Boyce--The cotton in this section
of Ellis county is considered the
poorest crop for many years. The
yield Is at least 45 per cent less than
last year and owing to the continued
dry weather the plant has quit fruit

scarcely any by the boil weevils.
The short crop was caused by the

Traction Engine for Roads.

The county commissioners have
spent two days last week near Italy
testing some new road working ma
chinery. They contemplate selling
off nearly all of the county's teams
and substituting a traction engine
which pulls two grading machines.
This move is on account of the high
prices of mules and feed and the ex-
pense of maintaining two road
camps. Further tests will be made
this week.

in which the statement was made
that because of the recent enact

Ellis County.


Ferris-The cotton plant has stop
ped growing and fruiting. The boil
weevils have stopped their work al
most entirely. About Is per cent of
the crop is gathered. The average
yield is about one-third that of last
year.
| Ennis-Cotton is not fruiting to
any considerable extent. Boil weevils
are stNl working in some places, but
the hot weather has retarded their
work in some degree, SO there is nc
special complaint Probably 10 pc
cent of the crop has been picked .Th
yield per acre is believed to b.
about SO psr cent of last year.
Waxahachie-On account OF the
dry weather there has been steady
deterioration OF the cotton in Ellis
county during the past twenty days.
The plant is small and has about
ceased fruiting. The bolls are small
er than usual and are beginning to
open prematurely. Picking is now
well under way and the crop is be-
| ginning to move quite lively. Farm
ers are not showing an inclination
| to hold at current prices. II is estl-
mated that the crop of the county
will be about IS per cent of last
year.
Midlothian plant is not
fruitiug now. No boil veeyiis. stop
ped about August 20. Picking just
begun. About 20 per cent less than
last year.

CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Opening AtteatlRce Is Greatest ia the
History Of the City.

Vacation days are over and young
room began this morning The an
nual term of the city public schools
opened at O'Clock today with the
largest attendance in the history of
the city The increase in the first
days enrolment over last year was
about 200. This is considered a most
excellent showing and indicates that
the daily attendance during the term
will be unusually large. The scho-
year is 1897, and of this number
more than 900 children presented
themselves at the Park High school
building for registration today. The
opening attendance last year was
1856.
Owing to the seating facilities of
the auditorium being inadequate to
accommodate the large number of
children no formal exercises were
held. AS the children assembled at
the school building they were met
by Superintendent Acker who direc-
ted them to their respective rooms,
where teachers were in waiting to
receive them. After the registration
and classification of the pupils and
after book lists had been distributed
they were dismissed until tomorrow
morning, when the class room work
of the year will begin.
Several members of the board of
trustees and a large number of citl-
zens were present at the opening Of
the school.
After the classes were dismissed
for the day the children visited the
book stores in swarms, and these
places were kept busy during the
remainder of the day.

lyor nout as they are on Saturday.
The city people will find that if
they adopt the plan Of trading dur
ing the week and trading in the morn
ing as much as possible, they will
get much more satisfactory service.
Summer is coming on and the girls
standing behind counters for is
hours during the hot weather, as they
have been compelled to do on Satur-
days, is extremely injurious to their
health. In addition to the dong hours
they wait on about tesee times as
many customers as on any other day.
The government is making eight hour
a work day with all kinds of labor on
all public work. The salespeople
work ten to twelve hours every day
and fifteen on Saturday.
Don't you think they are entitled to
some consideration? IF every man
and woman in Chickasha will give
the above their earnest consideration
and do their buying during the week
and in the mornings as much as pos
bible, they can make conditions
great deal better, both for the stores
and themselves. Won't you help us?
