vice held at o'clock in the afternoon for
mothers and teachers. The attendance

by teachers from the public schools.
Phe address delivered by DR.. Granstaff
was an impressive one, taking as his sub
iect "She Hath Done What She Could
referring to Mary in the Bible, and show
ing the spirit with which she worked.
He referred to the work of mothers and
teachers and of the value of the material
which they have to work with. He re-
| lated a story of an artist who went many
miles from home in search of material
with which to construct a valuable orna-
| ment only to find that on his return his
apprentice had used the material at his
own door and had wrought great beauty.
The evening service was we'll attended.
After the song service led by Mr.. Pugh,
Dr. Granstaff took for his theme 1.-The
loneliness of Christ" and delivered a
masterful sermon.

pie process of buying untitled lands at
low prices and increasing the value many
fold by irrigation. He was the first man
to realize the possibilities of that terri
tory. He had been educated for the law
and was living at the little town of Bee
vile, about two hundred miles north of
Harrington, when he had occasion, eight
years ago, to visit Brownsville. In order
to reach it an overland trip by wagon
had to be made over $50 miles of semi
desert country. He took careful note of
the soil, and made up his mind that here
was his chance. But was stone broke.
So he went about obtaining options on
purchases of enormous tracts of land
along the river, at prices ranging from S.
to So an acre. He borrowed enough to
bind these options for TWO years. Mr.
Hill is worth s6,0O0000 and the money is
still piling up. He is going to build a rail-
road of his own, from Harrington to San
Antonio--24O miles-and he is doing it all
alone. That is record for eight years
effort.-Leslie's Weekly.

persistent or more dangerous TO the OUT

great permanent fortunes have been

here between speculation in prices oniy
and the kind of legitimate speculation

A WORM F!

A million dollars has been con-
tributed by John d. Rockefeller for
the determination of the Hook
Worm
Scientists have now proven that
the pale anaemic condition and list
less inGnition OF hundreds of thou
sands of Southern people is caused by
an intestinal worm.
The Hook Worm is only one of
fifty species of Worms that are known
to infest the human intestines. Many
cases of stomach troubles, blood i'm
poverishment and general debility and
weakness are caused by Worms.
Dr. John f. True of Auburn, Nc,
was fifty years in advance of his time.
He recognized this in 1851 and gave
to the world DIR. Trues Elixir, which
positively expels Worms.
Whenever a laxative is needed,
DR.. True's Elixir should be taken.
IL Is ilot Only 4 nc BoNSl IoiiIC I4dNd-
tive ever devised, but it absolutely
cxpels all animal life (worms) from
the system. Worms cannot exist
where Dr.. TrUc's Elixir is taken.
instead OF pills, syrups, or carthartic
| tablets, why not take DR.. True's
Elixir? 1t fulflls everything that is
asked of a laxative and also insurcs
the expulsion from your system of all
pernicious animal life, if any exists
there.
Children, especially, are frequently
sickly, peevsh and fretful from no
other cause than worms. Dr. True's
Elixir makes them healthy, strong
and well.
Many a man finds himself listless
and without energy; does not know
what is the matter with him. Cannot
seem to put any force into the days
work; has no vim. A few days
treatment with DR.. Trues Elixir will
correct these conditions.
