HOW THE HUSSARS WON.

the Liberty Boys.

Story of Their Close Contest With
the Liberty Boys.
When Bugler Joe Wilmington of the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry sounded the
call, commence firing" the four car
bine teams comprising the entries in
the novice carbine match, took their
posts, and the initial match of the in
terstate shoot was on. Targets l, 2,
g and A were occupied, respectively, by
the Enffigham Hussars. the Georgia
Hussars, the Liberty Independent
Troop. first team, and the Liberty In
dependent Troop, second team. The
various members of these teams had
previously participated in a light prac-
tice, and to those who watched the
practice it was evident that the match
was to be closely contested. The team
from the Georgia Hussars was COM
posed almost entirely of mere boys,
contrasting strongly with the older
men composing the other teams. An
other fact which was commented upon
was that, with the exception of the
first team of the Liberty Independent
Troop, the entries were all from among
the privates
The troopers shot in pairs, two men
from each team alternating until the
score at a particular range was COM
pleted, the fifth man on each team
shooting singly. When the results had
been ascertained on the first, the 200
yard range, it was evident that the vic
tory was anybody's. These scores were
all grouped closely in the eighties, the
Liberty Independents, first and second
teams, leading, with scores of Sc and
80: the Georgia Hussars, 50, and the
bingham Hussars. so.
At the 30O-Yard Range.
On the 3OO-yard range the Liberty
independents first team increased its
lead over the Savannah team two
points, its total score there being SO
points. The second team of the Lib
erty novices made 10. and We're now
leading the Georgia Hussars by a sin
gle point. The Effingham contingent
was given a serious jolt by a score of
20, but went to the 5OO-yard range de-
termined to make amends.
A perusal of the official score, before
the shooting on the last range was
commenced, disclosed the fact that
unless some phenomenal work was
done by the Savannah team il was
doomed to fill second or third place.
This gloomy outlook for his team did
not, however disturb Private Nathan
Coleman. When the smoke had clear
ed away on his last shot he found that
he had AZ points to his credit
He had beaten his man on the lead
ing team by eleven points, and now
the event took on an exciting aspect
The Liberty boys We're firing we'll
Meanwhile the Effingham team had
fallen miserably, and when one of its
men wound up the small score of Z
points, the members freely acklowl-
edged that they had lost out.
The fight had now become a triangu-
lar one. with a decided advantage in
no ones favor The second team OF
the Liberty Independent troop had
been taking things slowly. but surely

HELD i JOINT MEETING
Kaufman and Ellis County Com.
missioners Confer In Regard
To Building a Bridge.

The commissioners Of Kaufman
county met those OF Ellis county
Wednesday at Slate Rock crossing
on Trinity, in a joint meeting 10 dis
cuss the plans of building a bridge
across the Trinity River at Slate
Rock crossing, and the prorata part
of each county i'm constructing the
bridge Fhe majority of Kaufman
county commissioners were in favor
of building the bridge but postponed
the matter until Aug. 18th that they
would have time to discuss it with
their constituents.
J. NJ. Rutledge, commissioner
from this district, was opposed to
the building of the bridge at that
point because the benefit derived
therefrom would be more to the adj
vantage of those living in Ellis
county than to those living in kauf-
man, while the expenditure would
be heavier on Kaufman county, as
there is a very swampy bottom ON
this side of the river. 1t is estimat-
ed that the cost Of constructing the
road alone would be as much as the
cost of the bridge Terrell Call.

The Street Sweeper's Dream

You can see me with my mule and
cart upon the street each day,
Cleaning up watermelon rinds FOR
which | get good pay,
! like to clean and sweep the streets
and dodge among the teams
But at night when | get into bed !
have such awful drems
I see melon rinds on the ceiling and
melon rinds on the floor;
Melon rinds on the table and melon
rinds on the door;
Melon rinds I'm the sugar bowl !;
melon rinds i'm the chair;
Melon rinds in my whiskers; melon
rinds everywhere.
The best friend of the cleaner rs
the little English sparrow,
They can eat more melon rinds In
one day than would I'LL wheel
barrow,
But in spite of all the sparrows eat
and ! clean with my broom,
In my dreams there are loads Of
melon rinds piled all around the
room,
There's melon rinds In the water
pail and melon rinds in the sink (;
Melon rinds in every bite 1 eat and
every drop drink;
Melon rinds iB the pillowshams and
melon rinds in the bed,
And sometimes / think there's
nothing but melon rinds ia my
head.
NV wife says it's tAe nightmare
that makes me act so bad,
For tear up all the bedclothes and
scream and yell like mad;
This morning about half past three
nearly lost my bead,
| dreamed the whole of Johnson
county was Milling melon rinds
about nay bed.
| saw melon rinds Ola the door mat
and melon rtnds ia the ball
Melon rinds In the Kitchen stove
and melon Finds on the wall,
Melon rinds in my pumkIn pie and
on the window pane;
The doctor told my wife had melon
rinds on the BRAN.
They say the crop il short this year
and their homes they will not rob,
And | suppose when they quit com
ing here / will lose my job,
But all things happen for the best
and perhaps twill save my life,
For / am crazy now from water
melon rinds and II has nearly
killed my wife.

The Ennis Journal bewails WaNa'
hachie's good fortune: 1t says:
Ennis is missing many good
things that our sister city, NaXa'
baehie, is getting. For instance, we
could have secured the Chautauqia
,ectures by some effort and good
management, bat IL seems that our
citizens either have no desire 10 get
these enterprises, or else they are
gone before we begin to act. What
we need mostly are leaders some
one TO take hold and SHOW our
people the benefits 10 be derived by
securing these things, The 1hau.
tauaua will not only be Of financial
benefit, but will ne the means ~
Waxahachie's being advertised all
over this and other states. There
are hundreds of people in attendane,
and of course this means long green
bills TO those Waxahachiaus. Ne
do sincerely hope our people Will
soon wake up 10 the realization OF
these facts and offer some induce
ments to enterprises 10 come Ennis

The Journal man should not be-
come discouraged. Statements OF
the above character are calculated
to have a depressing effect on ones
town. And, too, If Ennis citizens
are in need of leader, what's the
matter with the Journal man falling
into line with head and tail up and
calling, 'Come on boys?o
