FINE PAVING BLOCKS.
Creoscsted I'lne Blocks Becoming
Popular In all Sections.
Houston. Texas, Feb. 8.--The
Klrby Lumber Co. of this city has
just closed a contract with the city
of Philadelphia for 3,'>'10,000 feet
of yellow pine to be converted into
creosoted paving blocks for the
streets of that city, 'i'bIs contract
is one of the largest, if not the
largest ever given. The lumber will
be shipped from Port Bolivar.
The popularity of creosoted pine
blocks as a paving material In the
North and East is evidenced by this
large contract. The rapidly Increas-
ing demand for yellow pine to be
manufactured into the creosoted
blocks will materially affect the
lumber industry in the Southwest,
and is one of the largest factors In
the prosperity of this territory.

Noted S. Rhode Island Ited Strain
Of Chickens.
R. A. Barret., Route 2 McKlnney,
places an ad in this paper for his
noted "Barrett" strain of hlghscorlng
prize winning S. C. Rhode Island Red
chickens. He sells 15 eggs for $1.00
and $2.00. He has no stock to sell
as the demand is greater than
he can supply. Mr. Barrett says that
the Reds are undoubtedly the best
winter layers of any breed. That
means something when eggs ore
worth from 25 to 40 cents per dozen
like they have been this winter. Mr.
Barrett is an intelligent farmer and
chicken fancier. He believes In the
best, Is enthusiastic and progressive
and is a most agreeable gentleman
with whom to deal. Turn to his ad
and read.

thin, my weight was 115. Now, I weigh 163, and I am'
never sick. I ride horseback as good as ever. I am in
fine health at 52 years."
