Mr. Roberts has large herd OF cattle

On Mr.. Keller ia Fort Worth q few
daysago,
Il IS about decided that Keller is to
have that Masonic hall and work
thereon will doubtless begin ia teW

DIR. Tate has put up n dandy stable
In the rear Of Burnett & Clark's drug

weather-stained logs and a. d re-

The Social Glass; will be played

with their parts, and good entertain

Ia not II about time for somebody TO
announce for commissioner OF this
precinct? IL Squire Maddox cannot
stand II another term LEI us make Dan
Hjghtower takeit. In case both go
back on us, there Is Mr.. Scott, pros
porous and intelligent farmer at
Hodge, a man with a head for just
such business as county commissioners
have to transact.
The anonymous letter idiot has also
broken loose In this community. Some
time ago a prominent business firm
here received specimen OF his fine
Italian round writing, poor spelling
and worse grammar, the purport of
which was that unless the said firm
did certain things which he, the poor
imbecile, wanted them TO do, from
this time heneeioarthn--l quote
verbatim--"your property, the store,
your houses, your lives are at stake,
by powder, dynamite or otherwise
No attention was paid 20 this, The gem
knowing too well the mean, cOwardly,
snealIing character of the dirty ours
who write anonymous letters the
the world over 10 be in the least afraid
Of them. IL would have been forgot
ten ere this If the same craven hand
had not addressed similar piece of
imbecility to young man here, In
which an attempt was made to
blacken the character of an estimable
and worthy young lady in this neigh
borhoOd. The writer of both these
letters Is well known to the par
ties concerned, and If 1t were
not for the utter insigniticance
OF the creature II would have been
trodden into the dry, hard surface OF
Tarrant county until noqeven itsl long,
prying nose remained visible above
dirt | sometimes wonder how hui
man thing feels when IL sees itself in a
mirror, after having written an
letter.
DIR. Boyd, the competent and accom-
county treasurer, now has
the papers that let him ride on any
and every train that runs in and out of
Fort Worth to and from Keller. This
will enable the doctor to get home Sat
urday nights and bring us the
latest city news that would 9TH
erwise be delayed until the fol-
lowing morning. 1t certainly speaks
well for the worthy gentleman's eff
cheney as u county official that no one
has had the nerve to run against him
for his important office. Now II the
other candidates had an equally nice
and solitary thing OF it, what a picnic
IL would be.
The autumn equinox begins at $40
a. m. Monday, Sept. %, and then ac-
cording to some Of our local weather
prophets, the rainy season will "Open
upp for business. Let Ter open. 1t
will be windy, too, but not altogether
from political causes, and "wild with
the gales Of September. will wrestle the
trees of the forest like Jacob Of old with
the angels"
