Daily Courier-Gazette, January 22, 1912
Stinson.
T. J. Hall was
born and reared in this community and married in 1902 to Miss Susie
Gallagher. Owns 175 acres of dark, deep soil and his home is one of comfort,
convenience and happiness. Only three children to provide for and that's no
job with two black land farms. has been reading the Democrat-Gazette eleven
years, and renews his allegiance by the tender of a crisp dollar bill and
for three quarters more orders the Dallas News one year, both papers for
only $1.75.
J. B. Gray is
another enthusiastic reader of the Democrat-Gazette and whom we "victimized"
in 1903. Is the head of an interesting family and for only $1.75 renews for
his favorite county paper and Dallas News one year.
The past week
was cheerless overhead and decidedly disagreeable under foot. The daily
showers have kept the roads in bad condition for travelling in a buggy and
Buckskin carped his oats.
The
Democrat-Gazette is meeting with popular favor and its circulation is
growing by leaps and bounds owing to its settled policy of gathering and
publishing the county and local news regardless of labor or expense.

Weekly Democrat Gazette, January 10, 1913
STINSON.
W. H. McCreary is a
Texan because he couldn't help it, and frowned for the first time on a new
world, fifty-seven years ago. When only twenty-seven years of age fortune smiled
on Henry and he proposed and was accepted in marriage by Miss Permelia Offutt.
Eight boys and one girl tell the story. With 80 acres of well improved land he
didn't mind to part company with a rusty dollar for the Democrat-Gazette one
year.
Our itinerary last
week enabled us to meet many old friends, renew acquaintances and form many new
ones. Among the former we must not overlook T. L. Johnson, the popular merchant
of Parker, but who, we regret to say, will move to Oklahoma in a few weeks and
try his hand at farming.
Mr. Johnson has been
in the merchantile business for eighteen years and has been very successful.
Such men as he are a credit to any community and while we are sad because of his
departure from us, we congratulate the people of Oklahoma for acquiring his
citizenship.
To our correspondent
at New Life we extend thanks for New Year compliments and to each and all of the
staff bespeak a year full of happiness and prosperity.
