THURSDAY, NOV. 86. 1908
CA5H IN ADVANCE.
Since our last issue quite a
' number of our subscribers have
called and stated that they read
our article in The Democrat last
week relative to adopting the cash*
in-advance system, by stopping
all papers when the time paid for
if out. These readers without
exception endorse the idea of
adopting the rule. We have con-
cluded t>> institute this strictly
business-like plan beginning Jan-
uary 1, 1904. All subscribers
after that date will be required
to pay in advance and the paper
will be stopped when the time
paid for expires unless renewed.
All present subscriptions which
expire on or after Jan. 1st next
3 II also be discontinued at date
expiration unless renewed.
All who are in arrears will reccive
statements of the amount due
with a request to call and settle
up and renew their subscriptions,
if not convenient to call at once,
remit by postoffice money order
or registered letter. The expira-
tion date of subscribers are pub-
lished each week in plain figures
opposite their respective names.
By referring thereto you can as-
certain at once how you stand on
our nooks.
IT IS BEST PLAN.
Greenville,Tex.,Nov.23,—In re-
gard to the proposition to place
the Democrat on a cash-in-advance
bat-is, stopping the pnper when
time paid for is out, I desire to say:
If a man does not renew when his
time expires It is right to stop it
until be does renew. It certainly
takes money to pay the expenses
of a printing business, conse-
quently you cannot afford to send
•out papers for fun unless you
have plenty of financial backing
and have money to throw at the
birds. We know that the Demo-
crat force are working bard try-
ing to please their subscribers.
I think that it is a very bad idea
for a man to go in debt when he
could keep out and I for one
would be willing to pay in ad-
vance. 1 am going to renew when
my year is out for I like the
Democrat on several accounts:
First—it is an up-to-date local
paper.
Secondly-lt advocates Temper-
ance and does not advertise whis-
key, and is always ready to help
fight the battle for justice.
Thirdly-—It bears the Union
label and that goes to show that
there is Peace, Love and Unity in
its publication.

Greenville.

Attest: T. C. Andrews,
.. . Justice of the Peace,
lW$ct So. 1. Collin Co., Tex.
Parker, Nov. II.—'The end of
another week finds me here where,
fourteen long years ago I made
my first stop in Collin county.
Time hts wrought many changes
since then; many friends of that
period have crossed tbe river that
sepaiates the present from etern-
ity; others to better their condi-
tion financially have sold their
possessions here and moved west;
and so time goes onward in its
flight and people move to and fro.
The CP church has recently
been repainted and otherwise im-
proved and the school bouse will
probably receive some attention
in the future.
Dr J T Watson looks after tbe
health of the community, and R
K Bell dispenses candies, fruits
and chewing gum to the pretty
girls with an occasional box of
vermifuge to the pestiferous
small, boy.
Mrs W T Turner (nee Grisham)
is teaching the piano ant organ
to a large class and will continue
indefinitely as patrons and pftpfft
aie well pleased.
T J Haley has Just returned
from a prospecting trip to Has-
kell county. He speaks id glow-
ing terms of the west and will
move bis family there in a few
few days, having previously sold
bis farm here.
Tbe rccent cold wave caused a
"slump" in the pork market.
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving
and brother Newsome and the
good people of Lucas may have
trouble with me on that day as I
have a decided "leaning" towards
turkey.
Rossetter and Gregory have gin-
ned about 401) bales of cotton this
season which is about one-half
they do ordinary seasons although
the cotton crop is better than ex-
pected some weeks ago.
T,L Johnson is the village mer-
chant and Tom sells goods be-
cause thev are cheap and up to-
date.
It has been my good fortune to
spend, at different times, weeks
and sometimes months with the
good people of this community,
biil at no time was my stay ren-
dered so pleasant as this one.
Have spent nearly two weeks
among my friends here anddidu't
get around to see all.
Mrs 8 V W ard, C A MeMillen,
T L Johnson, J T Rosetter, J R
Sullivan, W H McGuire, C B
Cheatbam and George Williams
swung their doors wide open and
gave me such an eld-fashioned
welcome that I regret to leave
here for Allen early tomorrow
morning where I'll board the train
for McKinney and spend the day
quietly with Mr and Mrs W A
Holder. D. W. Leigh.

T.
In advertising that they will re-
fund the money to any one pur-
chasing a Hyomei outfit who can
say that it has done them no good
in the treatment of catarrh.
Smith Bros. & Co. mean exactly
what the guarantee says.
Of course the percentage of
cures by Hyomei is nearly one
hundred or else we could not af-
ford to make this unusual offer.
But if tbe treatment should not
be adapted to your case there
will be no questions or quibblmgs
when you go to get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh
is due to tbe presence of germs in
the air passages is now admitted
by every physician. It stands to
reason that catarr'i cannot be
cured unless these germs are first
destroyed. The Hyomei treat-
ment kills the catarrh germs even
in the minutest air cells, soothes
and heels the irritated mucous
membrane and makes complete
and lasting cures in cases that
have resisted the usual methods
of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured b
medicines administered throug
the stomach. Hyomei is the only
natural method and it has made
cures that seem miraculous. The
outfit costs but $1 and consists of
an iuhaler which will last a life-
time and sufficient Hyomei for
several weeks treatment. Addi-
tional bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for 50c.
Smith Bros. & Co. five their
personal guarantee • with every
Hyoiuei outfit they sell to refund
the money if it doos not cure.
There is np risk whatever to (the
purchaser Of Hyomei.
Wejjl|k now ledge a pleasant
visit «ra$ Sum H. Dixon, of
Houston^ Horticultural director
for $be Texas WorM's Fair com-
mission. He is here today in-
terviewing the World's Fair
workers.- He is tbe guest of E.
f, Kirkpatnck.
The Mill Remnant Bfle at
Ones! & Co's. will begin Tues-
day, j^eo. 1st. A double fore* of
sale* peoplo will be engaged.
Tbe front of the store is covered
with green signs. The inside of
the store is decorated, and tbe
green tickets, which mark the
remnants, distinguishing them
from the regular stook of tbe
store, are every wheie. .
Mr. W. T. Emory, *ho is
practically directing the sale, is
agent for the New England Mills,
be is stopping for a few days at
tbe Wade Hotel and when inter-
viewed said:
"I am here to open our .well
known Mill Remnant Sale with
one of your most enterprising
and progressive retail dry goods
stores.
"People often ask, what is a
Mill Remnaut? and why do mills
make these Remnants?—'Which
they always sail at much less
than it costs to make, and at
such a loss. The answer is this:
In tbe first place, tbe mills can-
not Help making these remnants,
for the reason tbere never was a
loom yet made that would invari-
ably and always make a perfect
weave cloth. Now, the mill rem-
nant comes as th,e result of this
imperfect weaving. If a piece of
cloth, eay of 50 yards is being
woven, tbe operator outs the
piece in two, and cuts out the
imperfectly woven place, and tbe
good piece goes to the remii&ot
pile. It may be one yard, three
yards, five, ten or twenty yards."

The Autumn with its fsding and
falling,
Its harvests of fleece and gold.
Has eome with its stiiking moni
tions,
Mem'rie* tender snd dear to
unfold.
And all along with feverish heart
throbs
Ws hsve seen tbe greet world
st onr side; •
We have board the dresd clashing
of great paries
In their power, envy and pride.
And, alai! we, have beard with
hearts bleeding,
The death wails of thousands
and more,
Among whom were monarchs snd
princes
Whose crowns oould not keep
from the door
Of their kingly and Jeweled deck-
ed palaces,
Tho pale bitfeth-taking messen
ger dresr.
Befbre we, too, may be fallen
Ere another thanksgiving is
here."
The word Thanksgiving is laden
with love and beneficence and
touches a tender chord in the hu-
man heart and causes our thoughts
to revert to ecenes of bygone
years. Some are bright tinted
and gay while others are sombre
and dull.
In many homes in city and
country there is always extensive
preparation made for Thanksgiv-
ing, and many are the hearts that
beat happily in anticipation of
tho festival, while full as many
hearts are too heavy burdened with
care and sorrow to heed tbe day
at all.
We are told of many quaint
and pretty customs of the English
on lhanksgiving. But we Ameri-
cans are living at such a rapid
pace we never have time to enjoy
a real Thanksgiving.
We have certain hours to eat,
to sleep, to work, to rest, to at-
tend church (if we are not busy)
and it seems a certain time to be
thankful, and that time fixed by
our President.
But the great Supreme Presi-
dent of tbe Universe proclaims a
continual thanksgiving—a thanks-
giving service in the human heart
every day, not just one day out of
every "£hree hundred and sixty-
five." God is continually be-
stowing noh blessings upon us as
indif idualft and as a nation, and
yet we do not. take the time to
render thanks unto Him for Hib
love snd kindness.
When the golden harvest has
been garnered in and our loved
ones who have been absent, re-
turn for the annual family re-
union, then truly it's time for a
great rejoicing. In fanoy we see
a dear old couple as they stand in
the door of the old homestead and
with ttWMlimmecf eye and anx-
ious face, watch for the coming of
a dear boy who is away in some
distant city and bee written a line
to say he'll "try" to spend thanks-
giving with homefolks; or, per-
haps, it's a girl who is away and
longing to get home to mother by
that cheerful log fire and have
her loving bands stroke those
silken locks-while her tired heart
cries out:
Backward* flow backward,' oh,
tadernf ?the years;
I am so weaiy of toil and of tears,
Toil without recompense, tears
all in vain,
Tske them and give me my child*
hood sgain.
I have giown weary Of dtasii snd
deoay.*
Weary of flinging my soul-wealth
away;
Weary of sowing for others to
reap,
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock
me to sleep.
Sometimes it is several boys
and girls, with families of their
own, who gather at tho festive
board of the old home, and ob!
what a loyful thanksgiving, and
such a feast of turkey, pumpkin
pie and plum pudding, and in the
evening they gather in the parlor
and mragle their voioes in singing
tbe good old songs of lone ago—
all are happy and g*r. But in
some homes there Iseehade of
sadness on the faces and a vaqapt
obair for some member of wm
family circle has gone to pir-
take of the banquet of Am king at
