Is positively the only line that runs Sleeping

great many Texan i aro not aware of the fact
tntt
Was the first railroad to cross the border of
Taxaa (from any direction) and push Into the
Interior and on to deep water on the Mexi-
can Oulf; but such was the case and It is a
fact that the KATT Is the first to get out of
the ruta and Improve Its facilities for hand-
ling paaaengera and freight. As the early
settlers moved from old log cabins to the
more comfortable and modernized houses,
so has the KATY advanced and moved her
naaaengers from Pullman Into Wagner Palace
sleepiug Cars, the finest sleeping "%r service
n the world
Another advance Is the introduction of the
AMKK1CAN KXPKBSS COMPANY to do the
express business of this company. The
above express company covers lines from
the Atlantic to the Gulf. and none stands
higher than the American.
The KATY reaches from Hannibal, north
of St. Louis and Kansas City, to Houston,
Texas, the head of water, over its own rails,
and passes through

HER PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The nejrro population of tlie
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
LAW 8.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
HOMESTEAD LAWS
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve-
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon . as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to
the value of any improvements
thereon. • • • *"
THE WAGES
of the laboring mau, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 10 of the con-
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of lius
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books lielonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for

cooke county.
Cooke is one of the northern tier
of counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory on
the north by Red river.
It is a splendid farming section
and is also well adapted to stock-
raising.
The soil of the county is about
equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water.
Red river borders the county on
the north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
It now has a population of per-
haps 30,000.
The assessed value of property
in 1893 was $7,909,050.
land.
Improved lands are worth from
£10 to £50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
education.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city of
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools run
on an average of six month each
year.

Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantial
bridges span all streams.
railroads.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad runs through the county
from east to west and the great
Santa Fe system runs through
from north to south.
A road is surveyed and will soon
be built from Gainesville north-
east to the coal mines at McAles-
ter, I. T.
gainesville,
The county site, is located on the
Elm fork of the Trinity, six miles
south of lied river. It has a popu-
lation of al>out 10,000, and is a
busy, hustling, growing place. It
has eleven churches, six splendid
brick school houses, two good
flouring mills, an ice factory, an
iron foundry, the shops of the
Santa Fe railroad, a cotton com-
press, a broom factory, soap fac-
tory, cotton seed oil mills,
pressed brick works turning
out splendid brick, four
newspapers, three banks with a
capital and surplus of $650,000,
and various other enterprises.
It is a live place and men with
money or muscle can do no better
than to cast their lots here.
