Advice to Prospectiye Bridegrooms.
K. Lamity's Harpoon.
When a good, strong, honest,
energetic young man in Texas
decides to marry, and persuades
some sweet young girl to have
him, it's his own fault if he is
not well fixed and in easy cir
cumstances inside of ten years.
Of course he must work-be
economical-live within his in
come and not spend every cent
he can lay his hands on. I'll
guarantee the girl will do her
part.
It is almost impossible for a
man to get the worst of the
trade in a matrimonial bargain.
If he will be half as courteous
and loving and attentive to
Maria Jane after he marries as
he was trying to persuade her to
marry him the old girl will tear
her kimona into doll rags to
please him and they will be as
happy as two kittens in a wool
basket.
The boy who is reared in the
country has all the advantage
of the town raised lad when it
comes to making a living. He
knows how to do things worth
doing. He may not know how
to tie his cravat in the latest
style or play billiards, but he
can haul wood, make fires, build
fences, fatten *hogs and raise
more corn, hay, fodder and cot
ton than he needs and turn the
surplus into good solid cash.
When winter comes on he will
have a smokehouse full of good
old country bacon, more lard
than he needs, a crib full of corn
and plenty of fat horses and
cows-and, incidentally, Maria
Jane will have a backyard full
of fat yellowlegged chickens
that are -just dying to get in a
frying pan.
If he knows his business well,
he will have a big, fat beef steer
dressed and salted away, and
when meal time comes he don't
have to chase to the market and
pay 75 cents for 20 cents worth
of bullneck steak that's so tough
you can rope a horse with the
gravy. That's what I call living.
The man who owns a good
farm in Texas to-day is a prince
-but inside of the next twenty
years he will have to pay four
times the price which he pays
to-day. For that reason I warn
the young men to get a move on
themselves now. If you haven't
got the money, get it on credit
and work it out.
This country is filling up with
people. From the frozen north
and east they are comning in by
the train load and are buying up
the rich lands all over the state.
Thousands of Germans,Swedes,
Danes and other nationalities
are trooping in and are becom
ing citizens. Most of them are
good cieizens, too-honest, in
dustrious, frugal and intelligent
men. They come from old and
overcrowded countries where a
poor man can never hope to be
rich or even accumulate a decent
living, and they appreciate the
conditions in this new country.
Just watch them grow rich and
buy land. They never sell any
-but as soon as they get a few
dollars ahead they add to their
landed property. It only takes
a few years for one of those
energetic, hard-working Ger
man or Swede farmers to get
ich.
I don't believe the average
y oung native Texan realizes the
grea.t opportunities he is daily
letting sip through his fingers.
One fault of our native popula
tion heretofore has been a dispo
sition to sit around stores, chew
tobacco, spit at cracks and cuss
"foreign populations the are
ruining the countr'' While
they have been busily engaged
masticating their plug cut, an(
Joing the swearing stunt, th<
above-mentioned "foreign popu
lation" have been "ruining th<
country" by buying the ra
land, breaking and fencing it
and making crops that cause thi
Dld native tobacco masher t<
open his eyes. The result ha:
been that these foreign farmer.
who in most cases reached Texa.
as flat as a coat of paint on
tin roof, now own a large por
tion of the best farms Of thi
tate and have money to burn
They don't burn it, however
They lend it to people who onci
eclared they were "ruinin
bhe country." Take note of th<
well-to-do foreigners all ove
le country and see if I am no
elling the story correctly.
The foreign population nov
pouring into Texas is going t<
increase-instead of decreasing
While of course we get som
people we don't want the grea
majority are good, honest mei
who come here to work, mak
money and become good, soli
itizens. As a rule, the "unde
3irable immigrant" settles firs
in the larger towns, and late:
on, if he doesn't behave, settle:
in the penitentiary. He seldom
if ever, locates in the country
For he wouldn't last long amon
the ,ood,honest farmers. Abou
the first bad break he made the]
would break his dirty neck.
I am proud of Texas-prou<
of our native citizenship-an<
proud of that large poition o
our foreign population that hav
been of so much help in build
ing up our great state. I do no
envy them their. success, fo
God knows they earned it. Bu
I do want to try and impres
this one idea into the minds o
the young native Texans-ge
a home and get it now. Don'
wait till somelelse steps in ani
buys the lartd.
It will not be any cheaper nex
year. In ten years you won'
be able to buy it without payin
twice as much as it is now liste4
You have seen it going steadil
up for years-so get it now.
Don't make your engagemen
too long. Tell Mary Jane to ge
ready, land is going up all ove
the country, and if she keep
hanging fire, -you will have t
rent land all of your life frot
some rich Dutchman who cam
here broke ten years ago, bough
land on credit and is now a dire<
tor in a bank. That's what wi
happen if she don't get her spa:
ker in working order, arid sto
skidding and losing time.

Sister Dora Silvester Bogg:
wife of Wade H. Boggs, an
daughter of Mr. and Mr:
J E. Gillespie.
Mrs. Boggs was born Marc

and mother, one brother an
two sisters, three little childre
-a boy 5 years old and
girl 3 years old and the baby
months old.
Sister Dora was a good gli
to know her -was to love he
She was a dutiful and obedie:
daughter, an affectionhte siste
a loving and devoted wife, ai
a dear, tender mother.
The writer baptised her in
the fellowship of Prater's Cre<
Baptist church some 10 or
years ago, from which time s.
has lived an exemplary Chr

the Lord Jesus Christ.
She had been married but
I little over seven years. Started
life with sparkling eyes, rosy
- cheeks, a. loving heart, and with
a resolution to surmount all diffi
culties. But alas! Afflictions
soon began to blast her hopes,
and for the last two or three
years she has been a great suf
ferer until her last sickness and
death. She bore her afflictions
with Christian courage and for
titude. She never murmured
- nor complained about her condi
tion, perfectly resigned to the
will of the Lord. She feared
not death. She said she was
a ready and willing to die if it
was God's will. All she regrete,
ted was leaving her little chiK
dren.
b Dear loved ones and friends,
weep not for her as one who,
has no hope, for she is freed
from suffering and pain, ana
has gone to join those two little
i ones that died in infancy.
b She was buried in the family

the services.
r Farewell, dear Dora. You

conclude by dedicating to hW.
memory the following:
Servant of God, welf done,

And while eternal ages run,
