GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
This is an age of opportunity. It is easier
to do business now with a bank account on
which you can check, than it was in the old
days of coon skins and wampum.
The young man of today lives in a time
when great opjiortunities are at his command.
If he uses economy in the conduct of his afiairs,
is modern and has an account at the bank, the
chances for him to attain financial success are
greater than those of his father and grand fath
er. It is never too late to cultivate the banking
habit, which is the modern gateway to success.

P B. Scott had a runaway ac-
cident Friday arternoon near
Dimebox and was seriously in-
jured He had carried a drum-
mer out there and was returning
alone. He was not feeling very
well and fainted, falling in the
foot of the buggy. The team
which was in a moderate trot
picked up speed till they began
tjo run and wrecked the vehicle
against a tree. Mr. Scott was
picked up unconscious in the
wreckage and given attention at
once. Later he was brought to
town on the excursion train on
its way from Giddings. It was
found that no bones were broken,
and though suffering consider-
ably from bruises, Mr. Scott is
getting along very well.
The team stopped not far from
where they wrecked the buggy.

Why Not P&y the Easy Way?
It's a Sign of Good System to Pay With Chec
♦
Why bother with making a personal visit every time you
settle a bill? The time you lose is often worth more than the
amount involved. Think it over. Either pay by check when
you make the purchase, or mail a check when you receive the
bill.
Takes Only a Minute
No trouble at all to fill out a chock and slip it into a stamped
envelope. Better by far than standing in line to await your
turn to pay or shouldering the countless other little annoy-
ances of hunting up the person you have favored with patronage.
PAY BY CHECK
and our Bank will keep books for your benefit for your check
will come back as a receipt and the whole transaction will be a
matter of record, shielding you from all disputes.

A Minister's Wife.
A doctor's wife owes no duties
to her husband's patients; a law-
yer's wife owes no duties to her
husband's clients; but a minis-
ter's wife is regarded as a kind
of lady-shop, or at least an unor-
dained curate, who by virtue of
her position, is bound to dis-
charge innumerable services to
the congregation. She may be a
young girl with no experience in
human life and church business;
but is expected to become the
active president of all the benev-
olent institutions supported by
the ladies of her husband's
charge. She may have three or
four children, whom she has to
teach herself, and whose dresses
must be made and mended by
her own hands; but she is ex-
pected to visit all the sick and
the poor. She has natural sym-
pathies. and however warm her
heart may be toward everyone
who likes her husband's preach-
ing, she cannot be the intimate
and confidential friend of every
lady that belongs to the church;
but people who themselves are
far from being distinguished for
a universal charity are indignant
if she finds one house pleasanter
than another and if she naturally
associates with ladies of her own
age and with kindred tastes.

Saturday quite a crowd of the
younger set of girls repaired to
Jim Teague's pasture where they
spent the day in a delightful bas-
ket picnic. Among those at-
tending were Misses Morine and
Marie Honeyeut, Carl Bishop,
Ray James, Rosa Bell, Tiny Lou
and Lesta Teague, Katherine
Sale, Eleanor and Kate Farmer,
Hattie Mae Broaddus, Margaret
Blair, Ellie Teague, Alma Simp-
son, Rita McRanie, Bettie Duck-
worth.

part of the county was here Mon

The proper education of our
girls is one of the important
questions of the present century.
It is something more than a social
problem and is deserving of our
best thoughts. It is a civil and
political, a moral and religious
problem. The presence of wo-
men constitutes one of the chief
charms and benefits of society.
It is she who far more than man
gives character to society. Into
her care have been entrusted the
nation's future statesmen, those
who soon are to be clothed with
authority and to make laws for
the greatest nation on the globe,
as he her education becomes a
civil and political problem. Herj
gentle presence as she bends 1
over the cradle at the silent in-j
fluence of Iter daily life are shap- j j
ing the entire moral character of
the coming generation, and thus
her education becomes a moral
problem.
Monday afternoon J. W. Had-
dox and Mrs. Mattie Hein were
happily united in marriage at the
court house by Judge Alexander.
They are both from the Cookes
Point community, are industri-
ous people and good people who
have the gixul wishes of their
friends every where.
