Another Account.

J p. Gilmore, who lives in the
western part of the county, was In
the city this morning and gave us
clipping from Scurry paper which
contained an account of the burn
ing to death of the two children of
the widow of his brother, Joe Gill
more. The accident occurred sew
eral days age, a report OF which has
already appeared in this paper. 1t
seems that Mrs. Gilmore had gone
TO the home a neighbor close by to
wash, leaving the children in the
house. Soon her house was discov-
cred in flames and before the chill
dren could be rescued they were
burned to a crisp.

III. II. Hicks, who lives west OF
waxahachie, was In town today and
said that in addition to an acre
planted in beets last year, which
yielded ten or fifteen tons, he had In
an acre of artichokes that are yield
ing immensely. He eaid that some
time ago he turned his hogs in on
them and they are fattening as fast
as they would were he feeding them
corn. He says he has no way OF
determining the yield, % the ground
seems to be fall OF them. Each year
hereafter, he says, he will plant
plenty of beets and artichokes, as
they are the best feed that can be
raised for hcgs and cattle.

Blu lid FACTORIES.

WHAT'S to hinder our people get
ting together and organizing man
ufacturers league? A~Ore or more
of small factories Icould be made to
pay handsomely in WaXahachIe-
among them a canning factory, a
broom factory, cigar factory, a
pickle factory, a creamery. Any
number of factories could be es-
tablished in Waxahachie in small
way and be dividend payers from
the start.
Take the cotton mill in this city
as an example; it has paid and paid
well. Doesn't it stand to reason
that a few other manufacturing
concerns would do equally as well?
The time has arrived for action.
We can no longer sit idly by and
wait for the other fellow to furnish
the long green to try the experiment.
There is money in factories in the
South, for we have the people here
to consume the product. Why, there
are enough people right here in
Waxahachie and Ellis County TO
consume the product of several
good sized factories,
Let us quit using Northern and
Eastern manufactured articles and
use the home manufactured product.
Remember that if it is manufact-
ured here, it is just as good as the
Northern made article.

SOME .IMPROVMEN


The Cottage Hotel is on wheels this
week being moved to lots down by the
corner of the fair ground Excavation
will begin at once for the fine opera
house to be erected on the old hotel
site.
Excavation has begun for the two
story brick to he built by Mr.. Monta-
que on his lot just east of the Heming-
er blacksmith shop.
Mr.. Strickland will pull out the old
Howell livery stable and build fifty
foot front business house two stories
high. Mr.. Reckel is talking of build
ing on his corner. 1t really begins to
look like the business portion of town
will extend east two or three blocks
this season.
We understand the paving is to be
extended at least another block east
when the spring opens up. All along
Main Street there will be building
this year. We understand the old
Sherman house corner will be built up
this summer. All over the city there
are new residences In various stages
of construction. AS soon as pile OF
rock is dumped on vacant lot there
are eight or ten people trying to rent
the house, so there is not much likli-
hood Of oyerdoiug the matter. Quite
a little town has sprung up away In
the south part Of the old Cross tract,
and new buildings are starting up
every day. Mr. DOnaldsoh has just
contracted for the erection of four in
that locality. The amount of build
ing this spring will only be limited by
the number of workmen that can be
secured.
The city now has over seven thous-
and inhabitants and nv this time next
year will have ten Thousand, ii houses
can be built to hold them. City prop
ertv remains remarkably cheap for
prospects that are before Us. The
great problem that now confronts US
is that of providing sufficient school
room to accommodate the greatly IN
creased school population that will he
to be taken care Of mex year. The
three vacant rooms the west SIDE
will, doubtless,a all be needed for child
rem on that side Of the track.
There will be enough children in
the Fourth ward that were not there
when the new building for that ward
was planned to ill at least four more
rooms. In a little conversation with
a leading member of the board recent
" he simply said, "we are swamped
aud l see no way out but to build" 1t
was thought last summer that we
we're building for the future and
would not have to build any more ior
several years to come.
Probably not till we we're ready for
"A high school. but the rapid and uneX
pected increase in population especial
Iy in the Fourth ward, makes more
rooms an imperative necessity and we
believe the board should take steps at
once to submit bond proposition fol
four room addition to the new build
lug in the Fourth ward and try and
have it ready by opening time in the
fall We see no other way OUT
