the day when nine members o

appointed hour. the auditorium
was well filled with the parents
and friends of the graduates. The
exercises throughout the evening
were very interesting and enioya.
BILE to the large audience.
Senator Gallery delivered q
short but eloquent address to the
audience and the graduates. He
complimented the faculty on their

"The Thrashers." rendered by the
following people: Misses Sidorie
Tarlton. Daisy Chadwick, Ethel
Smith, Lucy Habert. Bessie Chad
wick. Florence Fisher, Florence
Kramer. Fannie Todd and Messrs.
Vernon Thiel, Gussie Loustalot and
Conrad O'Niell. An especially APP

Owing to the enforced absence
of State Superintendent J. B.
Aswell, Prof. Ives was called upon
to take his place on the program.
He urged the people to keep their
children in school until they had
completed their high school
course; to watch the career of their
child at school. and gave many
excellent reasons why an educa-
ton should be necessary in this
day. Prof. Ives. in a few we'll

yates and presented them their

Court Reporters Earn From $l,5OO
To $4,000 a Year.

Don't read this unless you want
to be convinced OF the wonderful
superiority OF the Byrne Simpli-
fed Shorthand as taught by the
Tyler Commercial College, Of
Tyler, Texas, over all other sys-
tens.
There has been more official
court reporters appointed in Texas
during the past eighteen months
who learned the Byrne Simplifled
Shorthand in the Tyler CONNER
cial College, than there was Of
fetal writer's of all other systems
in the state combined up to this
time, as shown by the Directory
of offlcial court reporters of the
u. S. published by Andrew j..
Graham & Co. This proves con-
clusively the wonderful superior
ity of the Byrne Simplifled over
all other systems.
With such overwhelming adj
vantages In our system OF short
hand and method of teaching, it
is no wonder that the Tyler Com
mercial College enrolled more
than 1000 students from 20 states
during the past year. Its courses
of bookkeeping and telegraphy
are as much superior to other
system as is its shorthand. Write
for catalogue and see what hum
dreds of those who know say.

GENERAL

General Wheeler, the hero Of two
wars, has passed the picket line of
death and now rests with the great
majority. A graduate of West
Point, General Wheeler fought with
the South during the rebellion. His
first active service under cold glo-
ry,' did not come until the outbreak
of the war with Spain in 1898. AT
that time the Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor, General Wheeler was
In Congress as a representative from
Alabama. When war was assured
the fiery little Southerner resigned
his seat and enlisted. He was APP.
pointed Major General of Volunteers
and commanded the dismounted cav.
airy throughout the Santiago cam.
paign. 1t is safe to say that the ex.
ample of one of her foremost war,
riors fighting under the stars anc
stripes. after beginning his career
under the stars and bars, has had
great deal to do with making tn,
South forget past differences.

Continued from Page L.
brick' as the land they traded to
Marmon connected Carpenters Mills
with the main line Of the c., C. & L.
railroad and permitted the laying of
a private side track, making the
property almost invaluable to the
concern.
1t is necessary for the city to pipe
water from the river to the munich
pal plant and the inlet and the out
let of this line are now located on
the land owned by Marmon on the
west bank of the river. The line
runs across the property of the
Richmond Light, Heat and Power
Company.
If the city can secure the property
desired from the Richmond Light,
Heat and Power company, it will
have a frontage from the river to the
municipal plant 202 feet east and
west and over $50 feet -north and
south along the river. The outlet
and inlet Of the pipe line could then
be placed on the east side of the
river and the line would lay in city
property. What the property is
most desired for is a place to dump
cinders, ashes, etc. The city would
also have direct access to its proper
ty on the west side of the river
which could be used for the same
purpose.
The Richmond Light, Heat and
Power Company has only one outlet
to the river, a river frontage about
20 feet wide, which is between the
property of the Starr Piano Compa-
ny and the city's property. The
condemnation of the land the city has
its eyes on would mean the loss of
this small river frontage, to which
the company st%renuously objects.
