COUNCIL ORDERS
WORK SUSPENDED
Curbing Of Lee Street is Stopped For
Present.
CITIZENS WANT IT COMPLETED,
Curling Has Been Bought and Paid
For And Long Promised Work
Should Not Be Delayed fit Can Be
Finished.

After all. 1t would appear that Lee
street is not to be graded and curbed.
From the official proceedings of
council, published elsewhere, it will
be seen that at the meeting Monday
night resolution was adopted sus-
pending such work for the balance of
the year upon the completion of Col
lege street, which is being brought to
a grade and curbed.
This will be great disappointment
to the many residents of that street,
who have worked so long and earnest
ly to the end of having this work done.
The matter of having Lee street i'm
proved has been before council for
nearly a year, and after so long q time
the consent of all the property owners
was secured and orders were given to
proceed with the work. Lee street
residents reioiced that their efforts
were successful.
But now comes an order which de-
lays the work indefinitely,
1t was proposed to grade Lee from
College street to the artesian well, a
distance of more than half a mile.
Lee is one of our principal residence
streets, and certainly that portion of it
nearest the business center should be
improved and without any further
delay.
Few back streets or alleys present q
more unsightly appearance just now.
It is understood that all the curbing
required for the improvement of Lee
street has been bought and paid for.
Certain it is that some of it is already
upon the ground.
It Is true that the city is greatly
pressed for money, but as the curblng
has been bought 1t might as well be
put down and the street otherwise i'm
proved. Probably united effort upon
the part OF all the residents of Lee
street might induce council to finish it
Let the property owners of Ice
street take the matter up and prevail
upon council to proceed with the curb
ing, 1t certainly is very much needed

AMERICUs LADY WAS DROWNED
Among Those Swept Away By Gal
weston Flood.

The full extent of the fearful Calves
ton food will never be known, but
every day more bodies are found in
the debris and thus is the list of dead
increased. Among those recently dis
covered in clearing the streets was the
body of child of Mrs. f. j. Rouda-
deux. of that city. Mrs. Roudadeux
was reared in Americas, and as Miss
Bertha Johnson is we'll remembered
by many here. She, with two of her
little children, were drowned, but only
the body of one of the little ones was
ever found, and probably those of the
mother and other child were carried
out to sea. 1t is said that ships can
now anchor in deep water upon the
spot where the Roudadeux home for
merly stood.

No Right to Ugliness.

The woman who is lovely in face
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would he attractive
must keep her health. If she is weak,
sickly and all run down she will be ner-
vous and irritable. If she has constipa-
ton or kidney trouble, her impure
blood will cause pimples, blotches, skin
eruptions and a wrefched complexion.
Electric Bitters is the best medicine in
the world to regulate stomach, liver and
kidneys and to purify the blood. 1t
gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth,
velvety skin, rich complexion. 1t will
make good-looking, charming woman
of a run down invalid. Only so cents at

While there was an advance OF only
a few points in contract cotton yester-
day the market was IN better shape
than on Monday, with better de-
mand as well Good cotton readily
