Scottish Names.

No country has experienced the diff
sulty arising from the commences of
me surname in district more intense
~ than Scotland With a whole coun.
tryside populated by Campbells, Fra.
sers or Gordons, some more distin-
gushing nomenclature had to be
found. And no doubt this was the
chief reason why at one time men
were always known by the name of
their estate or farm. Dean Ramsay
remembered an old cowherd who was
always known as Doggy. His real
name was Sandy Anderson, but he had
once owned a wretched farm called
Boggendreep, and he was Boggy to the
day of his death.

There is no question but that this will
eventually be done. When that time
comes every person coming to Bryan
with team will pronounce 1t great

people of the country did not sooner

would be protected. Let the farmer
understand that the people of Bryan
do not object TO his use of the con-

the entire complaint is against Bryan
for not furnishing him with better and

The improvements being made in
the store OF Messrs. A. M. Waldrop &
Co. will put that establishment second
to none in the state. They are to oc-
cupy the entire two floors, giving them
double their present floor capacity, and
making this store one of the most con-

The City National Bank will begin
in short time to install its new equip
ment, which has been selected with a
view to art, convenience and safety.
A complete description of the remodel

The drinking fountain on Main
street near the International & Great
Northern depot has been in bad repair

There has been an entirely errone-

There is not in all Bryan citizen
who does not delight in welcoming to
the city the visitor from any part of
this or neighboring counties. We do
not undervalue the necessity of per-
feet harmony between the city and

vantage of having clean, inviting
city when our friends come to visit
us, nor do we underestimate the neces-
sity Of furnishing to the visitors con-
venient and safe Accommodations for
teams and wagons while within our
gates. All OF these things must be fur
nished by Bryen. Our streets must
continue to be the corrals until such
time as Bryan furnishes better and
safer hospitality Because some of our
good citizens object to such use of the
streets, it does not mean that they OBJ

GOVERNOR MAY
FILL VACANCIES
SEVERAL SEATS IN MISSISSIPPI
LEGISLATURE NOT
OCCUPIED.

JACKSON, Miss, Oct 26. 1t may
be that when the present legislature
meets in special called session on
Nov l, pursuant to the proclamation
Of Gov. Noel, it will be found that
there will not be so many vacant
seats in the two branches as would
seem probable after a casual survey
Of the field. 1t is true that there
have been several outright resigna-
tons owing to various causes, some
half dozen of which were because OF
appointments rendered them, while a
few others have since left the coun-
ties from which they were elected,
and a few deaths have occurred. In
no instance has there been any move
ment to fill the vacancies thus Gre
ated, and things have gon on in that
way on the very plausible presump-
ton that there would be no more
need for fneir service as Legislators
until the successors of the men re-
signed, departed or deceased should
he sworn in the regular way on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in January.
1t is known that Gov. Noel has been
looking into the question of provid,
ing for the successors of these men,
and as the time limit between the
time of issuing the call for the as
sembly and the date set therein will
not admit of filing the vacated place
by election, it will probably be found
that the executive can fill them by ap-
pointment There has been quite re-
Gently some close studying of the
