Frisco Cotton Market
We are informed that there
will be five or six buyers of
lint cotton in the town of
Frisco during the cotton sea-
son and the farmers may rest
assured that their cotton will
bring the highest market
price if brought to Frisco.
Our two fine gin plants are
now undergoing repairs in
order that they may do first
class work and prompt and
satisfactory service in ginning
the cotton and the fact that
we are to have several buyers
of lint cotton and banking
facilities for financing them,
is an assurance that no town
in the vicinity will be able to
pay more for the fleecy staple
than Frisco. Give her a trial
and let’s see.

San Antonio along with
several other towm^and large
cities is going to give a “Har-
vest Jubilee,’’ this fall; the
dates are Oct. 19 to 28. These
fairs are a paying investment
for the towns and a good way
to advertise them. So let’s
advertise Frisco by a “Trade’s
Day’’ sometime this fall. Talk
it over with your neighbor.

Woodrow Wilson for Presi-
dent, Oscar B. Colquitt.for
Governor and Morris Shepard

not a Democrat.—Denton
News.
The News seems to think
that if anyone does not sup-
port the nominees they are not
Democrats. Before the prim-
aries we did not all support
the same candidates as the
votes show, but they are all
good loyal democrats.
Cameron county, way down
in South Texes, will vote on
a $250,000 good road bond
issue on October 1. They are
all progressing and yet Collin
county, where good roads are
really needed, is doing noth-
ing. We are going to keep
on pounding until we get good
roads in Collin county, and
the sooner we get the roads,
just that much sooner we will
shut up on the good roads
question.

ly lonesome home and of that

I am sitting below the
snow-capped mountains of
Colorado while I write. I
have been on several scenic
trips since arriving here. The
most interesting one of these
was the one over the Moffet
road, 78 miles northwest of
Denver, where the voice of
the swaying pines is heard
and the waters ot Clear Creek

Methodist Picnic
On last Thursday morning
there went from Frisco the
Wesley adult organized classes
of the M. B. Sunday school,
together with several of their
friends, to enjoy a day of out-
ing and by a cordial invitation
of Mr. A. P. Rogers they,
pitched their tents in his pas-
ture where nature’s own scen-
ery afforded an ideal place for
such an occasion.
The greater part of the
merry crowd went over in hay
wagons and on our arrival we
found that everything had
been arranged for our com-
fort, SUj^^-aJuUkt IU u 1 bunqiio®
and ice water, and as it was
almost noon the ladies began
to spread before us such a
dinner as we had hardly wit-
nessed before in all our lives,
attempt to describe all a^heiaMes from end to end
beauties that I have seen; I
am here with an old friend of
more than a. half-century. It
has been 53 years since I first
visited this 'country. There
were thousands of Indians
and buffaloes then, but they
are all gone now.
I will remain here one day
more and then start baqk
through Kansas and Missouri,
where 1 will make stops, of a
few days with relatives arid
friends, and then return to
my southern home, the dear-
est ol all. Yours truly,
W. B. StAley.
The public generally thiuk
that a big incorporation like
a railroad is exempt from mis-
takes hut they are not as was
shown last Friday. The work
train that is putting on the
gravel came to Frisco instead
of as heretofore taking the
siding at Hebron. The morn-
ing passenger upon arriving
at Hebron lound no work
train there so the conductor,
thinking that the work train
might be in the ditch some
where, took the engine from
the passengor and went in
search of it, leaving the train
at Hebron. The aboVe delay-
ed the passenger about an
hour.

appetites as far as we thought
our physical nature could

us by the boys a tubfuii of

was surely enjoyed by all.
The greater part of the after-
noon was enjoyed playing
games of various kinds while
some were enjoying the old
time swing. Before we were
aware of the fact supper was
announced at 5 130. As soon
as supper was over the jolly
crowd went over to the base
ball ground where a hot game
was played between the boys
and girls, the boys winning

day.

Under the Orator’s Spell.
Justice Brewer was once speaking of
the oratory of John B. Gough. “1
would go home after hearing bis elo-
quence thoroughly elated, but when
my father or mother asked me what
Gough had said 1 could not tell them
for the life of me. I remember once at
a Yale commencement along in the
fifties, about the time that I was gradu-
ated there, an incident illustrating the
force of personal magnetism. Gough
was to deliver an oration. He spoke,
©f course, on temperance. There was
a distinguished audience. On the stage
were many of the- venerable, notable
men in New Haven of that day. A
large space was clear about the table,
for Gough liked to walk back and
forth as be talked. He described how
a drunkard had beaten his wife and
came to his climax with, 'Any man
who would kick a woman ought to be
kicked out of the universe!’
“He emphasized his words with a
vigorous thrust of one foot, whereat
every person on the stage, Intensely
wrought up by the orator, likewise
kicked outward os did Gough.”—Kan:

When Tabby Raises Her Bottle Cry.
Despite the cat’s softness, laziness,
flufflness and purring amiability, her
piercing warcry in the night startles
and exasperates us beyond all bearing
—not by its loudness, but by a certain
vicious, weird, half terrifying, half in-
furiating note In it that makes us
spring to arnjs with the bootjack or
other substitute for the boomerang, as
the wurwhoop of our tribal enemies
did a century or centuries ago, say©
Dr. Woods Hutchinson in Success Mag-
azine.
One of Mark Twain’s wise old fron-
tiersman had caught this note when
he explained to the tenderfoot that an
imal speech had rules of composition
and grammer, just like human speech,
and that “the reason a cat Tiles ye so
ain’t on account of the noise she
makes, but on account of the sickenin'
bad grammar she uses.” And he was

bearer. Should he be so indiscreet as
to put one foot over the twelve inch
railing that intervenes between the
step and the doorway no manner of
persuasion can prevail upon the mer-
chant to grant him an interview.
In case he waits patiently in the
space allotted to unknown callers this
fqct is noted, and he is usually ush-
ered in.
Once in, there is still a more delicate
matter to be disposed of, and in case
the newcomer is ignorant of the cus-
tom he fares ill wilh his errand. Im-
mediately upon the caller’s entering
and taking a seat a servant brings a
Berving of^ea, which induces a small
tup for each person present. The
point of etiquette demands that this
tea shall not be touched until tin- guest
is ready to depart, in case the Inter-
view lias been a pleasant one, in which
case the caller is supposed to take up
and drink his tea at parting, and at
this signal all the others do likewise.
However, should It so happen that the
Chinaman is not pleased with his call-
er and is in any way annoyed by him
the merchant-takes up the tea and be-
gins to drink at once, which act is a
direct and decided hint that the in-
terview is' ended and has not been to
the plnosure of the merchant. The
caller is then expected to take his im-
mediate departure.
When a caller has become well ac-
quainted some of the formality is bro-
ken by the Chinese, and on a cold
day a cup of tea is served immediate-
ly to the guest in a social way. But
the “formal’’,tea is still to be observ-
ed and partaken of at parting, irre-
spective of the eup given to warm and
greet The ca'ler on hLs arrival. This,
however, is done only after many vis-
its, when the business dealings have
been oif such a nature as to warrant
friendship and hospitality.—Youth’©
