VINES AND ORNAMENTAL

TREES A product Of Marion
county that but few know its
commercial value is the wild
smilax, Commonly called BAN
boo) and holly, though this vine
and tree grows wild and can be
found in almost every valley
and on every hill, yet it has a
strong commercial value, that
makes it profitable as well as or
namental. Several parties here
during the year gather these
two products and ship same to
all parts of the country. The
wild smilax an account of its
graceful foliage is one of the
most popular vines used for dec
Grating, it remains green and
fresh for weeks. 1t is very
hardy vine, as the more it is cut
the stronger it grows. 1t is
shipped in 100 pound bundles
and brings sc per pound and
there is always ready sale for
same. In cold December when
most other trees have shed their
foliage, the holly leaves are
green and branches red with ber-
ries. This tree is one that child
rem love to see, for it is used for
Christmas trees. The branches
are shipped in crates anC bring

THE FIRST IRON FURNACE

IN Texas was erected seven
miles west of Jefferson, and was
known as the Llewellyn Furnace,
which was devoted entirely for
the making of ore into pig iron,
and the entire output was used
by the Kelly Plow Company of
kellyville, four miles west OF
Jefferson in manufacturing the
Celebrated Pony Plow, Stoves
and all kinds of Hollowware.

County:
The United States Department
Of Agriculture at Washington
has sent me here to remain am,
ong you during the coming crop
season. So | will be with you

My duties will be to select dem

onstrators to work same, and to
encourage every farmer in the
county to become a co-operator
with the demonstrators in intro
ducing the government meth
DDS and theories of farming.
Now, | want to make a success
of the work, and in order to do
SO | must have the help of every
one, no matter what may be his
profession, calling or occupa,
ton, for without your assistance
can't well succeed. So, | am
seeking the acquaintance and
cooperation of all, both city and
country, because | know if you

products of all East Texas.
Marion Coanty's up land is

lands are far superior Ia that of
any county in East Texas, and
besides, has 50 much more of

article today, the calculation is
not complete until all products
have been accounted for. In
cotton seed everything is pressed

may De mentioned cotton batting,

slogan used by one of the largest
factories of its kind in the world
advertising one of the great by
products of cotton seed. Jeffer-
son offers as fine market for
cotton seed as can be found any
where in the South, as the larg-
est oil mills have their buyers
and storage houses here and pay
the highest market price. No
better location can be found any
where for a four or five press

COTTON WAREHOUSES;.

ferson offers to the farmers of
Marion county and adjoining
counties, the best market in
East Texas; the merchants all
buy cotton and pay the very
highest market price. To sub
stantiate this assertion, on Sept.
18th Of this year, cotton sold in
Jefferson for H.. 80, when New
Orleans market was only 11.25.
On August 18th and Goth, 1912,
Jefferson paid II 1-2 cents for
cotton. These facts should be
an inducement and there is mt a
better trading point anywhere,
as the merchants here carry large
stocks of wares and merchandise
which they sell at a very close
margin and purchase from the
farmer his products, paying for
same the best market price.
These are the things which at
tract the farmers of Marion and
other counties to market their
cotton and other products here.
Jefferson has two cotton ware
houses which affords the farmer
every facility for marketing his
cotton and is weighed without
cost to him, as the buyer assums
this expense, and when the mar
ket is low and he wishes to store
Jefferson has three strong banks
with plenty of money to advance
the farmer, charging only a
small rate Of interest.

WILD FRUIT-On the hillsand

WILD FRUIT-On the hillsand
in the valleys surrounding jeff
erson and all over Marion coun-
ty can be found such wild
fruit as blackberry, dew
berry, huckelberry and plums,
which is always sure crop, and
brings much revinue to gather
ers of same and finds ready sale,
as but few homes here but what
put up jelly and jam from these
delicious berries, which cannot
be equaled anywhere, either for
cost or taste. In the early sum
mer we have the may haw, a
specie of berry known in but
few places, as it seems to be in
digenOus to but a very remote
part of East Texas. The may
haw is truly rare gift Of ma
ture, it would be impossible to
estimate the amount of jelly in
to which it is made, growing
wild in the woods free for any
one to gather, it places many
dollars into the poor mans poe
ket; go to any home in Jefferson
or Marion county and the good
lady will offer you may haw jelly
which in quality, taste and color
excelS any that is shipped here.

IRON OKE-This wonderful
and powerful resource is so ri
gantic that it is utterly impossi-
BILE for us to even estimate the
import mt part it will play in
the drvclopcment OF Jefferson
and Marion county. For years
the iron ore has peacefully slept
in the hills OF East Texas await
ing enterprise and capital to de-
velop it. it is easily accessible
with deposits commencing at
the grass roots and running
from four to twenty feet in thick
ness, can be found in inexhausti-
BILE quantities in Marion county.
The great Schwab Interests
have placed washers and crush
ers right in the ore fields, and
are shipping the raw material
to their furnaces in PennSylva-
MIA, which best bespeaks the
quality and value of this ore.
The pig iron made at the Jeffer-
son furnace has been tested and
it excels in quality and produc-
ton the Alabama or Pennsyl-
vania iron. and can be made at a
much less price; the iron ore OF
Marion county is known as the
brown henatite variety and can
be described as follows: nodgeu-
lar, georde and concretionary
and 10 better ore can be found
in the United States, the value
of it consists in the high metal
contents and the low sulphur
and phosphorus and the small
amount Of other insolubles: the
phosphorus contained is extreme
ly low running from DOB to OIL

Many a young wife. all unconscious
", places her husband in trying 20
sition by mourning expenditures quite
beyond his means. In many instances
the blame for this state of affairs Is
chargeable largely to the husband be-
cause of his failure to take his wife
into his confidence. Many home has
been wrecked or had its happiness
largely destroyed through failure on
the part of the husband to inform his
wife Of his exact financial status. 1t
is her right to know the volume Of the
income. If she does and is not willing
to cooperate in making both ends
meet, then the blame rests on herself.
A bill has been passed by both
houses of congress and has doubtless
ere this appears in print received the
signature of the president. which
makes some radical and much needed
changes in the national homestead laws.
In a general way the new law is pat
termed after the Canadian homestead
laws. which are said to have been re-
sponsible for much Of the emigration
from the United States to Canada. The
period the homesteader has to reside

his family are allowed to be away from
the claim five months during each
