$L00 YEAR IN ADVANCE
MRS. WOODROW
WILSON IS DEAD
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of
the president of the United
States, died at the White House
at 5 o’clock Thursday afternoon.
Death came after a brave
struggle of months against
Bright’s disease with complica-
tions.
The end came while Mrs.
Wilson was unconscious. Her
illness took a turn for the worse
shortly before 1 o’clock in the
afternoon and from then on she
gradually grew weaker.
Both hhuses of Congress ad-
journed when Mrs. Wilson’s
death was announced and for a
brief time the wheels of the
government virtually stopped.
Work Started on the
Good Roads This Week
When you drive out of Trinity
you will see what is happening
to the public roads and begin to
get a hint of what the next few
months will bring forth in this
direction. At the present time
you will see a large force of men
on the Pegoda and Groveton
roads removing the stumps and
trees from the new-cut roadways
through the forest, and following
these men will be the graders
compieting the work of making
main thoroughfares, permitting
of the rapid flight of the auto-
mobile, as well as the slower-
going farm wagon loaded with
produce coming to our markets
and railroads to convert into
money. Development and prog-
ress are shifting scones in the
Trinity Valley and if we could
pass their pictures before our
eyes, as is done in the present-
day show rooms, the impressions
made on us would be both thrill-
ing and lasting.

His Appreciation
To the Voters of Trinity county:
I am profoundly grateful to
the people of Trinity county for
the majority of votes I received
for re-nomination to the office of
County Attorney. I feel that
the voters of good old Trinity
County have registered their
confidence in me, and my one
desire is to conduct myself, both
in private and public life, so as
to maintain and merit a continu-
ation of your confidence, that no
man will ever have cause to re-
gret a vote cast for me.
With assurance of sincere
gratitude and appreciation, I beg
to remain, Gratefully yours,
W. O. Seale.

The Conference for Education
in Texas has designated October
16th as “School house day” in
Texas. On this day the prob-
lems which affect “the little red
school house” will be discussed
by all citizens who are interested
in education and plans for secur-
ing legislation favorable to the
schools of Texas will be outlined.
In a statement issued by the
conference, all citizens are asked
to gather at their local school
houses on this date and consider
the best means of improving the
educational facilities of the
state.
Special attention will be given
the rural school problem, and
country schools wbfbh will im-
part the rural point of view will
be urged. It has been claimed
by educational leaders that the
tendency of country schools in
recent years has been to serve
mainly as a “gang way to city
life.” To correct this townward
flow of country boys and girls
and to inculcate in them a
genuine love for the country and
an appreciation of the blessings
of rural life will be one of the
objects of the conference during
the coming year.
A TRINITY GIRL
BECOMES BRIDE
A wedding of marked interest
was solemised at high noon Wed-
nesday at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
McLaughlin, Miss Mary Celeste
being given in marriage to S. A.
McAshan of Houston.
The ceremony was performed
by Father Lee of Palestine.
Mrs. J. W. Ramsey played the
wedding march at the entrance

immediate relatives of the con-
tracting parties were present at
the ceremony.
The young couple left at two
o’clock for a tour of Colorado.
They will be at home in Houston
after August 20th.
Miss McLaughlin’s charming
personality and rare accomplish-
ments have won her an enviable
place among the people of the
town, who are loth to give her
up.
The groom is a member of one
of the first families of Houston,
and is himself a man of much
prominence in the business
world.

The Sales Aggregate
Nearly a $1,000,000
Land owners of Trinity county
advertised that they would sell
lands in small holdings on easy
terms to actual home builders,
and the first year payments on
the sales since the announcement
was made a few months ago
aggregates nearly a million
dollars, the number of actual
settlers running up into the
hundreds. The settlement of
the Beaumont country by home
builders oould be effected by
the dividing np of land into
small holdings to be sold on easy
terms—Beanmont Enterprise.
The Texas Industrial Congress
is ready to begin its work of
promoting the dairying industry
in Texas under the “Moser Plan”
which was indorsed by the
Farmers Congress and the
State Dairymen’s Association at
College Station. The Moser
Plan, named for C. O. Moser, of
Dallas, who devised it, provides
for financing the purchase of the
animals, silos, and equipment
necessary for any town to have
a dairying industry, for seeing
that the purchasers get good
cows, etc., for their money, and
for the dairying to be carried on
in the most modern, profit-earn-
ing way. Every town that wants
an industry that will change its
farmer trade from a credit to a
cash basis is interested in this
proposition, and the Congress
will send a copy of the Moser
Plan to every man who asks for
it. The Congress will go further
—it will send a man to any town
whose business men desire to
have the matter gone over at
length with a view of promoting
dairying there, and who will
assist in organizing guarantors
associanions and in the other
steps necessary to get the pro-
position under way.

Benediction.
Our sincere desire should be
to c^o as much good for the com-
munity and help as many young
l>eaple as possible. Young
people watch for examples of un-
selfish servioe and such examples
contribute to higher ideals and
loftier eentiments. —
everything and everybody. No
firm or individual has established
a business without my doing all I
could to put them out of busi-
ness. I’ve tried every under-
handed method known to the
knocking fraternity to injure
their business; I’ve lied about
them and would have stolen
from them if I had bad the cour-
age; I’ve done all I could to keep
the town from growing; never
have I spoken a word for it, but
instead I have knocked it hard
and often. It pains me, oh Lord,
to see that in spite of my knock-
ing this town is beginnig to
grow. Some day I fear I will be
called upon to put down side-
walks in front of n*y property,
and who knows but what I may
have to keep up the streets in
front of my property. This,
Lord, would be greater than I
could bear. It would cost me
money, and I could not pay out
money, though all I have was
made right here in this town.
Then, too, Lord, more people
might come if the town begins to
grow, which would cause me to
lose my pull. I ask, therefore,
to keep this town at a standstill
that I may continue to be the
chief knocker. Amen.”—-Aran-
sas Pass Progress.

BIG LAND DEAL
IS CONSUMMATED
A deal was perfected toete last
Saturday whereby the Jackson-
Vreeland Land Company of
Kansas City, Mo., who maintains
offices in Trinity and is assooi-1
ated with the Southwest Com-
pany, secured a contract for the
sale of 1,000,000 acres of land.
The deal was effected through
the efforts of P. B. Rodgers,
tarveling immigration agent for
Gould railroad lines.
The land is in the Trinity
Valley near the city of Trinity,
and along the International and
Great Northern Railroad, and
is fine farming land. It will be
settled with colonists from the
grain growing states of the Mid-
dle West, where prices of land
have become so exhorbltant as to
prelude large profits in the
growth of grain. The Jackson-
Vreeland Company will sell the
land to homeseekers on terms
which will enable them to pay
for it out of the profits on the
farms.
The land company has made
an agreement with the Inter-
national and Great Northern and
its allied roads whereby a seven-
coach special train will be op-
erated from St. Louis on the
first and third Tuesdays of each
month, which will bring
thousands of homeseekers into
the Trinity Valley. The first
of these trains will leave Kan-
sas City on the first Monday in
October.
The colonization company plans
to erect a substantial offioe
building at Trinity, where it
will maintain its Texas bead-
quarters. Smaller offices will
be erected in other towns along
the International and Great
Northern in the vicinty of the
tract of land.

The Real Nerves of
the Commercial World
■ ■ .»
The ootton farmer who complain*
about the automobile searing hi*
horse, about the railroad* ruining the
country and the telephone and tele-
graph line* being a nulsanoe should
■top and learn the real facts concern-
ing the benefit of these industries to
him in oreating a market tor blr pro-
duct. Should he do this, he would be
almost inclined to take off his hat
when he sees an automobile approach-
ing and remained uncovered till the
machine passes, to show bis respect
for it. He would welcome the railroad
as a transporter and oonsnmer of his
cotton to such an extent that be oould
not afford to grow It, exeept for the
good market thus produoed for him.
He would feel proud of, and weloome,
the telephone and telegraph lines, be-
cause they, with these other Industries,
are the greatest consumers of cotton
in the world. If all of these indus-
tries should suddenly cease operations
for a single year, he might expect the
price of cotton to decline to the low
level of 4c per pound. It is policy tor
the cotton farmer to enoouragethe use
of automobiles, to welcome the build-
ing and operation of the railroads,
and to be glad that the telephone and
telegraph lines are the real nerves of
the commercial world and rendering a
servioe to mankind that none of ua
can fully appreciate.
An Increase Texas
Scholastic Population
The scholastic population of
Texas increasad 50,071 this year
over that of last year. The total
scholastic populatiod for 1914 is
1,096,641. The par capita
apportionment will ba $8, an In-
crease of $1 over that of 1918.
This increase is due to the in-
crease in the so bool tax from
17 1-2 to 20 cents on the 8100
property valuation. t
