good Condition. Mr. Burnett, how
ever. fears heavy losses from the
present weather.
Cattle on the j. b. Graves ranch
north of Quanah, were reported in
good condition Saturday Much OF
the stock in that country is on feed
and 1t is believed the losses will be
consequently decreased
Ben Van Tuyl of Mitchell county
is in the city and reports that no
losses had occurred in that county
up until Saturday The present bliz-
zard. however, he fears has entirely
changed the situation.
Thomas f. Turner OF Amarillo
brings a discouraging report from
that place, declaring that continued
snow. sleet and ice had left the cat
tie in a poor condition TO withstand
the present weather.
No reports have been received from
the Scott-Harrold ranches nor those
of Sam Davidson.

the quarterly meeting of the Ellis
County Farmers Institute. and
promptly at o'clock in the after
nooon the institute was called to

President Jas. S. Davis.
There being no regular program
a motion was made to make the COM
pletion of the Ellis County Good
Roads Association the order of the
day.
County Judge r. l.. Hawkins ex
planned the object. aims and expec-
tations of the good roads movement
Said there was several ways of get
ting the money for this cause, and
in answer to question, said that in
the case the people decided to issue
bonds for this purpose that II would
not be hard to dispose of the bonds
at home at low rate OF interest He
said that 1t was question for the
people 10 decide as 10 how they
would raise the funds for this pur-
pose. and as to whether they
wanted TO go into this movement or
mot. He then gave his observations
as TO what other counties were do
Ing In this line and showed how Ellis
county would have to go into the
matter at once or have these counties
10 ahead OF her. The effect of the
good roads movement would proba-
bly, effect Ellis county towns located
on or near the line of these counties.
A motion was made and carried
that the president be empowered TO
perfect organization and fill vacan-
ctes as they may occur in the list of
Officers OF the Association.

favor of getting some method of bet
tering the road conditions In this
county. Delegates from Milford,
Italy. Forreston, Red Oak, Ennis.
Nash. Midlothian. Howard and other
points we're present. and all seemed
TO feel that now was the time to COM
nIenee this agitation and TO employ
missionaries and send them out,
and not stop until we have better
and the hope of continued improve
ment in our roads.
The action of the association at
the meeting held during the visit
OF the Katy Good Roads train was
endorsed
There being no further business
to come before the association the
meeting then adjourned TO give the
