Fatally Shot.

Holden Garland entered the house
OF Will Atwood on Rock creek, N. c.,
Wednesday, and told Atwood that he
had come for blood and woald not
leave until il flowed. Atwood tried
to beg off, but Garland was spelling
for blood and nothing but a deadly
row would do. Atwood drew his re-
volver and began firing at Garland.
The first three shots took effect in his
right arm and disabled him so he
could not draw his pistol and he
started to run, when Atwood shot him
in the back. This last shot is thought
to be fatal The tragedy is the result
of an old feud.

old one and the first Of its kind in the
United States. It is now full Of pu-

tabernacle was filled long before the
hour for the beginning ofthe services,
DR.. John Boring preached upon the
character Of Daniel. His sermon was
one Of grand heights and depths, and
the sledge hammer truths took hold
on everybody. Strong men, old and
young, who could not get under the
canvas, wep', and scores crowded
through the multitude and clasped
the preacher by tho hand, saying they
intended to live better livea.
A large rumber weie converted and
made opoa profession at tins service
AT 80 o'ciaek Rev. s w. Small

three great evils, and the concluding
scenes beggsr description. One hun

/ Atnight>the crowd was immense
Nearly thousand men and women
who could not be seated, stood on TIN
outside and listened to DR.. Boring.

The Dsy.Globe publishes the fol
lowing from the Mayors message:
During the past fiscal year the

bonds .............. S42, 900.
First series of street improvement
bonds ...............$ 5000.

No how were those Waco aud
Northwestern bonds retired?
just like you owed the FIRST M

s42 600 from the Waco State Bank
to pay it. VIII the mayor or the
Day Globe tell us how much "re
firing there is when you give $42,-
900 in bonds to pay $40, 900 in
bonds? In the case above a note
or debt is retired" from one bank
to pay another bank
With all our big taxes and big
debt, and with no Improvement in
the past year, we have actually de.
creased our big debt SIS, 900.
If this is not the fact. let the peo-
pie know the plain fact. This is
our town; we want to know how
this thing is done. We, the PEG
pie, want to know.
Q. The mayors recommendation
to sprinkle the streets is good and
timely.
3. The recommendation to isrue
sewerage bonds is highly gratifying.
We are thankful for this sugges-
ton. We cannot have Il c.eaD,
healthy town without perfect
sewerage system.
4. The mayors reference to the
schools and the school superinten.
dent at this time and in the face Of
the vote Of the last election, April
4th, was certainly i'll timed, out Of
taste and inappropriate. The peo-
pie who send to the free schools are
not fools, and have a very correct
idea Of their deficiency or inc tiio-
