J. M. Alderdice caine bere as a
: school teacher and without means.
To become a fixture he soon married
a Texas girl but had to borrow $4°
| to defray wedding expenses. Spent
the last $G of this for a bolt of do-
| mestic his young wife had told him
j to buy she not knowing of his
moneyless condition. Sold books
hut did not have money to pa> the
express on his order but the agent
allowed him to take two of the books
out to deliver them to get money 'o
pay the express. Bought his first
little home at Ml. Peak; bought on
credit one-half interest in store
j there and exchanged I.Mat as part
j payment on a farm. If" now owns
j 14 0(1 acres. He has been one of
our finest school men and lawmak-
ers and there is still a great future
I for his.
A. A. Johnson of Lone Klin said!
lie reached Waxahachie with but a I
j lew dollars in his pocket nnd with. !
j family to support. lie now ownsj
j a big farm and lives at home.
I It was a rare treat to hear R. K.1
Minwjn who owns 1.8(H) acres of this!
j ri« !» dirt besides other property. t«• 11
of how he worked back in Tennessee
jat Jf 1 ~ per month saved un enough
to pay his way to Texas and had
$ 1 ho in his purse when he reached
here. How he had trudged across
the country with his belongings on
his back hunting work reaching
the Singleton borne near Mt. Peak
at nightfall and how a certain
young lady in that home asked her
parents not to take in that tramp
said young lady now being his
wife. He worked as a hired hand
saved his money bought oxen and
mules with which he broke land and j
made good money.
W. A Few had worked a.; a hired
hand for R. K. Krwin. Always had
a determination to own his home and
become his own boss. He now live*-:
j in a fine residence on his big farm
near Midlothian.
J. P. Ballew was repeatedly called
for. He said he reached Waxahachie
I without decent wearing apparel and
! with a family to support. Felt proud
when he borrowed money a ltd bought
an un laundered shirt to wear. Rent-
ed from .Jot* Singleton nine years and
seven years as a share cropper. Said
no man ever had a better land-
lord. better neighbors and business
men to deal with. Of course he has j
to his credit now a big farm and
as some one said in meeting a !
brand new up-to-date residence and
that he could hardly keep still when
at home—- he was so proud of it.
It was interesting to hear Wm. j
Stroud tell of his hardships and j
struggles but he now owns L\800
acres of land and most of it in Kl-1
lis county.
('has. Davis is one of the younger
reuters coming hero from tho hills
of Georgia and without n dollar to
his credit. Ho now owns a gin and
• no of (lie best farms in the count)
near Ike. Cha.s Davis. J. I' llallew
and Ohas. Windom will soon furnish
Farm and Kanch with pictures of
their homes and a write-up under
tho head of "How I Paid for My
Homo." This was a request of the
meeting.
J. C. Tate of Forreston said of
course he had always had easy sail-
ing (?). Little by little he had
added on to his land purchases un-
til now he is numbered with the big
home owners of the county.
I Zim Martin of l^ed Oak made a
| good speech and said he was paying
for Ills home and did not think Kllis
county renters should be compared
with sorry renters of other places.
Monroe Nelson said he had 1000
acres in his homo and while paying
for his ffirst farm he always asked
| his wife when they got to town what
she had to have and not what she
wanted. In paying for his home he
always found time to attend religi-
ous services.
T. B. Jackson is an old-timer hav-
ing come here in 1853 and knew
what It was to live In a house with
puncheon floors and the only light a
tallow dip candle lie had broken
raw prairie and had many hardships
incident to pioneer life. He now owns
1400 acres of land. It must be re-
membered thp\ he found time to
serve four years in the defense ol
his country.
What a treat many missed by not
hearing these men who had as hard j
struggles in paying for their hornet |
as those hoys had in trying to climb j
tlie greased polo. While no reso-j
jlutions were passed it was the con-1
Isensus of opinion that if left with- j

of town Saturday afternoon L<> poi
! a big J. 1. Case motor tractor at j
! work. R. H. Finch er of the F. >'•. j
Cronk company and another ex- j
pert were operating the big nans j
plow and it worked so nicely that j
the newspaper men. after making ;«
round on the plow wanted to t »r- I
sake their profession and turn farvi- !
ers but Mr. Gibson had a full <-re.v[
and they didn't land the job. This |
plow is pulled by a 12-25 horse j
power motor and the six discs a'-}
tached cuts a live foot strip ever; j
I round. It is estimated that ;
twelve acres of land may be turne I i
I in a day with this machine. Anot! j
| er advantage of the bi>? plow is that j
I it cuts to a depth of from s to 1j
I inches and turns the soil upside '
j down.
Mr. Gibson has only a small acre-
age to turn now but he expects to j
make use of the big plow this sum-
mer In turning under his stubble j
Ho has about 265 acres of grain i
planted and he expects to plow this |
land soon after the grain crop is !
harvested. In all he has more than i
800 acres in the big farm but a con-1
siderable portion w ill be planted to I
corn and cotton.
The motor at the draw bar is 11'j
horse power and at the belt is 2 5'
; horse power. Mr. Gibson expects to1
use the motor to operati his thresh-
er. He says il will certainly sa"e
him money to use the big plow. It;
is estimated that the operating e\-j
penses will be $6.00 a day inc'u'!-t
