Dm old building, which will be
re-placed by a modern and up-
todate gin house. The very latest
ging machinery win also be in-
sis.led and when the work is
completed South Bosque can boast
of having one of the best gin
plants in Centeral Texas.
Mr. D. L. Cotta of Waco has
purchased the old Deyerle mill
and work has begun remodling
and overhauling the buildings.
The work is under fhe supervi-
sion of Mr. L. A. McMillen, who
with his family have moved to
McGregor and are living in the
Crain cottage on Jefferson Street.
Mr. Cotta is an, experienced
mill man and has been operating a
mill in Waco for the past fifteen
years and is well know'n through-
out the state as a producer of
good flour and meal. Mr. McMil-
len is also experienced in the mill
business, and the two gentleman
have been associated in this line
for many years.
In speakipg of the many im-
provements that are to be made
here, Mr. McMillen said that the
work would take some two
months or more before getting
things into shape, and the machin-
ery to be installed will be of
the very latest type for making
of flour. Tie said that as good
flour and meal could be made in
McGregor, out of the wheat and
fhe corn that were raised here, as
any flour or meal that Were ship-
ped into the town, no matter
where it came from, and that the
people of this community Avould
be convinced of this more
thoroughly whin the ucav es-
tablishment began turning out
home products manufactured out
of homegrown grains.
McGregor welcomes this new
business and we are sure that the
people of this entire community
are willing and ready to stand
behind Mr. Cotta and help him
make a success out of a real flour
FIREMEN HELD
THEIR ANNUAL BANQUET
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
The basement of the Lutheran
church was the scene of a banquet
last Friday evening given by the
Volunteer Fire Department, and
te event was a delightful one
as are all such occasions sponsored
by this fine organization. The
banquet was served by the ladies
of the church.
For this occasion, the wives,
sweethearts and a few invited
guests, were present to share with
the fire boys one of the best feeds
ever prepared in this city for a
company of able-bodied men. The
menu Was perfect with chicken,
dressing, roast, peas, potatoes,
salads, etc. to the serving of brick
cream and cake. *
A. C. Amsler acted as toast-
master, and in his usual way, did
not let a dull minute enter into
the program. The tiatermaster
called on Fire Chief Jim Harding
to extend the welcome, but lie
having a bad cold, had asked
Carroll Woods to act in his stead,
who did so in a very nice way.
Mrs. Billie Wheat responded in a
pleasing manner. Among guests
present were, the three city com-
missioners and each one made a
short talk, praising the fire boys
for their splendid work and assur-
j ing them of the city’s coopera-

A BILL
Is an indication that some
one has had faith in your
honesty. A bill indicates
that some one who knows
you depends upon your
honor to keep the word you
pledged when you received
the goods which he furnish-
ed. It is an honor to receive
a bill the first of the month.
Your creditor may owe for
the goods he has sold you.
He extended credit on the
assumption that you would
pay him ‘in time to meet his
obligations to his jobber. If
he fails to make cash pay-
ment to his jobber he must
issue his note at interest.
If you never received a
bill it might indicate that
your credit was worthless;
that no person trusted you;
that' you wore held in such
poor esteem by those who
know you that none of
them has even been willing
to take your word that you
would pay.
Credit is the most preci-
ous thing you have. Credit
comes only through years
of honesty and prompt
meeting of bills when they
are due.
When you receive a bill
meet it when you agreed to,
if you possibly can. If you
can not, frankly tell your
creditor why. You will find
him more than ready to
meet you half way.
tion in every way possible.
Dan Nicholson, fire marshal of
Waco, was the main speaker of
the evening, whose talk was very
interesting. He told of the many
things that a city had to contend
with in combating fires, and was
of the opinion, with some twenty
years experience in the capacity
of which he how holds, that over
half of the fires in Waco were
caused by absolute carelessness or
were set a fire; the latter being in
the majority.
Others on the program whose
numbers were enjoyed were vocal
solos by Miss Maude Cuenod, Rev.
II. Krause, Heinz Quebe. Mr.
Quebe also rendered a violen solo
and Rev. Krause gave a piano
number. Alf. H. Kreyer’s orches-
tra furnished music before and
during the banquet hour.
It is a fine bunch of fellows
composing the McGregor fire
department, who never fail to res-
pond to the fire alarm in all sorts
of weather, either day or night,
without pa}* or promise of reward,
but solely in line of duty, and
ber.t on doing all they can to save
any and all property from des-
truction.
