CHRISTMAS BUSINESS GOOD.
 In the'rush of Tuesdays Christmas trade, w. C. Barton paused long enough for a pleasant word with the editor. Asked as to the Christmas bus mess, Mir Barton said: "Fine! We have had almost more than we could attend to-" The crowded store bore silent testimony to the truth of his statement.
 The c. H. Booth & Bentley Co. re- port splendid Christmas business.
 At M. W. Hills, the genial jewell er's. the Christmas trade has been very good. MT Hill and his right hand man, Mr Pulver. make strong team hitched up to the fine stock he carries.

A SURE THING.
IBterurban Line n Certainty-POw
err House at ReagOr Springs.

err House at Reagor Springs.
Since the recent announcement of
a proposed interurban railroad from
Palestine by way of Corsicana, En-
mis- and Waxahachie to Dallas, the
facts have developed to indicate that
this line may be considered almost
or quite certainty.
A well known citizen of Ennis
said yesterday that since the mat
ter had gotten into the papers, he
feels at liberty to say that parties
were here some time ago and that
he rode with them over the line
from Waxahachie to Ennis and they
talked about the road as real fact
These parties said they didn't
want, the newspapers to know about
it yet hence he has kept silent. The
plans as this citizen learned from
the promoters is to build the road
from Dallas to Waxahachie, Ennis,
Corsicana and Palestine and work is
to begin at once after January LIST,
and assurance is given that cars
will be running between Ennis and
vember. The promoters expect to
build on the survey that goes by
Reagor and the power house is to
be located there and a large park
Is to be laid out there to be a popu-
lar pleasure resort for the people
of Ennis and Waxahachie and those
residing along the line. This begins
to look like there will soon be
something doing in material mat
tiers over this way.-Ennis News.

Street Commissioner Hurt.

That Street Commissioner Fred
Meredith was not seriously injured
in a runaway which occurred Sunday
morning seems little short Of mir
aeulous. He was driving a spirited
horse to a cart and while coming
down College street the animal be-
gan running and crossed the square
at whirlwind speed. When the
cart struck brick crossing on
Washington street Mr.. Meredith was
thrown of, striking the ground with
considerable force. He sustained
several painful cuts and bruises on
the face. Two stitches were required
to close cut place in his nose The
horse was stopped near the Brazos

EXTENDING CITY LIGHTS.
Mckinney Saves Money by Operat-
ing An Electric Light Plant.

Mckinney saves Money by Opefat-
ing An Electric Light Plant.
Alderman John d. Bass tells us
that the city electric light plant is
being extended all over the city, and
many new customers are being ad-
ded, just as fast as the wires can
be put up.
The machinery at the light plant
has all been duplicated, and it is
said that no plant in all the state
has better or more up-to-date ma
chinery than has the citys.
Mr.. Bass tells us that the city
has heretofore been handicapped in
furnishing lights to the business
people and residences in the city,
but all the disadvantages have been
removed, and that the city is now
in a position to accept all the bust
ness it can get
Mr.. Bass states that the city now
has forty-three large street lights,
more large street lights than any
other town in all Texas the size of
Mckinney, and even figuring the
lights at $500 each, the same that
Dallas pays, it is saving to the
city of 1915 per month. The large
lights on the square-the only ones
the city ever had before installing
their plant-so MIR. Bass says. cost
the city $3.50 per month each;
and now the city has forty three of
these fine lights, which costs the
city virtually nothing Mckinney

Pickett Sivley.

One of the most beautiful and in

red in this vicinity took place on
Wednesday night at the charming
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Sivley,
east of town when their daughter,
Vera, was united in marriage to Mr..
c. ID. Pickett, Jr, of Waxahachie
The house was tastefully and pro-
fusely decorated with vines, potted
plants and cut flowers. At the end

The receiving party consisted of

bride, and Miss Mary Sue Pickett,
sister of the groom, stood before the
embankment Of flowers where Rev.
j, w. Michael, Baptist minister of
Little Rock, joined them in the holy
bonds of wedlock.
The great charm and interest of
the affair conferred in the fact that
the contracting parties and the Off
ciating clergyman were all mutes
Mr.. Lee Penn read the ceremony in
| sections from the book, the minister
| repeating the same in the sign Ian
guage, the couple responding in the
same manner.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local applications, as they canno,
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness (eaused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free. f. ]. Cheney &, Co, Tole-

Horse and Buggy Driven.

A horse and buggy belonging to a
man named Byars, who lives in West
End, were used several hours Sat-
urday night without the knowledge
or consent of the owner. After eat
ing supper Mr.. Byars drove down to
town and hitched his horse to a post
near ThornhilIs warehouse. When
he was ready to return home the an
imal and vehicle had disappeared.
He thought perhaps the horse had
broken loose and gone home, but
when he reached home the horse
was not there. He came back to town
to look for the horse and when he
could not find him he reported the
loss to the sheriff's Office. Later in
the night the horse and buggy were
found in West End where they had
been abandoned by some one who
had been driving the animal.
