parts of the county.
The proposal of constructing a con-

LOTS OF TURKEYS
'DeWitt Farmers Employ HGders to
q Stay With F7ocks.

II Cuero, Tex, Oct. 6.-With the near
End of the cotton season, the attention
down this way diverts itself TO the
turkey crop, which from all indica-
lions is one of Dewitt county's best,
from a standpoint of quality If not
quantity.
The turkeys are getting plenty of
green feed and grass and weed seeds
in addition to their grain rations and
they are exceptionally fat and heavy,
and will be ready to step on the scales
by the time the dressing season opens
here on November ].
On account of the value Of the
larger flocks of turkeys the farmers
are employing herders to stay with
them and see that they do not stray
too far from home, and that travellers
Through the country in trucks and
cars do not stop to pick up few OF
the flocks as they go through.
Some of the larger breeders Of
bronze turkeys employ herders all the
year round, finding the practice to gel
better results than to try to keep tur.
Keys in close confinement.
The turkey crop Of Dewitt and ad
Joining counties is rated at about a IL
per cent increase over the previous
year.

TO CALL ELECTION
Del Rio Plans to Widen and Pave
Streets.

Del Rio, Tex, Oct. 8. - The city
commissioners have decided to call an
election early in November for tine
purpose Of authorizing the issuance OF
about 100000 in bonds for the pur-
pose OF street paving east OF Main
street. and for the filling OF the va
caucy on the city commission caused
by Commissioner 4. A. Nunley moving
out III the city.
A contract for paving fifteen blocks
on Griner street, west of Main street,
and the extension of Main street north
for several blocks past the railroad
track and roundhouse, was recently
let to Uvalde firm, and this will be
in addition to that work. The Uvalde
firm has already begun a survey and
paving work will begin about the first
of November on the contract already
let.
The first steps in the widening Of
Main street were begun last Friday
night, when the Chamber of Com
merce put a committee to work with
this end in view.
The present plan is to have all
buildings erected in the future on the
east side Of Main street, placed tcS
feet back from the curb, wiz the ulti-
mate view of having the present struc-
lures also placed the same distance
back, thus widening the street ten
feet.
The widening will begin with Gar
field street, a broad street, running
east and west, and will extend south
the full distance Of Main street.
The plan has so far met with the
favor Of business men involved.
The Chamber of Commerce will re-
imburse property owners for loss suf-
fered in making the change.
