an aged African trudged the back
streets of city, pushing wheelbarrow
and shouting at the top of saw tooth

"Taters! Taters Want any taters?"
Buyers were long ways apart. and the
cry of Eaters correspondingly long
and loud.

doorway watching. When he set the
barrow down in front of her that he
might turn all his power onto his lung
exercise, she exclaimed:
stop dat racket, yo fool niger.
Yo sturbin de 'hol' 'munity."
The old man looked her over as he
wiped his bald pate with tattered
bandanna and replaced remnant of a
straw hat and asked, quietly;
''Iou heah me holler:'

and rcveled. "mighty lax a rose" in
the atmosphere of warm and friendly
admiration all about her: responding
with quick and charming sympathy to-
the eager demands of her audience.
She rendered the mad scene from Lu-
Ella Superhly. with exquisite pose and
action; but her voice shows at its best
in the simple songs of joy-for its own
essential quality and dominant charm
is that of sunshine and smiles, and not
in the swallow flights of song that dip
their wings in tears. Beautiful trlb-
utes of flowers were given Miss Howe
and she received enCures at every ap-

ANNOUNCEMENT.

IL III. dear readers, with no little
forsthouRht and consideration that
the following step has been taken;
that il. with this issue the publica-
ton Of the Daily Eagle viii cease.
After long and tedious seige, of
little more than year, the man
agement has seen fit-from busI-
ness standpoint as well as other
reasons-to sell the paper, subscrip-
tion books and good will to the
Daily Light.
The daily paper has many hard
and difficult task to overcome; none
more disAgreeable than securing suf-
ficiefit assistance in the mechanical
department The management has
nothing but kind feelings to offer to
the good people of Waxahachie and
adopt this means in expressing Our
sincere thanks for the splendid en-
couragement and patronage. This
much by way of explanation.
We bespeak for our successors
kind words, and wish for them
abundant support. We recommend
them to the public as deserving OF
continued success.
The Weekly Eagle will continue
it's regular visits, as heretofore, ana
abe Job Office maintained as usual.
Again thanking the citizens OF Wax
ahachie and vicinity forpast faVors,
the Daily Morning Eagle steps
/ down and out.-Baily Eagle, sun
day Oct. >.
In reference to the above an
nouncement the Light begs to say
that it's purchase of the Daily Eagle
was purely a business consldera-
ton. The publication was offered
us and believing it fair investment
the purchase was made. The sub
scription list of the Eagle has been
consolidated with that OF the Daily
Light and all those who have been
receiving the Eagle will now get the
Light instead. All accounts for
subscription due the Eagle prior to
Oct 1st will be payable to the Eagle
Printing Co., and all accounts for
advertising done by the Eagle up to
the date of its last issue is also pay
able to it. All contracts held by
the Daily Eagle are transferred to
the LIGHT and will be fulfilled by
| it.
In again becoming the only daily
paper in Waxahachie we want to
assure oursreaders that there Will
be no diminunition in our efforts to
fully cover the local field; to give
you all the news promptly and cor
rectly. With a larger list of sub
scribers, covering the same terrific
ry heretofore covered by the two
papers, we feel that the LIGHT Will
become more valuable TO the city
and capable of accomplishing greater
things for the people. AS in the past
it shall always endeavor TO do Its
best for the welfare and upbuildine
of Waxahachie. 1t is essentially
the peoples paper and it's greatest
ambition is to be of service to the
