Not all the columns which have

NOTICE TO The PUBLIC.
PALESTINE, TEXAS, DECEMBER 6, 1907.

Stamford Judge J. P. Stinson, of An
son, told how the sum of $4,000 had
been raised during the last year to
build a road through seven miles Of
shinnery sand, how the road had been
a success and how farm values along
its entire length had increased from
$40 to $40 an acre as a direct result.
Jones county is so well pleased
with its experiment that Judge Stin-
son personally ordered a steel drag
on the split log plan shipped from an
Indiana concern for a further test of
possibilities. If the new drag works
more will be purchased.
Good highways cost so little time
and effort in Texas this state ought to
be famous all over the country for its
good roads. And it will be.-FOrt

The bank statements published in
these columns yesterday caused much
favorable comment in business cir

.reassuring as to the condition of the
banks, but were reassuring to all bust

money to buy and pay for what they
want. The crouch who was contem-
