A DAY AT WESTMINSTER.
PROSPEROUS KX-OOLLINITE8.
Communication From Rev. M. F.
Wheeler, Baptist Missionary.
Sheriff Davis and Brother of Arm-
strong County, Texas.
To the Editors: I spent a delight-
ful day at Westminster Sunday. The
walk out from Anna Saturday
through the snow and slush remind-
ed me of the hunting days of youth,
when I enjoyed such a little more
than now. However I cheered my-
self with the thought that my miss-
ion now would measure up in im-
portance with what I used to do
when rain, snow or mud wras not con-
sidered.
I held services for Pastor Pierce
Sunday and Sunday night. Good
crowds were present. Several for
prayer Sunday night. I spoke to the
B. Y. P. U. in the afternoon and. all
in all it was a good day.
On Monday morning. I spoke to
the students in the North Texas Bap-
tist Academy. Some 200 or more
students are here for training.
Principal D. B, Allen Is a fine
school man and has the work in
hand thoroughly, and the entire stu-
dent body is doing fine work. There
are some 15 young preachers In this
institution, all working hard. Good
for the country is bound to result
from the training these young men
are receiving.
"Westminster has just completed a
waterworks system, which has been
greatly needed. The new bank
building ig under headway and sever-
al other good Improvements are In
progress.
Let the brethren note, that the
next Fifth Sunday meeting is to be
at Wylie, Jan. 28-30. It is hoped
that this meeting will be largely at-
tended. It is well to ask the
churches to send in a good amount
for Associatlonal Missions, as prac-
tically nothing has been collected
since the Association, as the Mission-
ary has been holding meetings on
Mission territory. Christmas season
is usually given up to collections for
the Orphans’ Home, hut the time is
come when our own Association
needs attention. I believe there are
in Collin county one thousand people
who would cheerfully give $1.00
each for each new Baptist church
building built in the county. I wish
you would send me your names with
this agreement. The Clear Lake
people need more than the amount
usually given by the board, and I
hope to swell this permanent sub-
scription for church building. Let
many who read this send me their
names and the $1. Proper credit
will he given and your name duly
registered. Brethren, please heed
this suggestion, it is a worthy and
a Christly cause.
M. F. WHEELER.

CONVENTION
C. G. Carter of Ash Grove and
Mally Fletcher, a Rheas Mill mer-
chant, have returned from a fifteen
days’ trip to the Panhandle. They
visited their father-in-law, J. D. Da-
vis, and the latter’s brother, Sheriff
W. A. Davis of Armstrong county.
The latter lives at Claude, the coun-
ty seat, while J. D. Davis lives nine
miles from Claude at Lark, a small
postofflee on the Rock Island rail-
road. Both the Davis brothers for-
merly lived in West Collin, but are
now prosperous citizens of Arm-
strong county. The Sheriff sends
The Weekly Democrat-Gazette a dol-
lar for another year’s subscription,
by Mr. Carter. He and his brother
have both been readers of our pa-
per for a number of years, in this
manner keeping up with the news of
their old home and many Collin
county friends. Messrs. Carter and
Fletcher both were highly pleased
with that portion of the Panhandle
visited by them and Mr. Carter Is
contemplating removal to that sec-
tion the coming fall. We should
be sorry to lose him from our coun-
ty in event he definitely concludes to
move there.
TO ENGAGE IN BUSINESS.
Joe H. Wilcox Offers His Fine Farm
Near Town for Sale.
Elsewhere In this issue Joe H.
Wilcox advertises his pretty little
60-acre farm for sale. It is well im-
proved, ideally located and In two
miles of the court house. Joe has
had six years experience in farming
and has “made good” as a farmer,
as well as regained his health. He
will probably go to some new sec-
tion of the county, possibly West
Texas and embark in the lumber
business, in which he was engaged
for ten years. He is a son of McKin-
ney’s honored pioneer citizen and
veteran lumberman, J. M. Wilcox.
Joe takes much interest in his farm-
ing and recognizes his duties as a
public spirited citizen, and has serv-
ed most efficiently as road overseer.
He used the split log drag with suc-
cess and we have heard his good
work in that line commended more
than once by parties traveling over
his three miles of road from McKin-
ney south, being on the Dallas road.
We shall regret to see our county
lose such a worthy citizen as Mr.
Wilcox In event he definitely con-
cludes to go west.

Dick Allen Fills Second Order From
Philippines, For Shoes.
Dick Allen, the hustling men’s
and boys’ exclusive clothing and shoe
merchant, who regularly carries an
attractive advertisement in this pa-
per, is enjoying a constantly expand-
ing business, as steady and judicious
advertising merchants almost invarl
ably do. Some time ago an "ad" In
the local press was the means of his
obtaining a mail order for a pair of
shoes from the Philippines. Dick
succeeded so well In pleasing his
Oriental resident customer in price
and quality that it was followed by
another order in a few months for
another pair, which Dick has Just
forwarded by rail and steamship to
the opposite side of our globe. Mr.
Allen is a native product of Collin
county, who is making good as a
progressive citizen and merchant. He
has a mammoth stock, prides him-
self in quality and a reasonably low
living margin in prices, gives per-
sonal and diligent attention to the
needs of his trade. These facts, cou-
pled with his store’s snappy newspa-
per publicity, have won for it the
reputation throughout McKinney and
Collin county as being "The Home of
Good Clothing."
Mr. Jim Foy and Miss Kay Wheat-
ley of this city were married at 3:30
o’clock Sunday afternoon, in Van
Alstyne, Rev. Bradford, pastor of the

and Mrs. J. B. Foy, and the bride a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S.
Wheatley, both being excellent young
people of this city, where they were
reared. May happiness and prosper-
tiy attend them throughout all their
wedded life.
DEATH OF LITTLE GIRL.
Pearl Steel, Daughter of William
Steele, Passes Away.
Pearl Steele, the six-year-old
daughter of Mr. William Steel, died
Saturday at 4:20 o’clock a. m. of ty-
phoid fever after an illness of about
three weeks, at the home of her par-
ents who reside in East McKinney.
The remains were sent to Anna on
the 1:32 Interurhan car and buried
that afternoon. We extend sympathy
to the bereaved parents in the loss
of their beloved little girl.
D. H. Bales, a very substantial
citizen residing near Allen, called in

ocrat-Gazette for 1910, also the Dal-
las News, with our clubbing rate,

you: we hope that you will like both

J. T. Carson, who lives on the
Mack Smith old home place at Wal-
nut Grove, transacted basinets at
the county seat Saturday. Mr. Car-
son was reared a few miles east of
McKinney. We have known him
many yearn and number him among
the beet frlenda of our weekly.
Westminster, Texas, Jan. 8, 1910.
—To the Editors:
I have been thinking since New-
Year’s of how good the dear Txird
has been to our nation the past year.
No wars, no earthquakes, no famine.
The dove of prosperity and peace
coos upon the flagstaff of every
state capitol in our Union. War and
bloody battle have given place the
last few- years to peace conferences.
The nations are rejecting the wicked
rule of Confucius, “Repay evil with
evil" and accepting the golden rule
of our ever blessed Christ, "Do good
for evil."
The religious progress of the
world has been marvelous. Never
were the voices of so many Christ-
ian missionaries heard on foreign
shores as now. To the Christian
world the words of Christ seem to
come with new emphasis “Raise
your heads and look, the fields are
alrqadv white unto harvest."
Never were the nations of the
earth on better terms than now. We
are learning the lesson, not only as
nations but as individuals of dif-
ferent nationalities that "God made
of one blood all nations."
Nothing has had quite so much to
do with thus shaping the minds of
the nations as the teaching of the
principles of Jesus Christ. This Is
being done not only by the churches,
though they are preeminently first,
but by the fraternal orders through-
out the world. For that order whose
foundation is not the eternal princi-
ples of the Bible must soon come to
naught. Just here I pause to say that
some of the so-called fraternal In-
surance orders of the dav are doing
much hurt to true fraternity. Be-
cause In many of these, members are
f-dmitted legarlless of character,
f.et It be remembered that in the
breast of every true and noble man
there is a humanltari m spirit which
docs not icgard gold coins nor fine
clothes. Onward with the true fra-
ternal charity to the ends of the
earth. But T should be untrue to
the feelings of my own heart to fail
in this little article to speak of the
hlesslnes of Heaven upon onr own
beloved county. During the past
year I have traveled over the most
of our "Empire State" and Co’lin
county had the best crops of any
section I visited. But. richer and
grander, and better than the vast
crons of our boundless fields, or the
golden fruits of our orchards, Is the
generous, unselfish character of our
people. Re It said to the credit of
her philanthropic inhabitants that
no set of better people breathe God’s
free air than the people of Collin
county. Any honest man can get
credit: ary struggling lad can go to
school; iny worthy widow can get
help, and any sore, sick and sorrow-
ing soul can get words of slncerest
solace and consolation.
As time rolls on In the ceaseless
flight.
Long as *he sun marks day and
night:
Mav peace and love and perfect order
Reign luoMmc within our border.
And when the angel from on high,
With feet on land and sea, shall cry;
May ours it be with Him to dwell
Who raised the dead and conquered
hell.
Tfl robes of white with barpa of gold.
With children young and prophets
old:
May ws flrd rest In thst blest place.
With all redemeed onee saved by
grace.
Fraternally,
