COIjIjIN school advantages
Educationally speaking, Collin
County has Improved by leap* anil
bounds In recent years. Brick school
houses have sprung up In all the larg-
er centres of population In the county,
one rural district even has built a
brick school house. Many of the dis-
trict schools arc now housed In mod-
ernly constructed school bouses. Sev-
eral of tlieui have teacherages, while
many of them have beautified their
grounds by setting out trees, shrubbery
and flowers, Tho course of study has
also been Improved and tho standard
among teachers has also been raised.
In fact no county In the state possesses
a better equipped teaching force than
does Old Collin. These teachers are
worthily led by County Superintendent
W, S. Smith.
Whiskey will continue to be sold In
Austin, tho Capital of Texas. The

Or. John H. Murphy again locates
In old Collin to practice medicine.
About twenty years ago, Or. Murphy

reared in that section. He Is a broth-
er of Mrs. J. U Mouldcn of Mur«
pliy, and tin uncle of our newly,
elected County Judge. K. b Moulden.
When Or. Murphy was practicing at
Murphy, he was a partner of the lata
Or. King of Murphy, who several
years ago passed tg his rewurd. For
more than twenty yeurs, he has been
located In the Kerns county. He has
again located In Collin, now residing
at Cellna. Ho was over Tuesday
night, attending tho County Medical
Society meeting and re-flllng his
license to practice In this county. He
Is reputed to be a fine physician and
a solid, good man. The writer had the
pleasure of an Introduction to hlin
