JUST THINK OF
A Four Hundred* Dollar Upton Piano
Absolutely Given Away.
If,
That advertising is now a science is
• again demonstrated practically^ to the
baying public of this section by the
wonderful advertising system now em-
ployed by the moat enterprising busi-
ness house of J. F. Burns & Co., of
i
Pickton, Texas, who are going to give
away ABSOLUTELY FREE to some
one of their customers on March 1st,
1913, the beautiful UPTON PARLOR.
GRAND PIANO which is now on ex-
hibition at their store. The piano
sells for FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS
and is a HIGH CLASS instrument in
every respect, GUARANTEED by the
makers for TEN YEARS. JUST
THINB^OF.IT! .A Four Hundred Dol-
lar Piano to be GIVEN AWAY! A
few years ago if a merchant was to
do such a thing he would he consid-
ered a fit subject for an asylum, but
conditions have changed, yet in the
face of the enormous sum spent in ad-
vertising the fact that J. F. BURNS &
CO. giving away a $400.00 piano is a
stupendous undertaking and it clearly
demonstrates their desire to be "al-
ways up to and a little ahead” of the
spirit of the times.
Every purchaser of$1.00 worth of
goods from any department of their
store will receive a coupon good for
100 votes on the piano. The person
presenting the largest number of votes
to them on March 1st, 1913, will re-
ceive the piano absolutely free. No
favors will be shown and every person
will receive an equal chance. The re-
putation enjoyed by J. F. Burns & Co.
for “square dealing" Insures this fact.
We think the buying people will appre-
ciate this extremely liberal offer on the
part of J. F. Burns A Co., and we pre-
dict a lively scramble for votes.
VOTINO COUPON
This Coupon is good for 100‘votes
in our 9400 Piano Contest. Cut
it ont and bring it to ear store and
we will exchange 100 votes for it.

Dr. E. G. Patton of Dallas was the
guest of M. Boyd Wednesday and
Thursday.
Mr. John William Hunt and Miss
Clara Mae Baber, both of this city,
were united in the holy bonds of matri-
mony on last Sunday evening at 2
o’clock, at the home of the bride’s
parents at Pickton, Rev. Wallace Bas-
sett, of this city, conducting the cere-
mony that consummated the happi-
ness and blended the lives of this pop-
ular young couple.
The wedding was a quiet home af-
fair, only a few close friends of the
bride and groom being present. Mr.
Wiley Reid, Misses Ida and Bird
Oliver and Miss Merle Ticer, of this
city, were in the wedding party.
The birde and groom and the wed-
ding party from this city returned
home on the 3 o’clock train. Mr. and
Mrs. Hunt are now at home to friends
at the Boucher home on College street.
The groom is a native of Kentucky,
who, having adopted Texas and Sul-
phur Springs as his home, has won the
highest confidence of our people. He
came to this city a number of years
ago, with his uncle, Prof. Hunt (who
conducted a successful business col-
lege here) and began steadily forging
his way to the front. He accepted a
position with Hargrove & Co., as book-
keeper, and left that position for a
better one as bookkeeper in the City
National Bank; promotion was again
offeredmm and he went to Muskogee,
Okla., as bookkeeper and head clerk
for the Graham-Sikes Co., one of the
largest mercantile companies in Mus-
kogee; again he made good and was
offered a substantial raise in salary
to continue with that firm, but being
offered the appointment as Supreme
Secretary for Our United Brother-
hood, he accepted and returned to
Sulphur Springs to make his home on
January 1st. At the Supreme Lodge
meeting of Our United Brotherhood
in June, he was elected as Supreme
Secretary without opposition. Mr.
Hunt is efficient and capable in busi-
ness affairs, always pleasant and oblig-
ing and is deservedly popular with
our people.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. George M. Baber, of Pickton,
and easily ranks as one of Hopkins
county’s fairest, most refined and
highly accomplished daughters. She
has been a resident of Sulphur
Springs for the past year and a half
and during her brief stay here has
complete^ won the friendship and
best wfghes of all with whom she has
come in contact. Being richly endow-
ed by nature with grace and beauty,
Miss Clara has added the further
graces of culture and refinement, and,
possessing many ennobling attributes
of mind and heart, she will unques-
tionably prove a worthy and congen-
ial help-mete and companion for our
popular and fortunate young friend.
The Gazette extends its best wishes
for the future happiness and success
of this young couple. May their lives
be one continued ovation of success,
joy and contentment.
C. J. and C. M. Johnson returned
yesterday from a ten days visit to
their father at Somerset, Kentucky.
They say they had a nice trip and
found their father in splendid health,
notwithstanding his extreme age, 76
years. Outside the Missouri Valley
crops are short, though generally a
fine crop of hay has been made. The
Johnson brothers say "Old Kentucky”
has a great “rep” for fine horses, blue
grass, tobacco, whiskey, Colonels and
pretty women, but Texas has her best-
ed on all sides; especially is this true
down in the “sandy lands” of Hopkins
county, where the cotton and the wat-
ermelons grow.
FINE FARM FOR SALE.
110 acres, all in cultivation; three
houses; road runs all around it; good
water; two miles from Sulphur
Springs. Fine truck land; good corn
and cotton land. Will sell with small

THE BEST PAYS.
Our townsman, John Epperson, was
in Franklin county last week on busi-
ness. He called on his old time friend,
Larkin Rogers, one of the pioneer and
substantial citizens of the Hopewell
community. Mr. Rogers built his
house in 1857—55 years ago. “Uncle
Jimmie” Stokes made the shingles
from heart pine with a drawing knife,
and R. M. Epperson made and attach-
ed the tin guttering. These two faith-
ful veterans of their handicraft have
long since passed away, but "Uncle
Larkin” and his family are still im-
mune from the rains and storms of
winter. The roof is sound and the gut-
ters in good commission. It pays to
have the best. ----- --- _____
A GREAT CONVENTION.
The Sunday School Convention now
in session at ^he Baptist church in.
Sulphur Springs is one of the most im-
portant gatherings ever held in this
part of the state. The attendance is
not what it ought to be, but the fault
is not with the Committee having in
charg^ the publication of the meeting.
It coming just at the opening of the
cotton picking season, the fall rush
and the opening of the public schools,
made it almost impossible to get the
attendance the convention deserves.
’But the people of Sulphur Springs are
certainly enjoying a great privilege,
as well as those who are from ont of
town.
The program is rendered by a party
of Sunday school specialists, who are
touring the state in the interest of
Sunday school work. In this party
are Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Wiggins, State
Field Secretary and wife; Prof. J. L.
Blankenship, a noted song evange-
list; Miss Myrtle Dixon, one of the
greatest pianists in the South; Wm. A.
Brown of Chicago, General Superin-
tendent of Missions of the Internation-
al Sunday School Association; Prof. >
Frederick Eby, of State University;
W. E. Hawkins, Texas ^ield Worker;
Mrs. C. E. Cameron, State Elementary
Superintendent; Rev. Wm. M. Ander-
son, D. D., pastor First Presbyterian
church at Dallas, and a member of the
International Committee; Mr. and Mrs.
Frank J. Bell of Dallas, State Workers.
All these are eminent specialists in
Sunday school work, and they have so
arranged the program that every ques-
tion and problem connected with the
Sunday school is discussed in the
most luminous way. Each of these
persons is in the field by the demands
of the public, each having had remark-
able success in some line of Sunday
school workr' They cornel to us flash-
ed with the enthusiasm at success.
They speak out of full hearts concern-
ing things which they have proven
by experience. We have not the space
to speak of the' great work of each
one in particular. They are all great
and the opportunity to l-ear them is
g eat. Those who have been attend-
ing are fully aware of this. Everyone
who reads these lines, if he is not in
attendance should begin immediately
to attend the sessions of this conven-
tion and not miss any of its work until
Its close. The tarty goes from here
to Henrietta, where the next conven-
tion will assemble. The last
will be held here Friday night.

phur Springs Gazette and the Dallas

J. M. Armstrong just can’t hold back
when it comes to the different kinds
of fruit. He has placed ou exhibition
some beautiful apples; not so large,
but perfect in quality. He is contin-
ually placing something in the exhibit,
thus manifesting the right kind of
spirit in the exploiting of his county.
J. F. Loftin of Lamar county was a
visitor to the Club Room recently to
see the exhibit. He was accompanied
by his relative, Arthur Hastings, and
was well pleased with his visit It
I3 a special pleasure to us for all vis-
itors to come to the Club Room.

J. L. Gilbert, one of our most en-
thusiastic fruit growers, just can’t
keep his success to himself, having
just placed on exhibition some fine
Keifer pears and some of the variety
known as the sugar pear, of a similar
variety. He states that his pear trees
are free from blight, and that the way
he got around the blight was by put-
ting great quantities of slacked ashes
around the roots of the trees, first re-
moving a large quantity of earth and
then replacing with slacked ashes.
