BIIP Collectors' Woe.
Bill collectors report an unusually
hard time this month. The tirt day
of the month is seldom a good day ns
most business men are too bu.v -t:
ting out their accounts to attend 10
the collector's wants. The pttoond
day which was the third of the Mionth.
was election day and the banks were
closed making collections slow Wed-
nesday every one was Interested in:
the elction returns more than in pay-
ing debts. Yesterday the town was
almost depopulated by the San An-
gelo and Brady fairs. and today those
who were out of town yesterday are
feeling the effects of their dissipation
to such an extent that most of them!
are still at their homes. Added to all
this the hunting season opened Mon-
day and many are out with dogs and
guns oblivious to the fact that they
have unsettled bills. Collectors say
that those whom they 'are able to run
down pay up pretty well but that's
the rub they're hard to catch.

COTTON GROWING
AROUND ROCHELLE
Colonel Billy Drake Brisks Back
a
Great Report of Cotton
Grewlng.
W. B. Drake vice president of the
Frisco is back from a pleasant trip
to Rochelle on thf Brady extension.
According to Mr. Drake the country
around Rochelle Is one great big mass
of prosperity.
"I saw one field of 160 acres of
cotton" said Mr. Drake "from- which
the . owner on the first picking got a
quarter bale to the acre from the
second picking an even bale to the
acre and there Is still left from one-
fifth to one-seventh of a bale to the
acre In the field.
"This comes very nearly being about
the best yield of cotton I have run
across this year. Incidentally I may
say that the merchants at Rochelle
are now receiving heavier shipments
of goods by nearly 100 per cent than
has ever before been the case while
the outgoing tonnage from that place
makes me believe that Rochelle has
a splendid future." Fort Worth Tele-
gram. Mrs. Fay R. Looney Is spending a
few days atBrady this week the guest

after returning on the belated train
from San Angelo before she began to
gather a crowd of "boosters" to go
with her to Brady tomorrow to' attend

those taking part in tho "boosting
campaign" of yesterday. Tho train

rate Is so reasonable everyone can
afford to go. She advises that car-
nival "boosters" should by all means
mention the Tuberculosis exhibit
which is to be here during tho carni-

WILL USE WINDMILLS
.TO PUMP OIL WELLS
Scharresbeck Will Begin Boris? Num-
ber of New Wells After
January 1st
G. W. Sharrenbeck went to Dallas
last week In Interest of the output of
the Scharrenbeck oil wells and says
he received much encouragement and
will at once begin to erect windmills
to pump the wells. One well now
produces five gallons per day and an-
other produces from ten to fifteen gal-
lons per day when balled. With wind-
mills he thinks the wells may be made
to produce from ten to twenty-five
gallons per day with comparatively no
expense.
After the first of January Mr.
Scharrenbeck says his company ex-
pects to begin boring a number of
new wells and they are confident that
they can make It a paying proposi-
tion. COTTON RECEIPTS RECORD

COLLIN COUNTY MAN
SELLING ONIONS HERE
J. S. Dickey Says Thoasands of Acres
of vOaloas Were AHewei te Rot
Jh the Ffelis There.
Mr. J. S. Dickey of Colllnsville.
Texas who formerly lived here Is in
town with a car load of Collin county
prizetaker onions for sale. Mr. Dick-
ey said that Immense quantities of
onions were grown In Collin county
this year and that the farmers hav-
ing no marketing plans perfected lost
great quantities of them. Some re-
ports say that as many as 20000 acres
Of onions were grown this year that
when they were thrown on .the market
they went begging at 20 cents a bush-
el. Many farmers pulled tho onions
In June and piled them In rows leav-
ing them to take the sun and rain.
After heavy rains they would go
through the fields and turn the onions
over to keep them from taking root
and growing again but in spite of all
this thousands of bushels rotted in
the fields or sprouted again and went
to waste. Mr. Dickey stated how-
ever that the -few who took good care
of their onions are getting a -fair
price for them n.ow but mdst farm-
ers did not have the barn room to do
this. He also stated that onions at
50 cents a bushel prove a better crop
than cotton and with the proper or-
ganization better methods of hand-
ling and some system In marketing
the onion growing may yet become
a great industry In that section of
the state.

DEATH OF WELL-KNOWN
YOUNG MAN AT VERNON
Hareld L. Greeawee Died ef TypfceM
FeTer After Week's Illsess la
His Kew Heaie.
Word was received from Veraoa
shortly after noon today announcing
that Harold L. Greenwood son of
Mrs. J. E. Grenwood of this city died
at 12:30 o'clock after a brief Illnees
with typhoid fever. A wire last night
had started his mother and sister om
a Journey to Vernon to attend his
bedside but ere they reached there
the spirit took its flight to the great
beyond. Harold Greenwood Is know
to a very large portion of the citizens
of Brownwood as a bright young K&a
and a useful citizen. Just three
mowhs ago he was married to Mtas
Blossom Reynolds of San Antonio.
They spent a happy honeymooa ia
Colorado and returned to Brownwood
just before the opening of the cotton
season. About September rlst Mr.
Greenwood who was in the employ of
H. T. Williams & Company was seat
to Vernon to open an office. Almost a
stranger In a strange land he was
stricken with typhoid fever but every
attention was paid him. His disease
taking a serious turn last Friday his
brother Donald Greenwood wnt to
attend him. Last night the mother
and sister were summoned and ere
they reach his bedside the end had
come.
Funeral arrangements have Bot
been announced but his remains will
be shipped to Brownwood for inter-
ment The local Elks lodge of which
he was a member has been no tilled
and will probably take part in the
funeral exercises.
The announcement of this yoBg
man's death will be received with geml-
ine sorrow. He was beloved by a host
of friends and lived In a way that
caused all to like him. The deceased
leaves a devoted young wife a mother
sisters and brothers to mount his
death.
Some changes in the line-up has im-
proved the team wonderfully and it's
not a cinch that Daniel Baker will
have a walk-over In their next week's
game.
Howard Payne made frequent use at
tho forward pass and found it a
ground gainer. They gained posses-
sion of tho ball on their ten-yard line
one time and with three successful
passes it was placed in striking dis-
tance and Guyer was sent over the
lino for a touchdown. Guyer made
three touchdowns and John Ray and
Horace Evans each have one to their
credit
