The Luray Herald saws: Water
pipes have been laid throughout the
Ellis county Court House, and not only
is fresh water on every floor for drink
ing, but fire protection is improved
greatly. When can Russell hope for
this?'' "Hays City not only has ham
in one of the meat market windows
which ham looks like genuine and
proves to be petrifed, but it has a
bogus sack of floor, as it seems to be,
which someone has dropped at the side
OF the road in the western part of
town This ON close examination turns
out to be a block of cement which set
in a sack and now performs the func-
tions of protector for corner post.

from crowding too close to the post on

Student was a RustIer.

Prof. Picken tells of a young gentle
man student who enrolled this week
from county which has hitherto been
unrepresented at the Western Normal
School. The young man came in Mon
day morning and by ten o'clock had Sc
cured employment in one of our local
business houses to pay his board before
he even enrolled or had visited the
Normal. The pluck of the young school
teacher is to be admired, as well as the
a tion of the business men in extending
their support to the students who de-
sire to work their way through school.

be from one to nine cents cheaper.
