MONEY SAVED IS MONEY MADE

any other way. Mistrot Bros. & Co., with their combination of 49 stores in Texas and unlimited capital, are in position to offer you goods at much
^ lower prices than the single handed merchant can sell them. This has been proven in all the larger town in Texas and by comparing prices we will

Henry M. Stanley, the great
explorer, is dead and buried. It
is said of him that he was so fond
of adventure during his lifetime
that he joined the Confederate
army just for the sake of fight-
ing, and when he was captured
by the Yankees he swore allegi-
ance to the Union in order to get
back into the scrap. His real
name was not Stanley but John
Row Ians. He was born in Wales,
left an orphan at two years old
and was raised in a poor house.

which time all fair minded ob-
servers, whether pro or anti, are
bound to admit that the counties
have grown and developed more
both in town and country in all
material and moral respects than
they had done for ten years pre-
viously.
It would, as we see it, be a se-
rious misfortune, a misfortune
affecting not alone the moral
status of the community, but
also operating in many places to
lower the moral tone and depre-
ciate the value of property
should prohibition be defeated.
So, now is the time for every
prohibitionist in Cherokee to be
up and at work, to the end that
his community may not be taken
unawares and allowed to con-

county.

“I send you some of the most
wonderful whiskey that ever
brought a skeleton into the closet
or painted scenes of lust and
bloodshed in the brain of man.
It is the ghost of wheat and corn,
crazed by the loss of their natu-
ral bodies. In it you will find a
transient sunshine chased by a
shadow as cold as an arctic mid-
night, in which the breath of
June grows icy, and the carol of
the lark gives place to the fore-
boding cry of the raven. Drink
it, and you have ‘woe’, ‘sorrow’,
‘babbling’, and ‘wounds \vithout
cause’, ‘your eyes shall behold
strange women’, and ‘your heart
utter perverse things’. Drink it
deep, - and you shall hear the
voice of demons shrieking, women
wailing, and worse than orphan-
ed cnildren mourning the loss of
their father who yet lives. Drink
it deep and long, and serpents
will hiss in your ears, coil them-
selves about your neck, and seize
you with their fangs; ‘at last it
biteth like a serpent and stingeth
like an adder.” For forty years

Cherokee’s Fight.
Cherokee county is now in the
midst of a prohibition fight and
it is strictly up to her good citi-
zens to say whether they will
continue as they have for sever-
al years past to exclude the open
saloons.
In view of the fact that Troupe
is partly in Cherokee county,
and that whatever affects for
good or evil northern Cherokee
affects Troupe, the Banner makes
no apology for stating its posi-
tion and for offering a few words
of caution to those across the
line among whom it has several
hundred readers.
If our position on prohibition
were not well known we could
have no better incentive to pro-
nounce boldly and clearly against
the open saloon, than the desire
to see continued the moral con-
ditions and observance of law
that have obtained in Smith and
Cherokee since prohibition went
into effect some years ago; since
colors and to contribute some-
thing of his efforts and money, if
need be, to win a prohibition vic-
tory and thus perpetuate the
commendable conditions now ex-
isting in the county.
One other word o? warning:
where honest men have honest
differences, there is no reason
why, in this campaign, there
should be “crimination and re-
crimination.” If a man differs
from you in his views, that’s his
right and privilege and he is
only exercising a right which
you yourself demand—the right
of political freedom. The Ban-
ner has very many good friends
who are antis, whom it thinks
none the less of because of their
views, since they concede its
right to be a pro and to speak and
act as it pleases in the premises.

Reynolds in Line.
Reynolds, Tex., May 24.—As
the prohibition election is near
at hand, I want to say to the good
people who read the Banner,
that I for one am going to do all
I can for prohibition. I know
that this law, like the pistol law
and some others, has been viola-
ted, yet I think it is a thousand
times better than to have open
saloons. Where there is no in-
corporated town people outside
of such places would suffer in
many different ways. Property
would depreciate in value, the
morals of the boys would be ruin-
ed, and the country set back
just as long as the grog shops
were allowed to run. We had as
we! repeal the pistol law.
Crops of all kinds are very
sorry. Potatoes made an aver-
age of about 35 bushels per acre.
The fruit crop is very good.
W. N. Ross was over from
Griffin Sunday. Bro. Smith fill-
ed his appointment at Mt. Car-
mel yesterday, and made a good
prohibition talk.
Mrs. E. A. McKinley of Griffin
has been visiting her children of
Reynolds.
Mrs. W. J. Watson of Morgan
is visiting in Reynolds.
The Ross sawmill is running
in full blast, and is making real
nice lumber.
The Reynolds broom factory is
running regularly, and is turn-
ing out a neat, good broom.
Several new comers have been
added to our community.
There is some sickness around
Reynolds, but none serious.
Well, as the fruit business is
on, we think money matters will
become easier.
Grayson College.
Mr. Editor:—I gladly furnish
a sketch of Grayson College to
which I go.
This institution was founded
eighteen years ago as a private
school and has grown until its
annual enrollment is from 350 to
400 pupils. In January last the
main building was burned, but
is to be rebuilt by next

eluding grounds and
will represent a cash valuation of
aoout $40,000. Whitewright
contributes about $15,000 in
cash. A stock company,
capitalized at $60,000 with a
paid-up capital of about $40,000,
has been formed, consisting of
five members of the faculty, and
five others elected by the stock-
holders. The faculty, owning a
majority of the stock, will, of
course, control the school. This
is believed to have been a strong
factor in the growth and success
of the school heretofore. It is a
non-sectarian but a Christian
school, various denominations
being represented in the faculty.
Whitewright is between Green-
ville and Denison, is reached by
three railroads, twelve daily
passenger trains. It is a town
about the size of Jacksonville, a
beautiful place, said to be one of
the wealthiest towns of its size
in Texas. They have had pro-
hibition for fifteen years and
have the curfew law. From
what I saw and heard I am sure
there are few, if any better,
cleaner towns in the state. It
is surrounded by one of the
richest farming districts I know
of and singularly healthful also.
