dowments which go to make up the

unfortunately compelled them to make
use of the cheapest methods in render

was led from the nearest stream In a
pillow furrow and the irrigator in wet
feet tried TO spread 1t over the field

walking pillow and shovel. has given
place to a large number of imple-

DRUG FIRM INCORPORATES
New Concern Will Be Known as The
Fuller Pharmacy.

The Fuller Pharmacy is the name of
a new company Incorporated in Dal-
las yesterday by W. V. Fuller, D. P.
Patterson and Oscar Hayter. The cap
ltal stock of the company is placed at
$4,000, divided in 100 shares of $40
each. The object of the company is
to deal in all articles pertaining to the
drug business.
by the new arrangement, D. P.
Patterson, who has been employed in
the Fuller drug store, secures an in
terest in the business. This will be
good news to all who enjoy Mr.. Pat
terson's acquaintance. He is a skilled
pharmacist and is deservedly popular,
and it is pleasing to know that he has
permanently identified himself with
the business interests of Dallas.
The Fuller Pharmacy was estab-
lished a few years ago by the late
Charles Belt and G. N. Cherrington. 1t
occupies the corner room in the Uglow
building, one of the prominent bust
ness corners of the city, and carries a
stock far superior in size and quality
to those usually found in town the
size of Dallas; in fact, few of the
large cities have more modern drug
stores than the one conducted by this
firm.
The many patrons of the store will
wish the new company abundant sue
cess in its business career.

DALLAS is A DRY TOWN
Former Resident Urges People to On,
Grass and Weeds.

The Observer is in rooA;..
lo''owihg communication from or
who was a resident of Dallas t,uo,, :,
years ago. and who returned onlv 70
Gently to visit former scenes Tho - -
Ter contains a rather sharp criticism
OF certain features connected Will m
municipal growth, but as this reprooI
is evidently offered in a snirit =,
friendship and interest in the futur,
welfare Of the town, we oivo - :
place IN our columns: The write,
says: ''
The other day I passed througb
your city. My recollection of If sonoo
10 or ~ years ago was that of dusty
streets, board sidewalks, and woods
weeds everywhere.
"Well the streets are muoh ho4
ter now But there are still too marv
board walks for town of Da,los, :,
size at this day and age. From tbo
number of new ones, and the nou
patches IN old ones, | judge that YOUR
council prefers them.
But the weeds and neglected
yards and those park strips T had
told my friends that Dallas was a live
town. They gave me the laugh, saw
ing, look at those yards, look at
those parkings!" We drove on"
"Now, | do insist that Dallas is a
good town, and that it is going to be
better. But it is time for its people
to think about taking on city ways. IfI
washing some of your front store win
dows is lefty ways" you had better
catch on. If using few nails in
your sidewalks or fences are city ways
don't neglect to adopt them Dallas
is no longer village excusing the
busy housewife if she neglects to re-
move her kitchen apron or morning
wrapper before going to the corner
grocery.
"The principle excuse your people
made to me for the poor appearance
of the town 20 years ago, was the alb
sence of water. | do not know their
cry today. But | do know that Dali
las has more neglected lawns and park
strips than any other town of twice
its size in the valley. Even lack of
water would not excuse you for not
down the weeds. You had
better turn the cows loose again if
people will not keep the weeds from
growing as high as the fences and tax
ing half Of the walks.
Getty water is not necessary, al
though it makes home look inviting.
But the yards can be moved, the
trimmed, the walks mended
and few flowers can be grown in
every yard without any expense.
81 do not believe many of the ladies
IF your town realize the Importance
IF making the home as attractive on
he outside as on the inside. Do not
excuse yourself by pointing out a !
,tarved-out rose bush in the front
yard. Dallas could be made one of
he best and prettiest towns in the
state, if its people would make it look
more inviting to strangers.
"More people is what you need.
But none will come where they would
