Don't be a drone In this busy old
world. Get busy.
Collin county's corn crop is better
than the average yield.
The cry for cotton pickers will
soon be heard throughout Collin.
Some mighty fine flsh stories are
going the rounds in Collin county
just now.
Every citizen owes a duty to his
town that he can not Justly or right-
fully shift to the shoulders of an-
other.
McKinney Is one of the wealthiest
towns in the United States, but more
of that weulth should be invested In
industrial enterprises.
Be tolerant. Don't think harshly
or speak slightingly of a friend Just
because he cannot see everything
Just exactly as you do in business,
politics or religion.
The W.vlle Knights of Pythias de-
gree team is reputed to be one of
the best of the order in Texas. Their
recent visit to McKinney was very
much uppreciated by local I'sthians.

In Sept. M at Whitrwrtfttit.
Whitewright, Tex., Bept 2.—Gray-
son College will open its twenty-
third annual session Bept. 8, and the
feature of interest at this year's be-
ginning of the fall term is the
changes thut have oocured in the
faculty since last year. ORlciuls of
the Institution say that the faculty
has been greatly strengthened by
reorganization. President P. E
Butler, after an absence of five, years
has returned and will preside over
the faculty. Dr. Butler will occupy
the chair of Latin. Prof. H. S. Pur-
sons Im retained in the chair of His-
tory and Mental and Moral Philoso-
phy. Prof. K. It. Williams remains
at the helm in the department of
mathematics. Prom Swiuer College
comes Prof. 8. 8. Stroup as professor
of Oreeii and from Burleson College
Prof. J. E. Abney, who heads the de-
partment of Science and English
Literature. Other members of the
faculty are: Dr. Hans Christian
Wulf. brother of Dr. Otto P. Wulf.
teacher to the children of the Csar
of Russia, director of music; Miss
Bessie Butler, piano and voice In-
structor; Miss Minnie Byrd Jeuks
of Parsons College. Iowa, Instructor
in oratory and physical culture for
the ladles, and Miss Adah Truett.
director of art.
Social activity In this city will
mark the opening of the college,
bringing as it does many young men
and women from other sections of
the slate. Athletics will form not
the least feature of the fall term.
Burn anil Stock limned.
Wylie, Tex., Sept. 2. Friday af-
ternoon about 2 o'clock the barn be-
loiiKing to Jett Moore, a farmer near
town, was burned together with sev-
eral tons of hay, six hogs and one
mule. The orlgn of the fire Is not
definitely known, but Is supposed to
be the result of cigarette smoking in
the lot.
The McKinney cotton market will
be the best this fall—our retail dry
Roods, grocery, hardware and im-
plement market is also unsurpassed.
Do your trading at McKinney and
be wise.
Stomach troubles. Heart and Kid-
ney ailments, can be quickly cor-
rected with a prescription known to
druggists everywhere as Dr. Slump's
Restorative. The prompt and sur-
prising relief which this remedy
immediately brings Is entirely due
to its Restortative action upon the
controlling nerves of the Stomach
etc. A weak stomach causing dyspep-
sia, a weak Heart with palpitation
i or intermittent pulse, always menas
weak Stomach nerves or weak Heart
nerves. Strengthen these inside or
controlling nerves with Dr. Shoop's
Restortative and see how quickly
these ailments disappear. Dr.
Shoop of Racine. Wis. will mail
samples free. Write for tlieni. A
test will tell. Your heart is certain-
ly worth this simple trial. Sold by-

Collin will not sow as large a
wheat crop this fall as she would if
seed were not so scarce and high.
Orson bugs have also made the far-
mer a little lear.v of too much In
wheat.
In less than a year McKinney will
have electric cars running along
some of her principal streets and
will also have a city park worthy
the name. Both are in slnht and do
not require the wisdom of a prophet
to foresee.
C. C. Bryant, who lived near M >
Kinney a number of years, came
over from Farniersville to attend
the Bailey rally and renew old ac-
quaintances. It is his first visit hera
lu two years. He has lived a mile
east of Farniersville for the past
eight years. Mr. Bryant has good
corn and a very fair cotton crop this
year. We received a most welcome
call from him and received cash for
The Weekly Democrat-Gazette.
Young man. don't conclude to
give up your books for business too
I early In life. Go to school another
year. If you do, the time will soon
be made up so far as material ac-
cumulations and advaj 't ges are eon-
,cerned.
It pays to read the advertisements
of enterprising home merchants in
the Dally Courier-Gazette and Week-

SANITARIUM
On Fobruary 11th last the Collin
County 8anitarlum was opened on
North Kentucky street at the Junc-
tion of Kentucky and Hunt atreets.
The building Is of brick and built
in modern cottage style with a view
of comfort. The result Is that the
thick walls hold back the heat
while the openings let in the fresh
•ir to the delight of the occupant of
any of the wards, elt!l< r down or up
stairs. The most striking feature
of this Institution, to the mind of the
writer, is the simplicity pervading.
For Instance each ward, or patient's
room. Is void of the usual carpeting,
except here and there a pretty clean
rug beside a white iron bed. The
object of this is apparent and with-
out doubt reasonable. Cleanliness
is the first law, hence the carpet,
the great "catch all" for dirt und
gemiB Is given the go-by and a bare
floor Is washed clean each day, to-
gether with every piece of furni-
ture, window, door and other fac-
ings of the rooms. The bedding and
linen coverings Is of the best and
are kept perfectly clean. The dining
room and adjoining culinary depart-
ment are kept In flrstclass style.
The water (hot and cold) provisions
are ample and arrunged in the best
possible manner. While this Insti-
tution is a chartered one und its of-
ficers are made up out of the twen-
ty-one stockholders, ull Collin
county physiciuns, the patient Is at
liberty when he enters to select any
reputable physician in or out of the
cirt.e of stockholders of the coun-
ty.
Everything is furnished the pa-
tient. except the drug bill, for a
stated price, the minimum of which
is 12 per day.
Since the opening the Sunitarinm
has enjoyed good patronage. The
head matron, iu charge, is Miss
Sallie Blevlns. Her assistants are
Misses Orin Griffith and Flora Al-
len. They are well trained and ren-
der excellent service.
Few people realize the most Im-
portant object of this Sanitarium. It
Is for McKinney and Collin County.
The stockholders on first organiza-
tion declared that, any reputable
physician should have access to the
institution without price and at will.
The patient is at will to make ar-
rangement with the matron iu
charge and to call the physician of
his or her choice. The stockholders
hope only to realize enough to pay
the expenses of the Sanitarium and
to elicit the co-operation of the >n-
tire citizenship of the county, to
maintain and possibly establish a
larger institution for the public
good. So many unfortunate people
need a place to enter where medical
and nursery skill can be had —
something that can not be had even
in many of the homes, and especial-
ly by the man, woman or child that
has no home. It is an enterprise in
which the humane feature predom-
inates and on that account alone
should have the hearty co-oporatlon
of all McKinney needs It. Collin
County ne"ds it, and the individual
who needs it and is within its reach
should count himself fortunate. The
matron has full charge and power to
admit patients.

Our old friend T. C. Lair, living
throe miles southwest of Celina, Is
In the city and called In to leave a
dollar on his Weekly Democrut-Ga-
sette subscription. Mr. Lair Is one
of Collin's oldest and most esteemed
citizens. His father. Dr. Lair, was
one of the county's earliest practic-
ing physicians who lived at Old
Highland, between Melissa and An-
na.

Letter to S. 1 . Coffey.
McKinney, Texas.
Dear Sir: A new word has come
Into use in paint; it is strong.
Stronx paint is paint as strong as
paint can be. Weak paint is paint
not so strong.
If one paint takes It) gallons to
do a Job and another 16, the 10 gal-
lon paint Is the stronger.
If one paint wears 11> years, and
another T>. the 10-year paint is the
stronger.
The strongest paint Is the one that
akes least gallons and wears long-
est.
But do such differences exist? Yes
and t:n atfcr. Devoe is the strongest
of all. A job that takes It) gallons
Devoe takes more than 20 of some.
And a Job of Devoe wears several
times as long as a Job of some paints
O. B. Perry. East Nth St, Erie. Pa.
painted two houses >:aiuc size; same
time; with two paints same price;
took gallons Devoe to 4 of the
other; and In three years Devoe was
the better locking job.
There are strong and weak
paints; we all want the strongest;
paint can't be too strong.
Yours truly,
40. F. W. DEVOE & CO.
