Flattering Reports of Her Work
From Other Places Where
She Has Taught
The iCerrville Woman's Club
has spent the past week in close
attendance on Miss Daniell's cook
ing school. No innovation in
club work has aroused the inter-
est. which has marked these de-
monstrations, and each lesson has
brought it* number of new faces.
Miss Daniell's services are free to
the clubs, and only the necessary
expense of her board, fare and
materials used in her work in en-
tailed. To meet this the Kerr*
ville club charges a fee of one
dollar for the whole course of lec-
tures and demonstrations to club
members and outsiders alike. It
was expected that this would
ahout pay "the bills," but so
popular has the cooking school
Decome that the club will have a
neat little sum left as a memento
of Miss Daniell's visit.—Houston
Post.
Miss iilaria Daniell will be in
McKinney Feb. 16th to 21st and
give her course of lectures on
Household Economics and Cook-
inf Demonstrations under the
auspices of the City Federation of
Clubs,

Another Splendid Gift.
Another handsome donation to
the lacking $10,000 of the Uni-
versity v. fund wa« made Friday
Realizing that this is a critical
moment in McKtnney's history,
the Crouch-Saigling Oo. came for
ward with a $250 subscription
which is all the more commenda-
ble in the big firm since each of
its members have been so liberal
in their individual subscription-.
This makes the four:h sub-
scription made by corporations,
the other beiuj: the White Dr\
Goods Co. #500, the Stiff- Dry
Goods Co. $500 and Collin Coun-
ty National Bank's magnificent
gift of $1000 as reported yester-
day.
No town has a more enterpris-
ing or public spirited set of busi-
ness firms than Mclvinucv*
Chairman J. S Heard ex presses
himself as very much gratified at
"JLhe progress made bv tho several
' (Solicitors endeavoring to raise the
$10,000.
Our people arc according them
hearty encouragement by both
word and deed when ever called
upon. ' /
Let tho same spirit of liberality
continue to prevail and McKin-
ney will reap a tenfold reward.
Too much praise cannot be rc n-
dered the Collin County National
Bank ar.il these other three cor-
porations for their timely aid.
A dummer recentlv gave us a
ploasmt call. He lives at Maycs-
ville lentucky and just dropped

Editor Democrat:
On behalf ol the Board of Trus
tees of the University permit me
to thank the people of McKinney
one and all for the deep and sin-
cere interest they have manifest-
ed in regard to securing the Uni-
versity. From my very first visit
until the remarkable de-
monstration of Tuesday night
when the betrothal between Mc-
Kinney and the University was
announced, the climax of whic*;
was reached in the handsome re-
ception tendered us at the elegaut
home or Mr. W. B Newsome and
wife.
We know beyond all doubt that
you love us and 1 want to toll you
on behalf of all the Board wo
lovq you just as deeply.
Tuesday night we had our love
feast Over our betrothal. Now
we must get ready for the formal
marriage which will probably be
witKin the next forty days, when
we twill prove to the world that
there is greater pleasure (if it be
possible) in possession than in
pursuit.
We want to settle down at once
to 'hard earnest work, and to-
gether I have no doubt but that
we will make McKinney an edu-
cational center second to none in
the land.
We have conferred informally
with tu* local committees this
morning, looked at some new sites
and some new plans have been
suggested as to local matters. It
will need our best thought and
may take some little time to de-
cide what is best, but I shall move
to McKinney as soon as I can
arrange to do so, and the work
along all lines will be pushed just
as rapidly as the magnitude of
what we have undertaken will per
mit, 4
One of the most gratifying fea-
tures concerning tho future of tho
University is the fact that we
have behind the wck bore in Mc-
Kinney as fine a body of success
ful business men as any city in
th world can. furnish- Every one
of whom is in full sympathy with
the largeness'of the plans of the
University and ready to give his
best thought and business ability
in carrying them to their fullest
sucoess.
For McKinney and the Uni-
versity, W. H. Claoktt.
Hon. W. T. Beverly was ap-
pointed Judge of the Fifty-ninth
Judicial District by Governor
Lanham before noon Thursday.
Mr. Beverlv who returned from
Austin on the morning tram re-
ceived a telegraph message at 12
o'clock from Hon. J. Nelso Gris-
bam informing him of his ap-
pointment. '
The news was received with
heartfelt jov by Mr. Beverly s
many friends here. It is a high
hon >r, worthily bestowed, on one
of the ablest, purest «nd best men
in Texas.
Mr. Beverly was born and rais-
ed in Collin ounty. He is u son
of Rev. John Beverly who was an
itinerant Methodist preacher, and
served McKinney charge as pas-
tor in 1867. His aged mother is

another son.

ham had signed the bill that cre-
ated the new Judioial district

GRAYSON PLEASED
The New District Court Will
a Long Felt Want
Fill
A Caif Auctioned Off.
A bill was passed bv the legis-
lature Thursday, creating a new
judicial district composed of Col-
lin and Grayson counties, This
will give us two district courts at
Sherman. This is a measure that
ha* been needed here, lor while
Judge Maxey has kept up tho
docket sit)ce ho lias been in, it has
required a continuous session and
the greater part of the time night
sessions. Under the bill just pass-
ed, the judge of the new di-tn'ct
will bold seven mouths in Collin
and five months in Grayson
county.
This will in-ure a cleaning up
of the docket which has been in a
ci o wiled condition for years.—

Rarely ever in tho history of
any town is the unanimity and en-
tliusiasni of u people so evident
as is seen at the present time in
McKinney in behalf of the cause
of higher education. The day
laborer and capitalist alike are
cheerfully contributing of their
moans to tho common cause
for tho future intellectuality,
social elevation aid commercial
advancement of our city.
The Collin County National
Bank seeing McKinney so near
the goal of getting the gieat Texas
Presbyterian University, yet hard
pressed to raiso tho last $10,000
necessary to guarantee the prize,
came forward and subscrib-
$1,000 which is one-tenth of tho
entire required amount, as a
starter.
This magnificent, act of liberali-
ty and public spirit by this prom-
inent banking institution will
serve to render it even more pop-
ular, as well tis to hasten the time
for beginning work on the Uni-
versity.
The officials ami stock bidders
ofthebauK were already large
indiyiij nil contributors. Hence
their 1 itest sub-cription is all tho
more commendable and worthy of
emulution by every privato and
publio interest concerned in Mc-
Kinucy'* fu'ure welfare.

Several Hembers of the Farmers
Institute Entertained
Talks By H. E. Singleton and E.
W. Kirkpatrick. A Cordial
Reception
Seguin, Tex., January 28.—sThe
following office;.s aud members of
the State Farmers' Institute ar-
rived in the city this morning to
till their engagements to lecture
to the farmers of this county, and
to make the local Institute a part
of the State organization: J. H.
Council of Dallas, president; E.
W. Kirkpatrick of McKinney,
vice president; H. P. Attwater of
Houston, second vice president;
H. E. Singleton of McKinney, J,
H. Tom of Georgetown, W. O.
Cumtmngs of Cleburne, J. Mc-
Millon, Sr., and J. McMillon, Jr.,
of San Antonio. The committee,
headed by Mayor Zorn, Captain
W. A. Fitch, John Moore and
others met the visitors at the do-
pot aod escortod them to town in
carriages. They breakfasted at
the Grand Central hotel aud were
afterwards escorted by tho com-
mittee to the ice factory and cold
storage plant, tbo oil mill, the
compress and other enterprises of
the city. After the drive around
the city they were taken to tho
court house,|where the lectures be
gan promptly at 11 o'clock.
H. E. Singleton took up the
subject of r«.ising hogs. He said
that we wculd drive the people of
Illinois and the East out of busi-
ness if wo took advantage of the
laws of nature. We had advant-
age in the way of ten months of
warm season; besides, we could
raise two litUrs a year, where
they could raise only one. Every
farmer should be a dairyman; it
is essential to hog raising. Green
feed is necessary to hogs, and
they should have pnsturcs—alfal-
fa, Bermu da grass, sorghum, oats
barley and goober peas are all
splendid feed. We depend too
much on corn. A hog will starve
to death in a well-filled corn crib.
Evorytanuer should have his own
butter, eggs and a fruit garden
and vegetable garden to feed
the waste to hogs. He said ho
pastured his hogs in the wheat
field nearly twelve months of tho
year.
h. W. Kirkpatrick of McKin-
ney next spoke upon hoi tit ulture
He dwelt, extensively upon tho
subject of beautifying homes nnd
then took up the subject of plant
ing fruit and pecan trees. Ho
said the pecans could be cultivat-
ed to a higher degree; that apples
at first in their wild stage were
nothing but small-sized crab ap-
ples; that potatoes and tomatoes,
the oream of vegetables of the
present day, when first discovered
wild were thought to be poison-
ous and were valueless. Tho in-
genuity of man has made them
the choicest of diet. He also spoke
of the benefits to bo derived fr
grafting.
