cry. Henrietta covered herself all ovct
with glory Tuesday by voting a schoo
tax of fifty cents on the one hundred
dollars of property. Nipety-ilve pei
cent. of the entire vote polled was u
favor OF the tax. The next thing OF
docket is commodions school build
ing. 1t is only matter of a short
space of time when the much needed
house will be put up. The county will
| build a 5000 court house this sum
mer, and the city a Sl),O00 or $1,000
school building, aud then we can snap
our flngersa at tho next railroad, - The
city il. bound to keep up with Texas
towns.

that he wishes insured; must state IN
words that he wishes dry goods, Loots,
shoes. hats, caps, and must say iron
safe il he wishes il insured. The law
should compel all the fire insurance
companies to pay what they agree to
pay upon an open policy, IL matters
not whether they have the amount
said TO be In stock, If the company ac-
cepis the premiums. This law would
make the agents more careful to take
risks at Just what they are worth, and
would keep dishonest men from bnrn
ing out for the amount of their pol
icies.
