This was apropos OF my opinion or

The women who 60 to the Ritz-Carl-

OF any class. They are the wives.
mothers and sweethearts Of men OF
wealth and position and yet this Is
the one place In New York where
women can and do smoke In public.
Dick expected me to be shocked, espe-
cially after what had said about
The Foliies."
But l refused to be shocked and an
swered: Il can't understand, Dick,
why you think 1t is morally wrong
for a woman to smoke a cigarette and
all right for her to drink a cocktail.

shock you.

her quite as much as smoking TO ex-

"All over the country nowadays q

The Wearing Qualities of

In all our advertising 1t Is our aim
to state clearly the facts, to call a
spade a spade. We don't try TO
deceive you into thinking that
these rockers are upholstered In

that the upholstering Is OF imita-

and just as honestly do we state
that this imitation leather fabric

In the mild climate Of Jeffer-
son and Marion county We have
no extremes Of either cold or
heat. 1t makes no difference
what month the homeseekers
reaches here, he can have green
vegetables from his soil in from
80 to 40 days. The climate is
such that farming outdoors may
be carried on every day in the
year.
We have abundance of rainfall
and plenty of moisture, and it
requires but little cost to con-
serve the moisture. in the soil in
sufficient quantities to meet the
requirements of all crops. This
soil is capable Of producing a
great variety of crops. Corn
and cotton are always n sure
crop here and never known to
make failurs; fruits, such as
apples. pears, peaches, plums
figs, Strawberries, blackberries,
craps and scuppernongs. For
the growing of such vegetables
as Irish and sweet potatoes,
beans, turnips, cabbage, beets,
tomatoes, PUMPKINS, watermelons
and canteloupcs our lands are
best adapted.
Our lands are adapted for a
large line OF forage crops, such
as sorghum, millet, oats, COW
peas and stock peas, peanuts and
Bermuda hay, and any section of
country where SO many feed
crops can be so cheaply produced
is a country for great profit in
live. stock.
This country, on account OF its
pastures and running branches,
it's, grazing hills and fertile bot
toms, is a great country tor cat
tie to thrive and offers great OPP
portunity for dairying, There
is q ready market in Jefferson
for all that can be produced
from dairy industry, and the
laborers in the sawmills and tie
camps would easily consume the
greater part Of what could be
produced on the farm dairy The
lands are to great extent owned
in large tracts, but the owners
are anxious to cut up these into
smaller farms and sell these
farms TO actual settlers who will
live on the farms and cultivate
them. Good farmers are badly
needed in all parts of Texas.

JEFFERSON, Tex, jan, ..
Jefferson wants to secure an
oil mill, and offers finest advant-
ages First, we have a river
which has the very best water
for boilers and manufacturing
purposes, and we have the
Texas & Pacific, Missouri, Kan
sas g. Texas, Jefferson g. North
western railroads, which afford
every facility for bringing seed
to the mill and shipping the pro
duct of the mill. An oil mill here
would bring a feeding pen to
fatten cattle, and we have fine
pastures and pens, with the river
all along the. pens where stock
can get water at any time.
A mill here would command
all the seed from the Jefferson
& Northwestern Railroad, and,
with a buyer at Linden, the ter.
minus of the road, could easily
get all the seed from that point.
We could easily get all the seed
to run four or six press mill
the full time during the season.
Our people want a mill here,
and are willing To cooperate
and encourage it. The Jefferson
Progressive Club will donate the
buildings.
would like TO be put in touch
with oil mill promoters, for we
have the best and most reason.

Dear old Texas friends.
That unlucky number is upon
us. Let us look well to our sur
roundings, but never worry
about the bridges we have to
cross in life's journey until we
reach them. and maybe we can
then see a way around them, if
they are impossible, we'll eat,
drink and be merry just the
same, for all troubles may end
tomorrow. If you folks over in
Gods country have found bet
ter way, let your brothers over
here know. We want the best
of everything that can be had.
So far as | can see the people
here are mostly from Missouri,
Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee
and the two Virginias; the Yam
KEGS are mostly in Los Angeles;
Texans scattered everywhere.
All countries need them, so they
are not thick anywere west. Peo-
pie think that Arizona cowboy in
the senate herd is likely to shake
them up. They say he is honest.
Amt it remarkable how got
there? I won't say much till
after l get the big fellows mes
sage in my craw.
I'm working at Cousin Hiram's
now. They bank a heap on him
around here in the shade Of the
hills. l don't know how it will
be since the snow storm fell
night before last. 1t measured
ten inches an a level. Snow has
been in sight all summer
If Red Echols was here with
his dog he would have some rare
fun. He can tell you what my re-
putation is.
1t is a little over year since |
left you, and | have been in New
Mexico, Arizona, Califor n a,
Oregon, Washington. This far
on my way back, worked and
mingled with working men,
mostly mechanics. Had | not
seen them / could not have be-
lieved that there was such an
army Of intelligent, willing work
ers, for two years before spent
in Mexico, the poems condition
was deplorable, as | told you.
Cline and all things considered.
| can't see that our conditions
differ greatly. For nine months
that | have been n the north
end of the Southern Pacific r. r
There are two trains that are
supposed to stop only at divis-
ions for changing engines or to
let some high grade passenger
get off at his estate or holding,
and possibly to note the suffi
cheney of white slaves. And
from condition similar to this,
Mexico has passed into revolu-
ton. Shall we, eating the same
food, breathing the same air,
meet a like fate? AS / see the
yellow race around me, | think
is the prophesy Of our foreign
sister to be a reality? Is their
tramp to shake the American
continent?
Let us be merry by eating and
drinking.
