Some of our citizens are too
careless with their stock. Cows,
hogs, etc., should not be allowed
to run at large. No one likes to
"take up" his or her neighbor's
trespassing animals, nor to have
them 90 injury to the premises.
"A few days ago COW was seen
grazing on Arch street, being
tied to nearby tree. She was

TIMELY TOWN TOPICS.

The show is still with us; it
was advertised to arrive on Oct
%, and it came and it's advertis.
ing signs are still Hopping aud
Tapping up and down the streets.
These may advertise the show,
all right, but certainly they are
not an aesthetic advertisement
of Lancaster, unless you define
the word aesthetic like the mon
key did when he painted his tail
sky blue. He on examining it
exclaimed: "Neat but not gau-
dy." This brings up the ques-
ton why our city fathers would
allow the show to disfgure our
streets, and also raises the in
luiry how long are these signs
to haunt themselves in our faces.
And willie speaking about these
signs, the question comes up
when are We going to keep our
streets clean, when will the town
insist on the merchants putting
their trash i'll boxes or cans, so
that the streets may be free from
paper and trash. This seems
only matter of fairness, for the
merchants are tho only ones who
enjoy the benefits of the trash
cart, for which service the town
pays, and it looks like the peo
pie might enjoy clean street
when they go down or up town.
While on the subject of streets,
how about the stone being plac-
ed on them9 1t is entirely too
large and will not do. When
the town sold its crusher and
screener to the quarry company
the people we're in hopes that
they would get some good screen
ed rocks and dust to 90 upon the
streets. But the rock material
now being put on the sidewalks
make them measure uJ to the
old song, Jordan is a hard and
rocky road to tlavel. And instead
of benetiting the streets is send
ing the venturing pedestrians to
the shoe dealers.
Going back 20 the show, why
is 1t that our people do not more
generally patron'ze good lecture,
while a ten-cent show draws
equal to hy-blistel? Who can
say why? With good opera
house it looks like the town ought
TO be able to have a good lecture
now and then, and it could if we
would only patronize such liter
airy treats as we should We
need to do it, for lectures are en-.
tightening, refining and eleva-
ting, and we need all the good
things we can get.

Our esteemed neighbor on the
other side of the fence takes a ride
on his Wheel and makes the fol-
lowing discovery; From the claims
they have been making, it was an
"eye opener" to the anti-Bailey peo-
ple-the ease with which the Bailey
men took charge of the democratic
mass meeting at Waxahachie Satur-
day. The Wheel has all along felt
and claimed that Ellis county is a
Bailey county" Distance lends en-
chantment to great many views,
and personal feeling is not always a
good thing on which to base an es
innate of condition. But Frank is
good fellow; he is happy in his
conclusions, sc let it go at that.

The Ferris Wheel says: ''The
short run passenger trains operating
between Waxahachie and Garrett on
the Fort Worth branch Of the Cen
trail, were discontinued Wednesday,
March IS. These are trains leaving
Waxahachie at 1000 a. m. and D.
M, returning at 11:15 a. N. and
4:05 p. N. The inconvenience to
Waxahachie travel on account of this
order is causing a great kick to be
made. 1t makes it impossible for
people living north of Garrett to go
day. An effort is being made to have
the trains Teinstated."
