Two precincts in Davies, one in
Henderson, one in Union, two in
Hopkins, and eight in Christian coun-

that these precincts would increase
the vote to about 5,000-a splendid

there was but one candidate, that
the day was extremely hot and that

say that 1t is simply perfect in every
respect, both in cutting and telling
you how to make your garments in
the latest style and to those who are
not proiitably situated, l would adj
wise them to examine the National
Garment Cutter If no more. AS a
perfect filter 1t cannot be equalled. l
remain truly and sincerely yours,

After nineteen years experience in
dressmaking, and having examined
the different systems in use by the
best dressmakers OF the country, and
having done the work for the best
ladies in the country, l am prepared
to say, after testing the National
Garment Cutter, that it is far ahead
of any system now in use. The style
and fit is perfect. Every lady, where
circumstances will permit, should
learn TO use the system. 1t cannot be
too highly endorsed.

The School Annex

The Council met Tuesday after
noon, 10 consider the project put for
ward by the school board TO build an
annex to the public school building
The necessity for more room is quite
evident when il is remembered that
last years enrolment was GAO out of
school population of 922, with an
average attendance of nearly $50.
The Council heartily concurred in
the idea but did not endorse the an
mex. After considerable discussion
resolution was adopted to the effect
that the board had the right 10 use
the surplus funds TO build tho annex,
or to rent rooms, or to buy lot and
build temporary structure on it,
but that the Council does not favor
the annex. This resolution throws
the matter squarely into the hands of
the school board where it belongs.
A majority of the board want the
annex and it will probably be built.
If agreed upon 1t will be placed on
the north side of the main building.
A minority of the board wants to
purchase lot and place a frame
structure on it to tide over the pres
ent exigency, the lot to be used as a
permanent location for a handsome
building, which will of necessity be
put up in three or four years. This
idea seems to be the most popular
with the general public. The board
met yesterday afternoon to take final
action on the case aud we did not
learn the conclusion in time for pub

Mexican Central Railway was protested shrewd
fnancer to the homo of the Aztecs and secured
a concession from the Mexican Government authorizing
tho construction OF the road. A mere trie was
paid for this valuable franchise, but the original
stockholders were charged for 1t TO- the extent OF
about S1O.OOO.OO0. The president of the company.
Thomas Nickorson, did not relish the transaction,
and at once inserted clause in his viii, providing
for distribution to the stockholders of his share.
Mr. Nlckerson afterward decided to distribute this
properly while he lived, and has done so. Persons
interested have received a circular in these words:
| have allotted to you from my Mexican Central
trust the following securities: Inc STOCK ana the
whole bonds will be transferred to you, or your
order at my Office No. Exchange place, Boston.
You will notice that each of the first mortgage bonds
carries six overdue coupons which are worth at least
$40 each coupon.
