Evangelist. Mr.. Cotton was a native
of Georgia, VT The old meeting
house he describes belonged to the
Congregational church there, and the
venerable pastor he refers to was Rev.
E. III. Dorman, who ministered there
from 1915 to 1924.

Just look at that steeple way up there,
seeming as if it would almost tonch the
stars! 1t was huge house $50 we
thought longer than it was broad =
and our eyes fairly swan with dizzi-
ness as we looked up from under the
caves. 1t wasn't painted outside nor
in. No matter; we hadn't reached the
conception of that, and so there was no
drawback to our admiration. We hadn't
read Mrs. Opie on white lying, nor had
we then seen white lead. 1t was Our
Westinghouse, and nothing could sur
pass it. And then to 90 inside! And
still the wonder grew Pulpit, pews
and pillars; stairs, galleries, walls, cell

and galleries midway; pulpit close,
stiff, angular, straight, orthodox Gin

high. 1t seemed almost perilous for
one to stand up there so high, and
throw down words as boys do stones
from hilltop. But there was sub
Unity about it that awed us. And our
seat by that pillar in the north gallery,
where First Person Singular sat, and
saw and wondered and listened to the
minister, tits said, with ears, eyes and
mouth all open Better that than be

TOHN Or CITY.
The plan is worth trying.

Whether Fort Worth shall be q town or
city is question to be determined by
its own people, but if it be resolved to
make here a city rather than a town
every month of delay will add to the cost
OF the accomplishment. Towns and
cities are made, not born, and that peo-
pie which start early in the race have a
decided advantage over those who halt
and hesitate. In some sections of the
Union there is capital seeking invest
ment, and in other sections de-
mand for capital, and this begets
rivalry and competition that necessi-
tates-effort on the part of those who see
profit TO themselves in the general growth
benson to the north of Fort Worth, Dali
las to the east and Waco to the south,
are up and doing, and if Fort Worth
would keep up with the procession it
must enter the field, and enter it early
and stay in it late.
The policy Of giving nothing and hold
ing on does not make cities in this day OF
rivalry. The men in Fort Worth
who have been made rich by
the oity's growth could be made
richer by its future growth, and they
should invest OF their profits if they
would make of the town a city. on
more than one occasion Fort Worth has
halted in the presence of q great oppor-
tnnity ana lost distance By it's delay

Eord 10 the farmers

A word to the farmers:
In these days of unsatisfactory railway
rates it would be well for you to ponder
plans that will enable you to depend more
for sustenance upon what You raise at
home, so that you will not be compelled
to pay so much tribute upon what you
buy and what you sell.
One very simple and very saving way
for you to help yourselves will be found
in raising hogs enough to supply all the
pork and bacon you can use through the
'year. Corn is a good crop in Texas, and
yet by the time you pay the ruling freight
rates for carrying it to market you find
its production far from satisfactory The
hard work you do makes strong food
necessary to keep your physical
organizations in good condition, and
nothing has ever been found that sticks
to the RIBS like bacon. Well, you are
buying your bacon at the stores, and you
are paying more for it because it is cured
outside the state and has TO be hauled
good long distance to find its market.
You must sell your corn for less be
cause the market is far away; You must
pay more for your bacon because the
slaughter pens are far away.
Don you see the remedy?
1t is very simple.
Hogs are easily raised in Texas, and
corn nroduces well
Feed your corn to hogs and save your
own bacon. If you cure but enough for
ahead by so much; if you have some to
spare you will have no difficulty in finding
sale for it.
The plan is worth trying.
