S. J. Moulden was reared in this community. 1901 was his lucky year for Miss Mattie Cothes became his better half and since then the mother of his three children. Lives on his father's old home farm, the latter having moved into the town. He's going to read the Democrat-Gazette a year and our pockets jingled with more silver.
J. L. Moulden, ex-sheriff of Collin county serving two terms in that office. One son, J. P. (Pat) was for four years the efficient county clerk and now chief clerk in the comptroller's office at Austin; R. L. Moulden, another son, is a prominent attorney of Farmersville. An honored citizen of Collin county, we take pleasure in acknowledging renewal to the Daily Courier-Gazette, a paper he has been reading several years and appreciates.
L. Cloninger formerly lived near Pottsboro, Grayson county, but became a citizen of grand old Collin six years ago. With his pockets bulging with green goods, we relieved him of $1.75 to pay one year's freight on the Democrat-Gazette and Sherman Democrat.
Mrs. L. E. Emberton came from Missouri fifty-five years ago and has lived on the same farm all that time. Mother of several children, but all married and settled in homes of their own. We thank Mrs. Emberton for a dollar on subscription to a paper that will furnish the news, local, state and national. The Democrat-Gazette meets all classes and conditions, and is the people's paper.
Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, lost a good man when W. A. Jackson packed his duds for Texas. Was married eight years ago and can show up six children. Our lands are productive and people prolific. come to Collin county and raise big crops. It cost only a dollar to provide the home with a good paper-the Democrat-Gazette.

T. C. McMillen is a young married man with a wife and two children. Miss Minnie Matlock became Mrs. McMillen in May, 1907. We commend Tolly for the exercise of good judgment in providing his home with the very best literature, such as contained in the Democrat-Gazette.
Comfort A. McMillen is perhaps the oldest man in Collin county. Born in Arkansas and near the Missouri state line, January 29, 1818, which puts him within a few days of ninety-five years of age. His sister, Purminda, at the advanced age of 93 and who lives with her brother, Lewis, near Allen whose age is 91, form a trio whose combined ages age 279 years. "Uncle Allen" landed in Collin county January, 1845, acquiring in the course of time several hundred acres of land on which he has reared a large family of children. Has seen his fourth generation, but he has no idea as to the number of his descendants. Was converted and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church in 1839 and for seventy-four years has lived the life of a Christian. We have know this veteran of the cross since 1889, and it was a rare treat indeed to spend an hour in his presence and hear him relate the history of his life and refer occasionally in terms of affection to his deceased wife who has preceded him to the glory land. He gave us a dollar to add his name t our thousands of Collin county readers and the Democrat-Gazette appreciates the honor conferred by this aged and highly respected citizen.
W. J. Harris, living on the late Dr. King farm one mile east of town and who has cultivated it for a number of years, gives a dollar in exchange for the Democrat-Gazette one year.
B. F. Berryman was born in Tennessee, but in the fall of 1870 came to Texas and ten years later was married to Miss Jessie Brigham. Three times has the stork visited them, leaving two pretty girls and one boy. On his 145 acre farm there is a modern residence and a new, large barn costing several hundred dollars. Nothing but thoroughbred stock will satisfy him and scrubs don't pay at any price. His brother, James, was justice of the peace for a term in precinct 5, but now is police judge in Mangum, Okla. We are glad to enroll Mr. Beryman on our big list of readers and the dollar paid on subscription will help pay our pastor's salary.
W. H. (Bud) Brigham is a native of Collin county, catching his first glimpse of a new world in 1858. When only 24 years of age, was married to Miss Fannie Daniels, daughter of "Uncle Bill: Daniels, an early settler of this community. Mr. and Mrs. Brigham are the parents of seven children and five of them girls-all single except one daughter and son. Their second son, Jimmie, is now a student in Polytechnic College at Fort Worth, while one of the daughters, Miss Vera, is one of the teachers in the high school at Wylie, being a graduate of the North Texas Normal college, at Denton. Mr. Brigham and family are loyal Methodists and consistent members of theat church. He is an Odd Fellow, Mason and a Woodman. An upright citizen, devoted husband and father it is needless to say that his is also a most successful farmer, recently purchasing two tracts of land in addition to his already large realty holdings. It is a source of pride for us to realize that his excellent family from now on will be readers of the bid Democrat-Gazette.
In 1904 W. W. Combs had to get a move on himself to keep the other fellow from stealing his best girl, Miss Stella Housewright. There are "four and no more" in the Combs family and they will read some very interesting items for the next twelve months, as published in the Democrat-Gazette.

H. U. Corzine, a prosperous and industrious farmer of that bustling little city south of McKinney, dug up a dollar for the Democrat Gazette one year.
MURPHY
Eight years ago H. R. Wood and Miss Maggie Starnes were united in the hold bounds of wedlock and have only four children. We knew Hosea in his boyhood, and we take pleasure in adding his scalp to our belt and sending the Democrat-Gazette to another good family.
J. E. Starnes persuaded Miss Cora Stinson to change her name in 1902. Their three robust children are the strongest evidence of peace and prosperity in the home. We pulled him for his last dollar and the Democrat-Gazette is again happy.
Mrs. W. B. Franklin, whose husband was absent building a house near Allen, subscribed for the Democrat-Gazette for which she will accept our thanks.
J. R. Strange was just one by himself until he met Miss Allie Daniel in 1898. since then two others, a boy and a girl, have entered their Strange home. The daughter, Miss Fay, is studying music under Miss Ruth Brigham in connection with other studies in the school at Murphy. Mr. Strange owns 80 acres of the homestead of "Uncle Billy" Daniel and there is no better dirt in that section. With twenty bales of cotton unsold he could well afford $1.75 for the Democrat-Gazette and Dallas News one year.
Charlie McCauley is an old citizen of Texas, hailing from the old Tar Heel state but unfortunately was water bound in Arkansas for thirty-five years before forsaking the paw-paw diet. Twelve years ago he had the misfortune of losing a barn with all of its contents, including a span of mules purchased only two weeks before. Last October he was again visited by the fire fiend and another barn with all of his corn with the exception of a few wagon loads remaining in the field, went up in smoke. He and Mrs. McCauley are warm personal friends of Senator Perkins, for during the latter's early struggles in establishing the Wylie Rustler, he boarded with these good people. Albert McCauley is their son and at present the superintendent of the county farm. Mc. McCauley pushes his figures up another year by one dollar on renewal.
