The Waxahachie Daily Light

We were again pleased to shake hands with Cary Wilson, son of C. Wilson, down here. He is a chip off the old block, and knows how to handle his own affairs.

C. F. Weideman, a long time subscriber to the Enterprise and a good friend of the writer, was seen; and he gave us a renewal. He is the same old Charley and has many friends.

Miss Lula Allison, daughter of J. R. Allison, gave me a renewal to the Enterprise for another year. At one time Miss Allison resided in Waxahachie, and will be remembered by her numerous friends here. She and Mrs. Allison were very courteous to the field man, and like the paper.

J. W. Morris ordered the Enterprise sent to him. He owns a tailor shop and barber establishment, and is a hustler.

Bovee is represented by all lines that go to make a good town, and is surrounded by the best land in the county. The people are very hospitable and strictly up-to-date, and one feels the better by mingling with them.

R. G. Phillips, city, heads the list of Daily Light subscribers in being the first one to give me a year's renewal to the paper. The next to follow were W. S. Sharp, Scott Vickery street, W. Bas Williams, Midlothian 2, W. F. Jones, Forreston; C. L. Pollock, Waxahachie 4, and G. W. Golladay, Forreston 2. This is encouraging. Keep the ball rolling. I hope to get many more yearly renewals and new subscribers to the Daily Light. You save a dollar in this way, and at the same time it helps the field correspondent.

T. A. Som, Italy, a long time reader of this paper, was here last Friday. I once lived on the late Tom Yates farm and from there to the Huke farm, but like all hustlers, would not content until he owns his own home. He has a good farm now and is prosperous.
