Attend TO Business.

Nothing but ultimate ruin stares
that farmer in the face who doesn't
pay personal attention to all the
most minute details of his farm,
There are a thousand small leaks
about the management of an ordi-
nary farm, that if not closely at
tended to will surely bring the
most hard working farmer to ruin
and bankruptcy. Nine-tenths of
the thinking farmers can attribute
their present distress to no other
cause than lack of close attention
to the details of the farm; a closer
supervision of machinery and
tools, the stock and their food, a
place for everything and every
thing in its place. No one is as
much interested in attending to
these details as the boss. ouch O
course will, in a few months, a
year or two at least, enable many
farmers who are now Oh the down
grade, to again begin to ascend.
If heroically persevered in, it will
surely make Roadway against what
now looks so hopeless. A fear of
sunburnt hands and faces, dirty
clothes and boots, and a desire to
have a reputation that he does not
work on farm, has been fruit
full source of loss to many farmers.
A course of this kind once entered
upon will be hard to depart from.

Opportunities.

Great opportunities only pre-
sent themselves once or twice in a
lifetime, and if you have been I'M
fortunate heretofore, or are not
now proftably employed, you can
seize a great opportunity to make
yourself independent by at once
securing an agency for the Memo

Davis, which is being prepared by
DR.. J. VIM. Jones, the fighting
chaplain with the approval of
Mrs. Davis. The publishers, B. f..

The Family.

1t is in the family life that a
mans piety gets tested. Let the
husband be cross and surly; CIV
ing snap here and cuff there,
and see how out of sorts every
things getsl The wife grows cold
and unamiable, too. Both are turn
ed on one key. They vibrate in
unison, giving tone for one, rising
in harmony or discord together.
The children grow up saucy and
savage as young bears. The faith
er becomes callous, peevish, hard,
a kind of two-legged brute with
clothes on. The wife bristles in
self-deferse. They develop en-
unnatural growth and sharpness
of teeth; and the house is haunted
by ugliness and domestic brawls.
Is that what God meant the fami-
ly to be-He who made it place
for love to build her nest in, and
where kindness and sweet cour
tesy might come to their finest
manifestations. The divine idea
can be realized. There is sunshine
enough in the world to warm all. !
Why will not men come out of
their caves to enjoy it? Some
times man makes it a point to
treat every mans wife well but
his own--have smiles for all but
his kindred. Strange, pitiable
picture of human weakness, when
those we love best are treated
worse; when courtesy is shown to
all but our friends. If one must |
be rude to any, let it be to some
one he does not love-not to wife,
sister, brother, or parent. Let one
of our loved ones be taken away.
and memory recalls a thousand
sayings to regret. Death quickens
recollections painfully. The grave
cannot hide the white faces of
those who sleep. The coffin and
the green mound are cruel mag
nets. They draw us farther than
we would go. They force us to
A man never sees so
far into human life as when he

clear then, and he sees as never

Leaks that Produce Failures.

The Brownwood Appeal gives
the following:
There is not a man from the old
states who comes into Texas, but
invariably remarks God help the
farmer, not with more rain, not
with richer soil, not With fatter
hogs, cattle aud sheep, not with
prettier wives and more children,
not with fuller barns, corn cribs,

but to stop his leaks" The first
and foremost on the list is the
wholesale universal carelessness of
the farmer with his farm tools.

will say that it takes time. To be |

Obituary.

Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor (nee
Treece) was born in n. C. Feb'y
IA, 1905. Was married to Henry
Taylor in 1926. In 1928 she pro-
fessed religion and joined the NJ
E Church, in the communion of
which she lived consistently until
her death, which occurred Jan. 26,
1890. Thus for more than sixty
years she lived, 1--WE are told)
without the least stain upon her
christian character. She, with
her husband moved to Georgia
about the year 1884, and remained
there four years, then they moved
to Miss, where they remained I'M
til 1850 when they came to Texas.
Here she lived and won the conf
dence and esteem of all who knew
her. The fruits of her married
life was one child, a son, with
whom the old people lived, and
perhaps no son was ever more
dutiful and affectionate to his pa
rents than John Allen Taylor.
Grandma (as she WAS Familiarity
called was an old time Methodist
and lover of the old time class
meetings and love feasts, and was
always in her place in the house
of God when not providentially
hindered. The last few years of
her life she was very much afflicted
on the account of which she was
confined at home, but not
a murmur escaped her lips. one
said she had committed her soul to
God long ago and she felt safe in
his care. She lived her religion
every day and when the death an
gel came he found her ready. No
cloud obscured the dawn Of heav-
emily day as she entered the Spirit
world, happy in her Savior's love
she babe her aged husband, son,
family and friends farewell and
fell asleep in the arms of Jesus.
Her funeral was preached by the
writer beside her open grave, in
the presence ola large concourse
of friends, and we laid her away
to await the resurrection morn.
May her aged husband find COM
fort in the hope of joining her in
the land where there is no night.
To the dutiful son, we would say
follow your dear old mother as
she followed Christ, until you
overtake her in the '1and that is
fairer than day."

Yes, but there are many people

route this movement is going to
be made. In a few days the con-
tract will be let for the extension

road from Dublin, its present ter.
minus, to Comanche; that is well
known, but which way from there
That's the question. In all prob
ability there will be two surveys
made from Comanche, one by way
of Mullins in Mill county, thence
to San Saba and Llano to Kerr
vile, and the other from Conan
che to Brownwool, thence through
Mccullough and Mason counties
to some point on the Arkansas
Pass road. 1t is quite likely that
the engineers will have completed
these two surveys before many
months roll by, and then the mat
ter of determining which route the
road will be extended on will fol-
low. Leaving cut the topography
of the country either route is q
good one and in very short time
would furnish a good business to

Women as Collectors.

The avenues CT employment TO
woman are constantly increasing
Already she has proved herself
good typewriter, and the latest i
a female collector. At least a doz
en- houses in Kansas City are EN-
ploying women in this capacity
and their number seem to be con
stantly increasing.
A woman may be a hook-keepeI
or type writer and yet be thu
most feminine creature imagina
bic despite her business relati ons
but the female dunner would seem
to be another kind of business
woman and she brings forward
very promptly the questions how
much distinction must be made
between woman and n man in the
same business. One thing is GER
tain, one dare not kick lady col.
lector out of the office.
The female collectors are for the
most part young women, and, ac-
cording to their employers, they
are persistent and as successful in
their business as men. Their mode
of operation, however is somewhat
peculiar, and they do not seem to
go about the collection of a bill the
same way as man. A reporter
happened in an Office yesterday
where fifteen or twenty young men
were working. While he was talk
ing with the manager a well dress
ed young woman walked in and in
quired for one of the young men.
He was pointed out to her, and
while the whole Office watched her
she walked over to his desk and
began a conversation with him in
a tone so low that no one could
hear. After talking for a few mo
ments she turned to go, and, rails
ing her voice, said: "If YOU don't
come in and settle I'll be around
again Saturday"
When she was gone the young
man came in for an unmerciful
guying, and it safe to say he made
desperate efforts to pay the bill be-
fore Saturday. She was the col
lector for a jewelry firm.
A merchant who had adopted
said: 81 find that my lady collec-
tor is persistent, faithful and trust
and has great success in
