Oklahoma Man Says Five Thursdays
in February Will Occur in
1010.
L. L. Savage, who claims kinship
to Collin county, by having married
one of this county's best women,
who was Miss iva Blackwel], daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Blackwell,
south of this city, writes to us from
his home at Madlll, Ok., stating that
this paper was in error when it stat-
ed that five Thursdays would not oc-
cur in February again, for a period
of forty years. Mr. Savage, who
t-ays that his authority is Allison's
800-year calendar, is no doubt cor-
rect in his assertion. At any rate
we nre glad to have our attention
called to the matter, as It will give
our other renders a chance to do
some more "figuring" in the matter.
Mr. Savage, in his letter, says:
"In the issue of The Democrat-
Gazette of Feb. 29 we noticed a
statement to the effect that the
month of February just past, had
five Thursdays in it, which is correct,
and further that this would not oc-
cur again in forty years, or until
1952. We became interested in the
matter, and looked it up, and find
that the same will occur again in
1940, or twonty-elglit years from
now. Your valued paper is a
weekly visitor at our home, and it is
read with a great deal of interest,
as my wife (who was Miss Iva
Blackwell) is a native of old Collin
county, and in always anxious for
the news from "home" each week.
Wishing for your papers a prosper-
ous future, and for Hon. Tom W.
Perkins a seat in the National Con-
gress. we nre, yours truly,
L. L. SAVAGE AND WIFE.

The officials of Empire Lodge, I.
O. O. F. have received the following
letter, which Is self-explanatory:

MUST FIGHT MONEY I OWER.
Allen Editor Says Perkins Will
Overcome All Obstacles.
There Is not a man In the field for
any office In the State of Texas today
that is receiving more flattering no-
tices from the press of the State
than Tom W. Perkins, candidate for
Congress, of McKinney, and these
notices are not altogether flattery.
A majority, if not all of them, are
honest convictions and well wishes
for a fellow laborer. Mr. Perkins Is
well known to the newspaper boys
throughout the State, he having
served as president of the Texas
Press Association, and during his
official life as State Senator he has
heen watched by his brethren and at
no time has he so far strayed from
the good old1 Democratic highway as
to incur the enmity of the press.
During the several years he has been
holding positions of trust, he has
truly been a servant, of the people,
always fighting for the masses.
In his present race for Congress,
like the one he made for State Sena-
tor, he is going to have to fight the
moneyed powers of the district. His
platform is written in plain English
and clearly defines his position on all
questions before the people today,
and his stand is receiving the en-
dorsement of the laboring classes of
his district. The fight Is going to lie
a hot one, but when the din of battle
lias ceased, and the smoke shall have
cleared away, we believe we will be
able to say ho has received the sup-
port of the people and hau been du-
ly authorized to represent this dis-
trict In the National Congress, which
we know he can do to the full sat-
isfaction of his constituency and
with honor to himself. He won his
race for State Senator over a strong
opposition by nearly 3,000 majority
in the district, and men who-are in
a position to know, snv that lie will
even do better than that in tills race.
