as Agricultural and Mechanical Col.
lege from which he was graduated. He
then went TO the Texas University and
afterward to the University Of NIr-

of these great universities.
Mr. Rowell was admitted to the bar
in 1857 and began TO practice soon
after, and now practices in all the
State courts and United States Courts.
In 1898 the people of the Jefferson
district elected him to the State legis

Judge for four consecutive terms with
out opposition.
Wishing to devote himself to the
practice of his profession he resigned

Judge Rowell has always been active

Judge Rowell believes in Jefferson
and thiks the city will yet come into
her own. In his judgment Jefferson
needs advertising, the people who de
sire and are looking for homes should
be informed of what Marion county
has to offer in cheap lands, fertile
and well-watered, and then the city
would prosper, for if the people knew
they would come.

J. NJ. SINGLETON
A Bright Jeffersonian Who Has Been
Successful-Land Owner and
LAWYER.

There was time when it was COM

grand old Southland didn't have any
business sense, no gumption as it were,
that If you wanted to get man who
knew Business with a capital B you
would have to get the Massachusetts
Connecticut or New York variety, but
this myth is losing its hold on the
iatuous yankee mind.
When Texas brains and Texas money
began to develop the great Caddo oil
field lying at the doors Of ) efferson, there
was not found wanting the men to
represent this city in gathering in the
good things that flowed there.rom.
Among those who have taken an in.
terest in seeing the fl cid developed no
one has been more active than J. NJ
Singleton, who has been successful to
a degree. A young lawyer of ability.
partner of Hon. l., S. Schluter, at one
time county attorney Of Marion Coun-

and b'ghtoned in every respect, Mr..
Singleton is recognized in this COM
munity as an able man and a wise
counsellor.
a native of Harrison county he was
a mere boy when with his parents he
came to Jefferson. Determining early
that he would be a lawyer, his course
of study was directed that way and he
was quite young when admitted to
practice With the business instinct
strong in him Mr., Singleton has dealt
in Marion County land and now owns
several tracts. The gentleman is a
Jefferson pusher and has done his part
to make Jefferson? He believes in the
city and shows that he does by invest
ing in town lots AS well as farm and
oil lands. When the new Jefferson

feels assured that j NJ. Singleton will

JUDGE r, A. LOOMS

The position of County Judge is a
most important one, especially in a
county like Marion. It's demands are

these to high degree, as is shown by

throughout given the people entire
salts faction.

THE JEFFERSON JIMPLECUTE.

The press, the mightiest of all
factors in building up and promto-
ing the interest of a community, is
ably represented in Jefferson by
the Jimplecute, a bright, clean,
newsy paper, ably edited, and with
a wide extented field reached by
It's circulation. 1t has triumphed
without the adventurous aid of
capital or subsidy, its superb sue
cess being mainly due to it's merits

rity, energy and publicspiritedness
of its makers, from founder to the
present day.

OUR SPECIAL SOUVENIR Ed
TION.

The Jimplecute sends out this
edition of the paper with pardon
able pride, and hopefulness that
it will do its good work in a way
to bring the fullest returns to JEFF
ferson, the city that we have stood
for and worked for during many
years, with every energy and
talent that we possess.
The press Of our country has
not alone been the university from
which have graduated many Of our
public men to high honor and
position. 1t has also been the
school in which the editors have
learned to foster and promote in
every fair way, the material, NOR
al and spiritual well being of the
community with which fortune
has east their lot.
The newspaper of today is the
evangel Of better things, as well
as a vehicle of publicity. The
gentler and sweeter impulses of
human life do not always give way
to the pursuit Of mere money, for
money is not always the one
powerful force, it is not always
the law-giver socially or political
ly, and we can say with pride
that the devotion Of the press to
the better things Of life, without
money and without price prove
this.
We love the city m which we
live and work. Each individual
becomes our neighbor. and we his
friend. Our calling is to uplifl
and upbuild all things that max.
for jefferson good.
We have for some time contem-
plated and considered the issuing
of this historical, biographical and
commercial edition Of The Jimple-
cute that is now before you. We
have worked out the details care
fully. We have printed nothing
but what we belive to be true.
The big hearted, stalwart, capt
aims Of commerce, industry and the
professions who have aided us
have our gratitude, and if we have
our gratitude, and if we have
their good will and appreciation
we are repaid, for in this venture
the making of money was not
considered.
The Jimplecute hopes that one
faith, one hope, and one ambition
possess us ALTO make jefferson
greater and more beautiful in
every way. We can do it. It
waits but to be done.
We have in this issue set forth
what Jefferson is, and when time
IN his ceaseless roll shall have
brought to our home city that
Improvement which will mark a
new epoch in our larger course,
The Jmplecute will again ehron-
icle the larger achievement.

Tho following IL the last 81 explanation
OF the JIMPLECUTE and II Ia repro
ducsd for this iseue.
Since the compilation of The
word JIMPLECUTE, the curios,
the thoughtless, the thoughtful, the
learned and the unlearncd, have
been curious TO know the sioniti-
cance of the word. The Inquest
of renown have failed to find any
trace of the word in any OF the live
or dead languages. we have at
last decided to place before our
readers and origin Of the word, and
let those who have characterized
the name as being meaningless, see
how far wrong they were. We doubt
if there is name carried by the
entire newspaper fraternity, that
has more significance, than the
JIMPLECUTE. It is the friend of
all the elements that build up the
country, it is absolutely free from
politics. 1t is friend of labor, like
wise capital. 1t advocates industry,
and greatest of all it advocates
friendship and unity between every
interest. When properly written
out the JIMLECUTE reads as
follows:
