Notice Subscribers.
A big majority of our nub* crib
era have promptly heeded our
cash-in-advaneo notices that have
appeared in these columns from
time to time, and have favore<
us with renewals* On Jan* 1
instant our cash in advance policy
weot into effect. We must now
adhere to the rule-ULStQP all pa-
pers tfhen timeTMuo^for is out.
We feel sure that none of our
friend* will expect us to mako any
exception. We are honor bound
to treat all alike however much
we dislike to stop a paper goicg
to a personal friend. To do
otherwise would cause the public
to lose confidence in u«. We
have already stopped u fo>y delin
quents and will, stop a few more
that remuin on our books just as
quick as we can get to them, un
less tbey favor us with paid up
arrearage aud cash in advance for
renewing.
Tho great majority of citizens
say they would rather take a pa
per that pursue* this correct
course, hence we feel that wo are
entitled to jour patronage on
these lines. We are going to
pu*h our circulation on this plan
and hope to add many hundred
new names on our list in tho near
future Tho Democrat is one of
the best county papers in Texa*
aud is so regarded among our
Texas exchanges. We will not<
bk kxckllkd in giving tho local
new* and issuing a clean up-to-
date paper. Our friends can do
us the favor by npeaking to their
neighbors about The Dkmockat'b
plan and give them a copy to
read. Those who arenotsubcribers
who rcceive sample copies uoed
not fear that the paper will con-
tinue. We simply want you to
see it and if possible favor us
with a subscription.
See the program of the Swine
Breeders' Association in this is-
sue, which will meet in Piano on
Tuesday, Jan 12. It is to be
hoped that Collin county will
furnish a good attendance. Let
a hearty welcome be extended the

' Lf- ty, a valued
and a
county, re-
Old Father Time is now rush-
ing along.
He stops not an hour nor s day.
The years slip by, with a whirl
and a sigh,
And thus our lives vanish away.
It's hurry- to work in the early
, ..
And it's hurry home to dinner,
Our homes are as oold as a board
ing house
And our biscuits would not be
winners.
Poor father must hurry back to
his work
And mother must rush to the rlub
Leaving dishes unwashed, bed*
not made
And floors that need to be scub-
bed
On Sundav it's hurry an<i scurry
to church,
It's hustle and rush to get there
To be in the pew and take a good
view
Of all new fashions during pray-
er.
The minister reads a beautiful
Psalm,
But they never cnce catch the
text.
The men are thinking of cotton
exchange.
Tho women "what fashion comes
next."
Dear parente stop and think for a
minute,
As you rush down the track of
ytars,
How many sad hearts are thirst-
ing for love
And neglected children in tears?
Your homes are as cold and
cheerless as dens.
You forsake your boy and your
girl,
Allowing teachers of our public
schools
To train them for lifo and the
world.
The first of the month is a day of
rush,
With great long bills to bo settled
And father goes home with a
heart not light
To find tho family nettled.
Mamie must have a new dress for
the ball
The coal bin is empty and bare,
Mother by all means must have a
new hat.
Sho's eoing to Vanity-Fair.
Just thi* moment the minister
calls
To offer some New Year advice,
And mother goes down with her
sweet smile,
Tho children are as mute as mice
but father remains in his room
upstairs.
While smoking his cigar he
thinks
Wondering why homo is never in
peace.
lis life not ruined bv drink,
lis thoughts wander back to his
boyhood days
When his life was a golden
dream,
His future was bright as the
noonday sun.
He carelessly launched on life,
stream,
He dreams of the home that was
always neat
And mother to love and caress,
A grey-haired father to guide and
direct.
Mother's songs to banish distress,
But alas those voices aie hushed
and still.
They are gone, and his heart
quivers
With pain and regret, when he
stops to think
They have crossed the mystic
liver.
And thus we continue to
with the tide
With vabiiy drawing us
Making hopeless wrecks of
homes aud life
Leaving loved ones sad aud
loin.
Young man don't think that a
tailor-made gown
One that fit* exquisitly neat
Is alway* required to make a good
wife
Or home that is dainty and swSet.
Adjustment of clothes i* all very
good,-
But look for adjustment of life,
For a dry good* sign at Vanity
Fair,
Will surelv not make a good wife.
Just look for a girl, who earnest-
ly strives
To bo of service to others,
And we'll warrant to you this
New Years night
She'll be a* true to you as your
mother.
Girls do'nt select from the ga\
throng of men
A man who would sneer at true
worth.
But learn to love the high mi titl-
ed, and pure;—
"A blessing to home and to
earth."
Now this is the only plan that we
know
Tosolvothis great question of
life. "
A kind loving husband cannot
make home
Unless he
rush
on,
our
for-
has help from his
8o ladie* we beg you seriously
think
Of this life as never before,
And help some one make a hal-
lowed home
Ere the close of nineteen and
four.

What's In a Name?
Everything is in the name
when it comes to Witch Hazel
Salve. E. C. DeWitt & Co., of
Chicago discovered some years
ago how to make a salve from
Witch Hazel that is a specific for
Piles. For blind, bleeding, itch-
ing and protruding Piles, eczema,
cuts, burns, bruises and all skin
diseases DcWitt's Salve has no
equal. This has given rise to
numerous worthless ceunterfeita.
Ask for DeWitt's—the genuine.

In looking over our record of]
country correspondence for 1903,J
we find that from January 1.1903i
to January 1,1904, The Democrat
contained twelve hundred com-
munications during the year. It
further appears that Bishop an<
Culleoka tied in number of time
represented—thirty-eight each
which means that these two phtcei
were represented in thirty-eighf
issues of The Democrat out
the fifty-two during tho year.
Just think of itl In these 120C
weekly letters were po-ttibly men^
tioned 24,000 names of persons-
telling of their coming and goinf
of weddings births, accident
and deathsf In addition to these
are published from week to week^
real estate transfers, vital statis-j
ties, marriage records, court ncw t
market, news and all local hap-j
penings in and near McKinney.^
This is done by-the aid of sixty
country correspondents, three
proprietors and a half dozsi
printers who labor unceasingly
throughout the year. AH this
done and a paper sent each wee|
to any part of tho United Statt
for only $1.00 per year!
Our young friend S W Lemoi
of Rhea|Milis, paid a very pleasaj
visit to our office for the purpt
of subscribing for The Democr
He stopped the papeVa few weel
ago, but the old family paper wm
so badly aliased he concluded
would subscribe for iA sgain.
