ON THE WING
Weekly Democrat Gazette, May 9, 1912
contd
Halting in front of T. P. Helms he sized us up and noted the better part by having the publishers to send him the Democrat-Gazette for a year. Mrs. Helm has a few hens of the light Brahma strain that furnish the home with plenty of eggs and about sixty chicks some of which will soon be classed as broilers and friers. This particular strain she considers among the best as invariably the hens are hardy, good layers and excellent mothers.
F. S. Perry claims to be a Tennesseean, but his neighbors say that he came direct from Arkansas to Texas and that he did visit the old volunteer state some years ago to see the land of his fathers. It makes no difference now, for he rolled something to us for the Weekly Democrat-Gazette.
F. D. Flannery is a son of the late W. B. Flannery who was a subscriber to the Democrat-Gazette for many years, and acts wisely by having us send him the favorite newspaper of his deceased father into his own home. We value the friendship of the Flannerys.
When we approached Stiles Miller he held up his hands and told us to ask for what we wanted, for he remembered an incident of 1901 when, at the muzzle of our gun carried at that time, he was forced to get on the band wagon and read a mighty good paper, and now with a weapon with greater persuasion, he anxiously got out the price while we "poked" a receipt to him for a year's subscription to the Democrat-Gazette.
T. P. Huff was a stranger and while he lives on his own farm and monarch of what he surveys, he noticed the blood in the eyes of your field man, and with "fear and trembling" accepted our terms of surrender and got anxious to close the deal. We closed it, and he's another reader of the Democrat-Gazette.
J. P. Loftice, a successful farmer and stockman, and one who farms because it pays, reduced his Duroc breed of hogs from over one hundred to only a few gilts. Mules, horses, corn and alfalfa are all hobbies. A new residence, large barn and orchard set with a variety of fruit trees are evidences of good taste and sound judgment. It is needless to say that he will read the Democrat-Gazette, for a man of his intelligence couldn't do otherwise.
