C. A. WORTHINGTON, Cashier
Megargel, Tex., Nov. 8.-—Every-
body is so busy picking cotton
that they would very often for-
get to go to dinner if it was not
for the twelve o’clock whistle to
remind them.
One of our gins has already
ginned yl500 bales and they cal-
culate on getting 1000 more by
thee end of the season.
All the farmers seem to be in
better spirits than they were, the
price of cotton being some higher.
We are sorry to say that one of
the Crockwell boys who was op-
erated on two or three weeks ago
died last Tuesday at three o’clock
The operatioon was for appende-
citis.
We regret to say thaat Mr .Pool
left us for Tell, Texas, this morn-
ing. We hope the very best of
luck will be his reward.
Mr. A. J. Bryson from Graham
came up yesterday to put in a
boiler for the unright gin.
The party at Mr. Connell’s was
well attended last Saturday night
Come on aall you correspond-
ents. I like to read your letters.
Bestt regards to the Gazette
and its readers.

highway with distinctive trees.
New Jersey will employ fruit
trees; Pennsylvania will use dec-
orative planting of laurel and
vines; in the prairie States of
the Middle West the prairie rose
will be employed. At Lincoln’s
home in Springfield, 111., an old
rosebush was found; this, with
fringe tree and mock orange,
will be used in groups. The Uni-
versity of Illinois will plant a
milt of the distance with plants
aectually associated wdth the Lin-
coln insignia. Every school
house will have an elm budded
from the stock of the last elm
connected with Lincoln’s life. In
Nebraska shade trees will be
planted, 200 feet apart, on both
sides of the road. There will be
ornamental trees of shrubbery
between the shade trees. In Utah
where the road skirts the desert,
varieties of the cactus may be
;Used. The idea is that each
State shall carry out an original
design, employing as far as possi-
ble, trees and plants indigenous
to that State.
Tlrs Lincoln Highway will uni-
jfy our diversied country. It will
| also stimulate the making of oth-
er good roads, and will thus be
! a mighty force for civilization,
| education and religion. Thus,
once again it will be shown, as
was said at the beginning of this
article, that the condition of thee
roads of a country correspond to
the degree of the civilization of
that country.—Robert Stuart Mac
Arthur.
Ra-Opening the Channels of Trade
After lengthy negotiations be-
tween diplomats of this nation ant
England, it is announced that
American shippers can now send
cotton to Germany and Austria
without interference from Great
Britain. Following this announce-
ment, a number of foreign steam-
ers cleared the port of Galveston
with cargoes of cotton bound for
the belligerent countries and
many more will sail at an early
date.
Germany and Austria have an-
nounced through their representa-
Fire is devastation and destruc-
tion.
Faith without work does not
stand very high in the estimation
of the people, as a whole.
Just wishing that war may be
averted will not avert war.
Merely wishing that destroying
fires will not visit your town will
not prevent a conflagration.
Back your wishes with your
judgment and sustain that judg
ment with your efforts.
