T. M. Wilson received a letter,
this morning from his old time
friend of thirty years ago, Rev. \V.
W. Edwards, a MethodlBt preacher,
of Sparta, Ills. Rev. Edwards has
occupied important chairs In Mc-
Kendree and other leading institu-
tions of learning In Illinois. Mr.
Wilson was associated with Mr. Ed-
wards In tha school work at Steele-
vllle thirty one years ago, and Is
highly pleased to renew ihe old ac-
quaintance as it brings to mind
pleasant memories of the days of
auld lang sine.

The Ennis Commercial Club has
undertaken to finance a proposition
to establish a modern (touring mill
at that place.
The benefits to be derived from a
county fair are apparent to every
body. Take stock today and he'p

The committee of business men

work this afternoon and is meeting

Bro. Evans of the Ronham
News gees windy times anead. He
says "Cyclones and campaign
speeches will now be the order of
the day In Texas—especially until
July 2Xth. So get ready for some
windy times, boys."
For the benefit of some parents
we know In McKinney and for the
general good of future generations
we reproduce the following from
the Dallas News: "The olive branch

not take the place of the poach

Greenville is engaged in street
paving. Sherman will follow suit
and McKinney ought to.—Mclvlnmy

Sherman started the paving in
this section and let up during the bad
weather. We are at it again. Teach
your people the game, Courier, and
show them how necessary It is to
follow suit.—Sherman Democrat.
1 The Blue Ridge Record hoists the
name of O. B. Colquitt at its mast
head for governor. Although there
are five candidates in the field and
the campaign Is just fairly opening,
It. takes no prophet to foretell that
the race in Collin will be between
Brooks and Colquitt. Doth gentle-
men are men of ability, strong con-
victions an.l are hard fighters. It
will be a battle royal between them.
Weather permitting, Saturday
May 12, wll be a gala day for Mc-
ney. On that date Railroad Com-
missioner O. B. Colquitt, will for-
mally open his campaign for gover
nor of the great state of Texas, in
our city. It is an honor to our cltv
to be thus chosen ns the town from
whence to launch n campaign for so
high an office. Consequently our
county and city will show their ap-
preciation by giving Colquitt a roy-
al welcome In which the followers
of Brooks, Bell, Campbell and
Moore should all join. McKinney
must be an Ideal hostess and ap-
pear at her beet.
The McKinney Dally Courier has
the following to say about out-
town and its picnic:
"After the program for the mor-

TIM'S EXCISE.
Thud! thud! thud! and so on for
half a minute came the blows
thick and fast on somebody's back
in John O'Hara's house. Then sud-
denly out of the door shot Tim.
holding his hands to protect the
back of his head. The tears were
In his eyes and a look of grim re-
solve on his face not to utter a
sound. He found Jim Murray wait-
ing for him and it was Jim who
heard the thuds.
Tim O'Hara was about thirteen,
and his brother Joe was eleven.
The one thing Jim cherished was
the young brother Joe. and Joe fol-
lowed Tim as a collie follows his
master.
Whats the matter, Tim?" ask >d
the sympathetic Jim.
"O, nothin'," answered Tim, "on-
ly father's been drlnkin' and is ugly,
and been poundln' me."
"What's he pounding you tor?"
"Nothin', only he's ugly. He al-
ways pounds me when he's drunk.
Come on down to the stone crush-
er."
"Hold on a minute, Tim," said
the wise Jim. "Why don't von
clear out. from home and get away
from them llckln's? I wouldn't
stand 'em If I was you."
"Alnt nowhere to go, If I wanted
to," answered Tim.
"I heard Mr. Bradford tell fath-
er this mornin' he wanted a boy on
his farm. He'll take you In a min-
ute. an' he's a good feller, too."
Tim's eyes shone, but he said.
"Good place, Jim, but I can't go."
"Why?"
"Cause I can't."
"Well, why?"
"Cause I can't. I tell yer!"
"Well, why can't you?" persisted
Jim.
"Cause." said Tim, "If I alnt
there to lick, he'll lick Joe."—

The following report was prepar-
ed to be read at the McKinney Dis-
trict Conference of the Methodist
Epicopal church south which met
at Piano in April, but arrived after
the Conference adjourned:
To Rev. 1. W. (.'lark. Presiding Elder
and the Members of the District Con-
ference of McKinney District of the
M. E. Church, South:
Dear Brethren—Your committee ap-
pointed by the district conference held
at McKinney one year ago to purchase
a district parsonage, beg leave to make
the following report.
In obedience to instructions received
from your body we, on the 29th day of
November, 1905, purchased of Brother
J. H. Ferguson a lot of land 244 f«et by
222 feet, making about one and one-
fourth acres. On thin property Is sit-
uated a good a-fi'l substantial residence
of six rooms and u small bath room.
There Is al*> f>s the lot a small, bui
convenient, barn for one horse, a cow,
buggy and feed room. The land Is sit-
uate)] about three-quarters of a mile
from the Public Square of the city of
MJcKinney, on Lee street, about one-
fourth of a mile from the Central school
building, has electric lights and tele-
phone connections, is connected with
the city system of water and has fide-
walk in front of the property. There are
convenient cross fenced on the prem-
ises, and makes a desirable home. This
property Is located In the western por-
tion of the city, and In the direction
that the newest and best residences are
being built, and In a short time will be-
come more valuable as McKinney ex-
pands.
The purchase price paid for the prop-
erty Is $2,000, and in our opinion Is
well worth that sum of money.
For further Information as to the
property we refer the conference to
Brother I. W. Clark, who occupies the
property.
Assessments have been made on th"
churches of this district to pay for th<
parsonage, and payments made under
said assessments are as follows:
