June llth—Which way, Uncle
Phil? Well, well, well, what will
happen next? I would just as soon
thought of meeting my great grand
mother as you, where have you
been keeping kourself?
O, I’ve been wandering around
first one place then another.
^Vhat is all the good word with
you and how is our good neighbors
getting along?
0, first-class I believe, most of
them was in Cisco Wednesday,
there was father Adkerson, Lee
Poe, Frank Trott, father Sims, Bob
Moreland.
Well, Uncle Phil, I am really
proud to meet with you, I would
love to talk a long time, I feel like
it would do my soul good but I
never was in a bigger hurry in my
life, I have been looking for some
one that has a row-binder but have
failed so far.
Dear me, brother Jim, I can put
you on hot trail this very minute.
Calvin Dawson has one, but you’d
better lose no time for Uncle Joe
and brother Billie I think aims to
see which can catch him first.
O, these people of P. H. is a pow-
erful working people, I’ll only men-
tion a few names however.
Joe S. is going a fishing,
When his summer’s work is done
The way he works it is a shame,
He works from sun to sun.
Frank T. works fair and square,
He never takes a rest,
Unless its Sunday morn,
When all have on their best.
Lee P. is more ’n double square,
You cannot afford to he with-
out an icc cream freezer; and we
want to sell you one of the best
made.
Give us your order for a good
mowing machine or binder.
Still selling the best buggies in
the country
We want to sell you a nice set
of single or double buggy har-
ness.
Can furnish you anything you
want in the shoe line.
We never get too busy to take
your measure for that tailor made
suit.
Fruit jar rubbers and tops just
received.
Buy stock food in bulk, its the
cheapest
See our new assortment of lap
robes.
Have a nice line of stylish hats
to offer the ladies yet.
We have a supply of ladies and
and childrens tan hose in the lat-
est drop-stitch patterns.
In fact a complete line of la-
dies goods, will appreciate a visit
from every lady in the Carbon
territory. Our Mrs. Rankin will
take pleasure in showing you
anything in this line.
WHY -- WALK?=
When riding is so cheap. We have just received a ear of the
best make of buggies, hacks and surries ever brought to
this market that we are going to sell at the
LOWEST PO^IBL t£ 2 * t * ICE
that a high grade buggy can be sold at You will have no trou-
ble in finding a cheaper grade of buggy at a lower price but
that is not what we are offering. We want to sell you a
high grade buggy in every respect at the very lowest
price it can be bought at
We realize that people do not want a cheap buggy any more and
that is the very reason we bought the highest grade buggy to be had
Be sure and dont forget Mor-
ris and Rankin when you want
a bill of fruit.trees, they repre-
sent one of the oldest and best
urseries the state.
We have the nicest line of fan-
cy candies to he had.
*
Just received a new shipment
of shot guns and rifles
When you go to figuring on
building dont forget we can sell
you nails for less than anybody
else.
I have two pair of mules for
sale—T J Morris.
Be sure to get some of our Cap-
itol stock food, one man says he
cured a bad case of heaves on his
horse with one 50cert package of
our heave cure. Don't fail to get
some of the stock food for your
cows, hogs, horses and chickens.
GREAT BARGAIN.
We have just received a supply
of the Famous “Khaki” suits
that were made for the govern-
ment soldiers in the Phillipines
but owing to “Uncle Sam” chang-
ing his notion about the color,
these suits have been sold at a
great sacrifice by the government
and weve been furtunate enough
to secure some of them and are
selling them at about what they
cost the government in large lots
Come around and let us ‘rig’ you
up in a good substantial work
suit that will last you until you
get tired of it.
He’s ever talking in the air,
Or either has his hounds on trail,
Of a very small animal with a very
short tail.
Will Me. has a very good name
With the farmers of our land
And lau, lau, at the tatershe makes
Up here in this deep sand.
Billie B. is a farmer too,
And dont you doubt but he’ll get
through;
He hoes his cotton, then his cane,
And keeps right square up just the
same. .
Willie P. works hard I think,
Because he always ha3 the chink,
You can pass the hat just any time,
And you’ll never fail to get a dime.
Frank Y. has learned this long ago,
And leaving Willie he comes to Joe
Then to Gulie he is sure to say
We’ve got to raise the chink today.
Now these are facts, its all plain
truths,
We wish this way to train the youth
And if you’ll give a helping hand,
I’ll insure a strong and happy band.

Benefits Derived From
Correspondents
Meetings.
(Paper read by W. A. Gentry at the
Herald correspondents entertain-
ment June 10, 1905)
The first thing I will notice is the
organization of the Correspondents
Assosiation, which shows unity of
thought and action. It has been
said if you drop a pebble in the
ocean it will start a wave that will
continue to roll until it washes the
most distant shore. So you will
see at once that we have a wide
field for thought. I would pity the
editor Who would invest his means
in a Ipcal paper without the co-op-
eration of his community. Such a
state of affairs would soon bring
failure in his business. On the
other hand, a paper with the en-
dorsement of the reading public,
the patronage of the business men
and the hearty co-operation of a
good corps of correspondents, each
representing his respective commu-
nity giving the local news in a nice
readable style, will soon feel that
hp is on the road to success. Such
an editor soon feels an interest in
his correspondents and begins to
plan to bring them together in an
entertainment which has several
pleasant and profitable features.

here, to our friends, thereby extending
A nice program has been prepar-
ed and important subjects have
been selected representing the in-
terests of the country educationally,
socially, commercially/ profession-
ally and business in general ways,
the circulation of a nice, clean and
readable paper, on the principle
that whatever good is accomplished
will never be lost but will continue
to live for time and eternity.
As we pass along we are only
giving prominence to the journalis- telling you of just a few of the ben-
tic part of it. Exchanging ideas
with regard to the special corres-
pondence pages which observation
and experience teach us is the most
important, most universally read
efits derived from correspondents
meetings.
Speaking of the Herald a promi-
nent man of this county said: “I
donT care much about it, but, I
and enjoyed by the readers
paper.
It gives us a chance to come to-
gether and get acquainted with
each other ana as a consequence
we appreciate each other’s notes
much more. And it also creates
enthusiasm that is stimulating and
we go away feeling that we were
benefited by attending the corres-
pondents meeting. /
Look how these meetings have
grown in interest within the last
few months. Bro. Curtis deserves
praise for the interest he has taken
in his correspondents. He has also
1 shown a great social interest in his
town by" planning and erecting the
“Curtis Garden” to be used ty the
the ■ always want to read it first.”
Believing as we do, as corres-
pondents, that the Herald is worthy
of our best efforts, and that we are
contributing to a good cause for
the common good, let us continue
in the future as we have in the past
to do all that we can to make the
paper equal in merits to any paper
f in this part of the state if not to
excel, and also to help make the
Association a success.
