quarries of the Lone Mountain, about

with the view of opening the quarrries
for commercial export. Ell Paso is at

meet the requirements. as Mr. Smith
thinks there is no question but that it
will. he desires to begin moving it to
Ell Paso at once. The quarries are

There is no building stone west of

The visit of an expert here now
clearly shows the people of White

TENNESSEE SOCIETY
Held An Interesting Session La 4
NiQhf.

An enthusiastic meeting of the Ten
nessee society was held last night at
the Office of A. p. Coles.
The meeting was called by the chair
for the purpose of determining wheth-
er Jackson day should be observed by
the society in the usual manner.
1t was unanimously agreed that the
proper way to celebrate Jackson day
would be to give a banquet similar to
the one last year, which proved to be
one of the most successful social func-
lions ever held in the southwest
Some of lie younger members of the
society preferred a ball to banquet
but after the situation had been fully
discussed it was decided that a ban
quet would come nearer suiting every
body than a ball and if the young fell
lows wante, to dance, why they could
do so after the tables had been re-
moved from the banquet hall
After it had been settled that a ban
quet was the thing, a committee was
appointed to raise the funds to defray
the expense. The committee consists
of W. H. Webb, w. R. McIver, DR..
BloomsteIn and Frank Coles.
They are to begin their labors imme-
diately and report at the meeting to
be held next Wednesday night at z
o'clock.

ten years in Tennessee would hereafter
be necessary for eligibility to member
ship In the society.
After a long discussion it was
agreed that Jackson day banquet was
preferable to a ball, and the commit
tee as given above was appointed.
President Coles called the attention
of those present to large picture of
Andrew Jackson which mad been pre-
scented to the society by M. B, Morton,
of the Nashville Banner. A vote of
thanks was rendered Mr.. Morton for
his gift and to the president for a

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ

mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious

seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart Failure They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation Of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nerves and organic

Don't gamble.
BE circumspect in your amuse-

In connection with amusements,
have never been able to understand
why the young men of today deem
the theatre an absolute essential in
seeking diversion. An evening with
a good book is, or ought to be, more
satisfying TO the young man of
brains than an evening in a hall
where a lot of make-believe charac-
tiers are strutting up and down the
stage, like children at a masquerade.
Wehn the human race reaches its
highest mental development there
will probabaly be no theatres.

BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

Last Tuesday, IN the House OF
Representatives, when the ques-
ton of biennial sessions arose,
Representative c. W. Wolfe, of
this county, spoke vigorously IN
favor of the measure. Reference
to his argument was made by the
News and Courier in discussing
the subject editorially the next
day as follows:
The joint resolution looking to
the substitution of biennial for all
nual sessions of The Legislature pass
ed the House on tuesday by a vote
of So yeas to % nays, or nearly four
to one, and is now ID the hands Of
the Senate. If it shall pass that
body the question which it presents
will be submitted to the people next
winter and their decision IS well as
sured before hand. One of the
members of the House, stated during
the debate on Tuesday that "ninc-
tenths Of his constituents favored
biennial sessions, and we think that
that is moderate estimate Of the pro-
portion of votes which it will receive
IN all the counties. "There is pub
lie demand fo- the measure" as the
same member further said, and the
assertion will be amply sustained by
the votes of the people as it was sus-
tanned by the votes of their repre-
sentatives in the House. 1t is to be
hoped, at any rate, that the Senate
will allow them to speak for them
selves on the subject. rs is their right,
certainly, the advocates of the pro-
posed reform are not afraid to sub
uit it to them, and its opponents
should not be, if they claim to rep
resent public sentiment by their op-
position.
