Here is Bound advioe*. "Take
offense only at things worth be-
ing offended at. It is a sure ev-
idence of a small mind to notioe
trifles ”
A poultry association should
be formed at Pilot Point. There
is getting to be quite an interest
here in improved poultry and
such an association would be of
benefit to all poultry raisers in
the vicinity in that it would stim-
ulate them toward a better grade
of stook.
Work has commenced on a
$200,000 cotton mill at McKin-
There is p’snty of room yet in
the ootton mill business; the de-
velopment has really juet oom-
commenced in Texas, and there
is no better plaoe for another
ootton mill than right here in
Pilot Point. Talk it up.
There are many different fac-
tory enterprises that would pay
to operate here in Pilot Point
and at the same time help the
prosperity of every one in town.
Among them might be mei.t orel
a cracker factory. Thousands
upon thousands of boxes of
crackers are consumed in this
part of Texas whioh could just
as well be manufactured here as
in the northern states.
There is nothing so bad, but
it may be worse," says an old
epigram. Cheer up, don't get
grouohy and talk hard times.
Milton in his "Paradise Lost"
expressed a thought that fits well
here: "There is nothing good or
bad, but thinking makes it so."
Don’t think hard times, think
good times and work all the
harder to baok up your thinking.

Boys' Corn Club.
Jan. 29th, 1910.
Mrs. W. B. Carson:
Member Educational Committe,
Pilot Point, Texas.
Dear Madam—Your valued fa-
vor of Jan. 28, addresseJ to Mr.
Wm. Ganzer, District Agent un-
der the U. 8. Department of Ag-
riculture, has been handed to
me with the request thal I an-
swer same, owing to Mr. Gan-
zer’s absence from the county.
We are sure that you cannot un-
dertake a more meritorous thing
than to organize a boys' corn
growing club. You should call
your boys together, and have
them to elect their own officers,
which should be at least a Presi-
dent, vice President, Secretary
and Treasurer; get all of their
names and send in to Mr. Ganzer
at Denton, and bulletins will be
sent them with full instructions
on how to raise corn, the only
requirements being that each
boy in return for these bulletins
agrees to prepare and cultivate,
at least one aore of land grown
in corn under the supervision of
the department of agriculture.
Get as many boys as you can
who should not be under 10 y’rs
and not over 20 years of age;
these boys may select their own
name, such as ihe Pilot Point
Boys’ Corn growing club or any
•ther name to suit themselves.
There is at present several clubs
in the oounty and all will belong
to the Denton oounty olub. The
Denton Chamber of Commeroe
has already agreed to pay in
cash and valuable premiums
$200, and will probably tnorease
this amount to $500, this to be
plaoed, for the best ten ears;
for the seoond beat of all the va-
rious varieties, for the beat ear
in Denton oounty, for the best
club in Denton oounty, eto. One
feature which we are trying to
accomplish is to offer tha boy
who wins th»> grand sweepstakes
prize a free trip to Washington.
The prizes will all be worth com-
peting for and will get the boys
interested in their work.
Mr. Ganzer will be glad to
come to Pilot Point and assist
in organizing a club if you will
set the date, provided of course,
it does not oonfliot with some
previous engagement. I suggest
that you seleot a date as early as
possible then write him to know
whether or not he can be with
you at that time.
C. E. Scruggs,
Seo. Denton Chamber Com.
The joint eduoational Commit-
tee of the clubs request all boys
who will join the local olub to
hand their names to Mrs. Car-
son at the Post Offioe or leave at
the Post-Signal Offioe.

sists in giving] away everything
you tell them.
O L. Hamilton a Candi-
date.
The latter part of last week
we reoeived a letter from O. L.
Hamilton, of Lewisville, asking
us to announce his name as Tax
Collector, and placing his final
destiny at the meroy of the Den •
ocrats of the county.
It so happened to be our for-
tune to know Brother Hamilton
both in a business and friendly
way, as he is editor of the Enter-
prise at Lewisville, and we have
nothing but praise to s’ay in his
behalf as we pcr^nally km w
him to be an upright citizen, a
true gentleman, and a true
Christian, and not only is he a
true Christian but he is a Chris-
tian worker and ie held very
highly in the estimation of the
people who know him as at pres-
ent he is president of the North
Texas Conference Epworth
League.
Now Mr. Hamitonis a stran-
ger to moat of the people ia this
neighborhood and all we have to
ask of the people i9 to investi-
gate thie gentleman both as to
his ability and as a gentleman
before casting their vote.—Roan-
oke News.

tween the company and oounty

TWO SECRETS.
Ebsn Hid His From His Wife, and She
Cherished Her Own.
“How’s business, Eben ?”
The old man was washing at the
sink after his day’s work.
“Fine, Marthy; fine!”
“Does the store look just the
same, with the red geranium in the
window ? Land, how I’d like to see
it with the sun shining in! How
does it look, Eben?”
Eben did not answer for a mo-
ment. When he did his voice shook
a bit.
“The store’s never been the same
(ince you left, Marthy.”
A faint little flush came into
Martha’s withered check. Is a
wife ever too old to be moved by
her husband’s flattery?
For years Eben and Martha had
kept a tiny notion store. Then Mar-
tha fell sick and was taken to the
hospital. That was months ago.
She was out now, but she would
never be strong again—never be
partner in their happy little trade
again.
“I can’t get over a hankering for
a sight of the store,” thought Mar-
tha one forenoon. “If I take it
real careful I can get down there.
’Tisn’t so far. Eben ’ll scold, but
he’ll be»tickled most to death.”
It took a long time for her to
drag herself .downtown, but at last
she stood at the head of the little
street where the store was. All of a
sudden she stopped. Ahead, on the
pavement, stood Eben. A tray
hung from his neck, on which were
arranged a few cards of collar studs,
some papers of pins and shoe laces.
Two or three holders were in his
shaking old hand, and as he stood
he called his wares.
Martha clutched at the wall of
the building. She looked over the
way at the little store. Its win-
dows were filled with fruit, and an
Italian name fluttered on the awn-
ing. Then Martha understood. The
store had gone to pay her expenses.
She turned and hurried away as
fast as her trembling limbs would
take her.
“It will hurt him so to have me
find out,” she thought, and the tears

trickled down her face.
“He’s kept a secret from me, and
I’ll keep one from him,” she said to
herself. “He shan’t know that I
know.”
That night when Eben came in.
chilled and weary, Martha asked
cheerfully the old question:
“How’s business?”
“Better’n ever, Marthy,” answer-
ed Eben.—Youth’s Companion.
