NEW JAIL NEARING COMPLETION

The carpenters and painters are at
work on the finishing touches on the
new county Jail, and the building will
be ready for use in a short while.
This will be one of the best and most
complete jail buildings in this part
of the State. There are eight cells
on the top floor and the lower floor
is to be used as rooms for the jailer
and offices for the sheriff and his
deputies. The building is fireproof
and has every modern convenience,
such as sewerage, electric lights
water and steam heat The top of
the building is made in such a way
as to make it easy to add a third
story If it ever becomes necessary.

THE EMPTY STOCKING.

An empty stocking is the dreariest
tragedy of all motherhood. There is
no picture more appealing, no emotion
that carries a deeper pang and no
sensation as sorrowful in human life
as a Christmas stocking limp and de-
jected. Explaining an empty Christ
mas stocking is the most pitiful task
that Christianity ever assigned a
mother, and to be forgotten by Santa
Claus is the most dreadful day in the
life of a child.
Christmas is built around the love
of a mother for her babe and where
want and hunger huddle and skulk
In the shadow of home and the chill
dren lie in cold and dream Christmas
dreams that never come true, it is
there that the betrayal of the Christ
mas tradition becomes the greatest
disaster in child life.
The gift of the Bethlehem stable
sent a thrill of delight through the
veins of mankind anu taught us new
lessons of unselfish love. We feel
this Christian sensation warming
our hearts when we touch drum, a
sled or a trumpet and hear the glee-
full shouts of happy children as they
explore the well filled Christmas
stocking. -Contributed.

WHO WILL HOLD Pillow?

The first work to be done in the
street paving work to start Saturday
morning will be to plow up the street
for the removal of the top surface
down to the grade line. The idea OF
Mayor Harris is to select some young
lady of the city to have the honor of
holding the pillow that moves the first
dirt. The only question is the young
lady upon whom the honor shall fall.
Mayor Harris has appointed the fol-
lowing committee Of young men to
make this selection: w. ]. Coulter,
o. E. Saunders and Wilson Bradley.
This committee will meet, make
their selection and report to the
Mayor, who will make publication of
same, together with further announce
ments concerning the Inauguration of
the work.

CITY BUILDING NOTES.

(By L. NJ. Ward, Sherman, President
Texas Commercial Executives AS
sociation.)
A lounger never entered the hall of
fame.
The formula of the world is city
building.
Let ancient errors be forgot-live
and boost today.
There's room and glory enough for
all in city building.
Consistency is that trait of human
nature that never lets us quit.
A city can have no better press
agent than well pleased travelling
man.
The railway station is the potent
center of attractiveness to the trav-
eler.
The attitude of one booster will
flavor the spirit of score of slug
CARDS.
Let every citizen be a mine of
authoritative information regarding
his city.

Now comes the high cost of base.
ball. New parks. players purchased
at frenzied finance prices, salaries
high as a billboard. increased travel
ing expenses-these and many other
items of great expense have fetched
about the high cost problem because
patronage has not increased in pro-
portion to cold cash improvements.
Wherefore the big league moguls look
to President Tener for way out of
the wilderness. Golf, motoring, boy
scouting and other forms of recrea-
ton have conspired to hold down at
tendance at games to figures estab-
lished two years ago. Unless the
grandstands fill up at every game the
coming season, fans must expect
something to happen to baseball as it
is staged and played today.-Fort

THE SIEGE OF THE MUD HOLE.

The war against the mud hole is
being waged in earnest in Texas and
the ballot has proved mighty weapon
in combating this destructive evil.
The issuance of a million and a quar-
ter dollars in road and bridge bonds
last month was a decided victory for
the cause of better highways and one
which will be recorded in the archives
of great achievements.
Jupiter Pluvius has sent multitude
of volunteers to the ranks of the road
builders during the past thirty days
and some of the bond issues most bit
ter enemies are now clamoring for
better roads at any cost. Thirty more
battles of the ballots will be waged
in this State at an early date, when
issues to the amount of $6,560,0OO will
be decided.-Texas Commercial Sec.

LITTLE JANE.

She is only six years old
A woman in her ways,
And merits more than | have told
Or written in her praise
She is gentle and refined;
And what to me appears
AS so remarkable, her mind
Is far beyond her years.
She talks with graceful ease,
And modulates the voice
In such manner as to please
The critical and choice.
A reasonable length
OF time is set apart
To give the mind and body strength
And cultivate the heart.
