Taking the idea from the Tyler
Courier, which lias been for some
time hammering at the farmers of
Smith county in a laudable effort
to induce them to plant wheat, we
have given the matter some atten-
tion and we find that within the
boundaries of Wood county there
is enough wheat producing land of
a superior quality to grow the flour
supply for three such counties.
Flour is now worth from S3.50 to 30.

We are glad to report that Mrs.
S. R. Bruce, who has been danger-
ously ill for a day or two, is improv-
ing.
$3.75 per hundred pounds, and is
by no means the smallest item of a
family's annual expense. If it is
true that a dollar saved is a dollar
made, planting wheat will be a
profitable investment for the Wood
MhooUNer5 I county farmer. But the farmer
j says that there are no mills in the
Worrell! county to make it into flour. We1
1 agree that at present there are no j 7
mills in the county prepared to
make the finest quality of flour,
but the mills would be speedily pre-
pared if they could get the wheat.
In the first settling of the country
this same obstacle confronted the
cotton planter, but in due time the
gin followed and it will be so with
the flour mill.
We invite discussion on this
question from those who have had
experience in wheat planting in
Wood county and elsewhere and
hope some of our enterprising citi-
zens will send communications for
publication in the next issue of the
Monitor.

If the people of Wood county
will plant wheat the merchants of
Mineola will gladly order seed and
assist them in any manner possi-
ble. Think about this matter and
discuss it in your grange and alli-
ance meetings.
The performance of the Irene
Worrell Company at the Caspary
opera house on Thursday night
was excellent, in fact the event of
the amusement season. Irene
Worrell, as Patty, and Fred H.
Wheeler, as Tony Gildershanks, in
"For anothers crime," kept the
house in an uproar of laughter.
Mess. W. L. Buchanan and W. J.
Holton, as Elliot Granville and
Gideon Gascoyne, requited them-
selves with telling effect. To-
night (Saturday) the company will
play "Little Ferret," the splendid
American Comedy written for Jno.

Mineola.

Lon Blasingame is the champion
saloon man—his two saloons, one
on Johnson street and the other
fronting the depot, arc always con-
ducted in a quiet and orderly man-
ner by polite and courteous bar
tenders. 6:1m
Some malicious person has circu-
lated the report that Mineola mer-
chants would not sell Union Labor
men on a credit in future. The
merchants of Mineola are business
men and not politicians and they
have never yet graded a customers
v credit by his politics. There arc
; numbers of Union Labor men in
Wood county who have always had
unlimited credit in Mineola. No
Union Labor man who had any
credit has lost it on account of his
politics
R. S. Brock's "Palace" saloon is
finished in elegant style, and is re-
ceiving a splendid patronage. 6:4t
