If you could tuy $20.00 bills for a copper
cent the opportunity would mean nothing to you
if you didn't have the GENT. Having the ready
cash and the judgment to use it at the opportune
time |s the sure road to wealth. But remember
that it takes both the judgment and the cash to
make a winning team. Judgment without cash is
helpless. Gash without judgment is soon scatter-
ed. Start a bank account. Begin to lay aside the
important thing, GASH. As you accumulate it
judgment will come with it Then when oppor-
tunity knocks you are safe in opening the door.
We invite you to open an account with us today.

"A Scared Bunch."
Port Worthy July 15, 1912.
To the Democratic voters of this,
Dallas county:
In a letter just received from
^Austin, I am informed that the
^entire force of clerks in the Land
Commissioners' office are writ-
ing letters and visiting the dif-
• ferent sections of the state in a
frantic effort to re-elect Robison
for a Third Term.
Since Hon. Forrest Gaither,
of Palls county, withdrew from
the race and requested his
friends and supporters to vote
for my father, Col. Charley
Geers, of Ft. Worth, the "bunch"
have not lost a minute, but have
certainly been "some busy."
ThiihJetter just received from
Austii/I says, "believe me, the
bunch^Ai the Land office are all
v^orjeed up since Gaither with-
^jyptrew and threw his strength to
father. They realize that
with only the Colonel in the race,
and Robison out for a third-term,
#they have more on their hands
than they bargained for a mohth
•" ««o. It is even money here in
Austin that Col. Charley Geers
i# the next Land Commissioner.
Send me some more circulars."
I appeal to my friends and all
good democrats in Dallas county
who oppose the third term sys-
tem, to join us and help down
this combination. We have them
on the run, and with a little help
in Dallas county and this section,
we will put them out of business.
Being a newspaper man my-
self,,! appeal to the people of
Dallas county through the press,
knowing that this is the way to
reach the farmer and laborer
alike. My father is a life-long
democrat, and ex-Confederate of
Morgan's command. Chairman
of the Denton County Democratic
Executive Committee 12 years;
delegate to Baltimore National
Convention, editor of the Denton
Monitor for thirty years, honest
competent and deserving. Will
you help him? (Confidentially,
boys, I thinks he is the grandest
old gentleman in the world).
Very Respectfully,
Will, C. Geers.
North Texas Gin
The North Texas Gin Co.'s
plant at this place is this week
undergoing numerous repairs
with a view of starting up when
the ginning season opens. J. W.
Carter, traveling representative
of the company, was also here
yesterday to look after the work.
He informs us that a new boiler
will be installed and the plant
put in good condition. This gin
has not been operated for sever-
al years, but the present outlook
for cotton has caused the com-
pany to look after interests here.

GOV. COLQUITT
IN CARROLLTON
State's Chief Executive Speaks in
Interest of His Candidacy
For Second Term.
Governor O. B. Colquitt, ac-
companied by Mike T. Lively,
chairman of the Colquitt organ-
ization in Dallas county, and
Deputy State Game Warden Jeff
D. Cox, arrived in Carrollton at
7:30 Wednesday afternoon and
the governor addressed a large
audience that night. The party
came from Richardson by auto-
mobile and the state's chief ex-
ecutive had made speeches at
Mesquite, Garland and Buckner
Orphans Home during the day.
For the occasion the citizens
had prepared a special platform
and seats for some 500 people,
the speaker's stand being carpet-
ed and decorated with pot plants
and flowers.
Before the speaking the gover-
nor and party were guests at an
informal dinner at the Elite Cafe.
The menu was an elaborate one,
including fried chicken. The
dinner was given by C. A. Smith.
W. E. Wisdom, C. E. Jackson, T.
S. Robertson,/F. J. McLean, J.
T. Ogden and Jno. T. Risien.
The governor's speech was
well received and had the closest
of attention from his hearers,
ft was full of good, well-guarded
English, being almost voitfNrf
some of the girls care for snrall
children, sew, wait on tables.
How do their fellow students
look on them? One young man
who, during his senior year
milked tfen cows night and morn-
ing in alocal dairy, says of his ex-
perience: "I cultivated the so-
ciety and friendship of my col-
lege mates of both sexes. Ex-
cepting the demand on my time
there was no social disadvantage
because of my work. The
democracy of the University is
of such a rugged and pronounced
type that the fact that a boy is
working his way through school
operates for rather than against
him in a social way."
After serving several tables at
the Woman's Building for three
years of her University couVse,
a young woman says: "The girls,
with but few exceptions, showed
the four of us thus employed,
every consideration. In fact, we
gained a popularity all out of
proportion to what we deserved.
The work was tiring, and some-
times terribly monotonous, but
was excellent training for my
present work with girls and
young women."
Still another ^odd-job man
writes: "I am glad to say that
the school was essentially demo-
cratic. A man was taken on his
merits and not on his blue blood
or bullion. I belonged to a
fraternity and took active part
in a literary society, besides at
one time editing the 'Magazine'
and serving on 'Cactus' board."
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW
People insist On knowing* a&out what tliey eat
and drink, but they can't find out much about the medi-
cine they take. When the manufacturers won't tell what
is in it—and they generally won't—no one else knows.
You have a right to kuow exactly what you are
taking. And 3 ou can when you use Nayl's Family Reme-
dies. For we have always been willing and anxious for
the people who use Nayl's to know all about them. We
have nothing to conceal. We know the formulas are
scientific and correct—that the quality is highest—that
everything is right.
Of course it is always well to consult your physician.
But for the less serious ailments that you feel hardly
require the personal attention of the family doctor you
will do well to get the opinion of the Nyal druggist.
We will recommend only what our experience and knowl*
edge suggests.
But—insist on knowing what is in the medicine you
take.

Mrs. M. M. Huff ins
The many friends and ac-
quintances of the family and the
town and country in general
were severely shocked and griev-
ed late Saturday evening when
it was learned that Mrs. Mattie
Matilda Huggins, wife of the late
John H. Huggins, died suddenly
of heart failure at the family
homestead, north of Carrollton,
at 7 o'clock. For sometime Mrs.
Huggins has been feeble, but
able to get around slowly. She
complained of being extra tired
late Saturday and told the home
folks she was going to lay down
for a rest. Shortly afterward
she breathed her last.
Funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at
Union Baptist church, of which
denomination she was a pioneer
member, services being conduct-
ed by Rev. Bramlett of Alpha.
Burial took place at Perry
(Union) cemetery and a long
procession of friends followed
the remains to their last resting
place.
Mrs. Mattie Matilda Huggins
was born in Green county,
Illinois, Aug. 1841, and came
to Texas, together with her
parents, in 1885, and located one
mile north of Carrollton, on which
place she resided until her. death.
On January 28, 1872, she was
united in marriage with John H.
Huggins, who proceeded her in
death January 28,*1909. To this
union there were born six child-
ren, 'four boys and two girls,
which three sons survive,
namely: James E. Huggins,
John D. Huggins and Ollie J.
Huggins, all of Carrollton. Out
of eleven children, one sister
survives the deceased—Mrs. W.
M. Huskey, who resides near
Hebrpn.
Mrs. Hugarins joined the
Methodist church early in life.
Later she joined the Missionary
Baptist church with her husband
and was a member of Union
Baptist church at the time of her
death.
After a long, busy and useful
life she died as she had lived—
honored, trusted, loved. She
reared her own monument while
she lived in the hearts of all who
knew her. Her life was com-
pleted if work all dope and well
done constitutes completion.
Her Christian life was beautiful
from its beginning to its close
and through all the vicissitudes
and sorrows that she has met in
the way, her faith in God never
wavered. But she has left us
and today the bright sunlight
falls upon another grave that
hides from our sight all that is
mortal of a true and noble
woman.
To the surviving bo.ys of this
dear old mother in Israel, the
Chronicle joins the entire com-

Baptist tabernacle came to a

What Makes a Woman?
One hundred and twenty pounds,
more or less, .of bone and muscle
't make a woman. Its a good
dation. Put into it health
and \ strength and she may
rule a kingdom. But that's just
what Electric Bitters give her.
Thousands bless them for over-
coming fainting and dizzy spells
and for dispelling weakness,
nervousness, backache and tired,
listless, wornout feeling. "Elec

with all my heart, for making

But we know that years hence
the memory of her unselfish de-
votion will make them better
men and "her precepts be their
guiding star.' May her ashes
rest in peace.
Card «f Thanks. ,
We take this method of ex-
pressing our sincere thanks to
our kind and loving neighbors
and friends for their sympathy
and kindness rendered to our
darling mother at her death.
May God bless you, each and
every one, is our prayer. Res-
