Let’s Reciprocate 15
Let’s Co-operate
Laying aside the many conveniences and
saving advantages of a bank account, did you ever
stop to consider the prestige it would give you
should you ever want to borrow some money.
Don’t you suppose that the bank would feel
more like making you a loan if you were in the
habit of keeping a deposit at the bank.
You will agree this is reasonable and although
you may be in no need of a loan now you may
need a little financial assistance sometime. You
will find this bank always willing to stand by you
if you will stand by the bank. ••
That’s a simple proposition of Reciprocity and
Go-operation, that’s all. Gome to see us.

Turner Amends Acceptance
E. P. Turner, representing
himself and associates, who are
interested in the reviving of the
street railway and interurban
franchise granted by Dallas city
sometime ago to J. Mercer
Carter, appeared before the
Board of Commissioners last
Monday afternoon and amended
his written acceptance of the
action of the commission with
reference to renewing certain
portions of t! e Carter franchise.
Certain discrepancies were dis-
covered in his original, which
Mr. Turner explained to the
satisfaction of the board were
mere clerical errors and due to
faulty phraseology.
The franchise, which the board
agreed to renew, provide for the
construction of a line of railway
westward on Commerce street
across Trinity river, and up
Commerce to Market street and
thence to the northwesterly
limits of the city to serve as out-
lets for an interurban line to
Glen Rose and for another line
to Denton. These grants were
conditioned that work on one or
the other of the lines should be-
gin within twelve months and
that twenty miles of track on
either or both lines should he
completed inside twenty months.
Truttec Election *T
In the trustee election, which
was held last Saturday, the fol-
lowing four gentlemen received

as trustees for a term of two
years: E. W. Broadhurst 84; J.
T. Rhoton 85; W. A. Gravley 84;
W. F. Vinson 2(1. Apparently
there was little interest mani-
fested ini the election, a total of
only 40 votes being cast.

Scholastic Census
R. A. Warner, member of the
school board, has this week be-
gun the task of enumerating the
scholastics of Carrollton Inde-
pendent school district.* This
task must be finished and in the
hands of cofanty superintendent
of schools on or before June 1
and it behooves every patron of
the school to see that his or her
child is enumerated. If the
census enumerator misses your
house call him up and report
same. Every child of the schol-
astic age is worth more than six
dollars to the school fund of Car-
rollton.
A Day at a Time.
It has been said that “more
than half the breakdowns comes
from trying to live yesterday,
tomorrow, next week, in the life
of today.” Probably this is true.
It is not the things that we do
that sap our strength so much
as the things we regret and the
things we fear—in a word, the
things we worry about. Many
man bends under frightful bur-
dens today because he broods
over burdens of yesterday and
fears the foes he may have to
face tomorrow. It would not be
so if he lived a day at a time.
Our failures may be weights or
wings—weights when they leave
us nothing but the oppressive
sense of our own inefficiency;
wings when they stimulate us to
more earnest endeavor. To
dwell upon our mistakes, our
weaknesses, makes us weaker
and more likely to blunder on
the morrow, and the dread of
such additional shortcomings
makes the load more crushing;
hut to realize that our mistakes
makes us richer in experience is
to gain new strength for ap
proaehing struggle. We are not
physically or mentally equipped
to live more than one day at a
time. To consume the day’s
strength on yesterday and to-
morrow is to make us unfit for
today. “As thy days, so shall
thy strength be." -Exchange.
The Meed of Ihe Silo
We are indebted to Col. Peter |
Radford, President of the Farm-
ers’ Union, for directing atten-
tion to the importance of the silo

it will increase efficiency of the
feed 40 per cent, and enables
cereals and forage crops to suc-
cessfully compete in productive
value with cotton.

twin agencies of prosperity and
fortunate is the fanner who
possesses them. They are good
business educators and owner-

Fallen Asleep
Monday morning, just as the
rosy dawn of a beautiful day
was breaking, the little spirit of
Ray Wilkerson Fyke tpok its
ilight to the glory land of heaven,
and his body lain to rest 'neath
the greensward, just eight short,
happy months, to the day, since
he opened his big blue eyes to
this life. God, in his wisdom,
saw fit to pluck this beautiful
white little bud ere the cold
bleak winds of sin and sorrow
could blight it. He who said ‘‘of
such is the kingdom of heaven”
has taken it unto himself to re-
plant it in his infinite garden of
love, where it may blossom all
the more beautiful in the bright
summer land.
Happy, laughing little) Ray,
thy stay witli us has been short,
thy summons coineth indeed
early. Oht sweet baby presence,
how we .miss thee! No more in
this lifes hall we kiss him; No
more to feel the clasp of tiny
arms, no more to hear the ripple
of laughter. A place in the
home will be vneant, the little
voice stilled. Father will miss
him, mother will miss him and
sisters will miss ‘‘little brother.”
Ah, how sad is al! about us, be-
cause of the absence of our dar-
ling. Such are the thoughts
which enter our hearts and are
prone to linger there. Dear
bereaved ones, it should not be
so. “He is not dead but sleep-
eth." Asleep in the arms of the
blessed Jesus, asleep to wake no
more.
As we take our last look at the
precious little form so quiet, so
peaceful and calm, let us bow
our heads in humble submission
to the will of God and say within
our hearts, “Be it so; sleep on,
sweel babe, in Jesus’ arms, rest
darling till I come to thee.”
Remembering the words of the
Lord Jesus when he said: “Bless-
ed are they that mourn for they
shall be comforted." Comforted
with the peace, not as the world
giveth but as Jesus, and only
Jesus, can give. He doeth alb
things well, nnd somehow, some-
time, not now, this vale of mys-
tery, this lesson that’s now so
hard to learn, this will of God so
great, so grand, will be made
clear, and then we will under-
stand and say: ‘‘God is good to
me.” Let us find peace and
comfort in these few lines:
There we’ll meet you, precious
darling,
There we’ll clasp thy hand once
more,
When we meet to part no more
On that happy, peaceful shore.
