handed him the following missive,
ffrom a lady" he said:
"To the Marshal of Waco-Let
This man have the too boys Won
nave calaboosed and want YOU TO

The request was granted and the

It Suited Him Exactly.

There is an old story Of a young
fellow who when going to visit a
number of young ladies' rode a horse
that had a sudden way Of stopping.
The young man was riding gaily up
on gallop, and when in front of
the house the horse stopped very
suddenly, the young man turning a
som ers ,ult and lighting on his feet
over the fence in the yard, where he
calmly lifted his hat and babe the
young ladies, who were sitting on the
porch, good evening, as though that
was the way he was in the habit of
dismounting. OF course the girls
ad nired his nerve and GOODNESS.
A similar scene occurred day or
two ago in this city, when young
mans horse spilled him off in the
street in front Of the j. Ha1sel
Wood Clothing company's store
He coolly arose from the ground,
and, without stopping to scrape the
mud off his clothes, went in and
Purchased full new suit, saying he
mad been intending to do 50 for
some time, and that his horse must
have known he needed the clothes
and deposited him where it did as
sort Of hint.

To the People of Waco:

To the People of Waco: We

a number of citiz ms of Waco who

view Of raising this amount required |
the board Of directors have in
structed that committee be ap
pointed under the general direction
of the soliciting committee already
appointed to canvass this town by
streets. We trust when this com.
mittee waits onD you if you are al
ready subscriber, or if yon are not
a subscriber, that you Will do the
very best you possibly can 1t is
expected thai Waco will do her
level best. Give every dollar that
you can afford, which will help
Waco and the unemployed and in
crease the value of your property,
which will help make Waco the
plucky wonder of the South, and
put her in the front of the rapidly
gro wing tide of prosperity About
$40, 600 has already been subscribed,
and help us by your determination
in this matter to build the grandest
palace that has ever been seen, and
lift Waco to the highest point of
prosperity of any city in the South.
