While Denton is gvt Advertised as a
regular health repBn, Rev. Scott W.
Hickey of Pearsall thinks lb should be.
‘During the month I have been here,”
he stated, “I have gained eight pounds
and if I stay here much longer I believe
I will soon be able to wear my last
summer's clothes." Another evidence of
the health of the city was furnished by
Edwin Fulton, a fomer Denton boy now
associated with his father in Dallas, who
told Roundabout he had lost seventy
pounds since leaving Denton last Feb-
ruary.”
“Bu^ineks is looking up
now." said Postmaster 0.

has let the contract for a new brick
building’ to Don R. Temple and Mr.
Temple also has Secured the contract
for the naw 810.000 Presbyterian church.
The Christian chureh expects to let its
contract about June 1 for a handsome
new church to cost about $5,000. The
First National bank will also probably
soon let the contract for three new
brick buildings, one for its own use,
one for the Lewisville Enterprise and
one for a store.” , •

A FIZZLE.
Must men and wdmen make a fizzle
of investing their money because they
have no system to guide them. They !
don’t think—they put a Jot of thought
into how to earn money but none at all
info how* to invest it. If you will call
upon us we will explain to you why
an investment in good farm lands is al-
ways safe and you are always sure of
an enhancement in the, value. Stop
right here and think. Did you ever
know of a man buyinsr a gnod piece of
farm land and not selling it for more
than it cost him? Just take the men
in Denton today wtia have made mopey
and are now on easy street and 85 per
cent of them will tell you they made it
buying land, paying the interest on
what they .owed and then selling the
land for a ■good profit. Land is the
basis of Kill wealth. It's the safest in-
vestment you can make because it can-
not be destroyed or stoleft. We have a
splendid investment to offer in a 100
acre well improved farm at a<bargain
nrice. We- suggest that you buy this
: farm, pay down «l,000 and pay the bal-
ance annuallv. It is an ideal countrv
home This farm dill sell for 81.000,
profit in a xery short time. We have I
numerous other bargains to offer. Drop
in our office and let us tell vou of them. ,
