This announcement will be grati-
flying news to the citizens of Waxa-
hachie who have labored so earnest
ly and zealously to secure this road
The local railway committee
was composed of about twenty
five Of the representative citizens
of the town and they have not
only given literally of their means
but have devoted many days of hard
work in an effort to raise the bonus
| required to bring the road to Waxa-
hachie. They had confidence enough
| in the enterprise to believe their
time would not be wasted. and that
untold benefits would accrue to the
town by reason of securing the road. |
According to the terms of the con- |
tract the right OF way must be pro- |
vided within four months, and 1t is !
expected that the work of construc- |
ton VIII begin within two months.
The committee will now proceed |
TO secure the right of way and will
appreciate the hearty cooperation of |
every citizen of the town in this vol
untary work which means so much
10 the interest of the city and county.
AS is well known this road is a
part OF the Yoakum system. which
includes the Colorado Southern, Fort
Worth and Denver, Rock Island.
Frisco and other shorter lines. The
Trinity and Brazos Valley win be
the connecting link between Hous-
ton and Galveston and the North
west. According to present plans
of the management Frisco, Fort
Worth and Denver and probably
Rock Island trains will be operated
over this road.

Fred c. Clarke, manager of the
Pittsburg club of the National League

THIS IS MY list BIRTHDAY.
Lyman Abbott.

DR.. Lyman Abbott, the famous cler-
gyman and author, was born in RoX-
bury, Mass, December IS, 1885. He
graduated from the College of the City
of New York in 1853 and shortly after
entered upon the practice of law in
Boston. But the pulpit possessed
greater attraction for him than the
bar and after engaging in law prac.
tice for a few years he gave up that
profession for the ministry. In 1860
he was ordained Congregational
minister. His first charge was at
Terre Haute, Ind, where he remained
five years, leaving Indiana City to be-
come pastor of the New England
church in New York city. In 1869 he
resigned his pastorate to devote him
self to literature. For some years he
was one of the editors of Harper's
Magazine and was also editor of the
Christian Union with Henry Ward
Beecher. whom he succeeded as pas
tor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, in
1883. During the past six years Mr..
Abbott has devoted himself almost en-
tirely to literary work. He is re-
nowned as a scholar and critic as we'll,
and Is undoubtedly the most noted
theologian of the present day.
