Listen, Fruit and Truck Men! J.
F. Peck came to the rescue of the
big HOpkins County Exhibit with five
dolter* and this evidently means
something It is very evident that
Mr. I?eck has gotten great and good
results from- the work done by the
exploiting of the fruiters’ and truck-
ers’ products by the Commercial Club
at the Great State Fair. At the last
exhibit at the Fair che fruit and
truck products of Hopkins county
were given the front seat, and the
result is that the eyed of the United
States are now, turned toward this
county for the very finest Elbertas
and the very finest truck of all kinds
is a result of this exhibit; also to the
lands upon which these products were
grown, in away to more than double
the value of the lands, and you one
and all have harvested the rich re-
wards of this work. Now, we only
ask you for a very, insignificant sum
to keep this great exhibit work up. As
UcTwiiat yob have- received trom thfar
work ifom the time began and will
continue'to receive, your aiding us to
the extent of five dollars each is in-

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Rev. Harvey E. Baker, son of Rev.
and Mrs. N. B. Baker of this city, and
for the past year pastor of the Presby-
terian church at Myra, has been miss-
ing since September 4th, and not the
slightest trace has been had of him
since. He had been assisting his fath-
e * in a revival meeting at Mount Olive,
west of Valley View, but filled the pul-
pit at the Presbyterian church here
Sunday morning and left that night
for Pottsboro, where he had accepted
the pastorate of the church and to
which place he was.preparing to move
his family. He was at the Katy de-
pill in GatnesviHe Monday morning
and- that was the last seen or heard of
him.
His disappearance is very myster-
ious and his people and friends are
very much worried about it. Foul
play is feared and the officers are do-
ing all they can to clear up.tlie mystery
of his disappearance.—Valley View
Sun.

THE COMING MEETING.
The Rehoboth Association will con-
vene with the Fifst Baptist Church of
Sulphur Springs, on the 26th day of
the present month, and will be in ses-
sion three days.
This is a business body; its organi-
zation dates back about fifty years,
and has in her union at present some
sixty churches. We believe it is one
of the very best associations in the
state of Texas, therefore, we are anx-
ious that the citizenship of our city
attend the coming meeting and receive
and enjoy its benefits, and see for
themselves how Baptists do business
for the Master.
Remember, this meeting begins on
Tuesday night, next. H. G. YORK.
It is a fortunate thing for lawyers
that whenever a man is created who
has a peculiar faculty for legal re-
quirements and controversy ‘that at.
the same time enough fools spring in-
to existence to give him a good liv*
ing. It is illustrated in that story of
the man who studied for the ministry
and occupied the pulpit for a number
of years without success and then
studied law, and entering upon its
practice made a fortune at it. He de-
clared he found men more willing to
have their own way than to be guar-
anteed their souls or keep their bodies
whole. My ideal of a great lawyer is
that great English attornye who ac-
cumulated a fortune of £1,000,000
and left It all In a will to make a home
for idiots, declaring that he wanted to
give It back to the people from whom
he took it.—Bob Ingersoll.
The prohibitionists, at their meeting
list Saturday in Dallas, called off
their proposed contest in the state
election. This was a very judicious
thing to do, seeing that no good re-
sults coald possibly come from a con-
test.

deed small, and it is your duty to be
very active in handing in this small
amount so that we can carry the ex-
hibit through this season as it should
be and is becoming this people and
county. We are not yet able to say
that we can go to the Fair with this
magnificent exhibit in which any and
every citizen has or should have a
personal pride. It takes money to
run a big* show like we have and We
don't feel like starting towards the
Fair with less than five hundred dol-
lars, and we only have promised up
to this date a little more than forty
dollars. We are well aware of the
amount of work and money it takes
to carry this exhibit through the Fair
but it is our personal pride to do our
duty to our trust, regardless of the
amount of work that is put on us,
and we ask you all to be patriots to us
in this big undertaking, and act right
now. It ought to be perfectly easy
to get fifteen hundred dollars to car-
ry this exhibit through, and if it was
a Western, town 'they would put up
three thousand, and do it quick. We
have measured this county, her land
and her future and the great possibil-
ity
ities of her soil, and her great desir-
ableness to live in, and f%d her up
to the very highest standard, and now ""
we are compelled to measure her cit-
izenship, and see how well they are
qualified to be citizens of the very
best county in the state. Be kind
enough to give as we have asked you,
and don’t say because Mr. So-and-So
would not give what he ought to and
you won’t either, for if you take that
position, you measure yourself pretty ^
short, and it is a position that it
won’Nt do for anyone to take, for when
they do they cut out the very brat
part of their usefulness in this world
and are making a very bad break for
the best one of the two to come. The
„ ' -
farmers on the prairie land are com-
ing to our aid—some very
and others as they feel they ought to
—while they have not yet received
□ear the benefit that the
and truck belt has, and yet some of
them have been the biggest grihveO»''4
toward this great exhibit work.
