held in the sew Methodist
1 church there built a year or two ago
: at a cost of marly $s,<WO, and it is
I certainly a handsome structure. The
j meeting was presided over by Hev.
Ο. T. Sensahaugh, Presiding Elder
j of the Waxahachie district. The
! proceedings were harmonious and
! reports from the different charges in
> the district showed progress all
i al^ng thj line of church work.
Rev. Horace Hishop, former Pre
siding Klder of this District, was
ι present from hi· home in Dallas and
did some tine work in the interest
I of missions for which he is now
i working. No better man could have
been selected for this work.

Dear Enterprise:—I have thought
for aome lime that I would tend in
t brief report of my work in the
;ounty. 1 have had charge of the
wagon for the past seven weeks,
and have traveled 275 miles, distrib
uted more than 80,000 page» of tracts,
Bold 512 books, visited 496 homes,
made twelve talks, found 25 homes
without bibles, I have giv.en away
25 Bibles arid Testaments to partie·»
who were rn>t able to buy them. 1
am delighted to go into the kind
homes in old Ellis County and lake
my little folding oriran. which my
Sunday school clues at Waxahacbie
presented to me when 1 first entered
the work, and s in jr the songs of Zion
to those who Lave not been able «.o
jro to church and hear them for years
even. My heart is jubilant with
praise when I have the privilege oi
talking to the children as well as
the older ones about Jesus and his
redeeming blood. Everybody is
kitid to me. May God bless them
all. Pray for me brethren.
