something more definite.
Quite an enthusiastic Interurban meeting was held
at Bartonville last Wednesday night. The right-of-way
was pledged from Denton Creek to Hickory Creek and a
stock subscription started oft with $2,500. Messrs. J.
E, M. Yates, John S. Estill and B. H. Starr of Grape-
vine, and Secretary Roark of the Denton Chamber of
Commerce, were in attendance.
Two routes are proposed from Grapevine to Irving,
so it will be up to the people along each route to ‘ ‘get
busy.” A mile or two added to the distance will cut no
figure if proper inducements are offered.
The man who thinks the Interurban will hurt his
property is mistaken, for it has been demonstrated that
interurban roads double and thrible the value of land
which they pass through.

LOCAL WEEKLY PAPERS.
/
The local paper is paid, for, and
whatever costs something to ob-
tain is utilized.
I-t is read because it was
bought for that particular pur-
pose.
It has influeuce in its field, be-
cause it virtually owns that par-
ticular field. It has, in its own
way, a monopoly, and an ad in it
of a dozen square inches is worth
more than a wagon load of circu-
lars. There never has been seen,
and in all human probability
there never will be invented, a
satisfactory local advertising
substitute for the local news-
paper; all other mediums are
supplementary, and effective on-
ly when used in connection with
the legitimate ads in the neces-
sary 'advestising medium.
The local paper i^ read by
everybody who has any purchas-
ing power. The rich may some-
times laugh at its defects, and
criticise its style and gereral ap-
pearance, hut they read it all the
same and the more they find
fault with it, the more do they
prove that their reading of it is
thorough. Their “kicking” is
of no importance to the mer-
chant who advertises in the pa-
per.
If the local merchant is well
known he must keep up his ex-
tensive acquaintance through the
medium of the local press. If
he is not known he requires
introduction through the same
medium. There is something se-
riously wrong with any merchant
who cannot utilize the advertis-
ing columns of his locality weekly.
Of course, the local paper must
be used inteligently to produce
results; but this remark is appli-
cable to all kinds of business.
Care must be taken in writing
the ads; sufficient space must be
used, bur it is unprofitable to
waste space. A very large ad
will probably be read wherever
it is placed; too small an ad may
escape notice even when at the
head of a column and next to
reading matter.—Ex.
J. E. M. Yates has jus t received
a large shipment of S<
and Ties to match.
A Burglar’s Awful Deed

D .\R. Choate, of;Paris, Tenn.,
a nephew of ours who arrived in
the Vine Thursday night of last
week, after visiting several rela-
tives and friends in this commu-
nity, Roanoke, Fort Wotth, Min-
eral Wells, Dallas, Waxahachie
and other points, left for home
this week highly pleased with the
Lone Star State. All who visit
Texas are well pleased with the
country and many return so well
pleased that they pack up and m o v e
out to stay. It may be so with our
nephew. We are inclined to be-
lieve that he would make no mis-
take if he should move out here.

It has beenf said that
cheaper than paying rent; but
paying your rent honestly and
regularly will give any man a
credit which will carry him and
his family safely through a period
of sickness.

For taking off grease on coat
collars, hat linings, etc., there is
nothing better than “Parisian
Wonder,” which you can get by
calling at the City Drug Store.
Our new press has arrived and
we are now prepared to print those
large circulars that you have been
needing. Come on with your or-
ders now; stack up the work on
us, we are prepared for it. Any
kind, large or small.
Too many young people depend
on their father’s money taking
them through this world, and their
mother’s prayers making every-
thing all right for the next. They
better do something along these
lines themselves.

Isn’t it better to buy

We sell Penney Bug-
