meet him at 7:30 next Tuesday morn-
ing at Early Morton's gravel pit, sup-
plied with teams, shovels, picks, etc.,
in order to put some work on the
road. Notwithstanding that all the
road hands have already put in their
full time for this year, the roAd Is
in a very bad condition and it is to
the interest of ali to have it bettered
so that the movement of crops will
not be so badly impeded. Mr. Me)-,
ton is anxious that every citizen on
the road meet him at the appointed
place promptly and do their part
during the day towards putting the
road in good condition. The road to
be worked is the upper Stephenville
and Dublin road from the foot of
the hill at the north end of Patrick
street in Dublin to Greens creek.
Everyone on the road and those on
intersecting roads are earnestly re-
quested to be on hand promptly and
make the day count.

A Loss to the Progress.
Jno.’ T. Risien, who has been a
trusted and valuable attachee of the
Progress office for some twelve years,
tills week severs his connection
with the paper and will enter the
newspaper business on his own re-
sponsibility as ower and publisher of
the Chronicle, published at Carroll-
ton In Dallas county, at which place
his brother Will Risien now resides.
Mr. Risien went up to Carrollton last
Saturday and on Monday purchased
the Chronicle and took charge of tip
plant, leaving it in the hands of the
former manager while he returned
this week to fulfill his engagement
with the Progress which by mutual
agreement was not to end until to-
morrow. Mr. Risien has been so
long with the Progress that he seems
a part of it and the writer has learn-
ed to know him and to impiicitely
trust in his honor and integrity as a
man and his energy and untiring zeal
as well as his capacity as a printer,
and "allround’’ and valuable man in
the office. He leaves the Progress of
his own accord and he shall take
with him our wishes that he may
meet with the full measure of suc-
cess in his new home and new ven
tore, that he so richly deserves and
that his indominatable energy and
other attributes will doubtless gain
for him. The Progress feels that it
will not be easy to till his place in
the office and no one who ever resid-
ed in Dublin ever left with the well
wishes of more earnest friends than
he. Mr. Risien will leave tomorrow
night for his new home and to at
once take personal charge of his bus-
iness. Ills wife and little boy will
probably remain in Dublin for a
month or more until he has perfected
arrangements for their coming to
him.
At M. J. Woods you will find the
best calicoes and percales—same
price as the old—cheap.
Our old time friend W. M. Ship-
man, who now resides near Vera, in
Knox county, is in the county this
week, accompanied by Mrs. Ship-
man, on a visit to relatives. Mr.
Shipman formerly resided four miles
east of Dublin but has now been in
Knox county several years, where he
and his three sons own a section of
fine land. Mr. Shipman says that
the wheat and oat crops were fair in
his section this year, though slightly
damaged'by rust and that sorghum,
kaffir corn and Indian corn were as
.fine as could be. Cotton, he says, is
about in the same condition as the
crop herq and it \s altogether
lamatical’as to what it will make.
He has on his Knox county farm
three hundred acres in cultivation
and is therefore farming on a con-
siderable scale.

Some Eratb Red Apples.
J. K. Reynolds placed the Progress
editor under obligations this week
by the presentation of a quantity of
fine apples from his farm in the
Lingieville country. The fruit was
as fine as any that ever came to Dub-
lin from the celebrated Arkansas
orchards and Mr. Reynolds has sever-
al acres of bearing trees on his place,
which are now laden with ruddy and
luoious fruit, yet Mr. Reynolds’
place is for sale. He is one of these
kind of farmers, ever active and al-
ways fixing up a comfortable home
with all conveniences and luxuries
for some one else to enjoy. We fear
that Mr. Reynolds is making a mis-
take in offering to part with his
property, but it can be safely believ-
ed that he will soon have another,
regardless of the work it takes to
get it.
Whv Not a Dally Edition.
The Voice at Coleman has started
a daily edition which has now been
in operation nearly a month. The
paper is a five column four page, all
home print and is most creditable to
the publisher and the town of Cole-
man. The Progress management
never gets hold of a daily paper pub- £
lished in a town the size of Dublin
or less but it is struck with a re-
newed desire to issue a daily edition
of the Progress in Dublin. Some
figuring is generally indulged in and
finally an inspection of the advertis-
ing records of the weekly edition.
This inspection always has the effect
of at once forcing a decision that a
daily edition here would be a losing
proposition and the roseate dreams
of a busy little daily edition is knock-
ed into smitherines. With the
Progress plant a daily edition that
would be a credit to the town could
easily be handled and with great ad-
vantage toward the issue of a still
better weekly paper. If there are
any merchants in Dublin who would
like to see a daily published here and
who would be willing to back up
their desire in a substantial way by
contracting for space in the issue the
Progess management would like to
talk it over with them. In this
respect Dubllin is far behind many
towns of less importance.

HIDES IN DEMAND
Hides are Worth More Money
Than Flesh and the Local
Market is Brisk.
An unexpected activity has been
aroused in the hide business in Dub-
lin and vicinity by the advent of a
new hide buying firm with head-
quarters at Ft. Worth. This industry
is not by any means a small one even
in this celebrated agricultural coun-
try but one concern has been hand-
ling all this line^f business for some
time. The advent of the Western
Hide & Wool Co. of Ft. Worth with
a branch office here has precipitated
a battle royal in the hide business
and the price of hides has soared
equal to the price of cotton when
backed with a Farmers Union de-
mand of ten cents a pound or no
sale. Hides are now worth in the
local market nearly double per pound
what the flesh of the animal is worth
and the cash is paid on the spot for
the peits. Mr. J. Armstrong, late
of Ft. Worth is lecal agent for the
Western Hide & Wool Co., whose
office is in the small building next
door north of the Progress office and
Mr. firitton will also buy for the
new company’s account. They are
entirely reliable people but say that
they come prepared to pay cash for
what they get.
prompt and efficient service and good
work at Jiving prices. Ail of this
has been done under the disadvan-
tage of a half-sick manager, the total
absence of one of our typesetting
machine operators on account of sick-
ness, and the absence a part of the
time of the foreman, who has resign-
ed to get rich on his own account in
north Texas, and yet no one has
complained of delay in getting their
work. But there has been activity
about the Progress office and the
electric lights and our little gas en-
gine have suffered. If you have any-
thing in our line Mr. Reader bring
or send it to us and we will agree to
please you too, or no cost.
M. J. Woods will show some ele-
gant styles in silks and dress goods
this season.
Bridge Burned on Frisco.
A burned out bridge on the Frisco
between Stephenville and Bluff Dale
delayed train No 9, due here at 7
o’clock Monday night, until nearly
noon Tuesday. The Record special
out of Fort Worth at 2 o'clock was
annulled, when it was found that
No. 9 could not pass over the burned
bridge, and as a result the towns
west of Stephenville were without the
dally papers that day. The bridge
was burned out entirely, but trains
were able to pass at 9 o’clock Tuesday
night. __________
Case of Spontaneous Combustion.
On last Friday morning when J.
A. Cochran opened the door of his
dry goods store he was met with a
very unpleasant odor, and not know-
ing from whence it eminated, he be-
gan a search for its origin. On ob-
serving a large roll of comforts lying
on the floor which had just been re-
ceived from the market, which had
in transportation been saturated to
some extent with coal oil, and which
he was keeping intact, until his part-
ner, Mr. Woodroof, returned, to see
what the damages might be if any,
he approached it and observed that
the odor was coming from this roll.
He at once removed it out doors and
opened it and to his surprise found
that voluntary combustion had taken
place* on the inside of the roll aftd
that three comforts, were already al-
most burned up and others injured.
This was a very strange freak of na-

The Progress job department has
been almost overwhelmed with work
the past two or three weeks, but we
are yet able to deliver work promptly
and to do it in the best of style. A
considerable order received from an
Alexander firm Wednesday was sent
down on Thursday evening's train.
A very large order from Harbin re-
ceived the latter part of last week
was delivered this week, the new
hide buying concern gave us an or-
der for a full line of stationery sup-
plies and got the woik in full the
next day and Mr. Armstrong, the
manager, remarked on our promptness
and also said that the work was far
better than hi9 company had been
getting from Ft. Worth and Dallas, Some advertise one thing and then

The Trust’s Weapon.
"The fundamental objection to na-
tional banks,’’says Thomas E. Wat-
son in his magazine for July, "is
that the right to issue money is a
sovereign power which should be
exercised by the government aione.
It should not be delegated. To farm
out to any individual or to any cor-
poration the tremendous privilege of
expanding and contracting the cur-
rency is to make a class the masters
of the situation. They can contract
the volume of money, force prioes
down, and buy: they can then inflate
the currency, force prices up and sell.
They can do this upon a regular sys-
tem which Is powerless to check.
Thus all other kinds of property are
at the mercy of those who wield this
tremendous power.
"Jefferson and Jackson and Benton
saw this, and they fought National
banks with ali the strength they pos-
sessed.
"Gut the party of Jefferson, Jaofe-
son and Benton is now controlled by §P|L«

democrats everywhere disputing the
existence of the ‘picnic. ’
