It's time you were looking after your fences.
We want you to see our
“Electric Weld” Poultry Fence
It is m a (Re of extra heavy wires and still the meshes are close
enough to make the fenee perfectly chicken-proof—and strong
enough for stock.
It requires no top rail nor base board—stretches perfectly
over uneven ground and, if perfectly stretched, will not "sag”
and get out of shape.
Best of all, this fence costs no more (when you count the
cost of top and bottdm rails required with the ordinary kinds) than
the lightest and cheapest netting.
and see for yourself.

was that nearly ten thousand men
of Grayson county had qualified to
vote. The exact number of voters in
the county, considering the exemp-
tions outside of Sherman and Deni-
son as one-sixth of the total numbei
of poll receipts, would be 9223 vot-
ers in the county compared with ap-
proximately ten thousand last year.
Doth Sherman and Denison have
fallen short of last year's record by
several hundred votes while tin'
country boxes will fall short about
tno Xante per cent.
