We offer to the people of Jack County all of the advantages of a
thoroughly up-to-date and conservatively managed banking institution.
The affairs of the bank are administered by a conservative Board of
successful business men, under the direction of the Treasurer of the
United States. The books are audited at frequent intervals by a com-
mittee of competent accountants, and examined twice annually by a
Special Agent of the Treasury Department, thus insuring to our de-
positors the greatest security known to the modern Banking fraternity.
Our depositors are among the best citizens of the community;
and, 'if you are not already one of them, a very cordial invitation 4s
extended to you to become one.
No deposit is too small to be welcomed, and equal courtesy is
shown to all, without regard to the size of their balances.

tertainment is beneficial twofold,
in view of the fact that the home
people will be able to attend the
convention for all sessions.
The railroads have granted spec-
ial round trip rates within 200 miles
of each convention city, at 4 cents
per mile.
The sessions for the conventions
will cover two full days and nights
and from one half to another whole
day in addition, according to the
railroad schedules, and the arrival'
of the tour party experts. c
The tour party will be composed
of trained experts upon every de-
partment of the Sunday School ac-
tivity, in addition to the world pi-
anist, Alvin W. Roper, and the live
wire song leader, W. C. North.
The local cities have appointed

Thirty years of association—think

there’s no guesswork in this evi-

who writes, “I have used Dr. King’s

used.” Once it finds entrance in a

The message was received with
great interest by the house, chiefly
because of t*he President’s long as-
sociation with the judiciary.
The message was read, to the
house amid absolute silence. Then
a storm of applause broke from the
Republican side. The Democrats
remained quiet. The message was
referred to the territories commit-
tee.
A resolution providing for the ad-
mission of New Mexico and Arizona

To The Jacksboro Gazette:
The Texas Sunday School Associ-
ation, composed of all denomina-
tions, has been regularly holding
annual conventions for many years.
During the past seven or eight
years these conventions have been
growing each year until they have
assumed a great magnitude, and on-
ly the larger cities can entertain
them. The one held in Fort Worth,
last March, had 2,000 delegates, and
probably 1,500 visitors in the vari-
ous eemtings.
These delegates came from 116
counties, 272 towns, and 436 Sun-
day Schools, traveling 224,593 miles.
With all of this marvelous attend-
ance at this great convention, one
will see that just one half of thd
counties were reached.
For the past two years the State
Executive Committee have planned
with great success, a series of great
State District Conventions, meeting
in certain sections of the State, so
that the Sunday School workers
may have one of these blessings
without having to travel more than
200 miles, and not 1400 as some
delegates did in March. These dis-
trict conventions will be equal to
the State Convention in the quali-
ty of the program, as every phase
of the Sunday School work will be
discussed by trained experts.
The conventions of last Septem-
ber reached 111 counties in the
eight conventions held, and it is ex-
pected that at least 175 counties
will be reached by delegates in the
sixteen conventions this year. The
convention cities selected are junc-j
tion points of railroads, easy of ac-
cess by delegates.
Each convention city is to give
free entertainment for lodging and

The Tex^is Sunday School Associa-
tion is a co-operative effort of all
denominations to extend and im-
prove Sunday School work in our
own State. It is the only organi-
zation which claims to help every
Sunday School in the State. It
seeks helpful co-operation, not un-
ion. Its conventions and institutes
discuss methods of work, not church
doctrine. It works by way of sug-
gestion, not by authority. It there-
fore helps thousands, it hindefs
none. Its conventions and insti-
tutes are free schools of method,
open to all Sunday school workers.
The leaders in Sunday school
thought of the various denomina-
tions co-operate and actively help
in this. The convention system
improvement, and work.■' No one
who desires to have a better Sun-
day school, or be a better worker
will miss one of these conventions.
Whenever you put any time, talent
or money into this organized Sunday
school work, you get hack all you
put in, and all that everyone else
of all other denominations put in.
Call a meeting of your officers
and teachers, at once, and select
the delegates from your school to
attend the convention nearest to
you, and appoint one of the num-
ber to arrange with the delegates
from ocher schools of year city and
county to go In a body, thereby cre-
ating not only a school spirit, but a
