The Englishman pondered for sew
eral days, for he wished to be up to

In day or two the chance present

the Englishmans hand cordially.
"How's the boy" said the American
as he pump-handled the Britisher's

DIR, R, H. BOYD'S ADDRESS
Continued from Page |.

Allow me here to throw in little
Texas anecdote. 1t is said that soon
after the war an old-time, common
sense Negro living down on the farm
but who had learned to real little
having a hard time, crops had failed,
merchants were refusing to furnish,
he looked around over the door Of
the blacksmith shop and saw That
the shop was owned Or run by Bill
Jones & Co. Going up to the grocery
store, he found that it was run by
John Williams 4 Co. Going to the
dry goods store he saw that was run
by Jack Jones & Co. Mounting his
old mule and going back to the farm,
he called in a few of the other
tenants on the farm and said to
them, Boys, let's go to town and
make the acquaintance of Mr.. Co.,
and have some land of our own"
They inquired of him to know who
was Mr.. Co. He said he did not
know the gentleman personally, but
certainly he was the best friend that
the town people had, for he was
helping to furnish the means to run
every shop and every store in town,
, and he was sure that if they could
get acquainted with him, the good
man would help them buy some land
of their own. The next Saturday his
ether three companions accompanied
him to town, going up to the black
smith, he inquired of him to know if
he could tell him where Mr.. Co.
lived. The blacksmith was astonish-
ed and sent him over to the dry
goods store where the post Office
was. He inquired of the store keeper
and postmaster if they could tell
him where Mr.. Co. lived. He pointed
to the sign over the door and said
This man seems to be helping every
man in town." The old gentleman
and his friends were informed that
that was John Smith and Company
and that a number Of men were

. their energy and their labor together
