In 1845 a train of eighteen wag-
ons crossed Red Riv^r and cut its
way through forvsts and over
streams in a wild country marked
onlyJbyafew trails. This train
was under command of Mr J B
Wilmeth, father of our honora-
ble pioneer citizen, M W Wil-
melh, who lives'five miles west
of McKinney, Texan, and who en-
joys the friendship of all old set-
tlers in Collia county.
This train found itself on the
bank of East Fork of Trinity,
near the present city of Rockwall,
Texas, and, after bridging this
stream, passed on to Dal'as, and
found one small store near the
site of the bridge, which spans
the Trinity river close to the Dal-
las county court house.
In crossing the river by swim-
ming teams, and passing families
in a small boat, a favorite watch
dog was killed in the water by an
alligator.
The westward course found a
halt at or near thtf site of Fort
Worth, where these hardy pio-
neers remnined a tear, subsisting
on wild meats without salt. The

It is rumored that the name of

tional convention by Hon Bourke
Cochran of New York and sec-
onded by Hon W J Bryan. If
thing takes place we pre
there will be rousing
convention. '
bread famine drove these settlers
back to a settlement known as
Buckner, near the present resi-
dence of Mr Wilmeth.
The only store in Buckner was
moved to the site of the Foote
House block in McKinney by M
W Wilmeth and James Reed, who
afterwards was sheriff of Collin
county. This wus McKinney's
first MLore, owned by Mr Alexan-
der of Bonham, Texas, and man-
aged by George Barnett. Twelve
yoke of oxen were used in mov-
ing this building.
Mr Wilmeth hauled the' logs to
build the first house in McKin-
nev, which was built by Mr Sam
McReynolds, near the site of the
First Baptist church This val-
iant pioneer also broke the first
[aniens in McKinney, for Dr
foote, ID Newsorae and John
Faires.
The Srst brick laid in McKin-
ney was hauled bv Mr Wilmeth
from Dallas, and used by Mr Abe
Rhine in building a store bouse
on the site now used by the Collin
County National Bank.
With seven voke of oxen and a
22-inch plow, Mr Wilmeth broke
the first 1,000 acres of prairie, by
one man, in Collin county. Two
hundred acres were broken for
Frank Dowel I, and 100 acres tor
Dr Foote on the present Beecher
Cameron place. Camping water
was used from the old Spanish
spring, a few rods west of the
Good Graves residence. In
breaking prairie Mr Wilmeth of-
ten used eight yoke of oxen, and
dropped corn for a crop, doing
the work of three men at one
time.
The honor of planting the first
budded fruit orchard in Collin
county is accorded to Mr Oliver
Bush on Rowlett Creek, but Mr
W M Wilmeth established the
first nursery in this county. Some
of his . peach trees budded 35
years ago are still bearing fruit.
He wns the pioneer gardener, or-
chard ist, farmer and all around
diversificationist in the county.
He is honored and respected
for his sterling qualities, his en-
ergy, generosity, and for his pro-
found sense of humor and his
fealty to friends.
His father, Mr J B Wilmeth,
was honored by official position,
and in many other ways. His
brother, Mr H F Wilmeth, is a
model citizen of this eouety*, and
his brother, Rev Jas Wilmeth, is
a most worthy citizen of Mills
county, Texas. Other members
of this family are ornaments to
society. This county was fortu-
nate in having these grand
pioneers.

AN UNLOADED QUN.
Boy of Five Kills Little Brother
With Pistol Thought Unloaded.
Oklahoma City, Ok., June 18.
During the absence of his par-
ents, the 5-year-old son of J C
Rudkin took a revolver from a
drawer. He pressed the barrel
against the xtomach of Ray, his
2-year-old brother, and pulled the
trigger. Death resulted a tew
hours later. The father states
that he aid not know the revolver
was loaded.

as the best remedy they can use for
their teething children. -'TEETH-
INA " Aids Digestion. Regulates the
Bowels, Overcomes and 'Counteracts
the Effects of the .Summer's Heat and
makeu teething easy.
By Col. Scott.
The article in last week's Demo
crat entitled "Timely Warning,"
was contributed by Col T M Scott
of Belmont Farm near Melissa.
Indeed it was a timely warning to
those who kill or mam the birds.
The birds are the best friends to
the farmers of Collin county, so
let's protect them.
A TRUE BOWEL
CLEANSER.
A Remedy That Purifies the Bowels
Mildly, Strengthens the Bowel
Channels and Promotes
Regularity.
A General System Tonic.
By no means the least of the valuable
properties of Prickly Ash Bitters is its
admirable effect in the bowels. Any
active cathartic will empty the bowels,
but it takes more than a mere cathartic
to cure them. What is needed is a tonic,
a restorative; one that will strengthen
the bowel channels and prevent the re-
turn of constipated conditions. Prickly
Ash Bitters contains these desirable
qualities to a remarkable degree. It is
a mild laxative that moves the bowels
comfortably, the drastic bowel drenching
and paralysing effect of strong cathartics
being noticeably absent. It not only
empties the bowels comfortably, but it
regulates the bile—the liquid which
moistens the inner lining of the bowels
and makes it possible for the wr*le
products of the body to pase through,
and finally, it relieves those conditions
produced by imperfect digestion which
fills the stomach and bowels with gas
and fermenting matter. Prickly Ash
Bitters is in short a handy household
medicine and should be kept in every
home. There are constantly occuring
in every family little ailments which are
easily checked if given attention but
which prove serious if neglected and it
is in correcting these troubles that
Prickly Ash Bitters has established its
claim to be a "family medicine." It
relieves women of sick headache, sour
stomach, disziness and promotes regu-
larity in the monthly periods. Children
with worms, those who are sickly, rest-
less and irritable, who eat too much
candy or sweet stuff, who complain o!
colic or disturbance in the bowels, will
immediately improve and grow strong,
rosy and cheerful under its cleansing
and invigorating influence.
Inf st si sMitit*. Insist en hartsg
fejrr&'asxraa;
Don't let your fruit and vege-
tables spoil. Have fruits the
year round and save dootor's bills,
for un abundance of perfectly
reserved fruits means perfect
ealth. Fruit that ripens on the
tree or vine is sweet and more
healthful than fruit that comes
from large canneries, since the
large canneries purchase the fruit
green in order that it may reach
their cannery before it decays.
Csn your goods in tin csns so
that cold or beat will not hurt
them. A problem: With this
Canner one serson puts up 150
cans in one day. Sold at 15 cents
per can equals $22.50. Don't
count the fruit, for it will spoil
if you do not can it, and you have
your machine paid for and $12 50
profit. This is a fact and can be
substantiated.
You can easily sell all the fruit
and vegetables you have, to hotels
and groceries, if you have them
in tin cans neatly labeled.
These canners have been used
in the East for four years.
I have made special arrange-
ments by which I can sell for in-
troduction a $11.00 outfit for
$10.00. Address, «

1 have been using the Rialto
Canner for two years. Can have
corn, fruit*, vegetables and ber-
ries HH5 dayn in the year. Don't
see liotv we could get along with-
out the Canner.—Mrs V C Davis,
Price Mills, N C.
The North Wilkesboro Hustler
says that one firm in that place,
Smook Sons & Co., last week
made a shipment of four carloads
of canned blackberries to a house
iu St Louis, Mo. They were val-
ued at $5,000. The same firm
has five car loads of other goods
which will be shipped inter.
They were all put iu the Rialto
Canning Outfit invented by Mr T
H Runev, of this place.—Chapel
Hill News, Chapel Hill, N C.
I bought a Rialto Canning Out-
lit last year, canned over 1,000
cans and did not lose one. 1 can-
ned a good deal for my neighbors
and they were delighted with the
work. It is the best thing I
know of.—R G Nance, Long's
store, N C.
The dining table is incomplete
without nice canned goods, and
the Rialto Canner with a little as-
sistance will place on the table
365 days in the year the very best.
—J J Moody, Monroe, N C.
The Rialto Canning Outfit is
just the thing that should be in
every family. It simply saves
the fruit and vegetation that
would otherwise be wasted.—J B
Ashcraft, Rock Rest, N C.
Mr J W Davis, Prosperity,
Moore county, writes: "I bought
one of your Rialto Canning out-
fits last season and got no fruit
except berries an tomatoes. Put
up 300 cans for home use. and
we are eating them this winter,
and I have never tasted better
canned goods. It will do all you
claim for it.''
"I have been using the goods
on our table this season, put up
on your Rialto Canner, and they
cannot be excelled. They are
about as fresh as when gathered."
—Mrs Alice Hunter, Matron Uni
versity N C Commons Hall.
The Rialto Canning outfit
bought las Summer has proven to
be all you claim for it, «and I
would't be without it for a good
deM. I pot up sbout 300 cans
with the best success.—A J p
Cross, Holly Springs, N C.
We absolutely guarantee
satisfaction or your money
be promptly refunded.
Any young man desiring
education can, with very little
help, put up enough canned
goods (luring summer vacation to
send himself to any school in the
land and pay for tuition, board,
clothes, and boons by using one
of these little machinos.
The machine is placed on your
cook-stove, or with a little work
you can build a furnace in the or-
chard, garden or cornfield. You
can everything fresh trom the
