Kdltor Harben of the Klchardson
Echo, referring to the consolldution
of the McKlnney Gazette and the
Courier, with Tom Perklna and Wal-
ter Wilson as editors, says "Tom
Is a good rustler and Walter la a

good rustler and a gentleman ought
to make a good team. But it's a
pretty good Joke on Tom Perkins.

CHERRY PECTORAL.
Thursday, Aug 2, 1906.
Did your man win?
The people "have spoke."
The primaries furnished their
share of surprises.
If at first you don't succeed
getting office, try, try again.
in
Did a majority of Ihe people
think as you did, or did they think
■wrong?
The tin bucket brigade Is needed
In McKlnney. it would work won-
ders for the town.
The Longworths' honeymoon In
Europe seems to have been eclipsed
by /he Bryan fun.
From all indications (he Demo-
cratic State convention Is going to
be a most interesting one.
When It comes to close races,
Collin county and the Fourth Con-
gressional district has certainly
furnished them.
The Texas Campbells seem to be
pretty good movers, but whether
their pace is swift enough to win the
race can not yet be determined.
After having conducted ihe Petty
Knterprise for the past ten years.
Editor Briee Collins has discontin-
ued the publication of the paper and
will leave thnt section for the ben-
efit of hi* health. There Is not an
abler or more competent all round
weekly newspaper man In Texas
than Brlce Collins. He Is the soul
of honor, honest and conscientious
to the remotest degree, and as true
to his convictions of right as the
needle to the pole. The Courier-
Gazette earnestly Hopes thnt Ills
health may be restored and wishes
him peace, contentment and pros-
perity wherever his lot may be cast
throughout all tae future.
The Dally Courier and the Dally
Gazette and the Weekly Democrat
and the Weekly Gazette have been
consolidated and will be published
as the Daily Courier-Gazette and
the Weekly Democrat-Gazette with
Tom W. Perkins and Walter B.
Wilson as editors and publishers.
The consolidated papers have about
the largest and b^st equipment In
Texns and the publishers promise a
better service and they are In a po-
sition to do It. Tnls leaves McKln-
ney with one dally and two week-
lies which are enough for that good
and progressive town.—Italy Her-
ald.
Dowle declares that after his
death he Is coming back to com-
plete his work. I ne general opin-
ion Is that he is already a "dead
one,"
Don't allow yourself to become
unduly excited over the election, re-
member that God will continue to
reign and the Republic still live, no
matter which candidate Is elected.
The Denlson Herald remarks that
■when booze Is In control of an au-
tomobile there is danger just ahead.
The same thing applies when booze
!b in control of anything else.
It has been truly snid that poll-
tics makes strange bedfellows, and
never has that truth been more for-
cibly demonstrated than In the
Collin county campaign just clos-
ed.
The McKlnney Democrat (week-
ly) and Ihe Dally Courier, Ihe eve-
ning paper, both owned by Wilson
& Smith, were bought by Walter
B. Wilson, his partner, J. Franlt
Smith, retiring. Mr. Wilson and
Tom W. Perkins then consolidated
their papers, the Democrat, and
Weekly Gazette, and the Evening
Courier and Morning Gazette, In
the future only one weekly, \\li< h
will be called the Democrat-Gazette,
and one dally, Ihe Daily Courier-
Gazette, will be issued, with Tom W.
Perkins and Walter B. Wilson as
editors, publishers and proprietors
of both papers.—Western Publish -r.
Chicago.
The Courier-Gazette congratulates
Charles A. Leddy on his election as
County Attorney of Hunt county,
over several worthy opponents.
Charlie was reared in this city,
wherohe attended and was gradu-
ated from the public schools and
Collegiate Institute, and later look
a shorthand course In Detroit,
Mich., after which he studied law
and has, in the several years lie
has been a resident of Greenville,
met with gratifying success in the
practice of his profession culminat-
ing in ills election to this import-
ant office. Charlie Is young, ener-
Tlie Collin County Summer Nor- getic. brilliant and in every way
mal. which has just closed after a worthy, and the Courier-Gazette, in
seven weeks' term, has been one of ! common with his hundreds of
the most largely attended and sue- j friends, wishes him continued suc-
cessful ever held in the county. ! cess and a long honorable and use-
who has been pastor of the First
Christian church of this city for
something over three years, has re-
signed to accept the pastorate of
the Christian church in Gainesville,
effective September 1. During the
time that Bro. Bush has been a res-
ident of this city ne has endeared
himself to our people In a manner
and to a degree (hat falls to the lot
of but few men in a community in
a lifetime. He Is a consecrated,
earnest, zealous minister and a
broadmlnded, tolerant, genial man.
entirely devoid of the lenst trace of
bigotry, and Is held in the highest
esteem by the entire people of Mc-
Klnney. The Courier-Gazette pro-
foundly regrets that he and his
most estimable family will leave
our city, but sincerely hopes that
their lineis may ever fall In pleasant
places and that every good and per-
fect gift may always be their por-
tion.
"I saw a man pile mountains to
the skies, up which he climbed to-
ward fame's alluring heights, and I
saw the coffers bulging with bonds
and stacks of gold and of precious
stones. 1 saw him unfold the col-
umned Inventory of his fabulous
wealth and love and steep his soul
In gloating contemplation. 1 heard
the clamor of the crowded streets
and the shouts and plaudits of the
fawning throag as he passed proud-
ly by, and I saw him pass «on and
up toward the zenith of renown and
seek his place among the great, su-
premely satisfied with himself, find-
ing consolation In the thought that
envy assails the noblest, and winds
howl about the highest peak.
"And then I saw him look for a
moment Into his own soul and
blanch in affrighted terror at the
lilv.ck stain that sin had made, and
I saw a cloud of remorse settle up-
on his brow and the writhing twinge
of sore regret wrench it into
frowns, and I heard his heart cry
out in anguish, 'Oh, that I had ris-
en to the height by fairer means!"
—Bob Taylor.
The faculty and all the teachers in
attendance have done splendid
work.
Says the Denison Herald: "The
things a man likes best to eat are
usually the ones he ought, not to
touch at all." On the contrary, we
believe thnt the t.ilngs a man likes
host to eat are the very things he
should eat, unless he has an unnat-
ural or perverted appetite,
i*v __
McKlnney Gazette: There Is no
reason why any ablebodled man
should be without work In Collin
county. There Is work for all who
are not afflicted with a constitution-
al antipathy to Industry.
And th's Is true of every section
of Texas and the Southwest.—Fort
Worth Star.
Tom W. Perkins and Walter B.
Wilson of McKlnney have eonsoll-
ful career.
Walter B. Wilson bought out his
partner, J. Frank Smith In the Mc-
Klnney Dally Courier, and the Mc-
Klnney Weekly Democrat yesterday
and these papers were consolidated
with the McKlnney Gazette, under
the name McKlnney Courier-Gazette.
The consolidation gives McKlnney
one dally Instead of two, and tho one
should and doubtless will be a bet-
ter paper, and a bettor advertising
medium. Tom W. Perkins and
Walter Wilson will get out the dally
and they will make a newspaper
that McKinney ought to be proud of,
and give a liberal patronage. The
Courier-Gazette wll' mean a belter
chance to make something out if
the newspaper business In McKlnney
and Is a business step that promises
good returns.—Sherman Dally Reg-
ister.
McKinney Courier-Gazette: There
is one thing that the present gu-
bernatorial campaign has demon-
strated beyond all else, and that is
that no one but a rich man can
afford to run for Governor of Tex-
as.
The candidates and their friends
call attention to the fact that one
of them dug a ditch, another plow-
ed In plney land, another was a mes-
senger In a railroad office and an-
other chopped cotton or baled hay
on a black land farm. This Is ex-
ploited In order to show the great
genius of each rising to that eleva-
tion where lie could aspire or make
the race for Governor, It Is strange
that the candidates and their
friends do not go further and add
glory to the candidates by saying
| that with such lowly beginnings the
candidates, by their remarkable
] abilities, succeed in making enough
money to run for Governor, and
were able to throw away at least
$25,000 for an office thnt pays
$4,000 a year. If State Press had
a candidate he would be sure to
call attention to the fact that sirh
a boy as dug post holes, yet so su-
perior was his intellectual faculties
that he had accumulated enough
money to pay $25,000 for a $4,000
Job. The candidates and their
friends are overlooking a good
point here.—Dallas N.'ws.

Will cost more than a farm in East or West Texas. Why? Because it is more
fertile and will produce better results for its owner than cheaper land. Ths
same is true of the Kain Wagon, Superior Drills and Canton Plows, which we are
offering you. They cost a little more money to buy but will last longer and
produce better results than cheaper goods. It is false economy to buy goods of
any kind simply because the price is lower than first class goods can be sold for.

It will give better satis-

prove to be really the
cheapest in the end.
Besides good tools will do better work than cheap ones. We want to show you

ileve will meet the approbation ot'
every good, loyal and broad-minded
citizen of Texas. He sulci: Not
long ago we heard one man say he
would never vote for another prohi-
bitionist for any office. .More re-
cently we heard another .nan say
that he would support a certain enn-
didate for state office If said candi-
date were not an antl, but that he
had made up his mind never to
vote for an antl. This we k we
heard of a man sa.ving he would not
vote for a certaln- candldate becau>-e
another man was for him. All the
men here quoted are honorable,
pood men, but It seems to us that
they are allowing the great right of
suffrage to be influenced by passion
instead of their best judgment. Had
we voted against Joe Huiley, David
B. Culberson or Jno. H. Reagnn be-
cause they were prohibitionists, or
.lame Stephen Hogg, Richard Coke
or Frank S. Lubbock because they
were ant is we would feel guilty of
committing a crime against our
country. Let us be reasonable and
tolerant. Men will disagree on po-
litical, religious and moral ques-
tions while the world stands, and he

who has recen1. ly been elected to a
pert In the I'nited States Senate,
has not allowed tho dignity of his
high position to chill the genial
current of his soul and In Bob Tay-
lar's magazine gives expression to
the following beautiful sentiments:
Laughter is that, mysterious tide
of sentiment that flows from the
soul and t!v ' c.anot be expressed
In words; It ebbs and flows from
heart to heart and breaks Into
pearls and sllvery foam on the trou-
bled ri.ove-j ct human life; it turns
the liumbl ftt home Into a palace;
It makes the pauper a king.
Wherever Its rapturous billows roll,
we are tossed to and fro on the
sweetest waves of passion thnt
heave the human breast. Happier
is he who tickles the ribs of his
fellow man and charms laughter to
the lips of trouble, or dries a tear
on the cheeks of sorrow with the
sunshine of a smile, thnn he who
stalls his fellow man between the
ribs with the tongue of malice and
bitterness and thus crucifies laugh-
ter on the lips of Joy, or drowns
the sunshine of a smile beneath a
flood of tears.
a King once called his wise man
and soothsayers around him and
said to them: "1 am king of the '
realm; I have wealth and glory to 1
my hearts content; I have music to ,
charm my ears and flower gardens 1
to charm my eyes; I dwell In a (
palace; I sit on a throne: nrralea j
march when I command: ©very wish ,
Is gratified yet 1 am the most mis-
erable man Ita the world. I cannot
laugh; I am unhappy. Tell me,
wise men, where shall I find happi-
ness; tell me, soothsayers, how shall
! be happy." They held a lengthy
counsel and finally appeared before
the king and said: "Disguise thy-
self, O king, and go out among the
people unknown to them; search for
the happiest man in L.e realm;
make him give thee his shirt; put
it on and thou shalt lie happy."
The king went out disguised In
quest of the happiest man In his
realm and finally came upon a very
humble person who was laughing
by the wayside, and entered Into
a conversation with him. "Art
thou happy?" asked the king. "I
have not a moment of trouble,"
answered the man. ! am happy
day and night; life with me is one
continuous round of joy." The
king threw back his cloak and
said: "I am the king of the realm,
give me thy shirt." The man smil-
ed and pulled open his coat of rags
and said: "I haven't got any." The
shirtless man went laughing on
through the world while the
mighty king went signing back uj
his throne.
Happiness will floe from a pal
ace to dwell In a hovei, it will tun
its back upon a king to be the]
companion of a pauper. Wealtll
cannot buy It: power and positioij
are its enemies; it hides its face i<s
the presence of frowning ambition!
it loves to dwell among the hllll
where contentment sings, and whenl
nature rocks the cradle of poet'
and orators.
Of course there are a few «*xcf*pj

WHAT:
The Mutual Life
DOES FOR TEXA8
The records for a period of five years show that the
Company has paid to Texas policy holders in death
claims the sum of
81 >304.559.31
These same policy holders had paid the company in
premiums only
8488,090.75
Leaving a net profit to their families of
8816*468.56
For every dollar invested in premiums, the company
returned almost three dollars. Can you find a bet-
ter investment? You certainly cannot find one that
will be as sure to provide forthem in the hour of need.
There are thousands of men who tried to "beat it"
whose widows are working for daily bread, whose
children are left uneducated, or confined to orphans
homes, and whose creditors are left, unpaid.
Avoid these things by insuring in the
First American Life Insurance Company.
