Mr.. G. w. Marine, who arrived
from Michigan last winter and loca-
ted on a farm some three miles east
of this place, has been quite ill for
some days with some throat or lung
trouble, and justly deserves the atten-
ton and sympathy of his friends and
neighbors, which he will no doubt
receive. Our Savior says, "I was
sick and in prison and we visited me,
and inasmuch as we have done it I'M
to one of the least OF these, we have
done it unto me-" All should be en-
gagged in doing the sayings of Jesus
that they may be approved now and
in the end also.
A large crowd was in attendance

interesting discourse at Mt. Zion last
Sunday. Billy looks very much like

1t was my privilege as well as

has been my custom to use on wheat two

What word to this great
American people-what an
immense field it covers-what
brain-work, what sums of

command-aye, blood has
even been shed and human life
sacrificed at it's royal behest.
The greater the degree of
civilization the more intricate
and complex the laws govern

the world are puzzled over
tariffs and exchanges. With
the savage it's plain matter
here's one and there's the other,
and to many minds his is the
better mode-it cuts off the
vast army of middleworkers
simplities intricacies, closes
every transaction and fixes at
once the loss and gain.
What has all this to do with
country store keeping-only
this-the smaller transaction
illustrates the largcr-the same
laws~1nd impulses apply. The
strife is for the protit-for the
gain. And how far would

and sometimes that contounds

thing. But the country store

living is in it. But we are not
hard to satisfy-the merchant

bltion is to make a decent liv-

that end we offer you every
inducement, to trade with us.
To do your buying and selling
with us, by an exchange of
whatever you produce of a
marketable character, for the
merchandise we sell and which

Mr.. Ross, who was recently nominated
unanimously by the Texas Democratic state
convention for the office of governor, was
born in Bentonsport, Ind, Sept. %, 1888, but
spent his boyhood N early manhood in
Texas. At the age of 10 he entered the Flor
ence Wesleyan college, In north Alabama,
where he graduated with honors in the class
OF 1855. During his vacation he conceived
the idea of going to the frontier on an ex-
petition against the Comanches, who were
committing numerous atrocities on the
settlers. After reaching the scene OF their
operations, his regiment had a bloody en-
gageinent with the Indians, which resulted in
their defeat. An incident of this expedition
was the rescue of. a little white girl who had
been for some time held in captivity by the
Indians. Her parents being unknown, Mr..
Ross charged himself with rearing and edu-
eating the orphan, sending her to a female
seminary, where she proved herself in every
way worthy of the care bestowed upon her.
She is now the wife of a wealthy merchant
of Los Angeles, Cal. While Mr.. Ross was
victorious in the engagement with the
Indians he did not come out unscathed, being
badly wounded in the arm by a rife ball,
and also III 4 side. In 1865 ne was placed
in command of thefrontier by Governor Sam
Houston, with sixty men under his charge.
Having established his post, he proceeded IN
another expedition against the Comanches,
and scored a complete victory. AT the
breaking out Of the late civil war Gen. Ross
resigned his commission and entered the com
pany of Capt. Peter i. Ross as a private.
He participated in 1875 engagements, had
seven horses shot under him, and came out
Of the war a brigadier general. In 1873 he
was elected sheriff of MsLennan county; in
1875 he was elected to the constitutional con
v~ention, and in 1881 he was elected to the
ct,.ta caooto 30
