With Coleman county raising

it than just shipping it out in the
eld fashion way. If we had a

Advocate putting up a saw mill,
■ot shipping the logs away to
some other vnffl. No matter
what our product, other thancot-
iion, was we would prepare to
manufacture articles out of it at
feome. Then why should & fcot-
lon mill not be thought of! We
sen have one and raise the cotton
Id feed it We have the cotton
end wool at home while mills
thousands of miles away have
Id send to us for those products.
It would be a money paying and
money saving proposition.
One of the greatest necesities,
from our way of thinking, to
Coleman and surrounding coun-
try is that of a cotton mill. A
$300,000 00 cotton • mill would
double the population ol Coleman
apd put from five to ten dollars
e bale more money into the pock-
ets of the farmers. It would
put the country on a boom, more
farmers would locate bore and
the town would necessarily have
to grow. Texas has for a long
time neglected this part of her
natural improvement, but at the
preseat factories are going up in
the different parts of the state.
Coleman county with her thous-
ands of bales should keep up the
building and have a factory to
take care of her product

Sickness yesterday and hied a-
way to the sand-hills, mud-holes

pa’s sweet-potato bed andinhale
the soothing balms of an old-
fashioned pumpkin-pie, and we
the regaining unfortunate have
a cherished "pike” in the edi-
torial department, unincumbered
by his Majesty’s presence; of-
course he’ll never know of our
presumptuous undertaking, con-
sequently we feel constrained to
plung. Now, what is sweeter,
grander or more heavenly than
to go back to one’s old home, yes
return to that old parental roof,
where you spent your earlier
lfe, enjoyed the felicities of
long ago and rambled in the
sweets of child-hood dreams—a
pleasure not measured by joys
oCearth, but by starry relms.
You are met, not by life’s hard
duties, the discords of the busi-
aess world, nor the unsatisfac-
lion of commercial misunder-
standings, but by gray hairs,
k>ving arms and the sweet-scent-
ad atmospheres from out the
blossom-decked and honey-fla-
yored rendezvous of child-hood’s
roaming fancies. Just to stroll
bithe garden with your arms
locked behind you, kicking the
ground with your heels, and to
feel the air fan your care-worn
temples and tear-dirpmed eyes:
jest to linger at the garden gate

Then to reflect standing on the
porch looking towards the Sit-
ting sun, where you go on the
morrow. Duty calls and in
bowded submission you join the
venerable loved-ones in the house
perhaps for the last time.
Perhaps for the last time, for
the future can’t be told, and

The Revival.
The revival at the Methodist
church is growing in interest
The Rev. J. F. McClure, who is
conducting the meeting, is an
earnest and forceful preacher.
He looks his audience square in
the face and delivers his mes-
sage in such a way as to make
his hearers feel its tremendous
force, yet without any apparent
effort on his part He states his
propositions in clear, forceful
language, and drives them home
to the heart and conscience with
illustrations drawn from actual
life and his own experience in
the Christian ministry. His au-
dience give him rapt attention,
and when he has finished his
discourse every one feels that he
has been in the presence of and
heard speaking a man who is
filled with spiritual power.
The ministers Of the various
churches are in regular attend-
ance and a general co-operative
spirit prevails. The revival is
pitched on liberal plains and all
Christians are made welcome
and earnestly desired to co-
operate.
The singing, conducted by Dr.
C. R. Lablond, accompanied by
the organ and piano, with a cho-
rus of thirty voices, is the finest
that the city has enjoyed for a
number of years.
The meetings will continue
through next week. On Sun-
day there will be three services
as follows:
11:00 a. m., to a mixed au-
dience. Subject, "A Leap in the
Dark."
3:00 p. m., to men only. Sub-
ject, “The Weight of a Man.”
7:30 p. m., to a mixed au-
dience. Subject, "A Soft Snap.’’
District Court.
The District Court convened
again Monday, a jury empannel-
ed and the following criminal
cases disposed of:
The State vs. Woodly Carthen,
cliarged with aiding prisonors to
< .cape, verdict of not guilty;
The State vs. Henry Hackleman,
charged with forgery, case dis-
missed; The State vs. Sara Mon-
roe, charged with assault with
attempt to murder, verdict of
aggrevated assault and fined
Mr. J. T. Wamock, who lives
out about three mile* from Valera
was ifl the city Wednesday and
was a business .visitor to the
Voice office. Mr. Wamock tells
us that he is a farmer but that
he does not raise any eotton
Notwithstahding this assertion
he seems to be prosperous and
handed us out the good cash for
the Voice another year. He tells
us he has been for several years
confining his land to the produc-
tion of com, and that he has
made farely good success at it.
Anyhow he does not speak like
he intends to quit raising it and
4b back td cotton raising. He
feeds the com hd raises to hogs
and other stock of which he
raises some fine specimens. Af-
ter he feeds his year’s crop then
he is ready to put something on
the market that will bring some
good money, In -either words,
Mr. Wamock consumes what he
raises and then sells the product
grown from the first crop. It is
a good business.
The Morey Stack Company.
The old-reliable Morey Stot&
Company will be the attraction
at the opera house ali next week.
This company is owned and con-
trolled by the same management
as ’The Holy City” and "The
Savage King.” The Morey Stock
Company has been on the road
for ten seasons, and the same
high standard of the previous
nine seasons has been maintain-
ed this year in every particular.
The scenic and electrical effects
are equal, if not superior, to
those employed in past years;
the plays are new, embrace a
variety of themes, and each is
unique in its class; the people
are the best that can be secured
for their respective lines. J£he
management takes great "pleas-
ure in presenting this season’s
Morey Stock Co., believing as it
does, that it will meet with the
approbation of the public, and
add fresh laurels to its already
well-earned reputation.

The most sarcastic man we
ever heard of is the one whp
gave them the name of “church

This is the time of year when
the city man forgets for a sea-
son that he is just crazy to get
on a farm.
Ever notice that your appe-
tite for eggs Was not abnormal
until the price soared above 30
cents a dozen.
We are not the least bit super-
stitious, but we’ll walk around
the block rather than walk under
a ladder.

hood envies, the woman whose
husband is handy at fixing up
things around the house.
We wouldn’t care a snap about
being able to regulate the weath-

no difficulty in convincing him-
