TIE Texas Grand Trunk and It's Course
From Lampasas to Marble Falls
Special Telegram to the statesman
BURNETT February 14.-H' Wilson, OF
New York, president of the recently
chartered Texas Grand Trunk railroad, is
here and will examine the field through
which the road is projected, namely
Lam pasas, Burnet, Marble Falls and points
southwest.
The commissioners court has fixed the
levy of taxes for this years as follows:
General fund, 20 cents on the 800 valua-
ton; Jail and sinking fund, 612 cents;
road and bridge fund, cents. This Is
decrease of l cent from last year on jail
and sinking fund and an increase on the
road and bridge fund of 81 cents. The
need of improvement in the public roads
is fully realized, and but for the strong
feeling against increased taxation IN
Texas, the levy would have been more, fer
much more than this tax will produce is
really needed.
A coffin went out to-day for Mrs. Hibler,
wife of Felix Hibler, well known citizen
of this county. Cause of death, typhoid

County court will convene next Monday

demeanor cases than usual and good list

Perforated saws.

Perforated blades for band and circu
lar saws are just now attracting attention
in Germany, and are apparently giving
general satisfaction. Blades of this
character are not entire novelties, but
nave been known in modified forms for
some years. says The American Machin-
ist. Aoa general thing. however, their
use has been much decried. Still they
appear to nave some advantages worth
considering. and many claims of superb
nrity are made Tor them. Among them
is That of reduced blade friction, due to
reduced area of rubbing surface; less
tendency to heat, because of the circula-
ton Of air through the holes, and econo-
my in power. sThe holes further prevent
the dangerous extension Of cracks in saw
blades, and in general make it com
garatively easy matter to keep the saws

satisfaction TO all who have given the

Der of employ ments now thrown open
to women have been very much IN

who would otherwise fall into helpless
poverty.
Well may they call down blessings
from Heaven upon the men who. " bile

have thrown about them all those influ

their self respect and increase their re-
