HITCHRACKS CAUSE
FAYETTE TROUBLE.
Council Removes Them From
Courthouse Square and
Anglers Farmers.

Fsyette, No., Sept. 23 The city
council Of Fsyette has aroused the
Ire Of the farmers Of the surrounding
country because Of the removal oil
public hitch racks from she court.
house square.
The old hitch racks have long been
an eye sore and nuisance, but the
town hesitsted TO break the long
established precedent.
The hitch racks were put up years
before the war. Opportunity to 70
move them came during the recent
street carnival held here. The streets
around the square we're roped Of for
the shows and when the shows disap.
peared the racks we're gone.
In the meantime the city council
had built several hitch racks on side
streets for the convenience OF the
farmers who come to town to trade,
and also provided public watering
troughs.
The farmers have held indignation
meetings, passing resolutions con.
demning the action OF the council,
and threatening the merchants with
a boycott unless the racks we're i'm
mediately put back in the old places.
EXTRA COURT SESSION.
The county court was called In ex-
ira session In order to cause the ar
rest OF the council and to force the
council to action. The city attorney
informed the court that that body
had no jurisdiction in the matter
whatever. This seems to have set
tied the question 30 far as forcing
the Issue Is concerned. The city
council and the commercial club have
leased two large lots and will build
feed sheds to accommodate the visit
Ing farmers.
Within the last year an excellent
system OF waterworks has been In
stalled, miles Of granitoid walks have
been built, new additions opened and
many handsome new homes built.
The population has almost doubled
within the last five years and the
value Of real estate trebled.
The hitch ricks, which were insight
ly and unsanitary, were not In keep.

county-seat towns, Mexico and Ful.

after q few months, when the farmers
had become accustomed to the
change, they appreciated the efforts
which had been made for their con-
venience.
