Daily Courier Gazette, September 13, 1912
Hedgecoxe.
We found W. H.
Knight busy looking after his registered Poland Chinas, and they are
beauties. His big ad in the Daily Courier-Gazette and the Weekly
Democrat-Gazette are bringing results. parties in the market for that class
of hogs had better at quickly because his offerings won't last long.
Away back in
1910 B. H. Bryant and Miss Minnie Hutcherson decided to get married and that
settled it. A little boy of one month old the stork dropped on them is a
"thing of beauty and joy forever." Mrs. Bryant was on the alert for a good
paper and the Democrat-Gazette possessed the features that made it
attractive. We thank Mrs. Bryant for her subscription and feel assured that
she will appreciate the weekly visits of the big and popular newspaper.
Capt. J. S.
Dowell of McKinney, was in the community looking after his large farming
interests. His smile was of the genuine sort and no fake. Crops are big out
there and the captain's "smile that won't come off" is an indication of big
rents.
R. L. Love is an
industrious young man who lives with his parents and assists his father, R.
W. Love, to cultivate the John Hedgcoxe farm of two hundred acres which they
have been doing for the last six years. We take this occasion to thank him
for his check to pay for one year's freight on the Democrat-Gazette and
we'll take pleasure in writing up your wedding, Roy.
Twelve years ago
F. M. Kirby had Miss Hattie Payne were made one, and only two children call
Frank "daddy." He is a Tennesseean while Mrs. Kirby is a native of the state
noted for its pretty women, fast horses and - blue grass. For a dollar we
promised to send them the Old reliable, the Democrat-Gazette, for one year.
J. B. and Mrs.
McCandless married nearly twenty-eight years ago and eight children keep
things going some. One girl of eighteen summers, Miss Virgie, is blind and
has been ever since one year old. she is quite proficient in music and to
hear her perform on the organ or piano is a treat. On the 17th instant, she
will leave for Austin, where, on the day following, she will re-enter for
the seventh time, the State Institution for the Blind. We thank Mrs.
McCandless for subscription to the Democrat-Gazette.
J. H. Craig has
been reading the Democrat-Gazette for one month, but says its the kind of
paper he's been looking for.
J. T. Crowder is
another man who succeeded in winning a good woman for a wife. That was in
1894 and before she knew much about him. Five children gather around the
family table three times a day for meals but his big crops of corn, cotton
and wheat will keep meal in the bar'l and spare a dollar to pay for the
Democrat-Gazette one year and 75 cents for the Dallas News, or both papers
one year for $1.75.
H. C. and C. C.
Green two worthy young men are to be commended for their splendid judgement
for subscribing for the best paper published in Collin county, the
Democrat-Gazette.
Hes Dunn, native
of Tennessee but came to Texas in 1891, and settled near Wylie. Lives with
his brother Ellis, on the Killis Quisenberry farm and together are
cultivating one hundred acres of land, 60 in cotton and 40 acres in corn. We
are glad to enroll Mr. Dunn on our list of readers and he'll find in the
Democrat-Gazette, all the local news and much of the general news.
R. D. Robbins is
sure enough a native Texan but for reasons best known to himself, his father
immigrated to Arkansas where, for a number of years, Dick, as his friends
call him, remained, and it was there he found a pretty girl and he was so
persistent that she could not give him the shake. After his marriage he
returned to Texas and at the end of four years went back to Rackensack,
where Mrs. Robbins died. In due time he married for the second time and
tried his fortune for two years in Oklahoma. Six years ago he came back to
his native heath and is now farming because it pays. Nearly 300 acres are
groaning with the weight of big crops and he wants another good paper for
himself and family to read and we had the time and inclination to send him
the biggest and newsiest paper published in Collin county, the
Democrat-Gazette.
