ItliLD A DORMITORY.
A well patronized boarding school
is a material advantage to the hus-
1 tH'KK inter est* of any town. Mc-
Kinney has the school—the Jones
Academ>. but It is handirupped by
lack of a dormitory for glrlB, with
an experienced matron in charge.
Why not build a substantial brick
dormitory. Prof, Junes, and begin

Alderman Hob Carpenter, head of
tin- McKinney Commercial club. Is
the light man in the right place.
No man Is possessed of more public
spirit nor enterprise. Nothing is
too good for McKinney in his eyes.
Hob Carpenter is not one of those
who says to his fellow citizens "Go
ahead boys." His motto is "Come
on boys" and leads them in the cru-
sade for baiter sidewalks, bettor
roads, more enterprises and a wider
trade territory.
The man who stands on the street.

town, the country and the weather is

little use to his family, his country

found at the cross road store, th<-

Is mighty disagreeable.

require any forfeit from circuses |
that they will not Injure our streets j

are so soft, that they cannot be In- '

Tom W. Perkins of the McKinney
Courier-Gazette and Col. A A. Webb
of the Paris Advocate seem to have
had a "fullln' out." Newspaper
men should never air their i>ersonnl
differences in public. The public is
not interested In them. Who cares
whether they drink "Dripping

er" or something softer, Ladonln

You never were ho mistaken in all j
your life, Bro. Bell. The writer and \
Col. Webb have had no "fallin' out." j
Col. Webb has just said we were one !
thing, and we well know we are I
not that's all. Col. Webb is one
of Texas' itest newspaper men, as
brave as a Hon, yet tame as a lamb.
We love him. To prove our love and
devotion for him and his welfare,
we have been trying to reform him,
hence you thought we have had a

like A. A. Webb because we know
his worth and ability as a newspaper

Letter to Allen X Son.
McKinney, Texas.
Dear Sirs: Two men on opposite
sides of the same street sell sau-
sages. one at 10c It), the other at S.
Which sells the more sausages, think
you ?
The answer 1r: It depends on the
street. There are plenty of streets
in the world where fie sausages «o
tike the wind.
Devoe is an honest paint: there
are eight honest paints, 2*>o adulter-
ated and short-measure; Devoe is
the best of the eight. Devoe has
more strength than the other seven.
The painter adds generally a quart
of oil to Devoe; he still has a strong-
er paint than any other one of the
seven.
The seven «r«> sold at one price
$ 1.7T a gallon, a common price of
second-rate paint Is $l.f>(). it takes
N gallons Devoe to paint a sm..ll
house, and 12 of average paint; 8
gallons cost less than 12: the price
Is more thnn offset by less gallons.
It costs $2 to (4 a day to get patut.
on; a day Is a gallon: $X to $1(1 less
for painting the tess-gattonS paint.
The difference in first cost of the
two jobs is $14 to $22 and which
wears best do you think? It's the
less-gal Ions paint because of its
strength.
There are plenty of people who
buy these Be sausages. Yours truly,
