McKinney will 'ere long get a
road from McKinney west. When
it is accomplished there will be a
great change in commercial cir-
cles.
The much dreaded cotton boll
weevil is said to be traveling east.
It has appeared in Mississippi
causing consternation among
planters.
Now is the time to have the an-
nual picnic. Other places having
held their picnics and farmers be-
ing through with their work, a
big attendance is most probable.
Has McKinney let all the goM-
en opportunities pass? We think
not. Other railroads are to be
built and many improvements
could be added to our city that
would prove inviting to traders.
What has become of McKin-
ney's annual plCnic? There is
over $100 left in the treasury
from last year. Let U9 have the
picnic. The work season is over,
other picnics have about all been
held. Now is the time.
The question with the salaried
employe should be "What can I
do for my employer?" not merely
"What must I do?" One will
never come to bo a partner unless
he knows the business of his de-
partment far better than tho own-
ers possibly can.—Andrew Carne-
gie. r=;r^s;===!g^^

"We should put all our eggs in
one basket and then watch that
basket. He who carries three
baskets must carry one on his
head, and this one is apt to tum-
ble off and trip him up. One
fault of the American business
man is lack of concentration."—
Andrew Carnegie.
Among tho many other Root
things too numerous to mention,
Collin county enjoys the distinc
tion of two important things.
The little town of Princeton just
east of McKinney, ships more
Bois d'arc timber than any point
in the world; and B. C. Barrier of
Wytie is the youngest bank pres-
ident in the world—Piano Star.
This handsome tonsonal eni-
Sorium has just been fitted up by
ichardson & Lewis one door
west of Stiff Dry Goods Co. on
north side ot the square. They
have commodious apartments and
bath service complete. Give them
a call.
Capt. J. S. Dowell is just in re-
ceipt of a Shropshire male lamb
from John Hitcheock & Son near
Rockford, III. It is a fine speci-
men of which Mr. Dowell is very
proud. He paid $50 for it. This
importation of blooded sheep by
Collin county stockmen is of
much importance and will be of
much value in tho future.
Long Hair
"About a year ago my hair was
coming out very fast, so I bought
a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor. It
stopped the falling and made mv
hair grow very rapidly, until now it
is 45 inches in length." —Mrs. A.
Boydston, Atchison, Kans.
There's another hunger
than that of the stomach.
Hair hunger, for instance.
Hungry hairneeds food,
needs hair vigor—Ayer's.
This is why we say that
Ayer's Hair Vigor always
restores color, and makes
the hair grow long and
heavy, ii.m ■ mm*.
