I. O. O. F. ORPHANS’ HOME.
We are advised that the city of Sul-
phur Springs can secure this home if
the citizens will contribute $50,000 and
JOO acres of land within two miles of
The city.
This is a gigantic enterprise and
means more to the advantage, growth
and permanent prosperity of our city
than anything else that has ever come
our way. The Texas Odd Fellows
propose to invest $300,000 in buildings
$nd grounds for Home No. 2 of This
reat fraternal order, which will stand
an everlasting monument to this
Maternity, as well as the pluck, thrift
and enterprise of the city, who secures
it.
What advantage will it be to our
city and people? Let us see:
The I. O. O. F. will turn loose $300,-
000 in money here for buildings and
grounds. $200,000 of this amount will
be spent for labor and material in Sul-
phur Springs. What do we give up?
$50,000. What do we get in return?
$200,000. Will the people of Sulphur
Springs give $50,000 for $200,000? Re-
member.' this brings $250,000 foreign
money to our town. Every dollar that
comes to Sulphur Springs will benefit
Hopkins county mote or less, either
directly or indirectly and every citi-
zen thereof in the same way.
Aside from the above, sooner or la^-
er, several hundred widow's and or-
phans, with schools for the education
of the orphans, will be established in
this home. This means an expendi-
ture of .vast sums of money for the
maintenance of this home in the way
of feed, clothing and the salary of the
teachers, matrons, etc. No doubt from
the beginning, this home will have a
monthly pay roll for food, clothing and
managers’ and teachers’ salaries of
several thousand' dollars, which Will
become larger and larger as the age of
the institution increases ’til, sooner or
later, it will be the most prolific source
of revenue tiopkins county has ever
had, or ever will have.
We now have only a limited time to
make up our minds as to what we are
going to do about it, and what is done
must he done quickly. What ARE we
going to do about it?
Optimism and success go hand in
hand. Success can neither be patented
or copyrighted. In this progressive
age there is no place for the moss-
back or the sluggard. If‘we win, we
must fight and fight furiously.
We must run,' and run swiftly, if we
would win the battle or the race today.
Who will give $1,000 to this great en-
terprise? CONTRIBUTED.
Chairman Wilcox of the Pros of
Collin county has filed his report of
the campaign expense in Collin county
showing it to be $250.
PRACTICAL JOKE NEARLY KILLS.
At Cottage Bend last Wednesday,
a practical joke was played which,
nearly ended fdtally. While A. M.
Garner was at prayer meeting service,
Mrs. Garner, who Is deaf, thought
she would play a practical joke upon
her two daughters. She put on man’s
clothes, and attired as a tramp, came
up toward the house. The girls did
not recognize that it was a disguise
and ordered her to stop. She did not
stop, but kept coming. The girls got
their father’s 44 and told the supposed
tramp that they would shoot if he
came any nearer. The mother, being
deaf, did not heed their warning but
kept on coming nearer.
The daughter, thinking she was pro-
tecting herself and sister against an
attack by some villianous marauder,
raised her weapon and fired. The bul-
let fell somewhat shy of its mark and,
luckily only grazed her mother’s side,
although it completely pierced her
clothing.
Mr. Garner was immediately sent
for, and when the truth was learded
by all concerned, the shock wi@i
great upon the nerves of
that a collapse
they have not yet fully

Clerks of Tarrant and Harris counties

“In addition to the above there are
a few bills that will likely come to
the Houston office for publishing offi-
cial statements and a few sundry ac-
counts that will probably aggregate
$300, and there are funds in sight in
addition to that shown above that will
pi-obably be sufficient to pay divi-
dends.
“The expense of $418 dollars shown
above for rental of and service at the
auditorium at Houston was incurred
for state speakers and was paid by the
state committee with funds paid in by
citizens of Houston and is included in
the above receipts.
“I, Thof. H. Ball, on oath depose
and say that the report furnished from
the records of the Houston office as
mentioned above, showing the amount
of receipts and disbursements, is true
and correct to the best of my know-
ledge and belief, and A W. Walker,
on oath, deposes and says that the re-
ports of the receipts and expenditures
from the Fort Worth headquarters are
true and correct to the best of my
knowledge and belief, but out of the
amount collected and disbursed by the
Fort Worth he^quarters there were
paid for county expenses for Tarrant
county, Texas, exclusive of the said
work the sum of not less1 than $1,500,
which should be deducted from the
above amount received and disbursed,
thu£ reducing the actual expenditures
for saiu purpose to $17,062.15.
“All of the receipts came from citi-
zens of Texas except $4 from Shreve-
port, La., and $6 from a citizen of Tex-
as, temporararily residing in Los An-
geles, Cal., the largest contribution be-
ing $350, and the smallest 5c. No cor-
poration contributed a single cent to
our campaign funds.

“Chairman State-wide Prohibition
Amendment Association.
“A. W. WALKER,
“Vice Chairman State-wide Prohibition
Amendment Association.
