A military squad was organiz-
ed here Saturday nijjfht with six
men. Paul Humphries, the lead-
ing spirit in it, informed us that
only fifteen men w»re wanted, as
they would be attaohsd to a com-
pany outside of Baylor county.
A fine field for promotion is open
in the military service for young
men .who are not afraid of pow -
der and lead when the show-down
oomes. It is a well established
fact that a body of men not ao-
customed to being under fire in
battle overshoot, whioh accounts
for the small losses. Veterans
draw low, making allowance for
the rise of the ball in its onward
■peed.
A NEW HARDWARE FIRM.
Chartered. Under the Laws of Texas
with a Capital Stock of $20,000..
Incorporators—Hew Building.
The W. R. Hilliard Hardware
Company has been chartered with
a oapital stock of $20,000. The
incorporators are W. R. Hilliard,
C. W. Carter and Wesley Harri-
son, all residents of Baylor coun-
ty. These gentlemen have nego-
tiated for two lots north of the
First National Bank, on whioh
will be ereoted a one-story rook
building, 45x140 feet. The front
will be ornamented with solid
plate glass, giving the exterior
an imposing and citified appear-
anoe. The business will be in-
creased to correspond with the
amount of new capital invested
in the enterprise, thereby giving
Seymour another first-olass hard
ware establishment. The firm is
composed of a trio of gentlemen
who are well known to the people
of this and surrounding oountry
as straightforward, upright busi-
ness men, who would scorn to
make a false representation in
order to effect a sale.
Work is expected to begin on
the building within the next ten
or fifteen days—weather permit-
ting—and be ready for occupan-
oy by the middle o-f April. Sey-
mour is undoubtedly moving for-
ward on the route that leads to
the ereotion of a busy, hustling
western oity. Her present ex-
pansion on the commercial line
is not like that on the advent of
the R. R.—mushroom and back-
ed by cheek—but solid and sus-
tained by ample capital to insure
its future solidity.
Has Accepted Another Position.
Morgan Jonee, jr., many years
superintendent and conductor on
the Wichita Valley railroad, with
headquarters in Seymour, haa
accepted the appointment as re-
ceiver of the Brazos Valley road,
and leaves with his wife to-mor-
row for Velasco to take charge of
the property. It is semi-official-
ly stated that Tom Smith, brake-
wrni off the Va1iey~suoceeds Mr.
Jones as conductor here, tempo-
rarily if not permanently. There
are no better railroad men in the
service than Mr. Smith, and if
made permanent, the promotion
is well earned.
THE OIL MILL.
Chartered with a Capital of Fifty Thous-
and Dollars—Work to Begin as
Soon as Mr. Self Arrives.
The oil mill enterprise is mov-
ing along without friction. The
oompany has been granted a
oharter, but we are not in pos-
session of the names of the incor-
porators. Suffioe to say they are
gentlemen impregnated with mod
ern business ideas, with plenty
oapital at their disposal to propel
the proposed plant to the high
standard they have marked out
for it. It will be equipped with
the latest maohinery and all nec-
essary labor-saving appurtenan-
ces, thereby insuring rapid and
effective work. It will give em-
ployment to about forty employ-
es, who will buy their dry goods,
groceries and all needed artioles
from the merchants of Seymour.
It is not improbable that several
of those with families will con-
clude to locate here permanently
and erect dwellings, thereby ad-
ding additional wealth to the oity.
The capacity of the mill will be
forty tons every twenty-four
hours, or twenty tons a day. Ao-
cording to the plans and specifi-
cations the main building is to be
two-stories high, built of rook or
brick, with a bciler room 30x36
feet; engine room, 20x16; press
room, 40x46; meal and cake room,
36x60} and a linter and separator
room combined, ^6x60, will con-
stitute the second story over the
engine and press room. In addi-
tion to these an office room, seed
house, hull house and other build -
ngs essential in operating the
plant will also be erected.
The company is organized with
a capital stock of $50,000.
As soon as Mr. Self arrives,
who is at the head of the compa-
ny, work on the buildings will
commence and everything placed
in shape to handle the fall busi-
ness.

A Letter to Foster & Rupe.
Seymour, Texas.
Dear Sirs: It costs as much to
put on poor paint as good—a
common saying and true—it costs
much mors to put on poor paint;
more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes
or paint and sand or paint and
lime.or paint and chalk or paint
and benzine or paint and water;
these are the usual oheats; there
are others.
It takes more gallons of paint,
and-a-oheat than of honest paint,
and the oost of the labor of
painting is so much a gallon—
one gallon costs as muoh as an-
other, for labor.
This is the way to reokon your
oosts for this year; but how about
next year?
Paint Devoe, and next year
oosts nothing; year after next the
same; the same for several years.
Paint anything else, and your
costs recur according to what
you paint with. Soma of the mix-
tures wear one year; some two;
some three.
It oosts twice, three times, four
times, five times, as much to
paint with a oheat as to paint
with Devoe.
Yours truly «
P. W. Devoe <k Co.

Wooldridge <fc Son sell our paint.

business no matter where looa-
