| There was a meeting of the new

We're set on foot for a luncheon at

are interested in becoming mem
bers OF the League are urged to at

the Dallas AID League tell of the
many advantages of an ad club both
to its members and to the town.
Another meeting was held at
1890 this afternoon where plans
were discussed for increasing the
membership of the club.
The Dallas ad men assure the
Waxahachie members that all of
them who visit the National conven-
| ton at Dallas will be treated to
some good things prepared for ad
men by experts in different parts
of the United States. The present in
dications are that there will be a
large attendance from Waxahachie

club a resolution was adopted en-
| dorsing the paving proposition. The
| endorsement Is as follows.
"a greater Waxahachie ought to
be the slogan OF every citizen of the
town, What will make Waxahachie
greater Waxahachie? Civic i'm
lprovement and civic righteousness.
THE Waxahachie AID Mems club
notes with pleasure the fact that
the city authorities have submitted
to the voters an election to deter
mine whether the city shall issue
bonds In the sum of $4,000 for
street paving.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Ad Mems club, that we heartily en-
dorse the issuance of said bonds to
the end that Waxahachie shall have
paved square and paved streets
lradiating therefrom, so that the
mud nuisance in the winter and
the dust nuisance in the summer
may be forever banished from our
city.
Resolved, further, that by secur-
| ing paved streets the city may there
| by enter into an era of development
to the end that we may have a
| greater Waxahachie"
