A Good Shower.

The rain man has seen fit to re-
member San Angelo at last.
Monday, just at noon splendid
shower fell and things look bet
ter. The country in almost all
directions had previously been
visited by good showers but San
Angelo streets were cut up and
dusty. Water ran IN the streets
however on this occasion and the
dust evil is allayed. The newly
gravelled block on Beauregard,
while not dusty, is considerably
befitted The general health Of
the town Is improved by a rise in
North Concho and everybody is
feeling pretty good.

The FLEECY STAPLE.
Many Bales Are Sold On the Streets
of San Angelica New Buyer
In the Field,

Five years ago no one ever
dreamed that San Angelo would
ever get rs much cotton as is
coming here now. Every day
farmers come in with bales Of the
fleecy staple, A new buyer is in
the field too. Mr.. j. b. Taylor,
the well known grocer has formed
important connections and is
buying cotton. Mr.. Taylor finds
there are so many people who
come into his store with cotton to
sell that he deems it wise TO
make San Angelo as good u cot
ton market as possible. For that
reason he is buying cotton this
year.
Mr.. Taylor has in his store the
office of Mr., O. T. Tyler, who re-
Gently came here from Bolton.
Mr.. Tyler is a cotton man Of
many years experience and knows
the grading of cotton perfectly
well. In addition to being here
himself to look after the cotton
coming to San Angelo, Mr.. Tyler
will have a street buyer as we'll,
There will then be more compe-
tition in cotton buying this sea-
son with consequently more cot
ton growers seeking a market in
San Angelo.

money to buy the children's

headed woman.
"No, | never did," replied the
busy man. "And never saw a

her teeth and running into every
saloon she saw. Neither did !
