times a dream seems to have lasted
several hours. when really 1t was not

A doctor was once sitting beside the
bed of a sick boy. He felt the boys

A ringing OF those bells for one sec

Capt. Ed Duppan,

In this issue of the Press will
be found the announcement of
Capt. Ed Duggan as candidate
for reelection TO the Office Of
county and district clerk, a posi-.
ton which he has in the past
filled with exceptional ability,
fairness and satisfaction to the
people Of Tom Green county.
This Office is one Of details, and
perhaps, more than any other
office IN the county, requires for
the proper discharge of its du.
ties an experienced man whose
familiarity with it's duties guar.
antees that they shall be we'll
performed. The different calls
upon the time of a county and
district clerk are infinite and it
is to the, interest of the public
that a mao prepared at all
points be in the place.
Personally speaking we have
never heard anything but praise
of Capt. Duggan as an official.
That he has a very strong fol.
lowing in the county that will
gladly vote for him again goes
without saying. Should he be
reelected his past record is a
guarantee that the duties of the
office will receive that attention
they deserve.

Flushing Railroad Work

From the Sweetwater Report.
er we gather the following facts |
in regard to the work now going
on on the Orient Railroad, north
from that town:
The railroad camp is about one
mile and a half north of Sweet.
water on the south edge of the
Musgrove section. Mr.. Atkin.
son has provided water by Dor.
ing a well and has arranged q
very extensive camp. He has
about fifty teams of horses and
mules of his own, quite a mum.
Der of grading machines, wheel
scrapers, dump carts, tents,
wagons and everything which
goes TO make up a large outfit.
He did the first grading last Sat.
urday on the Dulaney section.
Work is progressing splendidly.
That Mr.. Atkinson understands
how to do the grading is shown
by the work. There has never
been q better grade put up in
Texas than the grade which Mr..
Atkinson is making. If you have
DOUBTS on the question go out
and see the work.
The Reporter man paid the
scene of the construction work
on the Orient railroad a visit the
early part of this week. and
what he witnessed was sufficient
to put every doubling Thomas
in this section of the country out
of business.
Mr.. Atkinson has his grading
force at work something over 6

Dulaney section. The dirt wa:
