HE'S FROM FULTON.
Buys Farm in Texas and by Shutdown
Has House Built and Sleeps
In H.

His name is Cecil III. Sipes, a
son of the late G. Runyan Slpes,
and he was born in Licking Creek
township. A year ago he went
to that part of West Virginia
known as the Panhan lle, bought
a farm, and by intelligent hust
ling, got possession of about all
that was worth having there.
Finding the 'pan handle" little
too small, he closed out his hold
ings and looked on the map for a
bigger state. He liked the looks
Of Texas, and to Texas he went.
He dropped down at Mercedes,
38 miles from Brownsville. The
following is clipped from a late
copy of the Enterprise, a news
paper published ct Mercedes,
Texas, and gives a snapshot of
what the young man Is dong:
"Mr. q. H. Sipes, new settler
IN the Mercedes country holds
the envlable record of being about
the swlftest farmer IN this sec.
tion. February 18th Mr.. Slpes
purchased forty acre tract of
land and by sundown he had
erected a cozy little two room
house, shingled and all complete
aud was sleeping IN it that night.
In less than fifteen days from that
date he had thirty.fve acres
cleared and began the planting of
same in Gotten"
In a recent letter from Mr..
Calvin Greene, the well known
Saltlllo Tannery man, Mr.. Greene
says that he has two sons in.law
down IN Mercedes, in the Hard
ware and Agricul'u ural Imple-
ment business. One day not long
ago, a man came into their place
to buy plow. He said to Mr..
Greene's son-ln,l law, where did
you come from?"
"Mlfflln county, Pa !" was the
answer.
"And who are you?"
"Slpes is my name. | am from
Fulton county, Pa, and have hauI
ed many a load of bark tc
Greene's Tannery at Saltlllo."
Mr.. Greene says that II Mr.,
Sipes is a good all-around, indus
trious man, and lives, he can, lu
twenty-five years, be rich man.
Mr.. Greene further says that the
climate there is ldeal-no winter,
and the summers no hotter than
IN Pennsylvania, and that young
ambitious married or single mer
IN Fulton county cannot find g
better spot on earth to make
their fortunes.

The Office Should be Abolished.

President Judge Evans, of Co.
lum bia County refused to grant
ahcense to sell liquor to man who
was a month ago convicted of vlo-
lation of the liquor laws and sen
fenced to pay a fine and be I'M.
prisoned IN the county Jail. The
two Associate Judges were not
scrupulous however. They were
in favor of granting the license
and were able to Outvote the
President Judge. Such episodes
ac this have created sti ong SEN
timent throughout the counties
where Associate Judges still ex-
lst for the abolition of the office.
1t is of small consequence any
where in these days and frequent

NO ACTION YET BY
 BOARD OF GOVERNORS
A Quorum Failed to Appear Yester- day and Adjournment Was Taken Until P. M. Today.

Five members of the board of gov met yesterday pursuant to the meeting adjourned from the first Monday in | the month, the purpose for which the meeting was to as semble being the fixing of the | annual assessment for the main tainence of the association. As six members are required for a quorum, no business was transacted except to adjourn under a motion to meet today at 3 o'clock, which motion was amend ed to read o'clock. Those present yesterday were Messrs. John P. Orme | E. J. Bennitt, Charles Peterson and Joe Cope. members, and B. A. Fowler president of the board. In addition there were present at the meeting T. Bone J. A Ninson, Bert Wingar. c $. Stew ard and Geo R. Brewster It is sup posed that some of them at least rep resent the element that is in oppOsi- ton to the construction of a water building. but as there was no quorum none of them addressed the board
 The suppositiOn is based merely on the fact that it is known that in the MuTpHS ulSU1CI meeting Ol that element was held last Saturday. which passed resolutions for presentation to the board. A meeting was held at AL hambrd Monday at which resolutions for the same purpose were passed. which resolutions are published else where in this issue. Some of the gen tlemen were recognized as coming from the neighborhood of Alhambra. though none of them were recognized as residents of the Murphy district
 In an effort to discover the attitude of the eleven members of the board of governors, including the president, it was learned that eight. including Pres ident Fowler, have expressed them selves as favorable to a building, one other says that personally he is in favor of a building, but that his con stituents are not and he has withheld his support of the project for that reason. The other two, who are both absent from the city, have made no expression. at least if they have it has not gained publicity. There is, therefore, no question what the action on the matter would be were the full membership of the board here, but what will be done today. if anything. is quite prOblematicaL There is, in fact. considerable doubt whether a quorum can be mustered.
