GOOD THING FOR TOWN
4 Buyer for Merchants Would bt
Benefit to the City.

Another letter has been received
at this office from Mr.. ]. p. Ingram
of Fort Worth relative to the matter
of the merchants employing cottor
buyer. The letter is quoted in par'
as follows
Several merchants in this city
will employ buyers themselves next
season. Your city being located in
one of the best cotton districts in the
state, the merchants should readily
see where they would be benefited
The business men of WaXahachie
could not do better thing than to
put buyer out to represent them and
to see that the farmer gets the mark
ct value for his cotton When
town or city desires more enterprise,
the proper method is to go ont af-
ter them and wage campaign that
knows no ending until the desired
results have been achieved. Now.
If the merchants viii bear you out
In this ii will be the best undertaking
you could inaugurate, especially II
YOU get the right man.

HANDLING COAL.
Rock Island Crews Will Come Into
Denison and sherman.

| Plans have been made for a new
! arrangement for handling coal from
| Haileyville, T. T.. to Denison by thre'
! Rock Island crews and two Frisco
crews. The Rock Island crews will
run through over the Frisco tracks,
and after delivering coal to either
Denison or Sherman, will turn
around. The Frisco crews will do
the same way
The new arrangement has been
made in order to avoid delay at Ran
dolph, I. T AT this time OF the year
especially in view of the possible coal
miners strike, ii is imperative that
coal be delivered as fast as possible
All of the roads are trying to get a
surplus on hand. AS the deliveries
could not be made fast enough under
the old system. the arrangement with
the Rock Island was made. Denison
