Baptist Fifth Sunday Meeting.
Those w ho attended the Baptist
Fifth Sunday meet ng at Post
Oak reported a splendid meeting
—while not being so largely at-
tended as it was expected, on ac-
count of the people being so busy
gathering crops, still it was a
fine meeting, as it was composed
of representatives from Clay as
well as Jack County.
At some time during the year
it is expected * to have a joint
meeting of representatives from
Clay, Montague, Wise and Jack
Counties. This is expected to be
one of the best meetings of this
kind that has ever been held.
The next fifth Sunday meeting,
which will be in December, will
be held with the First Baptist
Church at Jacksboro, at which
time it is hoped to have a large
attendance.

Many a towering business has
been built up from the modest
advertisement asking the patron-
age of all who read it.
Some of the Jacksboro houses
report an immense business last
Saturday. They were crowded
until long after the usual busi-
ness hours and had extra forces
of clerks. This is good for
Jacksboro, and shows that the
people are pleased with trading

A crowd is what the business
man wants, beeause there is al-
ways some money spent where
the crowd is, but where there are
no people there is no money. Ad-
vertising placed in the home pa-
per helps get the crowd, and the
people who take and read the
home paper are usually the peo-
ple who have the money.

COL. B. F. YOAKUM.
Col. B. F. Yoakum has
nounced that he has grown
weary of railroad building in
Texas and will retire from con-
struction work. It is said he will
devote special attention to devel-
oping the agricultural interests
and improving farm methods
along the lines of the Frisco sys-
tem and throughout the State of
Texas.
Col. Yoakum was bom and
roared on a Texas farm and be-
gun business by selling fruit trees,
and early in life he was impress-
ed with the greatness of his na-
tive state and has done more to-
wards its industrial development
than any other living man.
A real empire builder and a
bold pioneer in civilization, Mr.
Yoakum has demonstrated his
faith in Texas in many ways. He
has constructed uew railroads
through uninhabited territory,
converted graz’ng lands into mar-
ket gardens and has backed vast
reclamation projects, proving the
possibilities of irrigation with ar-
tesian and river water.
The valuable assistance he has
rendtred the farmers of the na-
tion has won for him the friend-
ship of the agricultural classes
and the admiration of the busi-
n ss interests of the country.

in business must either go for-
ward or backward. He can’t
stand still. ^ And when any busi-
