The Kid Delegate.
The Houston Post representa-
jve in Austin, in speaking to H.
Dorsey when he was in that
the first of the week about
; delegates from this county to
recent Democratic State con-
ation, designated one of them
i "the kid delegate from Parker.”
I is true, the delegate thus desig-
is small of stautre, but Par-
county in chosing her dele-
i to that convention did not
, in so mnch for quantity as for
iity. We are proud of our
, delegate," as he was not too
of a \kid” to be elected to
aportant position in that great
ation, which showed that
anvention had the same opin-
of nim that our county con-
ation had.__
The various committees appoint-
to arrange for our coming
th of July celebration have
ally and efficiently discharged
several duties and have the
now in such shape that
aing is lacking to make the
occasion a splendid success except
the hearty co-operation of the peo-
* ** ,A Fourth of July celebra-
Hke any other undertaking
fehich all are concerned, cannot
Ijttade a complete suocess simply
be efforts of a tew promoters
leaders, hut must have the
co-operation of all, hence
Hsrald hopes that onr peo
realize this fact, and that
taka part by preparing for
Ives and one or two more,

social enjoyment, thus getting in
closer touch one with another,
after which let us all make one
long, strong, united effort together
for the upbuilding of our city, and
thus better the condition of our
people.___
One of the most enjoyable so-
cial gatherings of the season, was
the entertainment given by Miss
Ruby Cannon at the hospitable
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Rig-
gins Tuesday evening in honor of
her cousin. Miss Anna Stewart,
of Cleburne, who is visiting her.
Those present were Misses Eddie
B. and Mattie Hamlet Blackwood,
Anna Stewart, Viola Buchannan
and Ernie Tarkington. Messrs
Robert Morton, Ed Simpson, Fred
Roach, Herbert Gernbacher and
Bruce Cannon. Delicious refresh-
ments were served and greatly
enjoyed by all. AH agree that
Miss Ruby and Mrs. Riggins can
not be excelled as entertainers,
both being gifted in that happy
art. _
Better bring your oats to H. B.
Dorsey while they are bringing
good prices.
In the county clerk’s office to-
day about 11 o’clock, Mr. W. L.
Renfro and Miss L. Paxter were
united in marriage, Pastor T. W.
Cannon, of the C. P. Church of-
ficiating. The Herald extends
congratulations.
We have some good work
teams, both horses and
mules, to sell for cash or on
credit—Lowe Hardware Co.
A False Alarm.
Monday about 7:30 o’clock' a. m.
a fire alarm was turned in and as
usual on such occasions there was
soon an immense crowd of small
boys and others who could render
no service in any case. The fire
was said to be at the North Side
grocery, but in fact it was only
the soot burning out of Jno. Wells’
stove pipe which lasted only a
very short time. The department
responded promptly and made a
splendid run to the bridge, when
it was discovered that there was no
fire and the boys proceeded to roll
up their hose and return to the
station.
John Clark says for you to get
others cost price and come to the
Mississippi Btore end buy same for
ess moner, be sure to remember
bat cost price.
sThis an age of Progress
This question the Herald de-
sires to bring home to not only
the business men of the city, but
especially the capitalists—men,
who by their energies and good
jusiness judgment have accumu-
ated money and property suffi-
cient touxare for themselves and
arnilies for the remainder of this
ife. Have we no other desire or
aurpose in life but to hoard up
our wealth? Have we no higher
ambition than to live for self alone?
Why not invest our capital in
such enterprises as will not only
give employment to a large num
ber of* people, but tend to
build up our town and county,
develop our resourses and enhance
the valuation of our taxable prop-
erty.
This is what the building of the
Chicago, Weatherford and Brazos
Valley railroad would do for
Weatherford and Parker county.
We dare say there are thousands
of acres of raw land in this coun-
ty that is cultivatable. Is there
any effort being made to enduce
people to settle these lands?
Echo answers, No.
What has built up and develop-
ed the vast resources of Texas
during the past 20 years? Capi-
tal, you say: Of course capital
has played its part, but we assert
that the railroads have been the
important factor. Such being
the case is Weatherford who
boasts of her magnificient churches
fine educational advantages (and
proudly too) both in the way of
public and private schools, going
to fold her hands and say to the
world, we don’t need any futher
development?
This is an age of progression.
There is no such thing as stand-
ing still, we are either moving
forward or going backward
How is it with Weatherford?
Which way are we drifting?
We would like to see steps taken
on the part of both press and peo-
ple that will advertise us abroad
as a live, enterprising people.
Nothing would do more in this
direction than the building of the
railroad to Bridgeport, It would
attract capital here seeking invest-
ment, and it would guarantee to
us better shipping facilities.
There isn’t a business man
farmer tributary to Weatherford,
but *hat could afford to contrib-
ute something tither by taking
stock in or in the way of a dona-
tion to the proposed railroad.
Will we do it?
The committee has done its
part. Some have said to them,
“call again,” This should not be.
We are sure Capt. Henry War-
ren, Mr. R. E. Bell or Dr. A. R.
Barry, will take pleasure in ex-
plaining fully the necessary steps
to be taken to insure the success-
ful culmination of the enterprise.

head of registered Hereford cattle,
which brought, on an average a
little than $435. each -In this herd
were some of the finest cattle it has
)een our pleasure to 6ee. Mr. Gor-

but on account of other matters.
The fact is, he has made the rais-
ing of fine cattle a success finan-
cially and otherwise.

THE KING OF ALL!
THE
The Herald reporter today
called on Mr. W. H. Eddleman at
the bank, who is just baek from
Stonewall county where he went I
lately to look after mining inter-
ests which he has there. He kind-
ly showed your reporter a large
amount of ore which he brought
back with him, which we are free
to state looks to us to be very
rich. The compahy, of which
Mr. Eddleman is president, has
had several assays made, all of
which have been highly satisfac-
tory. They will soon have other
assays made and if satisfactory
the work of developing the mines
will be pushed with all possible
speed. ____
