Though the weather for several
weeks has been bad, and though
rain in abundance has fallen and
added to it snow, still the streets Of
Franklin have remained in good
condition. This was caused by
the watchfulness of our town au-
thorities in charge of the streets.
Drains have been kept open-the
rain falls and the water runs
away. and the untiring road ma
chine keeps the streets rounded
up. There are no more mud holes
in Franklin.

who came here from Saratoga,
Texas. has mysteriously disap-
I peared, and has not been heard
from. He was last seen at the
store of Mr.. A. c. Beadle, near
Calumet, from which place he
said he was going to Garden City
or Franklin, but no one has seen
him at either place.
His suit case, filled with sundry
papers and documents, deposit
books from banks in Saratoga,
Texas. Garden Plains, Kansas
and Sigsbee, Texas, was found
near the railroad track of the
Frisco, neae Verdunville station,
but the owner disappeared as
though the earth had swallowed
him. Sheriff Peterman has the
valise in his possession, and
search for the man is being kept
up.
White enlisted in the army at
Fort Porter, New York. in 1901,
served his time, and re-enhSted
at Oklahoma City. His army
record is good, and he was finally
mustered out at San Antonio. At
ter that it appears from informa-
ton, he worked in sawmills in
various parts of Texas, and came
to st. Mary about a month ago
with the intention OF engaging in
the business of delivering timber
to one of the mills in this section,
and at this writing, no one knows
of his whereabouts. The man
was we'll dressed, had some mon
ey and the evidence at hand de-
notes that he was an acceptable
citizen.
The finding of his clothes and
personal papers beside the rail-
road is evidence that he either
lost them from the train, or that
he was the victim of murderous
plot, but as to the certainty of
these opinions, no one knows.
One report states that he wanted
to cross Bayou Teche, to 60 in the
direction of Grand Lake, where
numerous timber camps are To-
Gated, but the officer learned moth
ing direct whether or not he took
that route. But one thing is Ger.
tain, and that is, White has dis
appeared and he has not been
found, dead or alive.
The sheriff's Office is keeping up
the search for the man, and every
effort will be put forward to learn
something of his fate.

Floods in Texas.

San Antonio, Texas.-A five-inch
rain in less than three hours Oct. %
caused a 15-foot flood in the San An

Alazan creeks out of their banks from
100 to 1000 feet. Thirteen deaths by
drowning have been reported, with
indications that the record will reach
IL or more. All the drownings occur
red in the two creeks, which run
through the city. The property dam
age is estimated at $150,000. The OIL
mos creek, which empties into the
river north of the city, was mile Out

An unknown bandit walked into the

Mexico's Situation.

Carranza has indicated to Washing
ton willingness to retire from the
post of chief executive in Mexico, con-
ditional that Villa is not instrumental
in procuring his resignation, and that
he have assurance that his retirement
would not mean the ascendancy of the
rebel chieftan of the north.
1t seems the one last chance of re-
storing peace in Mexico, and that
chance remote. Intense bitterness has
grown up between the two One will
not yield to the other, and yet be-
tween these two are now divided all
the forces that seem capable of main
tanning a government in Mexico. Car
rama and Villa have the prestige OF
victory.

London, Oct. 26.-The cutting of the
dykes in the low country southeast Of
Dixmude flooded out large German
force in France Some estimates place
the German losses there at 5000
drowned, besides 10000 killed and
wounded. This may give some hint,

when it is declared that the fighting
in this region is the most desperate OF

Diri- Aero.

But whatever the accurate figures
may have been at the opening of the
war, they qnickly became obsolete, for
the aircraft factories of Great Britain,
France, Germany, and Russia immedi-
ately began working under greatly in
creased pressure, turning out aero
planes with great rapidity, the entire
output of machines being taken over
by their respective governments. The
hard usage which the machines are
receiving in the war service, howev-
er, keeps the total number of aero
planes from rising to any great ex-
tent 1t is said that zeppelins are be-
ing turned out at the rate of six a
month.
