Why Go to the University Of Texas?

In the first place, the Uuiver.
slty Of Texas is the States own
provision for its youth, contem-
plated from the foundation of
the government, established by
its organic law, maintained by
Legislative grants crown Of
its system of education, like all
its schools, free Of charge for
tuition.
There are larger and more III
nous universities in this country
than the University Of Texas.
For example, Harvard, Wiscon-
sin, California have each a larger
attendance, larger faculty and
more buildings now than the
the University of Texas. But
each is far away from Texas, It's
environment is different from
that to which the Texas boy and
girl are accustomed, and the ex.
penses involved in a year at any
OF them is materially greater
than that of a year in the Uni
versity Of Texas.
The University OF Texas
stands superior when compared
with the other southerand south
western colleges and universe
ties. Not one Of then has SO
many students, SO large q facul
ty, SO good library, or so valua
bic buildings and equipment.
TO a man or woman who ex
poets to live in Texas, there is
q great gain in being educated
in Texas. 1t gives a knowledge
the States history, of the char
acter of it's people, Of the condi
tons of its life that are necessa
ry to success in Texas. 1t gives
further q wide acquaintance
with the best classes OF people
from all over the State that
throughout life is an unfail-
ing source of pleasure and help.
A famous Southern Senator used
to declare that the thing that
had been of most benefit to him
in all his life was the fact that he
had been a student of the univer-
sity of his State. Another South
.ern man, one Of our ministers
abroad, declared that though he
had Il full course at loading
Northern University and long
years of travel abroad, he would
give it all for q degree in his
State university.

Every Time You Take This Powerful
Drug You are in Danger. Take

Calomel is made from murcu-
ry, and while murcury has many
uses, it is II dangerous thing to
swallow. If calomel stays in the
system very long it salivates.
Even when it works natural, its
after effects are often bad.

icine called Dodson's Liver Tone
which is positively guaranteed
to take the place of calomel, 1t
stimulates the liver just enough
to start it working, and does not
make you sicker than ever-as
calomel often does. Dodson 8
Liver Tone won't force you to

EAST texas IRON ORES.
Interest Of Big Capital in Developing
the Resources.
Especial Cor. Manufacturers Record
jefferson, Tex, July :.

Jefferson, Tex, July s.
There is just now quite a race
between several large moneyed
interests of Texas, Pennsylvania
st. Louis and some other places
for ownership of the iron ore
lands in Marion, Cass and some
of the adjoining counties of East
Texas. 1t is not many years
since the old, dry looking hills
here were not considered OF
much value, but the enterprising
iron man got peep into this
section and found some good iron
ores and came and invested. But
usually he was too light of peck
ct, and sometimes too light in
experience and executive ability
to make the thing go. But by
and by big capital got "a scent of
the good quality of this iron ore,
and, after having experts test it
and having some of it shipped
East and given practical dem
onstration, big capital decided il
was good enough to own with its
money, and SO big capital set
men to work to gather it all in
at very low prices. They sue
seeded in gathering in many
thousands of acres. But, now
that the big capital has scented
the good grade OF ore, compe.
tition is quite likely, and while
prices are yet low for such valu-
able ore lands, they are about
four times the prices paid a few
years ago. Prices will continue
to go up as the merits OF Texas
iron ores become better known
among the iron people.
Ten dollars to Sl5 per acre for
iron ore lands that produce ore
that yields 30 to 60 per cent.
metallic iron is very cheap and
the folks that are buying it no
doubt smile each time they close
the records on such purchases.
But our folks are not unlike PEG
pie in other places. They
will not know the real val
Ges they owned in the ore lands
until the other fellow gets them
and goes to manufacturing and
making wealth.
Marion county has under con
temptation the moving of a brick
court house for a distance of
about three-fourths of Il mile
without tearing it down, if they
can make satisfactory contract
with responsible people to have
it done. Otherwise, the county
will rebuild the present one or a
new one. Four new two-story
brick buildings now going up in
the town, and other improve
ments are under contemplation
Jefferson and Marion county are
making more progress than for
many years. The Government
is now having a dam built about
30 miles East of Jefferson at the
foot of Albany Flats, and when
completed it will afford perma-
nent navigation TO Jefferson and
make Jefferson distributing
point for all East and Northeast
Texas, bringing many wholesale
and jobbing houses to this town.
