Test Your Own Eyes.
Read the small print with each eye separate at 8 inches
from the eye. If you can not do so your eyes are failing or
your glasses are not suited to your eyes.

If your head aches or your eyes feel bad, ache, water,
burn, discharge or feel sore or tired after using them, or the
letters seem to run together and become misty or indistinct
after reading awhile, or if jour eyelids smart or look sore and
inflamed, or if you have any trouble with your eyes, no
difference from what cause, don't fail to see Dr. Schwartz
about them and get relief.

ground to order to fit each difficult case.
Beware of street peddlers and traveling opticians canvass-
ing from house to house claiming to represent me. I
do not canvass or peddle and employ no peddlers, have
110 agents. The above is positive—no exceptions.
Doctor Schwartz
Is in the city it is not necessa-
ry for any one to be without
good glasses, rich or poor.
Glasses Given to the
Poor On Wednesday
During the forenoon. In tendering his services to the afflicted
Dr. Schwartz begs leave to state that many sufferers are need-
lessly despairing of relief. For the encouragement of such he
would say that because some (so-called) eminent oculist's
! opinion, or glasses ma)* be, has been productive of nothing
but disappointment, do not give up the effort to have good
I eyes. If one oculist has failed, do not give up and say there
is no hope. What Dr. Schwartz has done for others may be
;done for you. Try again, but be sure and try Dr. Schwartz,
an optician who is generally successful in the correction of
| difficult cases and frequently succeeds in giving relief and
often perfect vision where many others have faled.

HER PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The !
state is settled largely with immi-!
grants from different parts of the !
Union, those from the southern |
and western states predominating. |
laws.
The laws of Texas are made for j
her own people and are the most |
liberal, equitable and just any- j
where.
homestead laws
Are the most liberal, and her col- j
lection laws the most lenient to be J
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortnne, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of thehnsband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
!>e its duty, to protect by law from j
forced sale a certain portion of the j
personal property of all heads of |
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
TAXATION
Is light, our state ad valorum tiix
is now 20 cents on the §100, and
our state school tax is IS cents
on the $100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the $100.
LAND.
from
Improved lands are worth
£10 to #50 per acre.
Onr lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can lie fonnd in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
ROADS.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantial
bridges span all streams.
EDUCATION.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city of
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools run
on an average of six month [each
year.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improvtjj
ments thereon, and in this lafrt
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; noi
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed ot
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall Ik; void.
"Sec. 51.The homestead nut in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to
rhe value o any improvements
thereon. * * * *"
THE WAGES
of the laboring man, whether mar
lied or not, are as sacred as th<-
household.
Section 28 of Art. 10 of the con-
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
uiture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade oi
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and theii
calves. Two yoke of wo k oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and al current
wages for personal services
To all single persons are re-
served: -"All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books be-
longing to any trade or profession
One horse, saddle and bridle. AJ:
current wages for personal sor
vices."
Wherever the people's liomci
are safe there will patriots Ik
found. Hence tramps and beggar*
are not so common among us as in
other countries.
COOKE COUNTY.
Cooke is one of the northern tiei
of counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory on
the north by Red river.
It is a splendid farming section
and is also well adapted to stock-
raising.
The soil of the county is about
equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water
Red nver borders the county on
the north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 93.'!
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
It now has a population of per-
haps 30,000.
