THE WEEKLY DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, JULY 26 l 1t.
ON THE WING
I'erMoiiul .Mention of People You
Know l>y Our Field Man.
Earlv last Monday morning we
met our frlo:i:l G. If. Wilson near
the Kuty depot who beiran to "blow"
liis blij crop of peaches, and ax we
are from Missouri on some occas-
ions, we drove out to his farm ont)
mile north of the city and a few
hundred yards south of Wilson
/ atop on the Interurban. Sure enough
we found IiIh trees loaded to the
ground with the moat tempting
fruit we have seen thlH season. The
Mamie Ross we found pretty as a
June hride and sweet an a sixteen
year old girl. The Klbertaa will
ripen a few weeks bunco and we'll
lie from Mlssojirl again. Mrs Wil-
son In Justly proud of her orchard
and garden this year, both compen-
sating liberally for time and labor
spent In tare and cultivation.
Trinity.
.T. .T. Orenduff Invited this scribe
to remain for dinner and we did the
eating act to the best of our ability
and Buckskin was no less merciful to
his oats. Mrs. Orenduff has boon
our correspondent there for over
thirteen years, and our thousands
of readers have often wondered who
gathered our news for that plaoe.
She and Waller B. Wilson, editor of
the Democrat-Gazette were school-
mat<<s tn McKlnney several years
ago but he knew her then only as
Miss Mary Magnor.
We found Mrs. Eva Rowe busy
drying peaches and a hearty "help
yourself" met with a ready response.
Her daughter, Miss Polly, is our
news gatherer for West Trinity, out
regret to say that owing to her ab-
sence from home, didn't meet her.
The Democrat-Gazette Is held In
such high esteem that Mrs. Rowe Is
sending two copies to relatives In
the west, and will send another out
soon. Such friendship counts and
is the kernel of the nut. |
W. I). Gammons is a Tennesseean
but knows tlu> Democrat-Gazetto is
the best county paper published In
Texas,' and It's the paper of papers
In IiIb home.
Melissa.
J. R. Aycock, hardware, furni-
ture, groceries and undertakers
supplies. Left his farm at Verona
and came to this town, opening his
business May 1911, and from a
small beginning has steadily grown
until now It Is assuming mammoth
proportions. In IK97 liri married
Miss Mure! Stewart, daughter of .1.
<3. Stewart, the merchant of Verona
and live children are justly the pride
of the Aycock home. We had the
pleasure of spending last Monday
night with Mr. and Mrs. Aycock
whom we knew long long before
t.helr marriage. It Is almost neei-
less to add that the Democrat-Ga-
zette audi Dally Courier-Gazette are
i heir favorite papers^
W. R. Wall Is and'Miss Ida Boyer
formed a partnership for the trans-
action of domestic affairs In 1907
and only four times has tho stork
unloaded at. their domicile and with
tho exception of the first time left
a boy. Will is nursing a felon on
one of his Angers and the only con-
solation he's getting out of it is that
another has to pump old Plde. Wo
spent a pleasant night with these
two friends and they are real boost-
ers of the Democrat-Gazette for it
has been their paper ever since
marriage.
J. 1!. Jordan was doing the wash-
ing act. last Wednesday. Mr. Jor-
dan being sick and unable to do it.
Has a small patch of milo mai.w
which is maturing rapidly and will
turn out. a big lot of feed. His fa-
vorite paper is, of course, the Demo-
crat-Gazette.
i Valdastn.
A. D. PatterBonthe clever and
skillful blacksmith doctored our
buggy made sick by coming in close
contact with one of llncle Sam's
motorcycles. Can doctor buggies,
talk politics and boost the Democrat-
Gazette all at tho same time.
Clyde Templeman had a smile
extending from one ear to tho other
and felt as If he could Jump over
the moon. A seven day old Miss
had swooped down on the home and
Clyde didn't have tlino just then to
read his favorite paper, the Demo-
crat-Gazette. Moral: The stork and
Democrat-Gazette are as Inseparable
as Damon and Pythias, the former
Invariably follows the latter.
Altoga.
A. H. Braawell who has more
pretty girls than one can shake a
stick nt, says his crops are too good
to be true: the Democrat-Gazette
tho very best of county papers, and
that boys will meet with a cold re-
ception (on his part) who persist
In hanging around his promises.
Ardatli.
Mrs. T. A. Williams said their
eroi s were all good and the Demo-
crat-Gazette better than ever.
Vlney Grove. No. S.

a wife who had been suffering sever-
al days with a carbuncle, subscribed

Tom Wilson Is a native of Ken-
tucky but moonshine wrb too strong

times and political situation, sub-

but came here in 1910 and owns one
hundred nnd sixty acres of land
bordering on Sister Grove crook and
when his leveee are constructed to
prevent overflow, will have one of
the best farms in Collin county. We
thank him for a dollar on subscrip-
tion to the Domocrat-Gazotte.

Ills bed for nearly two years with

During those long months of con-
finement he has had implicit confi-
dence In his Maker and the Bible
his solace. A consistent member of
the Missionary Baptist church for
thirty-live years. Sunday School
superintendent and, If our memory
serves us right, has served his
church as deacon: an Odd Fellow
for fifty-two years and a man of
mature Judgment and ripe ex-
perience. For a number of years
has looked to the Democrat-Gazette
for the latest county news and local
happenings.
J. B. Lawson who. only a few
years ago moved to Oklahoma and
while there had the misfortune of
losing two boys by drowning but re-
turned their precious remains to tho
soil of their birth for burial and
their bodies He at rest In the beau-'
tlful cemetery of Altoga. Return-
lug with his family a fev/ months
later lie has made CoUIn county his
home since then. The Democrat-
Gazette followed them to their new
home carrying each week the doings
and happenings of their former
neighbors in Collin county: It was
also the medium through which lov-
ing friends conveyed words of sym-
pathy and consolation when they
were so suddenly and unexpectedly
bereft of two bright faced boys.
We spent a pleasant night with these
two friends and thank Mr. Lawson
for cash on subscription to the
Dallas News at our clubbing rate of

Wilson Chapel.
Late Friday evening we drove up
In front of H. C. Myrlck's nnd Buck-
skin called for his onts. Mrs. My-
rick prior to March 4th, 1908, was
Miss Cattle Brld^efartner, daughter
of Dr. Brldgefarmer and was rear-
ed In that community. We ran into
an Ice cream supper but on such oc-
casions there is nothing doing on
our part, but the latter end of the
big picnic was good dopa to us and
we got our part of it. Mr. and
Mrs. Myrlck are among our best
friends, and we appreciate their
friendship for they are readers of
the Democrat-Gazette of long
standing.
Princeton.
Mrs. Fannie Davis who contem-
plates an early visit to her soti in
Young county subscribes for the
Democrat-Gazette and we appre-
ciate her patronage. Our lady rend-
ers are numerous and form quite an
army.
W. T. Norman has been living in
Texas nineteen years and an Ala-
bamian likes Texas and will keep
posted on affairs by reading the
Democrat-Gazette for which he only
pays one dollar.
Elmer McMurray was absent but
Mrs. McMurray said her baby had
recently recovered from a spoil of
sickness. Their crops are all good
and read the Democrat-Gazette.
T, B. Dalton yawns a good farm of
fifty acres and reads the Democrat-
Gazette because it's the best paper
that Collin county has to offer.
In the absence of W. F. Huddle-
ston we stopped at his home for din-
ner. Mrs. Huddleston extended a
very cordial welcome and with her
and the children ate a good meal
hastily prepared. The Huddlestons
own fifty acres of choice land on
which they have erected a modern
bungalow which is very pretty and
with Its spacious rooms, comfort-
able. Their three children can romp
regardless of the weather for the
house was designed with that end
In view. Mrs. Huddleston was
formerly Mi*s Mary lteneau, daugh-
ter of our fellow townsman A. L.
Reneau. The Democrat-Gazetto has
been their favorite paper evor since
they began housekeeping.
A. J. Chumley says he cannot do
without ills favorite paper, and the
Democrat-Gazette has been coming
so long that it's considered one of
the family.
Our territory last week included
portions of Melissa, Chambliss, Vnl-
daeta, Altoga, Vlney Grove No. 2.
Princeton, Thompson and Wilson
Chapel. Early corn Is made and
good; late planting, unless favored'
with an early rain, will be light;
sorghum, millet and even milo
maize aro all good and feed stuff
for next year Is abundant and pret-
ty evenly distributed. With only an
ordinary cotton crop and a reason-
able price, there Is no reason to lie
pessimistic, although there aro ca-
lamity bowlers for it matters not
how big the crop, nor the enormous
price it brings, they never have a
surplus dollar. For that reason you
will be able to slzo him up.
Our candidates will all be busy
this week digging graves for their
opponents because it is an evident
fact that all will bo to bury as no
matter how low the excursion rates
are up Salt river, the campaign ex-
penses have gobbled up their sur-
plus cash and a burial Is the only
mode of getting rid of their thin and
offensive carcasses.

COLUMN
i To the Democrats of the Fourth
; Congressional District of Texas':
/♦
In behair of the candidacy of Judge
B L. Jones, of Sherman for the Demo-
cratlc nomination for Conmessman
from the Fourth Congressional Dis-
trict, we. the undersigned citizens and
Democratic voters of Grayson county,
Texas, take this method of unreserv-
edly endorsing him us a profound law-
yer, an upright Christian gentleman,
whose public and private life Is with-
out a blemish.
He has never sought at the hands of
the people of Grayson, his native coun-
ty. any public honor that was not
granted to him, and he bus been
faithful to every public trust reposed
in him. He has been twice elected
without opposition to the high and re-
sponsible position of District Judge,
which, for more than eight years and
up to the time of his resignation when
he entered the l'fcce for Congress, he
filled with exceptional distinction, im-
partially and with ability. He has
been a life long Democrat, and at all
times has been a willing contributor of
his efforts and Influence In behalf of
the sucfiftss of the Democratic party,
lie has always been a close student of
public questions and is therefore well
equipped and qualllled to render good
service as a member of Congress.
Ills candidacy has a most hearty en-
dorsement of the people of Grayson
county, and he will in our judgment,
e pin
•t of-
thsneof. We bespeak for him that
Impartial and fair consideration of his
candidacy by the Democrats of the
other counties In the Fourth Congres-
sional District that his high character
unquestioned ability and fitness for
the place merit:
receive practically tho unanimous
support of- the Democratic voters
