Among The Farmers.
A Correction.
In conversation with a good
many farmers from all over the
country gives one an idea of the
prevailing conditions of cotton
crop. Jeff Westerman who lives
on Sabunno says cotton is no good
out there only in spots. John
Armstrong who lives at Grey
says the crop is gone there. Doc
Smith who lives north of Cisco
says she is very, very short up
there. W. A. Archer who lives
on Animerman’s place reports a
good crop. A. Wallace who lives
north of Cisco says he has a fine
crop and expects to make 30 or 40
bales. Mr. Rich who lives three
'miles south' west of Cisco reports
a very short crop. Hence you
see the crop is very spotted but
as a whole it is very short.—Cis-

The Credit Men’s Association
had it’s birth yesterday in Dallas
and according to Mr. L. E. Blan-
chard of the Wappler-Platter
Grocery Company the meeting
was well attended by representa-
tive credit men from over the
state. This association was form-
ed after the meeting had trans-
acted the business for which the
meeting was called and was a di-
rect result of the first agitation
which originated in Fort Worth
some months ago by the whole-
sale dealers of this city. The ob-
ject of the meeting was the per-
fection and adoption of ways and
means whereby a law could be
placed before the next legislature
which will regulate the sale of
stocks of goods in bulk. —Fort
Worth Record Aug. 26.
There is food for thought in
the above paragraph and no one
will complain at the credit mer-
chants for organizing for their
mutual protection. But while
this is true have not other inter-
ests and occupations just the
same right? Would anyone deny
the farmers the same privilege
others have? They are free born
and white folks.-^Gorman Prog-
Inasmuch as the people of Jew-
eir have been misrepresented by
some “busy body” and would-be
reporter, and whereas one of the
county papers published the same
as a fact; by request of the good
people of Jewell I would say to
the people of Eastland county
and my friends that nothing
transpired or happened that could
give the very least coloring for a
report of this kind of bad con-
duct during the revival meeting
held by Rev. Thomas Hanks and
myself, but on the contrary we
had one of the best meetings I
ever had the privilege of working
in. The church was greatly
blessed and built up in the faith
of Christ. Some of the Metho-
dist young people joined the Bap-
tist church and some of the Bap-
tist young people joined the Meth-
odist church and harmony pre-
vailed. May the good work go

The Jewell session of the Wes-
tern Normal and College of Mu-
sic closed September 30th. This
session has been a very success-
ful one, but on account of so
much work the attendance was
not as large as was expected.
All the pupils made wonderful
progress and credible grades in
the examination. A more earn-
est and enthusiastic set of pupils
will be hard to find. Prof. W.
A. Gentry was awarded a 3rd
grade certificate and is honorably
entitled to same. Many others
made very high grades in rudi-
ments, Miss Effie Baskin making
the highest grade. Would like
to mention all but space forbids.
We want to thank Mr. and Mrs.
Lafayett Lay for the kind and
courteous manner in which they
entertained us while we were at
Jewell, and assue them that a
tender rememberance will be kept
in our hearts for them.
This closes our work for this
