ana night, tomorrow, at the Pres byte
rian church, corner Eighth and Aus
tin streets. DIR. Markham is one

found learning, mastery elocution
and brilliant rhetorical powers mapy
ofthe people of Waco have vivid rec
objection, as he lectured here some

The Waco Installment Company
can satisfy any one who needs furni-
ture. They will either rent furniture
or sell 1t on installments SO low that
any one can pay for 1t. They have
fine large stock of all sorts of furni-
ture and they sell very cheap. Don't
purchase elsewhere until you have
given them call. They move and
pack furniture cheaply. Prather

A good water works system is of in
estimable value just now. But for a
good supply of water, the trees,
shrubs, gardens and lawns which
now make such an ornament to city
homes would be sorry sight just
now but for the hydrants and the
hose. After nightfall the sprinkler
is going all over the city and front
yards look as fresh as If there was no
snch thing as dry weather.
Chas. Rast's grocery corner Sixth

the best Of order.
The churches will all be open to-
morrow and in them, eloquent speak
ers will discourse on the beauties of
good life and the destiny of men after
death. In the mad struggle for
money or the wild race after pleasure,
there is no man but may profitably
pause once in a while and ask him
self if this life is all, and the churches
afford fine place for little salutary
reflection of that kind.
A neat three room house TO rent.
Price s. per months. Plenty of
money to loan on furniture and every
thing Of value. John d. Mayfield,
30S Austin street.
A short time ago team of horses
went into the ditch on Thirteenth
and Franklin street, from the narrow
crossing. Since then the authorities
have widened the bridge over the
ditch and put hand railing 30 that if
foot passengers or teams now plunge
