When death is near, and I at last
am facing the mystery which chills
the heart of men, will memories of
all my money chasing bring to my
soul a gentle peace again? Will
mortgage# and stocks and bonds
and leases dispel the gloom that
daunts my dying eyes? Will banjt
boohs help, or tench me what true
peace Ib, or light the waters, where
death's river sighs? Will comfort,
come from him who yearly pays nie
the Interest on bonds or farms or
ores? Will money bribe Ihe oars-
man who conveys nie o'er sobbing
waves to undiscovered shores?
When death is near, and I must go
a-salling from scenes I love, across
uncharted seas, and friends stand
near, some cheering and some wall-
ing, some saying to me, "Now, look
pleasant, please " my heart will
find no comfort in my riches, but In
the thought that every now and
then I've helped some fallen pil-
grims from the ditches, and that I
always loved my fellowtnen.

The man who owns a good home
and a few acres of Collin county
dirt i« hs independent as a "robin
In a cherry tree." If he isn't it Is
his own fault and does not need the
sympathy of anyone.
The State of Texas has filed suits
for amounts aggregating $305,000
against the Houston, Harrisburg &
San Antonio and> M. K. & T. rail
ways in Texas, for violations of the
thlrty-mlnute-schedule law. The
State now has suits of this kind
pending against very nearly every
big line which muke up and for-
ward trains from and to points in
the Slate. This law only applies,
however to roads which make up and
forward trains from and to points
In the State. It does not apply to
trains which are made up in other
stutes and come across the line be-
hind schedule time.
ANTI-KUTURES LAW.
Suppose Collin county makes a«
much as 50,000 bales of cotton this
year, and the farmer gets I cents
a pound for it. That, on top of the
tine grain and forage crop would
put the old county on easy street,
wouldn't it?
August 2N, 3H and tt(( those are
three days which every man, woman
and child in Collin countv should
remember. Those are the days on
which our big three days Old Set-
tlers and ex-Confederates reunion
will he held. Have you written to
any of your friends to come and be
with us oil those dates'.' If not.
write today.
Get ready, fellows, t<> eat your
plate of crow which is cerlnin to i e
lilshed up to you about ii"\t Sunday
morning. It might not 'be a nig
dish, but we feel gate in predicting
that there will be but few who are
taking any great amount ol interest
in the presell', state and county cam
paign but will have a small portion
of crow dished up for him when the
votes are all In. We can't all of os
win on all our favorites.
The passage, by the house, of the
ileal 1 bill prohibiting the gambling
in cotton future®,. Is one of the big
triumphs of the session of congress.
Its fate in the senate is not forecast
iu sources of high authority, but
there is thought to be good prospect
for its final enactment into law. The
measure prohibits the buying and
selling of cotton not In existence,
and it places restrictions on tele
graph companies, the mail and other
communicating agenlces. It would
mean the entire abolition of cotton
speculation In futures, and the de-
struction of the big exchangee. The
light against it has been principally
on the plea that dealers In cotton
need Ihe future markets in order to
"hedge" and that without this pro-
tection, they could not conduct their
business. That legitimate dealers
do use the exchanges in their opera-
lions is no doubt (rue, yet for every
deal thus "legitimately" made, there
are probably thousands which are
gambling speculations pure and sim-
ple. If the exchanges are abolished',
the country will manage to worry
along somehow, and the cotton will
find its way to the spinners.—Tem-
ple Telegram.
There are all kinds of campaign
liars in the country just at this time,
and it behooves every fair-minded
voter to be on his guard and not
listen to everything he hears. in-
vestigate all reports, no matter from
what source, and make your choice
from an unbiased standpoint.

Last night at X o'clock, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Lane on
Maple avenne, their daughter, (Ma-
rian, was married to Thomas Wlll-
lngham Newsome, Rev, New Harris,
pastor of the Trinity Methodist
church, performing the ring cere-
mony.
The entire home was artistically
decorated with the cool, tropical
plants and vines. The banisters of
the steps down which the bridal par
ty came were entwined with smllax
and ferns, with cluster of paims on
each side,- at the-bottom of the steps.
Miss Elsie Hay played Lohengrin's
march. The bride came In on the
arm of her father, preceded by lit-
tle Miss Alice Maxwell and Master
Thomas Wooten, niece and nephew
of the bride and groom, carrying
the ends of white ribbons, and so
forming an aisle for the bridal par-
ty.
Mrs. J. Orren Newbury, sister of
the bride, and Mrs. Goodall Wooten,
sister of the groom, were the ma-
trons of hbnor, while Miss Willie
Newbury acted as maid of honor
and Alvin H. Lane as best man.
Misses Reita Tuttle and Helen
Thompson assisted the bridal party.
The bride and groom stood In
the parlor before a bank of palms
and ferns, Inserted In either side of
which were two big California bas-
ket vases filled with tall, white lil-
ies and roses, while overhead was a
canopy of the sheerest ferns and
vines.
The bride wore real Chantllly lace,
draped over white satin, caught up
with seed pearls and orange blos-
soms. Her veil was wreathed, with
the same blossoms, falling almost to
the hem of the rose petal train. In
her arms she carried a shower bou-
<iuet of lilies of the v/illey, orchids
and roses, while around her neck
was the gift of the groom, a diamond
and pearl platinum La ValRere. Mrs.
Wooten wore a gown of Princess
lace, hung over white satin, and
Mrs. Newbury was gowned in French
lace, draped over satin, caught up
with bowknots of lilies of the val-
ley. Both had arm clusters of Fast-
er lilids. Miss Newbury wore a
white lace frock over pink roses.
After the ceremony a reception
was given for the bridal party. In
the library, which was decorated as
the rest, of the home, Miss Marguer-
ite Wills presided over the punch
bowl, all but hidden in a bed of
white asters and ferns. In the din-
ing room the guests assembled for
the cutting of the bride's cake, Miss
Lucy Wooten presiding. Streamers
of smllax studded with white asters
fell from the chandelier to the ta-
ble, while a row of the same flowerB
surrounded the cake In the middle
of the table. Miss Jane Robinson
was keeper of the bride's book, In
which were put many interesting
sayings.
Later Mr. and Mrs. Newsome left
for a trip to Salt Lake, San Fran-
cisco, Portland, Yellowstone Park
and Denver. They will be at homo
at the Park Hotel after Oct. 1. The
bride wore a pretty traveling suit of
blue serge, trimmed in a ratiney
braid.
The groom is the son of Mr. arid
Mrs; W. B. Newsome of this city,
and the grandson of the late 1. D.
Newsome. a pioneer Collin county
citizen. He Is a splendid type of
young American manhood, intellect-
ually, physically and morally capa-
ble Of building for himself and
charming bride a brilliant, happy and
successful future. The editors hope
that his fondest, hopes may be fully
realized. The following McKinney
people went down Wednesday after-
noon and were guests at the Lane
home for the ceremony: .T. Perry
Burrus and wife; J. L. Lovejoy and
wife: T. F. Everltt and wife; Mrs.
W. T. Beverly, Howell E. Smith and
wife, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Newsome and
sons, I. D. and Fitzhugh, Dr. M. S.
Metz and wife, and parents of the
groom, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. New-
some. Accompanying the McKinney
party were also Mr. and Mrs. Will
Daugherty and son, Newsome, of
