bor circulated the report that her husband

It you do not recall it is, ‘Gentle Jimmy,

can cause your column, entitled ‘Anti-

which appears weekly In youi religious
columns to blossom as the fragrant rose,
and I am also Impressed that he will prove
of much value to your staff of Intellectual
giants. He is not as handsome as your
picturesque self, therefore will not inter-
fere with your lady friends, and being of
a very docile nature will not butt-in
where angels dare not tread. Hoping
you will find a vacancy for this unchained

furnish him desk room in the basement
below your brain table where the atmos-

About $900 in one day was sub-
scribed by prominent business men
toward maintaining a cotton buyer
in the field during the present sea-
son. “At least $3,000 is in sight,”
remarked W. S. Knight to the Ga
zkttehr man. There is no doubt
from the present outlook that Deni
son will regain her prestige .as 1
cotton market. Our merchants are
determined that top prices shall be
paid tor cotton and that farmers
will find it a pleasure to visit us
One thing is certain that the farmer
who brings his cotton to Denison
will receive as good a price as paid
by any town or city in Texaa. To
a great extent we have lost o
country trade and it can be easily
won back with the proper effort on
the part of our people. All the
farmers ask lor it the ruling price
for their cotton and Denison is going
to see that they get it. It will be a
pleasure to the Gazetteer to say
to the farmers, bring your cotton to
Denison with the assurance that the
best market price will be paid.
J. W. Hocker will close out his
business here and move to the Ter
ritory.
