McKinney and Collin prosper-
ity is now on the up-grade.
The rain was general through-
out Texas and the Territory.
Sunshine, singing birds, burst-
ing buds and gladsome hearts will
soon prevail.
Those who voted for peace,
prosperity, law and order have a
chance to prove their sincerity.
The Southei n Pacific railroad is
building a bridge fifty miles long
across Great Salt Lake in Utah.
The first twelve miles will bo ov-
er water 6 to 8 feet deep and the
balance will be 40 feet deep.
The citizens of McKinney are
receiving congratnlations from all
parts of the state an the great
prohibition victory. One promi-
nent maq writes Eld. R. R. Ham-
lin: "Collin county 'takes the
cake,' and ought to have anything
that she asks for."
J. D. COTTRELL.
J. D. Cottrell has just returned
from a trip over the county and
has found his prospects brighter
all over the county than he had
anticipated. In some portions of
the county where there is a pro-
spect of other candidates he has
found the most influential and ar-
dent supporters. Never in the
history of Piano has she been rep-
resented in the legislature, not
withstanding the fact that when
there is a need of a democratic
majority they safely rely on Piano
to roll it up, and she always
comes.
It is a long lane that has no
turn. We have assisted our sitter
cities long enough. We now ask
them to help us elect our young
and aspiring attorney, who is a
peer to any in the field. His per
nonel influence and legal ability
will have great influence on the
law making body of our great
empire slate. They need him.
Come out and by your vote let's
send him —Piano Courier.

For County Attorney.
In our announcement column
this week is found the name ot
George Hardin candidate for
county attorney subject to the
action of the democratic party.
Mr. Hardin is an able lawyer and
seeks the office with the promise
that he will earnestly, conscienti-
ously and vigorously perform its
duties- enforce tho law without
fear or lavor impartially to the
best interests of all. Mr. llardin
is strong in the democratic faith
yet libeial in his views and court-
eous with al! opponents.
During the heat and passion of
tho past conflicts in Collin county
he always counciled moderation
and sought to unite tho democra-
cy. He asks the voters of Collin
county to consider his claims in
the coming primaries and if pos-
sible to cast their votes for nun
for county attorney. He lives in
the city of Farmersvillo.
J. P. Morrow of Cullcokn gave
us a pleasant call to renew for
his subscription.

THIRD SHORTEST SEASON SINCE
MILL BEOAN OPERATION NINE
YEARS AOO.
Tho McKinney Cotton Oil Mill
closed down last Monday for the
season of 1901-02 after a five
months' run. It is the third
shortest run since it began opera-
tion 9years ago, and was rather an
unsatisfactory Beason all the way
through. 5900 tons of scod was
bought at an average price of
about $18 per ton, and yielded
about 33 gallons of oil to ton,
which is liye gallons short of tho
yield for an ordiuary year.
The mill had less bulls, meal
and linters on hand at the close
this season than ever before. The
demand for hulls for feed, espec-
ially on the part of tho tanners,
was enormous. The mill made
a fine running record this
season, boing shut down only ten
days during the time, and only
six hours for break downs.
For a number of years the ma-
chinery has been under tho super-
inteudancy of F. P. Brooks one
of tho best eugineors in tho coun-
ty:
For four seasons the office af-
fairs have been in the hands of
Arthur E. Smith who can master
more work than any man in Mc-
Kinney. He has a wonderful
tact at business management and
knows jnst how to handle tho
public. Ho is always jolly and jo-
vial, and never gets mad. He has
served the company well, watch-
ing with keen thought their every
interest, and the success of tho
mill is due largely to his untiring
energy and efforts.
The Oil Mill furnisnes work to
more than forty men for at least
six months in the year on an av-
erage.
