AUGUST 31. 1906.
Eastland county supports eight
weekly newspapers.
Keep the improvement going on;
there’s room for plenty more.
The Paul Keith case which was
transferred to Taylor county on a
charge of venue, is set for Sept.
iOth.
Still Carbon continues to grow,
even if nobody doesn’t make a big
howl about it. Turn her loose and
give her a chance.

.................'isgi-j-—j HB Young one of The Leader’s
A regular October cold snap farmer friends was in town Monday
struck this part of the moral vine- with a stalk of the Big Bole Prolific |
yard Sunday and held on a few | Cotton which had 88 boles from the
days. Fans were exchanged for size of a partridge egg and up on
wraps and farmers say the boll i'it. Besides fifty to seventyfive
worms were surprised and took a smaller boles and squares. Mr.
lay-off. J Young said that this stalk was an
_ j exception of his crop but that the
entire crop would average from 25
to 40 boles.—Ranger Leader.
There are two known cases of
Cisco received her first bale of
cotton of the 1900 crop Thursday
evening of last week for which one
of her merchants paid 10.5 cents.
Gorman also received a bale the
same day and the buyer paid the
same price as was paid at Cisco.
The business men of Carbon are
preparing for a big trade this fall
and wc can assure our readers that
they can buy goods as cheap in Car
bon as any other town in the county.
We understand that plans are
being made for the erection of two
or three more new residences in
Carbon at an early date. Let the
good work go on as the demand
for homes in our town is steadily
increasing.
Have you thoughjt of school for
the ensuing year? Do you not
think you should have your child-
ren in school the very first day?
We must have a good school in
Carbon to correspond with the
many other progressive movements.
T. H. Dingier is another man
who takes pride in improvements,
etc. He has had a nice clay side
walk made from his residence to
main street which is greatlv ap-
preciated by those who reside on
the east side of town, and most
especially the school children who
have heretofore had to “dig the
sand” most all the way to and from
the college.
The business men of Carbon are
much better prepared this fall to
take care of the trade than ever
scarlet fever in town. The first
case was in a family living in Neal
Edwards’ house, and yesterday W.
J. Cook’s little girl, living on the
Peter’s place, was taken' sick with
the fever.—Baird Star. '

The time ha§ come for the town
dudes to grabl*a.cot^on!jsaeii and go
out and make somb.. money for
before and we believe they deserve | thcmselves ip^ad-p^eAding pa’s
the trade of the Carbon territory. m ancN^^ook^ffcm.nate.
If you are patriotic patronize your
home business men as long as you
can do as well as at other places,
and taking it the seassn through
you can get as much for your
cotton and get goods as cheap in
Carbon as in any other town in
the county. By observation the
past few years we have learned this
to be a fact.
Among several others from Car-
bon the editor attended the Cisco
Baptiqt Association at Eastland
last week. The meeting was well
attended and seemed to be enjoyed
by all. Tho Eastland people
manifested the usual West Texas
hospitality and has a warm corner
in the hearts of all the visitors.
The Association next August will
foe held in Carbon and it iB not too
early for ns to begin now to prepare
for it.
Circular advertisimg is the most
expensive^advertising and the least
profitable advertising in which a
merchant can advertise. As an
illustration we will set forth below
an example: Say you have 1,000
page circulars printed, which will
cost you at the lowest §5. You
mail these circulars out. which
costs you 810 to do so. Then you
use 1,000 envelopes to put them in,
which cost you 83. To get these
circulars to the trading public
costs you all told 818 for the thous-
and. Of course upon receipt of
said circulars at the postoffice at
least one-third of them at the lowest
estimate will be destroyed, and not
over half will reach home for the
wife and children to read over and
see what you have for sale. Not so
with advertisement in a newspaper.
The Subscriber pays for the paper
which makes him appreciate it
more; he takes it home, the family
reads it and acts upon your offer.}
Besides a paper with 1,000 circula-
tion can safely count on at least
4,000 or 5,000 readers each week,
as each family will avenge at least
five members who will read it, not
saying anything of those who bor-
row the paper.—DeLeon Free Press.

The Republican convention which
washeldat Cisco recently, elected
W. Zib Stricklin, of this city, as
county chairman. Zib is nothing
if not a politician, and if Teddy
doesn’t carry Eastland county in
1908 it will not be the county
chairman’s fault.—Gorman Prog-
ress.

headway in preparations to sink a
shaft on his place three miles east
of Eastland. All of the machinery

miner was here this week to View
the situation and his report is
favorable. Is is certain that coal
can be found and a . probability of
oil.—Bulletin.

a lively rate in this county. Mr.
Nixon, one of our readers a few

our office Wednesday a stalk of

of them had been punctured by
boll worms.—Gatesville. Star-
