Out
sowing is now the order of
th<> day. Mat tier earth never in
^ **r condition to receive the seed,
ntfir ttvp weather more favorable for
the prSgreB* of the work. However,
owing to the high prices of seed
oats now prevailing and the nnnsuai
scarcity, we fear the acreage sown
will not be nearly so large as it
should be. Our oat crop maturing so
much earlier here than in more
northern latliudes, and coming on
the market at a season when all
feeds are scarce and high priced, will
guarantee a ready market at re-
munerative prices for all that is
produced.
Jim Cunningham, tip top farmer
and fancy chicken dealer, residing
on the oid homestead near Walnut
Grove, was a business visitor here
Friday.
J. E. and E. F. Cherry, fine farm-
ers anili good citizens from just
across file Denton county line, were
hero Snturday.
J. E. Nance, living northwest of
town, has been confined to his bed
for the past several days with an at-
tack of rheumatism.
W. E.. Potts, the genial, jovial
miller, returned last evening from
San Marcial, N. M., where he has
a position In a large llouring mill.
He was still lame from the effects
of a badly mashed foot, the result of
an accident sustained several months
ag . Notwithstanding his infirmi-
ties he was cheerful, full of optim-
ism and' inclined to see only the
bright nlde of the picture of life.
lJlg hearted, Jolly J. P. Turner of
McKinney, route 1, was here a few
days ago, to receive a car load of
shelled corn. Something mighty
wrong with old Jupiter Pluvius,
when such successful farmers as J.
P. Turner nre found guilty of buying
corn in a gunny sack. Pel he never
was charged with a similar offense
before.
Otto Crockett, cashier of The
Continental Slate Bank at Hunter,
came In Saturday evening and
spent I he night with his parents,
Mr. and $rs. It. E. Crockett, east of
the city.
I Miss Sophia Mathers returned to
J Dallas last Wednesday where she
I goes to resume her position as
teacher In St. Mary's College.
Mrs. P. M. Shipley, residing out
on route 1, visited her sister, Mrs.
R. A. Gregory, one day recently.
Among the Prosper visitors to Ce-
lina to hear the good roads discus-
sion on last Thursday, we noted J.
T. Edwards, w. M. Thorp. J. D.
Crank, Mr. Klrby and M. E. Echols,
the latter driving the auto.
Arthur Wilson and Joe Rodgers
of Navo, Denton county, were trad-
ing with our merchants Snturday.
The merchants here receive splendid
trade from that section of county
and only regret, that our roads lead-
ing in that direction are not kept in
better condition for travel.
Sunday was an ideal day and
quite a crowd listened to an able
sermon at Presbyterian church, at
the close of which sacramental ser-
vice was held.
Sunday school at M. E. church
was well attended and much inter-
est manifested, owing to the fact
that it was Bro. Bludworth's day at
another church, no service was held.
Mrs. S. H. Breecheen, accompa-
nied by her daughter, Mrs. Tom
Field, spent Saturday evening with
Mrs. J. W. Heath.
Bro. J. T. Bind worth. Jesse Fields
and M. E. Echols paid Dallas a busi-
ness visit on Saturday, going down
in the latter's auto.
John Shrader and Ervin Combest
visited the capital Saturday.
The Frisco R. R. has unloaded
sceveral cars of sand here for the
further Improvement of their track
in this vicinity.
Rev. Jere Martin was suddenly
taken very ill Saturday night. Dr.
Mathers was hastily summoned to
his bedside. We .are glad to learn he
is much improved at this writing.
W. E. Potts was a business visit-
or to Sherman Monday.
One day Inst week while Deputy
SherilT M. E. Echols and a party of
friends were hunting in the vicinity
of Aubrey, and while walking along
the bank of a stream, the earth sud-
denly gave way beneath him, pre-
cipitating him to the bottom below,
a distance of about 12 feet. He was
considerably bruised and otherwise
Injured, being confined to his bed
for several days. He is able to be
out again, but only partially recov-
ered from the effects of the fall.
Amos Hays, a former business
man of this place is now In the em-
ploy of the Northern Texas Traction
Co. In the capacity of conductor,
running out of Sherman on the inter-
urban. We predict he will make
good.
We learn with regret the result of
the gfiod roads election at Cellnn.
However, we presume they will not
accept their defeat as final and will
make another efTort along this line
at no distant dny, realizing that no
question is ever settled—until It Is
settled right.
We are informed that Mr. and
Mrs. Potts, who have conducted a
popular hotel here for the past three
years, are to dispose of their house-
hold goods at once, preparatory to
moving to Henderson county to
make their home.
J. It. Huys of near Rhea's Mill,
and until recently a retail grocer at
tit is place, was a business visitor here
Thursday.
Wheat in this section is recover-
ing somewhat from the effects of the
severe late freezing and with a good
rain in the near future, bids fair to
yield an abundance of the golden
grain.

county. The Association now has
1.320 members and Is carrying $1.-
540,000 insurance. Every cent of
