Our busine. men are adopting
the cash system, and if they only
adhere to it . trictly in the future

gotten into the habit of buying
things that they could well afford
to do without just because it can
be bought on t me, when perhaps
it will result in a great incoliven
ietice to pay when the merchants
demand the money. We know
from a little experience of our
own.

It i- very probable that we will
have a new-paper established here
in a month or two, we think it will
be a jrreat benefit to our town and
county. We have never had any
advertising and judging by the
irrowth of other places that have
had a paper to blow their home
we think a little tooting of ours
will brinjr the clan- down upon us,
to the delight of our real estate
men and merchants.
Itev Mr. Fulton returned from
his holiday vacation and opened
his school Tuesday with about 10
scholars, the attendance, however,
will soon be much larger.
We received an invitation to at-
tend the Leap Year ball in your

Were ^lad to learn that it was a
great success but what is not that
the lovely fair pre.side over?
Mr. A. 11 Corrigan, a young
lawyer, has permanently located
with us.
Mr. A. C. Foster, who was for-
merly in partnership with Mr.
Pool at this place, was over from
Haskell to see Us this week. He
has located there for the practice
of law. Mr. W. M. McOreary was
:.lso over to see us.
We are told that Mr. J. M. (iolT
awakened the household the other
iiitfht by shouting "All aboard for
Wichita Falls." He had evidently
heard the railroad news and was
dretiming of a position as conduct-
or, or that he hail traded h stage
line off for a railroad.
