THE CITY LIMITS EXTENDED
The Council Annexes Bullard
Heights TO the City.

The meeting of the city council
last night was perhaps the most in
teresting that has been held for
some time.
After the routine business had
been disposed of a petition signed

Bullard Heights asking for admis-
sion into the city was submitted.
The petition was read and after a
short discussion was adopted by
unanimous vote. BY this act of the
council the population OF the city Is
increased by about four hundred
souls. Practically every residence
on the btu Is embraced in the new
territory and some valuable proper
ty IL included. This is a very i'm
portant step on the part Of the pro-
perty holders Of that Populous su-
burb and in the course of a short
time they will be enjoying all the
adv antages to be derived under the
city government.
A franchise was asked for 10
establish, maintain and operate
gas plant In the city for fuel and Ill
Illuminating purposes. The franchise
provides for the city to buy the
the plant Mt the expiration of fifteen
years, the value TO be based on the
original cost of the property and it's
eraning capacity. Work is to be
commenced on the new plant by
June / and 1t is to be ready for
operation by Nov. l. The request
was referred to the ordinance com
mlttee with instructions to report
next Tuesday night.
Charley Teutsch, T. A. Ferris and
Sam Thornhill were appointed as an
auditing committee to check up the
books of the retiring officials.
The council will meet In called

TRINITY UNIVERSITY NOTES
The Literary Societies Hold q
Public Meeting.

Tehuacana, April 1.-The Malon-
ian and Sappho-Adelphian Literary
Societies held public meeting on
last Friday afternoon which was
well attended. Those present spoke
In highest terms of the entertain-
ment.
What do the students who visited
Waxahachie on the 21st. think of
the city, the University Heights, of
the building, in fact, of their future
home? The writer has not heard
one adverse criticism. They came
back full of praise for the new loca-
tion and it means a great deal for
the students of an institution to be
perfectly satisfied and proud of their
institution in every respect. The
enthusiastic student when he re-
turns to his home can do more to in
crease the patronage of a school,
than any travelling agent.
The local oratorical contest oc-
Cured the first of last week. There
were only two contestants this year
Mr.. Rardin Mollard, whose subject
was, Robert E. Lee, the Ideal of
the ex-Confederate, +" and Mr.. Glen
l.. Sneed of Mckinney, whose sub

Neglected by the Park Asso-
citation this Spring.

A meeting of the subscribers to
the Chautauqua Park Association
will likely be called for an early
date next week to perfect organiza-
tion and prepare for the coming ses-

cure 1t will be necessary, that the
Chautauqua may reach its highest
good, that the organization Of this
association be perfected at once and
the proposed work of Improvement
begun.
Other organizations are looking
towards Waxahachie as "a suitable
place for yearly meeting. Among
them may be mentioned the Baptist
Young Peoples Union. This organ
ization meets this year at La Porte,
at which time some action will be
taken looking to securing a perma-
nent location where yearly eneamp-
ment can be held. The Baptist
young people are talking about
Waxahachie az suitable location.
They say that we have splendid
park with All auditorium, that Waxa
haehie is an accessible and central
location. This organization goes
on the pay plan, and If it can be in
duced 10 come to Waxahaehie it will
add greatly to our reputation as an
educational and religious center. If
it be true that the yearly encamp-
ment of the Union is now inclined
to seek permanent location it be-
hooves us TO try TO bring it here.
All these matters and others will
be discussed at the meeting that
Is To be held next week, and if you
are interested in the Chautauqua
movement you should attend.
Waxahachie cannot afford to let slip
anything that will add to her moral
and intellectual ady ancement.
