Tidings from Mineral Wells, Tex.

Mrs. Alice G. Clark, a Wildwood
property ow ner, is spending the winter
at Mineral Wells, in the heart of the
beautiful Brazos valley, in the state of
Texas. In a letter to the JOURNAL
Mrs. Clark says: "You see how un-
fortunate I've been since my departure
from Wildwood, and where l have
landed-Crazy Well, Texas. But it's
alright. l am glad to be here and wish
some of my afflicted friends in the far
away northland could be thus privi-
legged, for these waters are marvellous
in their helpful and curative properties,
when it to nervous, rundown
conditions, rheumatism or Affections
such as our fellow-townsman, Captain
Downs, is at present suffering with.
| vas talking with one of the founders
of Wildwood before coming away and
assured him this was the place for him
to come to, to recuperate and lest up,
and judging from the amount of work
he was accomplishing OH the new part
of the island l think he would be BEN
Gifted and it would do him good to
spend a few weeks at Mineral Wells.
l surely enjoy wintering in the Brazos
valley, and the several and distinctive
wells are nestled down in the very
heart of it. You folks will surely have
to come and see the town and partake
of the health-given waters for your
selves in order to better know their
virtues. Mineral Wells is a quaint
little city of 1000 population nestled
down among mountains in a way most
picturesque, and noted for its many
and varied mineral wells, some so, 1000
visitors finding their way to its borders
last season. The old notion of Texas
as that of a crude, only half civilized
state, has long since been d~issipated.
Texas now stands abreast with the
foremost in the minds of men and
women who have fancfed it a wilder
ness remarkable only for its size. Here
you will find as much culture and re-
finement, as much education and mo-
rality as in any state in the union, and
field, farm and orchard, ranch and
pasture, forest and mines, are equal if
not superior to a greater majority of its
sisterhood states.o

Letter to Wildwood Hardware ant
Paint Company,
Wildwood, n. j

Dear Sirs: The Trustees of Fair
Ground, Cobleskill, N. Y, were glad
to pay Is cents a gallon more for Devoe;
and no wonder. Two other paint
agents said it would take $50 gallons of
their paint to cover the buildings.
Our agent put it at 125 or less. 1t
took lis.
We saved them 35 gallons of paint
and painting worth $4 to SIS a gallon,
as the painting costs two or three times
as much as the paint less 10 cents a
gallon on lis gallons. Say $40.
That's how to count the cost of paint.
The cost of putting it on Is So or 81 a
gallon. You see what that means.
Go by Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.,
So New York.

A Republican newspaper of New
Jersey makes the statement editorially
that there is every reason to believe
that an officer of the state government
is the agent of the Rochester company
which manufactures the voting ma
chine sold to this state by authority
of a legislative act lobbied through the
Legislature in 1903" 1t is asserted
that the actual cost of manufacturing
M machine is 5000. The state pays
$3.50 for each machine. "Granting a
profit of 100 per cent. to the manufac-
turer, this would allow a margin of
about $3.50 per machine, which amount
it is limited represents that much graft.
eff an officer of the state government
is the agent and chief beneficiary of a
job that has already cost the state near
ly $500, 900, and will cost the state about
500, 900 in cash paid out from the Treas
ury If the job is completed, the facts
must be Investigated by a legislative
committee, and the investigation must
be as impartial and searching as the in
surance investigation in New York;

saying it wants 1000 subscri-

Times proposes to give them
the best circulated paper in the
county in which to do their ad-
vertising. Our canvass of the
county for the 1000 subscribers
will cost us about 5000, but if
we can give the merchants of
Missouri Valley the best adver-
Using medium in the county
we will be we'll repaid for the
expenditure Of the 5000. AS we
said in our last weeks weekly:
Sign the Cupon printed in the

don't say it has been worth the
one dollar to you at the end of

of any paper in Harrison county.
