program will be rendered, and a
good time is in store for all who
are present.
/ Mexico, Mo-, will be the Mecca pi
the mind, 20 which a number of out
girls will pay tribute this coming
year. Monday week the Misses
Mabel and Minnie Talbot, Matel
Turner, Maggie Watson and Eva
Payne, will leave for the noted
Hardin college, to enjoy the many
advantages to be derived at this
institution of learning.
Our city officials are becoming ex-
tremely Indifferent to the hard
fought for stock law. The cattle
are permitted to perambulate at
will over the city, and oftimes their
frantic endeavors to enter cur flow
er gardens, to see which of Flora's
favorites shall furnish them the
midnight dainty refreshments, calls
the inmates from their slumbers.
Then it is that hard things are said
about such officials" and "you
turn my cow out if she gets in" sys-
TEN, until frail (H man reaches the
conclusion that city government is
the most stupendous fraud ever
perpetrated on a civilized communi-
ty. Change the order of things,
gentlemen, and see that the law is
enforced to the letter.
The city hall Thursday evening
was the rendezvous for all the Ter
pischoian art in compliment to the
invitation of the Fire Ladies'. The
young men had decided to make
this the opening of the fall and win
ter festivities; consequently had de-
vised every means for the perfec-
tion of general enjoyment of all
participants. A most attractive pro
gramme we're furnished the guests
and in no way did the several COM
mittees overlook the smallest detail
calculated to crown this ball as the
first and best of the approaching
season. Refreshments, both re-
freshing and delightful, were serv-
ed after which the may dance
claimed the guests as her devotees,
1t was a matter of impossibility to
secure the names of those present,
yet one and all pronounced this to
be a most enjoyable affair, and
many compliments were paid our
Fire Laddies. The incentive OF this
affair was that the fire company
might be more thoroughly equip
ped. 1t is pleasure to. the COM
munlty and a deserved compliment
to the promoters that handsome
sum was realized.
When an individual or incorpora-
tion bestows one favor upon us,
our unsatisfied natures clamor for
more good. Thus 1t is when we rea-
lie what Mr. Whitley has done for
our city during the late months,
Spring Lake, which a few weeks
since was an unappreciated amount
of land, has been converted into a
pleasure resort of most pleasing
magnitude. Underneath the pines,
swings and hammocks are placed,
which have been blessing to the
hundreds Of children that daily
gather there. While the grown
folks have not been forgotten IN
the planning of the amusements
night after night, the member OF
the "bike" admirers are seen spin
ming and sometimes scorching along
the track, With all this the city is
looking to Mr., Whitley to yet be-
stow great good, in the street
r. r. to the Natatorium 1t could
but be a paying investment. at the
same time fill a long felt want,
The accommodations to this resort
IS insufficient to meet the demands
of the people, and many are denied
the pleasure OF the Beach, merely
for the need of transportation. Let
the citizens unite with Mr., Whitley
and build a street car line-an cleo
trio one at that-to Kirby Beach,
not forgetting the College on the
Hill,
A number of the little friends of
