To-The EdMhv
I have decided to embark In the
real estate business in Canton, and In
order to do a legitimate busineag-I
have joined the Texas Immigration
and Information Bureau, which is en-
dorsed by the State of Texas, the ob-
ject of which is to drive out tlie land
sharks that were robbing both the
seller and buyer. Being a member of
this bureau places-me in touch with
prospective buyers, so if yot\ have
land to sell, call and list it with me,
as I Wish to get It before the public at
once. Yours for the success of Van
Zandt county.

If your religion isn't on straight,
now Is the time to make trie adjust-

go, but bewrare of the thought of re-

that cannot be attended to very well
outside of the house of the Lord.

ford to wait one more week, the Her-
