Raises Mostly Grain Crops.
W. B. (Bill) Pope, of the big
Pope farm near Celina, was in Mc-
Kinney Saturday and while here
presented us with a cart wheel for
(mother year’s reading to the Week-
ly Democrat-Gazette and says “we
ican’t ao without the Democrat,”
and we are glad of it for we could
ill afTord to do without Billy .\s oar
reader and friend. He says that his
crops are in fine condition but he
has in but little cotton. He devotes
more of his time and attention to
wheat and cats, and finds It very
profitable. He says that at his har-
vest time it is easy to get help but
in cotton picking time hands are
scarce, w’ages high and other Incon-
veniences whlc he does not experi-
ence In gathering his grain crop.
Billy and his family are doing well
on the big farm, which Is very grati-
fying to their many McKinney
friends, their former home.

UNIQUE DEMONSTRATION.
“Mechanical Man” Explains Merits
of Atkins & Co’s. Goods.
Not many -people have passed J.
r. Dowell’s store today without
stopping tt> pay attention to “Pat,”
the wonderful mechanical man who
Is now In their window busy at work
explaining the merits of saw mill
specialties, cross cut; hand and small
saws, machine knives, filing room
machinery and mill supplies, and he
seems to be doing it to tbc satisfac-
tion of all observers. “Pat,” as he
is called by Mr. J. W. Harrison,
special hand saw demonstrator for
E. C. Atkins & Co., Is indeed a won-
derful little piece of machinery. He
makes motions with his hands, nods
and shakes his head, gets down1 and
saws a plank, stops as though think-
ing over the job a few speonds and
goes at It again. It not only at-
tiacts the, grown-ups but is quite an
attraction for the little ones. E. C.
Atkins & Co. are of Memphis, Tenn.,
and are of the foremost saw and
Itool manufacturers in the United
•States. Their Mr. Harrison will be
hero unt’l Saturday at the big J. P.
Dowell hardware and furniture
store and invites anyone interested
in saws to call in and see him. Mr.
Hartleon is a very pleasant gentle-
man and will take great pleasure in
talking' and proving the merits of
the goods made by his house and sold
by J. P. Dowell.
Last Friday a representative of
The Daily Courier-Gazette and The
Weekly Democrat-Gazette interview-*
ed our business men with the view
of learning from first hands, the
trade conditions and present com-
mercial outlook.
MoKinney Dry Goods Co., by W.
D. Oates, lu the absence of the man-
ager, J. H. Montgomery: “Territo-
ry extends to every portion of Col-
lin county, inducting Weston, Blue
Ridge, Wylie, Celina, Prosper and
Frisco to say nothing about the
smaller towns and communities
within a radius of a few miles And
where the people look to McKinney
as being their trade center.”
J. H. Merritt: “Why certainly,
the volume of busciness is much
greater than at this time last year
and our territory expanding by leaps
and bounds. Automobiles enable
farmers living In remote sections of
the county to come to the city with
their shopping and return to their
hemee without unnecessary fatigue.
Good roads, autos and Judicious ad-
vertising produce results.”
Cheeves Bros.: “Business much
better, outlook brighter und no
doubt but what our territory is grad-
ually expanding.”
Morgan Weaver, by his son, Les-
lie: “Our business is much greater
than up to this time last year, and
our territory considerably larger, of
course. Our cash system and one
price to all Is creating a favorable
impression on the people of Collin
county anu they have been quick to
see that it enables us to sell for lees.
What we need, among other things,
to make a great McKinney is good
roads.”
Matthews Bros.: “>Ve are not
comparing this year with the one
preceding it, for. from a business
standpoint there Is none. With no
feed on hand last season the farm-
ers were forced to spend most of
their surplus money for grain and
hay which would enable them to cul-
tivate their farms, but this year has
been - the best &o far since our ad-
v»n> to McKinney. Our patroim are
from all parts of the county. With
good roads we would more than
bold our own.”
Dick Allen, gents furnishings: .
'".’’SS Alois' £*»««*.. staple trad faney
up since last year, and the outlook
at present decidedly optimistic.”
Mrs. W. E. Marshall, millinery
and ladies’ goods: “To be sure busi-
ness is brisk, judicious advertising
coupled with p. bright outlook from
the farmers’ point of view, making
it so. Our trade from Prosper, Ce-
lina and Frisco is better now than
for many years.”
Howell & Lucas: “Business good
and increasing all the time.”
J. A. Waters, shoes: “You are
right: our business is getting better
every month.”
Sidney Brown, implements and
vehicles: “The first of last March
was the date of my entry into busi-
ness lile in McKinney. Our business
through April was good and this
month starts out with the prospect
erf out-doing the one preceding it.
The outlook is magnificent.”
J. T. Couch, dealer in pianos and
organs:
improvement of trade, we are more
than holding our own.”
3. P. Dowell, hardware and furni-
ture: “Our business Is greater
than last year because farmers are
better eff financially. There Is less
complaint of hard times among the
tanners at thin season than we ever
knew before.
W. M. Shipley, tailor: “More mon-
ey and better business now than last
year. Nothing hut good roads and
a little enterprise lacking to have a
greater McKinney as we already
have the best town in North Texas.1
W. P. Suttle, shoes exclusively
“Put it down that my sales are full)
twenty-five per cent greater than for
the corresponding date of last year.
The one great problem now con-
fronting the merchants of McKinney
and the people of Collin county for
ultimate solution, is godd roads.
With that accomplished, business
expansion, a greater citv and pros-
perity would be assured.”
Jordan A Wheatley, suits and
typewriters: “We are doing
great deal more business than last
year,
G. W. Smith, ladies and gents tai-
lor: “My business is over one hun-
dred per cent better than last year,
owing to improved conditions and
judicious advertising.
C. J. Smith, automobiles: “Sales
over last year very great. Good
roads would help McKinnay and
business concerns of the town.
P. Less White, tailoring, pressing
and cleaning; pioneer in his line,
having established himself here
twenty years ago: “Business has
been so good with me this year, tbit
I am surprised at it myself. Best
In its history and good roads would
be the means of Increasing our
business and booming McKinney.
Advertising is the boat investment I
ever made.
C’. J. Haydon, groceries: “There is
a slight increase in my business over
last year.
Jake Morris, dry goods: “My busi-
ness at least seventy-five per cent
greater than last year
R. M. Brownlee, dry goods- “Have
been located here for a couple of
months only, but I am doing a satis-
factory business and it Is gradually
groceries: “Trade equally as good
as last year, perhaps better. With
improved conditions and better pros
pacts, am fully prepared to meet
greater demands.
Croi.ch-Hartzog Co., hardware,
furniture and undertaking: “We
have done more business now than
for the corresponding date of last
year, and with trade prospects grow-
ing brighter every day we have ev-
ery reason to believe It will get bet-
ter all tho time.”
O. A. Brannon, autos and auto
supplies: “Selling machines right
along and considerably more for the
same length of time than last year.
Yes, I’m a good loads booster, be-
lieve in them, vote for them, and
will help pay to build them.”
Kistler & Erlstol, staple and fan-
cy groceries: “We are doing tetter
than up to this time last#year and

G. J. S. Walker, buggies, harness
and everything pertaining to the
horse: “Glad you called. With four
years behind me, will say the pres-
ent season Is by far the best, and
the end Is not yet
Hedgcoxe Bros., groceries: “Our
sales when compared to those of
last year are about the same, al-
though there is a tendency to an in-
cieased business.
Ma8sio & *Walker, furniture, hard-
ware, vehicles, harness and under-
takers goods, by S. J. Massie: “The
volume of business this year com-
pared to what we did up to a corre-
sponding date last year, is greater
and the prospects decidedly better.
Conditions continue to Improve and
We were never more hopeful.”
G. F. Brannon, proprietor of Mc-
Kinney Steam Laundry: “People
need clean linen at all times, but
with the present era of prosperity
running rough shod over us, we soil
more clothe^, but our facilities for
washing the ‘duds” are equal to
meet any emergency and our deep
well supplies us with an abundance
of clear, soft water. Yes, we wash
more clothes now than ever before.
Price Stiff, groceries that are
strictly fresh: “Why certainly, I am
selling more groceries flow than Ipst
year, and there Is every reason to
believe that business will continue
to Improve.”
W. I). Goostree, groceries: “Yes,
sir, my business is away voi der
ahead of last year, and I’m still ex-
pecting to do more.”
A. J. Commons, country produce:
The American hen is doing business
at the same old stand, and since the
recent rains have practically assur-
ed the small grain crop, biddy is
scratching" and shelling the woods.
More eggs than Carter has oats and
still they come.”
R. W. Davenport, hardware and
The brief inteiviews with the
heads of the various business con-
cerns of the city brought out a few
tacts which might not come to light
otherwise. Fiist, the inducements
offered by our merchants in their re-
spective lines have drawn on Van
Alston© from the north and Plano
on the south, to say nothing about
the intermediate points including
Anna, Melissa and Allen along the
interurban. Weston, Celina, Pros-
per and Frisco, on the northwest
and w-est; Westminster, Blue Ridge,
Valdasta, Verona and Farmersville
on the east; Culleoka, Lucas, Clear
Lake and Wylie southeast and
south. »
Our position as solicitor for the
Daily Courier-Gazette und Weakly
Democrat-Guzette brings us in daily
touch with the farmers of Collin
county, their wives and daughters.
The people of Collin county look up-
on McKinney as being their tr.ide
center, and when proper inducements
are offered by the business concerns
of the city to draw them here, they
will come. Our local merchants
have, through the means of liberal
and judicious advertising, establish-
ed a reputation for low prices and a
good quality of goods, and it is a
source of pride that we often hear
some good woman speak of bar-
gains obtained In McKinney.
Automobiles In the country en-
able them to reach the city from the
remotest sections of the county and
when the day’s shopping is over re-
turn to their homes In the evening
in time to do the chores and without
fatigue. This necessarily means
good roads so people can get to town
when It Is too wet or muddy to work
upon the farm. There was not a
me:chant to whom the question was
put but who expressed himself as fa-
vorable to them, and fermers them-
selves are getting their eyes opened
to this one great Issue which, soon
or late, will confront them.
For fourteen long months we have
been In the fjeld carrying The Demo-
crat-Gazette banner to every nook
and corner, and we have enrolled

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
In conversation with a represen-
tative of this paper a few days ago,
Consul Commander Eugene Worden,
of the Farmersville Camp, Wood-
men of the World, stated that a big
banquet would be tendered the de-
gree team of that camp on Thurs-
day night, May 15, at which time the
team will exemplify the work as it
a 111 he put on at Put-ln-Bay, when
Ithe team contests for National hon-
ors. This banquet Is expected to
eclipse all former events of a like
nature in Farmersville, and promi-
nent Woodmen from several eec-
,’tions of the state will be present
and have place on the program.
The Farmersville team has re-
peatedly won high honors In state
and national contests since 1907,
and feel confident of retaining that
hccorable prestige if given the
proper encouragement—which they
ore sure to receive from their breth-
ren. ,
A cordial invitation has been ex-
tended the Woodmen camps In all*
the nearby towns and cities, and It
Is anticipated that an enormous
croWd of Woodmen will he present
on Ibis auspicious occasion. Every-
thing possible will be done to en-
tertain the visitors, and it is easy to
(believe, knowing the cordial hospi-
tality of the Farmersville people,
that the visitors will be royally en-
tertained.
An invitation, received by Sover-
eign Delegate Tom W. Perkins of
this city, reads as follows:
Esteemed Sovereign: The Farm-
ersville Degree Team, Fraternally
ana cordially Invites you, and your
Camp to be present at a special
Put-in-L»ay Demonstration meeting
to be held Thursday night, May 15.
We are going to have one of the
biggest and most enthusiastic
spreads ever given by this famous
Degree Team, and we have placed
your good and noble self on the
program. Do not disappoint us. We
all love you. Fraternally,
“EUGENE WORDEIf.”
It Is needless to say that Sover-
eign Perkins, and as many more of
the local Woodmen as can do so,
will gladly accept this cordial and
generous invitation.

Sells Another Little.
In a private letter to the editors
of the Dgtly Courier-Gazette and
Yl eekly Democrat-Gazette, C. Wesley
•Goodin writes from San Diego, Cali-
fornia, that he will soon return to>
Dallas, where he has accepted n
flattering offer, and will accept a
traveling position. Mr. Goodin left
here seme weeks ago for a several
months prospecting and pleasure
trip In the northwestern states and
along the Pacific coast. He and
Mrs. Goodin have been enjoying the
trip to the fullest extent, and they
had intended extending the trip to
various other places of Interest, and
did not anticipate returning here un-
til, rrobably after the hot weather.
But, Mr. Goodin says, this offer was
one which he did not feel Justified In
turning down, and he rather reluct-
antly decided to cut his pleasure
trip short In order to accept the of-
fer. He says that they will return
about June , and he will make Dal-
las his headquarters.'
The many McKinney friends will
regret to learn that these good peo-
ple will rot make their home In this
city, but arc gratified that they will
not bo any further away than Dallas,
where we may see them occasionally,
any way. ’ ......
We “Showed” Him.
C. J. Smith, one of McKinney’s
hustling and wide awake automobile
and garage men. recently sold a
“Little” car to Ben Williams, cash-
ier of the hank at Wegton.
One of our old subscribers who
lives in the Mt. Zion community,
five miles from the city, called at
our office last Friday and renewed
for his favorite county paper, The
Democrat-Gazette. He had let his
subscription expire on purpose, with-
out notifying us that he wanted to
continue taking it, to see if we
would chop his head off at the ex-
piration of time paid for. He has
been shown; we do stop when out,
and no one knows this any better
than A. C. Brock, to whom we refer.
By the way he’s a recent convert to
the good roads proposition, for until
a few months ago he was “agin It”
or. general principles and because It
war. very likely to cost him a little
money In particular. He realizes
the crying need of them now. and
will talk them and go down In his
jeans and help build them and then
vote a tax cn Ills black land farm
to martain them. Good for you, A.
C.
