Courtesy a Fundamental.

Courtesy is one of the fundamentals
of street railway life said Mr.. Pierce.
Remember that men in the street rail-
way world are all salesmen, simply
selling transportation in place of mer-
chandise. There is a splendid oppor-
tunity to make friends of ones Gus
toners in the street railway business.
The electric railway is the great re-
taller of transportation.
IF the conductor or motorman has
a twenty-four-hour habit of courtesy
the public thinks his chief must be
pretty good sort. 1t knows that
every concern partakes of the person
ality of its head. Business today, in
every line. depends more and more on
friendship. The big man is entering
more and more into contest with the
public; he is emerging from the clois-
tered seclusion of his private office, and
his desk is Up near the front window,
where the public may look in and see
what kind of person it is buying

but such options we're allowed to
lapse. He further claims that while

he advised the purchase OF oil lands

for development of oil fields and that
he was to receive one-fifth Of the

He alleges that after developing the

each, and that he is entitled to one
fifth or $4,000 from each member OF
the partnership. y
The defense denies that any CO.
partnership existed and that Guyer

COMMISSIONERS COURT
VISITED ITALY WEDNESDAY

The commissioners court in a
body came down from Waxahachie
Wednesday morning and accompan-
led by large representative body of
the citizens and business men OF
Italy went out to Chambers creek
bridge between here and Avalon for
the purpose Of seeing what would
be the most practical way of fixing
the road and bridge at that place.
This piece of road is undoubtedly
one of the worst liabilities that Italy
has, in the way of roads. During
excessive wet weather the strip of
road from the bottom of the hill on
the west side to the levee on the
east side is all but impossible, and
Italy is deprived of an immense lot
of the Avalon trade that she is
Justly entitled to.
1t seemed to be the concensus of
opinion that the most practical, and
in the long run the cheapest, way to
fix this would be to concrete the
road fro,.l the foot of the hill on the
west side to the bridge, and build a
viaduct from the east end of the
bridge to the levee. In this way the
problem of maintenance for this

which they look upon road improve
