ON THE WING
Weekly Democrat Gazette, January 10, 1913
Personal Mention of People
You Know by Our Field Man.
After two weeks
rest Buckskin was eager for the fray and with head erect "burned the wind"
last Monday until the field of battle had been found.
PARKER.
W. H. Maguire
was married to Miss Sally Stinson in 1899 and their children are all in all,
of course with fifty-two acres of choice black land, it is no job to feed
and clothe them. For just one slice of the long green we are going to send
him a mighty good paper for one year, the Democrat-Gazette.
F. L. Myrick
lives on a beautiful farm of seventy-three acres, and it is all his. Found
himself and son, Everett, both sick with lagrippe. He has been reading the
Democrat-Gazette for fifteen years.
H. H. Chumly,
formerly a coal miner of Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, but since Sept. 1911,
has been living in Texas. We felt two inches taller when we removed the top
of his head nd added another scalp to our belt. He was glad to shell out a
dollar for a county paper that makes a specialty of county and local news,
the Democrat-Gazette.
T. J. Dillehay
is a native of Tennessee, fought the Yanks when they undertook to meddle
with our affairs and at the advanced age of seventeen years was caught in a
net woven and spread for that purpose by Miss Eliza Kemp. Ten years ago
moved from Tennessee to Ellis county where he continued to reside until two
weeks ago. Is now a full-fledged citizen of Collin county and says he has
come to stay. A dollar bill puts him in close touch with Collin's biggest
and newsiest paper, the Democrat-Gazette.
J. H. Dillehay
whom the writer has known for nearly twenty years and long before he told
Miss Letita Gregory love's sweet story, is now the head of an interesting
family. Owns 216 acres of land which he can cash any day for $100 per acre.
Has over 200 acres leased from C. C. Gregory, his father-in-law, and thinks
he will farm this year. We caught Mr. Dillehay "on the fly" on day last
summer in Plano and he's a big Democrat-Gazette booster now.
C. A. Vinson is
a young man who was born and reared in this community. We thank Cary for
cash on renewal to his favorite county paper, the Democrat-Gazette.
L. B. Weaver,
son of the late Col. W. M. Weaver, born and reared in Collin county. Was
formerly a stock raiser but of late has devoted his attention mainly to
farming. This writer place him on the list of the Democrat in the spring of
1901, nearly twelve years ago and there's not a warmer or truer friend to
the Democrat-Gazette today than he. Our old, true and tired friends make us.
W. M. Nelson
never knew what true happiness was until he wooed and won Miss Rena Wilson,
May, 1911. Only one little girl, but she'll be plenty when frills and puff
powders get busy. He subscribes for the big weekly and his dollar will
enable us to declare a dividend by the next full of the moon.
J. L. Nelson is
a brother of the above, but the matrimonial bee has not pushed himself very
hard against the tender spot or James would have felt a desire to move
toward Dan Cupid. His coin wheeled into our picket, and the Democrat-Gazette
goes to another reader for twelve months.
B. F. Wilson has
made and gathered a crop of 42 bales of cotton the past season. His wife has
been in bad health for fifteen years, but he boasts of a couple of twin
girls, who will live many years before they can be classed as old maids. It
only cost the small sum of one dollar to provide these young ladies with a
good family paper, the Democrat-Gazette.
C. B. Cheatham
was born in Mississippi, but came to Texas when quite young, because his
parents desired a change. Several years ago he taught stenography in a
college located at Dallas but owing to his mother's advanced age, he
returned to the farm to look after her interests. he subscribes for the
Democrat-Gazette a year and plunks a long dollar bill.
W. B. Gathin is
another good man who hails from the old Volunteer State and scoops twenty
nickels into the till for the Democrat-Gazette for fifty-two copies of that
splendid county paper. Miss Cena Shrader became his better half in 1905.
There are four in family now and he has no apologies to offer. Owns a good
farm and lives at home.
Mrs. S. V. Ward
who has been reading the Democrat-Gazette for over twenty years, tenders a
dollar on renewal. She was given a write-up by this writer last summer.
