The street lamps of Dallas were
liz last night for the first time in sever
al months. The average citizen, who

from Sherman announcing that the
Diboll & King Composition Gravel
Roofing saved the building of Mr.. j.
d. McCamant. We may be permitted

now adopting this roofing, to the ex-
clusiOn of all metal roofs, because of Its
perfect protection against fire and
cheapness. Messrs. ID. and X. would
solicit orders from all towns along the
line Of the railroads and can put their
roofing OH much cheaper than when
tin Is used.

in the future such accidents M the
above might not happen. The lady,
although considerably bruised, was not
seriously injured.

this number unusually attractive.
