WEDDING KINGS are circles of j
unions, not of states, but ot hearts
and hands. The marriage linger j
of the bride, like wedding bells,
must have its ring. Just now we j
aie showing wedding rings that j
excel everything in the city for]
weight and fineness. The ring
forms an essential part of the wed- j
• ling ceremony, and it's certainly j
just as essential for residents of
Gainesville to select their rings at
our store and from our unequalled
display of 1 1 and 18-karat fine-
u.css, which we are selling at from

h kk people.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predoniin-
I ate. The negro population of the
1 state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
i.awh.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable antl just any-
where.
homestead i.AWH
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage,
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
j state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. I!). The legisla-
ture shall h ive power, and it shall
l>e its duty, to protect by law from
j forced sale a certain portion of the
J personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall 1*> and is hereby pro-
i tected from forced sale for pay-
. ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
| thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve-
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife f;iven in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage tmst, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever lie valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have l>eeu created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and .ill pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more thai 200 aerosol land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
1G of Uie con |
"No current
service shall i
ever be subject to garnishment."]
I The statutes exempt the follow-
| ing personal property from forced j
| sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
j nitnre. All implements of lius
i bandry. All tools, apparatus and
i books belonging to any trade or j
j profession. The family library
I and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
I with necessary yokes and chains. I
I Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
1 tiles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and all current
wages for personal services.
To all single persons are re-
I served: "All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books l*>- i
longing to any trade or profession.
One horse, saddle and bridle. All
current wages for personal ser-
vices."
Wherever the people's homes
are safe there will patriots l>e I
found. Hence tramps antl beggars
are not so common among us as in
other countries.
TAXATION
Is light, our state ad valorum tax
is now 15 cents on the 1100, and j
' our state school taxis 12 'a cents |
! on the #100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the #100.
cooke county.
Cooke is one of the northern tiei
of counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory on
I the north by Red river.
It is a splendid farming section
i and is also well adapted to stock-
raising.
The soil of the county is about
| equally divided black waxey, san-
dy antl red sandy. About oue-
i half the county is timber and the
| balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water.
Red river borders the county on
the north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120 j
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
It now has a population of per-
haps 30,000.
The assessed value of property
in 1893 was #7,909,050.
LAND.
Improved lands are worth from
#10 to #50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be fonnd in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
EDUCATION.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city of
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools run
on an average of six month each
year.
ROADS.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantial
bridges span all streams.
K A II„RO A DS.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad runs through the county
from east to west and the great
Santa Fe system runs through
from north to south.
A road is surveyed and will soon
be built from Gainesville north-
east to the coal mines at McAles-
ter, I. T.
GAINESVILLE,
The count}" site, is located on the
Elm fork of the Trinity, six miles
south of Red river. It has a popu-
lation of about 10,000, and is a
busy, hustling, growing place. It
has eleven churches, six splendid
brick school houses, two good
flouring mills, an ice factory, an
iron foundry, the shops of the
Santa Fe railroad, a cotton com-
press, a broom factory, soap fac-
tory, cotton seed oil mills,
pressed brick works turning
out splendid brick, four
newspapers, three banks with a
capita] antl surplus of #650,000,
and various other enterprises.
It is a live place antl men with
money or muscle can do no letter
than to cast their lots here.
