Not yet having procured a convey
ance to make my usual trips, and
longing to meet my friends once
more over the county and get an
other good dinner, | boarded the
Brazos Valley train and was soon at
BardWell, where the Methodist dis
trict conference was in session. After
the IL O'Clock sermon, the good
ladies Of Bardwelr and community
arranged d splendid dinner outside
the church and they saw was scry-
ed a plenty of the we'll prepared eat
ables. Bardwell is IA splendid and
fast growing town and he" citizen
ship up with the times. While at
Bardwell enrolled B. NJ Venable,
a good friend OF the paper, on the
list of subscribers, also Chas. y.
Pigg. who has recently opened a
garage at BardWell, saying he wanted
The news. | next saw ]. A. Howard,
the blacksmith and garage man, and
got his renewal. Next to get on the
list was j. n. German, Il merchants.
Accepting ride from ton. j. NJ. Al
derdice in his car | soon arrived
back in Waxahachie. AT the con
ference Mr.. hldCrfic9 was elected
district lay leader.
The big financiers may think they
know it all, in looking far into the
future, but | learn from the farmers
that A. N. Browning, of WaXahachie,
q nephew of the big hearted Jim
Davis. beats them all when it comes
to looking far into the future on
cotton. When cotton got down to
six cents last year, I heard some of
them say Mr.. Browning had advance
ed a margin to his tenants, thus en-
abling them to hold their cotton ano
then had it stored in a warehouse for
better prices His tenants made four
hundred and fifty bales of cotton
and it since has all been sold, eX-
eepting seventy-fiye bales, ranging
in price from cents to $50 cents
per pound. 1t takes no mathemati-
clan 10 calculate the great profit
made for tenants by Mr.. Browning
holding their cotton for them. Here
in lies big secret for other to fol
low the example of this successful
manager Mr., Browning has uE Ter
his supervision four thousand acres
OF land All the tenants are furnish
ed neat. comfortable homes. which
+ necessary adjunct in securing
the best of tenants. dare say with
out an exception, on this vast estate,
there is not a family but that Is a

Ter Mr. Browning Here is a imam
