The gem folding crib at T. w. Dono-
vans is the most convenient article of the
kind we have ever seen. It is neat, well
made, can be let down and rolled under
your bed in ten seconds, is not easy to
get out of order, and is the most con-
venient and best looking trundle bed we
ever saw. Look at them, next door east
of Oscar Ayers.
Christian johnson, the census taker,
is nearly through with the enumeration
of this city. If there be any person with
in the limits Of Austin who has reason to
believe his name has not yet been taken,
he should report immediately, either to
Mr.. Johnson-or to the TRANSCRIPT office.
We should be sure that every residents
name is on the list.
