This particular company, we
understand, is now in condition
to emerge from receivership, but
it does not do so. Why? Is it
because it prefers the shelter of
a federal receivership, as expen-
sive as it is, to the open day of
unencumbered operation in a field
where every bush hides a trust

The big Dry Goods sale which
was advertised to begin at the
big store of Greaves & Crites
on last Saturday, came off just
as advertised. The first ten
women who made their way into
the store received a dress pat-
tern each, and we heard one lady
say that the pattern was more
than she thought it would be.
The sale is being conducted by
H. H. Morrison, of New York and
Dallas, on a strictly up-to-date
business method.
While the crowd was waiting
for the doors to be opened, Mr.
Hester, of the Parker Photo Co.,
was on deck to take a picture,
which he did. The News
office was presented with one and
they are very good.
This sale is advertised for ten
days which brings it up to next
Wedndsday, and if you have not
been to this sale you had better
do so now, as there are many
bargains there for you.
um, Ontario, for the past four
months, arrived back to this city
on last Friday night looking fine,
and says he is feeling better than
he has for several years. Mr.
Cottington says that his wife and
little daughter will not return
until some time next month, and
that they are in the best of health.
He took his old position as ticket
agent and operator at the Katy
depot on Monday morning.
Grew in fiddle of Road.
On Saturday last Sam Horton
left at the Timbers office an ear
of corn. The cob is of medium
length, and is closely filled with
red corn. The stalk that grew
it was' a volunteer, that grew in
the middle of the road leading
toward Sam’s neighborhood.
When it is considered that the
stalk never got any cultivation,
this ear demonstrates what the

This vast and wonderful State
right at this particular time
needs, more than it needs any-

The crying need of the hour is
for men who will point the way,

The fact that Texas is too slow
of progress is not due to any
want of ready money on the part
ofTexana, for our people have
plenty of dough. Nor is it due
to fear on the part of the Texans

pair of boots and shoes a day.
Mr. Justin says he has for the
past ten years been unable to
take care of his trade, as he finds
at the end of the week that he
has just as many orders, as he
had at the beginning of the week,
at his summer home in New Bar* start on, and by the use of the
machinery he will be able to take
care of his fast growing trade,
and do things up-to-date. By
putting in this machinery will
give employment to several more
men, which will run the number
of employed up to about fifteen
at present time and latter on will
give employment to about twenty
five, which will be a good thing
for (the town of Nocona, as the
more people who can find em-
ployment here, the more money
is spent in the town.
In connection to this machin-
ery, this firm has purchased the
gasoline engine and electric
light plant of A. A. Croxton and
will install same in factory.
The machinery arrived the
first of this Week, and the work
of having the foundation for set-
ting the machinery and etc, com-

thing is expected to be ready for
the manufacturing of boots and
