duces that no buyer can be found,
it is needless to look elsewhere in

competition always resulting from
many buvers, and in all line- of

a desirable trading point for
farmers. Come to McKinney

for your wheat, oats, corn, cotton,
or any other produce and where
you can buy groceries, dry goods,
and all things needful to a thrifty
people at tne very lowest notch!

Oftentiuie- I have seen a tall

an invisible bowline with a hun-

sails unfilled, her streamers
drooping, she had neither side-
wheel nor serene triumph, as
with her own life. But I knew
that on the other side of the
great ship, hidden beneath the
great bulk that swam so majes-
tically there was a little toilsome
steam tug with a heart of fire
ami arms of iron, that was tug-
ging it bravely on. and I knew
that if the little steam tug un-
twined her arms and left the ship
it would wallow and roll about
and drift hither and thither and
go off with the refluent tide no
man knows whither. And so I i

There is a beautiful eastern story
of a child walking beside the sea
who saw a bright spangle lyiug in
the sand. She stooped down and
picked it up and found it attached
to a fine thread of gold. As she
drew it out of the sand there wore
other bright spangles on it. She
drew up the gold thread, and
wound it around her head, her
arms and her body until she was
covered from bead to foot with
the bright threads of gold and
sparkled with the brilliance of the
silver spangles. So it is when we
lift out of God's word an orna-
ment of beauty to pat into oar
;:w
no reason to suppose it
! was not just as representive of
| the whole vote of the state as if
it had all been cast. If the peo-
ple are awakening to the evils of
a policy that advocates "eredit-
and-contidence"' as what we
want, and the launching upon an
era of prosperity on bonded
wealth to 1 ? confiscated when
pay day comes, precipitating
panic with all its terrors at regu-
lar periods, it is an omen for
good ami leads one to hope for
the success of popular govern-
ment in spite of demagogues and
a subsidized metropolitan press,
whose influence is almost wholly
on the side of capital and wealth
acquired, and against its creators.
