double the number of subscribers in

lumber of subscribers in Bell county

Indian summer with gorgeous ban-
ners of crimson and gold, stands on
the threshold of the year, holding
aside the curtain, wlhle the home-
coming folk troop in from mountain
and galley; from seashore, lakeside
8Qd ocean blue.
Throwing off the torpor and lassi-
tude of the hot season, the busy
world makes ready to resume the
tJjejish pursuits of Its manifold call-
ing!. TT
Ih® Snen of God, valued and in-
dispensable. in whose absence satan
has waxed bold, don their armor, and
with spiritual sword and battle-axe,
prepare to wage war against sin and
ungodliness.
The marts of trade, keen for the
rush of aujURnn business, marshal
their forces and buckle down to the
urgent requirements of the business
1 of money making.
In the halls of learning, wise pro-
fessors don cap and gown and with
outstretched hand, welcome Jhe In-
coming tide of the seekers after
knowledge. Little ones who never
before left mother's side, must now
enter the arena of life to take their
first lessons at school.
Ambitious youth seeks again the
thorny path of knowledge, looking
forward to a desired goal.
Grave judges, with calm judicial
air, collect their dusty legal docu-
ments and turn their faces toward
the courts of justice, |
Pleasure garnishes the house of
mirth and throws wide her doors,
beckoning the revelers to rout and
ball, to play and concert, and all the
gay round of social distractions.
AH, all are bound to the "wheel
of things" and at the quickening of
its revolutions, must whirl relentless-
ly on in the cycle of existence.
And not the least in importance in
the world's work are the women's
clubs, organized for philanthropic,
civic or educational purposes, and
keeping step with the twentieth cen-
tury's march of progression.—Ex-
change.

ELEVEN CABS PENCIL CEDAB
SHIPPED FROM MARLIN
(Marlin Democrat)
The shipping of Falls county cedar
to the East for use in the manufac-
ture of pencils continues. Eleven
carloads have tx*n shipped to date.
Wagons are engaged every day in
hauling the logs to the I. & G. N
depot for shipment to Houston, where
they are put through the mill for pre-
paration for re-shipping to New
York. The Houston mill takes off
the rough and cuts out all superflu-
ous timber, knots, etc. When it
leaves the Houston mill it is ready
for factory use. This preparatory
process is adopted in order to save
freight 'barge® on material that can-
not be used by the factory.
The timber is being moved from
the stump by T, K Reynolds, who is
a contractor for the parties who are
shipping i; from Texas. Mr; Rey-
nolds states that while there is an
abundance of grod cedar adaptable
to this puriioie ;r r"aiis county, that
much of it has to > called out here,
which he ntllb. s for posts. In the
work of < rting the timber and haul-
ing it to the depot -»veral men and
teams an required. Some years ago
a representative of an eastern fac-
tory visited Falls county and mad?
•otne investigation with a view of
putting- in a factory here, but, the
question of power was an impedi-
ment and the matter was dropped
That there is ' iiough good cedar in
Falls and adjacent counties to rut
a factory for several years there is
little doubt.

Answering many inquiries from
friends and customers as to the mag-
nitude of the business of our seven-
teen large stores situated in as many
of the best towns and cities through-
out Texas and Oklahoma, we are
pleased to give below the facts.
■ \
The list of salespeople employ-
ed being taken from last' weeks re-
port, of course later in the season the
number will be increased perhaps
25 per cent to take care of our fast
increasing business—321 salespeople
employed.
•*> . V ;■■■: .J
142,789 square feet of floor space
l occupied orjmore than 3 acres.
Annual sales of more than Two
MillionJandFive Hundred Thousand
Dollars.
Or to put it differently, if our
seventeen large stores were all in one
we would be occupying a store room
seventeen stories and four and one-
half stories under the ground as base-
ments the size of our Temple store,
employing an army of 321 salespeo-
ple and doing a spot cash business
of over $2,500,000.00 annually.
It is easily to be seen that this
immense amount let for merchandise
affords us a purchasing power that
but few concerns in the United States
much less our one store competition
can cope with. We underbuy and
undersell any of them. Our large
sales enable us to handle a class of
merchandise no small concern can af-
ford to and too for a smaller margin
of profit as the immense volume of
business compensates us for the
small profits.
We assert without the slightest
fear of contradiction that we can do
better by our customers than any of
the large department or mail order
stores in the large cities for the reason
our purchasing power is just as great
and our outlet for merchandise is
just as large, and our expense to do
business is enormously less, and we
do know we sell the same class of
goods for less than they do and that
we can sell you anything they do
and for less.
The proprietors of our various
stores are among the leading men of
their respective towns, and will be
found ever ready to lend their talent
and money for any worthy enterprise
that is promoted for the good of their
town or community. It is a bless-
ing for the good people of Temple
ank Bell county to have such a
place to trade as

IN SERMON TO RAILROAD MEN
AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH RE-
VIVAL.
VMS "STATIONS"* NAMED
On the "Air-Line" That Leads Not
to Heaven—Via Christ is Only
Route to Salvation.
(BY REV. F. W. O MALUEY)
The revival services at the Chris-
tian church last evening were well
attended. The railway sermon at-
tracted much attention and was fa-
vorably received. Evangelist Lock-
hart stated that if there was one
class of labor that had elicited his
respect and profoundest regard it
was the railway employes. He hon-
ored every one, from the man who
drove the spike which held the steel
rail down, to the superintendent of
the great system. That he had pro-
found fakh in their ability and trust
ed his life frequently in their hands
with as much composure as if he had
been at home with bis family.
Analogies of the Rails.
The speaker chose for his analogy
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
railway (formerly the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi), running fro mCincinnati'
to St. Louis. Taking the road as it
entered Indiana be ran the route
through the various towns and
across the crossings of the intersect-
ing roads, giving an explanation at
each crossing, showing that if a man
desired to go to St. Louts that he
must remain in the train and not
take any other intersecting road for
not any one Of them entered the city.
On reaching East St. Louis he des-
cribed the various switches and other
roads, but the one that carried the
man over was the one in which he
had taken passage. There is a river
now to cros#—that river is bridged;
then there is a tunnel to pass thru,
when the only light that comes to a
person is the light in the car when
all at once the train emerges into
the throbbing pulsation of city life.
From tills analogy he placed the me-
taphor on the church of Christ, and
as there was but one road through
that country that led to St. Louis,
so there is but one way by which a
man may enter ^eaven, and that
way is via Christ.
Jesus said? "I am the way, and
the truth, and the life; no man com-
eth unto the Father but through me."
Jesus said. "I am the door; if any
man climbeth up any other way the
same is a thief and a robber." Peter
said, (Acts 4:12), "There is no oth-
er name given under heaven or
among men whereby we must be sav-
ed." There are no roads that run
parallel with this one—He is the
only way. It is often said that when
you get to heaven they will never ask
you by which road you came, but
getting there is the point. As there
is only one road a man must go that
way if he desires to be saved. Mo-
hammedanism. Confucianism, Juda-
ism. and all other isms may be very
nice roads, and present many glow-
ing promises, but not one of them
leads into heaven. A man who de-
sires to go to St. Louis must get
aboard the cars; and so a man who
desires to be saved must get aboard
the gospel train. Getting aboard,
the first step is faith, and if a man
takes only that step it will not be
long before he is knocked off. The
second step is repentance. The third
step is baptism, which places him
upon the platform!" and to the door
Christ Jesus. Some people say that
baptism is the door, but Jesus said,
"I am the door; by me if any man
shall enter in he shall be saved."
Stations on the Route.
If a man desired to go to heaven
he must remain in Christ Jesus. The
first stolon that the train strikes is
Indifferentville. There are a large
number of people who live in this
place, who are totally indifferent to
the claims of Christ. Some of them
like to see their wives and children
Christians, but they do not want to
become Christians themselves; at
least, they are indifferent to the in-
vitation of Christ and they die away
from Christ.
The next is Grumblers » Station.
Here some of the old grumblers get
off and take to the woods, and they
are left, and the old fellows go thru
life crochety, grumbling at every-
thing and everybody. The great gos-
pel train moves on, and most of them
die In the wilderness.
The next place is Miff City. Here
we find some persons who get mad at
the preacher, the choir, the officers,
the church building committee, the
ladles' Aid Society; they fancy that
they have not been appreciated, or
their dignity has been wounded and
they have jumped off at Miff City,
and are fanning themselves with

whose breath does not smell of attar
of roses, and women who are scantily
attired. Persons who get off here
seldom return. Bad company, evil
associates have ruined many a clever
fellow.
The next place is Anti-City, Here
we find those who object to the mis-
sionary work, the organ, singing,
preaching—indeed they have "antl-
ed" on everything until they have
"antied" out of Christ.
The next place is Pleasure Parks.
People who think there is stoo much
restraint on the train, get off here
and play cards, dance, go to theatres,
take a social glass, play progressive
forty-two" and stay at Pleasure
Parks and let the great gospel train
move on, _ - v
The last place we will mention is
Careless Junction. At this point we
find people sitting quietly in coaches
that are on the switches and on
trunk lines. They were members in
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas,
Alabama, Mississippi or some other
point in Texas and have come here
and have never placed their member-
ship in the church. They are side-
tracked, detached from the great mov
ing train. They never reach the city
of our God.
To move across the river you must
remain attached unto the great mov-
ing, protecting power of the Lord Je-
sus Christ. A detachment from Him
in any way disconnects you with sal-
vation. You stay with the old train;
you have been brought down to Jor-
dan's brink. The great river of
death is bridged. That power that
has carried you safely through the
years of your life and given you pro-
tection, forsakes you not at the river,
but carries you quietly across and
into the tunnel of the grave and
through that dark abode lighted only
by Christ whose resurrection broke
the bars of death and then you step
forth into the glorious immortality
in the New Jerusalem, in the man-
sion of eternal glory.
