New concrete sidewalks are to be
put down, extending from the busi-
ness part of the city to the new Fed-
eral building, just as soon as weath-
er conditions will permit. H. E. G.
Furr, the well known concrete build-
er, has Just closed the contract with
the owners of . property on East
Louisiana and East Virginia streets,
for an aggregate of 325 feet of four
and five-foot concrete walk, to ex-
tend from the Massie Furniture and
Vehicle Co. store on the north side
of East Louisiana to Chestnut street,
and from the R. W. Davenport bard-
ware and furniture store on the
south side of East Virginia street to
Chestnut. The majority of this
property Is owned by Joe Largent,
who awarded the contract to Mr.
Furr. Others who own property in
thiB block and who have, with Mr.
Largent, volunteered to build side-
walks, are W. R. Hill, Sam Massie
and one or two otherB, whose names
wo have not learned.
It is also stated that W. B. Benge
will build one hundred feet of ce-
ment walk on the east side of Chest-
nut street, extending from Louisi-
ana to the Federal building. All
these will give a total of 425 lineal
feet of new walks to put down at
once, and it is hoped that other
property owners In that section,
seeing the great benefits to be de-
rived, will extend the cement walks
In all directions, on all these streets.
It is also announced that the city
commissioners will at once put in
brlck-and-cement culvert crossings at
all necessary places, such as at the
intersection of Louisiana and Chest-
nut and Virginia and Chestnut.
All of these splendid improvements
will be most acceptable to the peo-
ple living in that section of the city,
and will meet with the hearty ap-
proval of all th9 patrons of the post-
offlce.
Much of this kind of splendid work
is being done in the city just now,
but there yet remains much more
that could be done with profit to
the city and property owners. Keep
it going.
A PROTEST.
Rev. >1. F. Wheeler Voices Objection
to History.
Editors Daily Courier-Gazette and
Weekly Democrat-Gazette: The at-
tention of the public and school
teachers is called to certain para-
graphs in Myers' Ancient and Medie-
val History, now used, and If adopt-
ed by the Text Book Hoard of the
State, will be used In our public
schools for the next six years. These
paragraphs clearly toifh inllflelity
in our public schools. To taint, the
mindrf of ihe youth of lhe land with
teachings opposing the Bibles' ac-
count of the origin of man, could
but be a collossal and irretrievable
blunder.
The Baptists in convention at Ft
Worth patsed resolution* nskiag the
State Text Book Board to discon-
tinue the "ise of tnls history.
The Presbyterlnns have done the
same, and committees from these
bodies will meet the above Board
on December 19th, In Austin, with
these protests.
I have been before our Board in
the City of McKlnney, and stated
our protest and they are glad to
take wise steps for the good of the
land.
Let the members of the School
Board and teachers over the county
cost themselves and write their pro-
test, and send to the Texas Text
Book Board at Austin. Letters fron
Governor Colquitt assures us a hear-
ing. Do It now; It will soon be too
late M. F. WHEELER.
Thrifty Young Farmer.
Walter L. Scott of Vlnelnnd hns
bought 51 acres off the old W. H.
Morn home place from Gano Horn,
The land joins Mr. Scott's little
farm. Walter Is one of the most
thrifty young farmers of the county.
He Is attentive to his own affairs,
Industrious and frugal, and wo are
glad to note his steady climb to
success In a business way.
Church Calls New Pastor.
The members of the East McKln-
ney Christian church have called
Rev. A. H. Snider of this city as
their pastor for the coming year.
Mr. Snider is a very able minister,
and no doubt the chorch will eon-
tlnue to flourish under his ministry.
The former pastor, Rev. J. s. Mea-
son, has been given the Collin
county work.

Remarks.
The rainfall for la^t month, like
the two preceding months was very
scant; the least since 1904, when
November had but .01 inch. Novem-
ber 1903 had none. With even
temperature, and little rain, made
November an ideal month for gath-
ering cotton and corn. The large
crop of cotton about out, being stim-
ulated by the high price of cotton.
Good portion of corn In field; the
small acreage of wheat sown looks
bad, but today's rain will revive It.

Congressman Elect Sam T. Ray-
burn arrived in the city yester-
day and spent the afternoon meet-
ing his constituents and old friends,
and making new ones. Mr. Ray-
burn's visit, It had been anticipated
would settle the question in the pub-
lic mind as to who would be recom-
mended for the position of poBtmast-
er of the McKinney postofllce, but to
a representative of these papers, Mr.
Rayburn said that he did not care
lo make any public statement in ret)-
erence to the McKlnney postofllce
matter just at this time, further
tlinn that he had already arrived at
a decision a« to who he would en-
dorse for the position.
Of course, thiB is a matter in
which all of our people are deeply
interested, and the reporter Im-
pressed this fact upon Mr. Rayburn.
He said that he hoped he would not
keep the people in suspense very
long, but just at the present, for the
best of reasons, he does not care to
make a public statement.
Mr. Rayburn has advised all the
applicants of this city of his decis-
ion, and as they are the only ones
vitally Interested, the matter will
have to remain a subject of conject-
ure to the public until Mr. Rayburn
deems the proper time has arrived to
take the public Into his confidence.
The new congressman mads an ap-
preciated visit to this office during
hl« stay In the city.
IN THIS DISTRICT
Rsv. Chas. A. Spraglns, who has
just been returned for his third year
as Presiding Elder of the McKlnney
District, M. B. Church, South, gave
us a call to leave an order for some
printed envelopes and typewriter
letterheads for his correspondence.
Rev. Spraglns' report this year places
the McKlnney District far towards
the front of the eleven /districts
composing the North Texas Confer-
ence. Under Rev. Spraglns are
nineteen pastors who preach regu-
larly In upward of 70 churches and
school houses.
The McKlnney District this year
had the best financial report in its
history. There were also between
600 and 700 conversions in the dis-
trict during the year. Everything
in the district Is In a flourishing
condition. The District owns* two
district parsonages in McKinney,
but has one of them on the market
for sale, as only one is needed. Rev.
Spraglns gave us the following in-
formation of IntereBt'to the Metho-
dists of the McKinney District,
which embraces all of Collin and a
small portion each of Denton and
Dallas counties:
McKinney Circuit.
The McKinney Circuit was created
with one Sunday appointments at
each of the following points:
White's Grove, Blythe Chapel, Cul-
leoka and Clear Lake. Rev. E. F.
Lancaster, who was pastor last year
of South Wilcox Street Methodist
church in McKinney, was placed In
charge of the McKlnney Circuit for
the ensuing year.
Half Stations.
Princeton and Wilson Chapel,
which have heretofore been on the
Princeton Circuit, were each made
half stations and put together, with
Rev. W. R. Goudelock. as pastor in
charge. Rev. Goudelock was on
the Princeton Circuit last year. Rev.
Goudelock will consequently devote
one-half ot his time thiB year to
each of the churches at Princeton
and Wilson Chapel.
Lewisville Statioa.
Lewieville Station was taken out
of the Dallas District and placed
under Presiding Elder Spraglns'
jurisdiction. It is in Denton county.
Rev. W. R. McCarter is pastor.
Richardson and Yickery.

a new one, embracing appointments
at Richardson, Vickery, Coppell and
another point, all In Dallas county.

ed $125 from the Board of Church
Extension, for each of these new
churches to aid them. These
churches are on the Blue Ridge
Circuit to which Rev. C. F. McKln-
ney was sent for the new year. Rev.
McKlnney comes to this work from
the Texas Conference.
Weston Circuit.
Rev. J. \V. Beckham, who served
the above circuit last year, was suc-
ceeded by Rev. W. E. Kirby, of Ce-
lina. Rev. Beckham was sent by the
Bishop to Bogota and Rosalie in the
Paris District. ,
Prosper Circuit.
Uev. J. T. Bludworth, who had
been on this work for three years,
was moved to Myra and Hood in the
Gainesville District. Rev. Blud-
worth was succeeded on the Prosper
circuit by llev, R. L. Ely of Alvord.
Anna Circuit.
The new pastor In charge of the
Anna circuit—preaching points at
Anna, Melissa and Chambersvllle, is
Rev. C. C. Childress, who was on the
Myra and Hood work in the Gaines-
ville District last year. Rev. W. J.
Wilson, who served tho Anna Circuit
,ast. year, was this year sent to Al-
vord.
Wylle Circuit.
This work also has a change in
its pastors this year. Rev. L. L.
Naugle was moved by the Bishop to
tho Clarksvllle Circuit. He was suc-
ceeded on the Wylle Circuit by Rev.
W. A. Prltchett who was on the

circuit last, year, was transferred to

Returned.
The following pastors were re-
turned to their respective works:

Klnney; Rev. G. W. Whistler at Car-
rollton and Farmers Branch; Rev.
W, J. Palmer, at FHbco; Rev. C. B.
Fladger, at Farmersville; Rev. Rex
B. Wilkes, at Piano.
District Commissioner of Educa-
tion—Rev. C. C. Young.
Conference Secretary of Missions
—Rev. C. B. Fladger.
Having been elected Mayor of the
City of McKlnney, Hon. H. A. Finch
handed in his resignation as a mem-
ber of the City Board of Education,
and at the last meeting of the board,
1)Ib resignation was accepted, and
his wife, Mrs. H. A. Finch, was elect-
ed to fill out hlB unexpired term.
This, It is believed, was an appoint-
ment which will meet with the
hearty approval of every patron of
the city public schools. It has long
been desired to have at loaBt one
lady on the board, since It Is evident
that a woman Is more competent to
discern and handle some of the
questions which, from time to time,
come before the board for delibera-
tion and adjudication, than a man.
Besides, the presence of a woman on
the board will add a dignity to the
conferences; a mother is better
qualified to reach decisions In many
cases which come before the board,
In which men must legislate blindly
and in an experimental way. She
can more quickly a6e and understand
the needs of the schools, in many
cases, and this, coupled with busi-
ness ability, makeB her a valuable
addition to the board.
The School Board Is to be con-
gratulated upon Becurlng the servi-
ces of so capable, refined and tal-
ented woman as a co-laborer In this
most Important work, and we expect
to see ihuch good accomplished as a
direct result of this addition to the
board.

IV. T. FOSFER'S
NEITHER DILLEl
(Copyrighted 1911 by W. T.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 5. .
bulletin gave forecasts of disturb-
ance to cross continent Dec. 8 to 12,
warm wave 7 to 11, cool wave
to 14. Warmer than usual, not ;•
much precipitation and generally
moderate weather describes the dis-
turbance. /'&
The warm weather first half of
December will tend to lower prioes
of grain, but holders should not be'
discouraged. Sell no grain or cot-
ton In December. The big specula-.
tors havo sot the trap and producers
are expected to run over each other
In trying to get to market. Let the
speculators trade with each other at
the big markets where they have
fallen Into the habit of making
prices. After those big fellows get
all they can buy at the low prices -
they will want the prices to go up.
No one can foresee a general war
In Europe and what such a war
would do to prices of cotton can on-
ly be guessed at but the general
feeling has been that Europe can
not afford to go Into a general war.
Next disturbance will reach Pa-
cific coast about Dec. 12, cross Pa-
cific slope by close of 13, great cen-
tral valleys 14 to 16, eastern sec-
tions 17. Warm wave will cross Pa-
cific slope about Dec. 12, great cen-
tral valleys 14, eastern sections 16,
Cool wave will cross Pacific slops
about Dec. 15, great central.valleys,
17, eastern sections 19. "
West of meridian 90 the Intensi-
ties of the weather features accom-
panying this disturbance wlll.be
moderate but aB the storm center
liears eastern sections the forces will
Increase and severe weather may be
expected in large soctlons near the
Atlantic coastB. At the same time
another storm center will make se-
vere weather on the Pacific coast.
We can not now determlfie which
of three cool waves will be the most
severe cold wave. One of them will
be due to ctobb the continent Dec. 10
to 14, the second 15 to 19 and the
third 20 to 24. The peculiar condi-
tion of planetary forces throws some
doubt on this matter and although
we havo expected the great fail In
tomperaturo to come with the third
cool wave we now suggest that you
be propared for each of the three.
The fall of temperatures will be
great and as It will be a sudden
change from very warm to very cold
It will pay to be prepared for It.
Fourth disturbance of December
will reach Pacific coast about 17,
croBe Pacific slope by close of 18,
great central valleys 19 to 21, eas-
tern sections 22. Warm wave will
crass Pacific slope about Dec. 17,
great central valleyB 19, eastern sec-
tions 21. Cool wave will cross Paci-
fic slope about 20, great central val-
leys 22, eastern sections 24.
This will cause winter storms and
severe weather from Pacific slops to
eastern sections and will be followed
by unusually cold weather. Not as
much snow In northern sections and
less than usual rain In south than
might be expected with a winter
storm. Last part of December is ex-
pected to average voider than usual
and not much precipitation.
We are preparing to place our
crop weather forecasts for 1913 be-
fore the world's greatest scientists
and we propose to convince them
against their wills that the causes of
our weather changes are known and
that we now have the best system of
forecasting ever devised. We can
not get our latest Improvements In-
to the forecast work before January.
