ABOUT OUR
PIANO CO TEST
Can you state definitely the
value of music in the home?
Probably it would be best to say
its value cannot be over estimat-
ed. And tliat music exerts an
everlasting influence for good
over us goes without saying. No
matter if it be the sweet lullaby
of the mother as she rocks the
infant to sleep, or in latter years
when the family has a reunion
and all gather around the old
folks and sing the old time airs,
music has a charm all its own.
This paper will place in some
home at the close of its grand vol
;ng contest, a beautiful piano of
which any expert might be real
proud. The young lady receiving
the greatest number of votes will
receive the piano without the in-
vestment of so much as a nickel.
The piano is now on display at
Anderson Furniture Co., store,
and the public is invited to ex-
amine it. That will show its fine
finish, beautiful tone and general
fine make up. It will make a
magnificent present, and easily
warrants a lot of hard work by
any and all. As to who shall
receive it depends upon the votes
just as County Judge or Sheriff
is elected. And the votes will
be finally counted and the award
made much like in a general j
election, by disinterested gentle-j
men of high standing.
Girls, all of you get busy.,
There are many other useful j
prizes iu addition to the piano. |

SPECIAL NEWS SEKViUE
Nacogdoches, Texas, Nov. 25.—
Directorr B. Youngblood, repre-
senting the state- Department of
Agriculture, has just recently
made arrangements for the new
demonstration farm which is to
be located near here. The deed
to the new farm has been depos-
ited in a local bank awaiting the
state's half of the purchase price
and upon Mr. Youngblood's ar-
rival here it was delivered to
him. He made the settlement on
behalf of the state.
Mr. Youngblood has scoured a
man to take temporary charge of
the work at the new station un-
til a regular man can be appoint-
ed. The farm is to be conducted
by both state and national gov
ernments. It has not been de
terminod as yet whom the fed
eral department will choose as
its representative. Work of erect
ing the Decessary buildings has
already begun and it will be only
a short time until the regular
experiments will be commenced.
EMBER
and v
oii v Month—put an ad in this paper
ill ve a good holiday business.
Texas today produces one-fifth
of the world's supply of cotton,
yet Texans have to purchase prac
ticaliy all of their cotton goods
from England and New England.
This is an economic error. If
not righted, it may, in the future,
develop into a financial tragedy.
Houston, Texas, Nov. 25.—The
advertising campaign that the
Frisco railroad is carrying on in
the North and East for the pur-
pose of bringing settlers to the
Gulf Coast country and to points
along the Frisco system in Texas,
is meeting with gratifying suc-
cess. Division Passenger Agent
Govan states that the arrival of
prospective homeseekers is great-
er at present than it has been for
some time and that interests in
the Gulf Coast country is increas-
ing daily.
The Frisco is trying to induce
actual settlers and not mere in-
vestors to this section and that
it is succeeding is evidenced by
tlie great number of women and
children that are noticeable in
the homeseeking parties of late.

TO DELINQUENTS
A few weeks ago we sent out
a number of statements to sub-
scribers living in other counties
and states. To date we have
received replies from some, but
not all. We have no other way
to collect these away off account*
except by mail, and if you re-
ceived a statement and have not
yet responded we ask to do so
at onee. All who do not respond
by the end of this month will be
cut off as wo cannot send the pa-
per to parties out of the county
unless they want it, and if they
want it they ought to be willing
to pay for it
We are getting in a lot of new
subscribers right here near home,
on our piano contest, who are
paying for the paper in advance,
and it is not fair to them to con
tinue sending the paper to par
ties away off who do not pay for
it. Besides, we eannot afford to
do it.
This will be the last reminder
to those who have received state-
men ts and failed to reply in
some way

CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF
PERFORMING A MIRACLE
We all thought that the days
of miracles had passed, but this
is far from true. Behold, one of
Limestone's retired farmers, now
merchant and financier was
caught on the Mexia and Teeili.ua-j
cana road, sleeves rolled up, fill-
ing mp holes and with pick tak-
ing out all rocks and removing
them from the regular roadway.
Whoever heard of such great
deeds of violence before?
Now the question is, for violat-
ing the law by working the road
without being summoned, is this
man to be punished or rewarded?
Now since it will be a hard mat-
ter to decide as to whether he
acted foolish or wisely, it might
be well to both punish and re-
ward him at the same time. But
how can this be done! Well just
send him to the Legislature and
there be rewarded by being per-
mitted to labor for tho public
good and then punish him by in-
sisting that he must take pay
for all his time spent working
for the county's welfarre.
Now whether this Gentleman
ever goes to the Legislature or
Congress or not, is quite imma-
terial, tho fact remains, that the
fine example he is setting to our
negligent public, well entitles
him to us tipping our hats to
him.
