WOODDALE
On the Wing
Weekly Democrat Gazette, May 11, 1913
contd. Coffman
L. J. , who is a product of
Collin County, renews his subscription to Collin's biggest and best weekly, The
Democrat-Gazette. He and Mrs. Stevenson (formerly Miss Cora Nichols) have only
two robust children to provide for.
W. S. Powell, who is a young
married man, but who was anxious to subscribe for The Democrat-Gazette, because
its the only newspaper in McKinney having wire service and thus enabled to
furnish its patrons original news just from the reel. He and Miss Ethell Cromer
were united in the holy bonds of wedlock three years ago. We asked no
questions, but lying on the bed was a tiny something covered with frills which,
for ought we know, was a China doll some thoughtful neighbor had sent them.
G. A. Coffey, who is a son of the
late Esquire Jessee Coffey, subscribed for The Best Paper On Earth, because is
was for many years the favorite county paper of his deceased father. Mr. Coffey
and his two sisters, Misses Mary and Cynthia, reside on the old homestead
settled by their honored and worthy sire in 1854, and within a stone's throw of
the school house.
We are under obligations to Y. H.
E. Powell, who is one of this community's big farmers and largest land owners
for a good dinner for ourselves and a big feed of oats for Buckskin.
C. B. Stanley is an ex-Ellis
County citizen, who came to Collin last January, because its the best county in
the world. With himself, wife and a small family of children (only twelve) he
could easily afforded to subscribe for the Best Paper On earth; and The Weekly
Democrat-Gazette has laughed until all the buttons are off its trousers, because
up to the present there is an unbroken record of landing every Ellis County man
with whom it has come in contact on its big list of readers. Ellis County people
are intelligent and have ready cash.
