W. T. (Will) Uussell of Clear Tzike
was In the county seat Monday and
gave our office a business cull to re-
new for The Weekly Democrat-Ga-
zette. ||e is a son of the late P. Q
Uussell, a wiilelx known and honored
pioneer citizen of that section before
his death several years ago. Will was
happy over the fact thal his district
(Clear Like and Culleoka) had voted
Saturday in favor of issuing bonds to
build a mileage of good roads there.
Ho said it was well-nigh impossible
to gel to Wylie from Clear Lake on
account of the mud through East
Fork and Pilot bottoms which in
rainy weather became practically im-
passable. An $85,000 bond issue was
authorized. t VV'e appreciate both Will
Hassell's friendship and patronage.

Monday from Princeton to McKin-

chased the It'll Benson residence
property on South Wilcox street and
now occupies the same as a home.
Alma Wilson is the oldest son of the
late Geo. A. Wilson, who, for more
than a half century, was one of our
county's most substantial and esti-
mable citizens. Mrs. Wilson is a
daughter of the latu Jordan (>.
Straughun, who for many yours held
the district clerkship of this county
and -was known and honored by every-
one. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson reared a
large family of children In Princeton
which thriving town they helped
found and have had a leading part In
developing Into Its present prosperous
proportions and growth. Mr. Wilson
owns extensive farming Interest.! m
that section, but the advent of pike
roads, autos and phones has done
much to eliminate the handicap of dis-
tance and time and ho feels that he

cing any material Interest In or

only about seven miles east of our
city. McKinney cordially welcomes
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson as permanent
citizens of the town. We need more
such worthy people among us as are
Mr. and Mrs. Alma Wilson.

representatives ,•» McKinney for the
last day or two. The company has
been in active operation about five
months and In this short time have
already perfected and built their
demonstration tractor. In addition to
the tractor the company states tha*
they will manufacture trucks, 1r tilers
and custom-made bodies, at present
however all energies will be concen-
tf'utcd on the tractor which will be
known as the Armstrong Universal
farm tractor.
The farm tractor Is coming to the
front and according to the Messrs.
Hill this tractor will he In such de-
mand that they will have to Increase
their capitalization if they are enabled
to care for the demand for their pro-
ducts, but they expect to put out ic.»v*
era! hundred tractors this year. They
state that they are nmw negotiating
with eastern concerns for the making
of tractor units and parts. Orders
which arc now being filed will
be filled within the next ninety days
so the factory expects. A large amount
of the stock of the company lias al-
ready been plaeod ,xmfhioli Is In favor

There Is a likelihood that the main
