greatest OF English poets. So chaste
was Mr. Acker's language that at
times it was difficult to determine
whether or not he was quoting from
some of the immortal poets classics
Mr.. J. w. Singleton and Hon. c.
r, Gibson were called upon to re-
count some of the early historical in
cidents in Ellis county and Waxaha-
chic. The talks by these gentlemen
were interesting and were greatly en-
joyed by the entire audience. Mr.
Singleton devoted his remarks more
particularly to the early settlement
of the county He told OF the times
when there were only three or four
houses between Waxahachie and AL
varado, while at the same time
there was little settlement where
Midlothian now stands and another
small group of settlers had located
several miles down Waxahachie
! wien sr. Gibson landed il the
town on January 1, 1867, Waxaha-
chic was a mere village with only a
few business houses scattered around
the square. Mr.. Gibson said he reach
ed Waxahachie early in the morning
and was acquainted with every man
in town by night. Maj. Rogers was
conducting the only hostelry in the
town on the corner where the pres
|ent Rogers hotel now stands, and
soon after Mr.. Gibson's arrival here
the first bank was established by
Capt w. H. Getzendaner and the
late Judge Ferris. Social conditions
existing at that time were described
by Mr. Gibson in most interesting
manner.
Hon S. p. Skinner acted as mas
ter OF ceremonies and performed
these duties in that happy manner
so characteristic of him. 1t
matters little as to the nature of the
occasion, Mr.. Skinner has the happy
faculty of always saying the right
thing at the right time.

the proper arrangements can be
made. the Santa Fe win install a
motor car system on some OF its lines

In addition to the installation of
"a motor car service on some of the
branch lines the construction of the
line from Center to Zuber and the
eventual building of the line on
north from Longview to a point on
the Red river will be eliminated.
The line from Center to Zuber will
connect the tracks of the Gulf, Beau

Texas & Gulf, which Is done in pur-
suance to the agreement entered into
with the state when the merger bill
was passed.
The line will in all probability be
