"Does the law requlre that one must always
turn to the right when meeting another

OF the middle of the road, when practicable,
or to taxi the right hand where the Travelled
track Is all on one side, except that it says,
s'Nothing in this section shall be so construed
rs to prevent q heavily laden wagon, when it
meets an empty wagon, from retaining the
Tight-of-way Of track"
Drs. Z. C. Hughes and VIM. C. Goodwin
have formed a co~-partnership for the prac-

business at Odessa. Both of these gentlemen
are too well known, professionally, socially
and as citizens, to need a good word at our
hands, but as ole friends, and as experienced
practitioners, it affords US pleasure to say of
them that they are worthy gentlemen and
skilled physicians. We feel satisfied that
they will enjoy a large practice and liberal
custom at their store, and we know they de-
serve 1t.

law Reid's treachery to his benefactor has
never been told fully, though enough has
become generally known to fully illustrate
Re DIS character.

These distractions are not at all necessary
