Alderman Hammond SAID last

Alderman Hammond SAID last
night that our city dads would de-
vote hours to the consideration of a
proposition of $3.50 and let propo-
sitions of important interest to the
city alone. lie also added that he
would not serve any longer than
this term asa councilman. We do
not blame him. If we were IN his
place we would resign.
The only place especially prepared
for Ladies to bathe Is at the Com
mercial barber shop on G street.
There you will find everything you
desire forcomfort, privacy and con
venience. Mr.. Ward has kindly
reserved each Thursday and Friday
afternoons for Ladies and they
should take advantage of this act of
kindness. Cleanliness and quietude
are the marked characteristics of
this place and many ladies are find
ing pleasure and comfort there.
Prof. w. +. Looney, Democrat
ic nominee for superintendent of
schools is attending the normal and
we hear him spoken of very highly
by great many of the teachers
present. 1t is conceded that no
one could have been nominated that
will do more for the upbuilding of
our schools that the Democratic
nominee. So if you have the in
terest of our county at heart see
that his name is on your ballot in
November.
When the Democrat convention
Nominated J. K. Harston for Sheriff
of Caddo county, they nominated a
gentleman who possesses every
qualification necessary to fill that
important Office. He is Mason, a
Democrat, honest and true to every
thing that Is for the upholding of
law and order, His election is as
sured, and you will never have cause
to regret that you voted for him.
He knows every quarter eection of
land in the new country, having
lived here for the past fifteen or
twenty years and when he goes after
an evil doer he will capture his man
and land him behiud the bars.
Vote and work for Jack Harston
for sheriff.

on their way to the Republican con-

pinned to the label of his coat
badge of ribbon "stamped in bold
letters across it. Those who went
as on lockers also had on some kind
of an emblem to show they were
from Kiowa. Along the sides of
their car was strung a streamer tell

HOW CANDIDATES STAND.

The past week in The REPORTERS
voting contest shows remarkable
gain on the part of Miss Mae Marvin
who now has lead of several thousand

the judges who will make the final
count, and the candidates can deposit

there were two or three head there but
the owners were asking exorbitant prices
and he could not buy them.

BIr, G. Dupree Smith. who has been
stationed for the past two years as as.
sayist for large mining company in the
mountains near La Paz, Bolivia, arrived
in Leon Saturday morning for visit
with his wife and children who have
spent the past year in this city at the
home of her mother, Mrs. ]. L. Young,
SO as to give her children the advan-
tages Of American schools. Mr.. Smith
started from Bolivia Sept. 9TH, and met
with numerous delays, the vessel being
out al days. While touching at small
port in Guatemala about rs miles from
the volcano which has recently been &C.
tive, the air became filled with the ashes
from the volcano, and it became blacker
than midnight although. it was in the
middle of the day. The captain finally
put to sea, and the vessel ran for $50
miles before they escaped from falling
ashes, it being estimated that more than
35 tons of ashes were showed from the
deck of the vessel into the sea. Mr..
Smith thinks there certainly must have
been great loss of life, and the authori.
ties Of Guatemala are keeping the news
from the world as much as possible.
