tee thought the most feasible plan!
would be to let the numbers of tin* j
houses on the Heights Im continued j
from Viekory Boulevard, correspond- j
iug to tHe numbering in the city. The
report was adopted and a committee |
appointed to eunf< r with the eity’engi- j
neer in regard to tUe sum", ijnminittoes j
appointed to see people in different sec- ;
tions of the Hill, about putting in posts
for free delivery, made favorable re-1
ports.
It was learned that the city post of-
fice officials are seriously considering
the wishes of the League, in regard to j
free mail delivery. It was reported that
they have said that free delivery can >
be assured if the street signs and mail
posts are put up and the houses prop-1
erly numbered.
Manv other subjects, such as incur- j
noration, water works, and sewerage
were discussed. But nothing definite
was done other than tlie plan of imme ;
diatelv putting up street signs, number- j
iug houses and putting up posts for the

was a little romrniee between the two,
and had known it since l!Mi5, their first
year at the college, but no one dreamed
Hint it had idn ady terminated in a mar-,

of either of the two that it should la*

secret was safe and doubtless would
not have been revealed had not Mr.
Connor received a telegram*Friday that
a position with a cotton firm in Okla-

tice of the Court of Civil App als for
this District, and member of the Board

on our football team, as well as second
baseman on 1 lie baseball team. Tie was
scheduled to do the high jump for us
against Austin College in the track
meet last Friday, but well, hi* didn’t.
No more popular student has ever been
among the hoys than George M. ( mi-
nor. and his loss lias to a considerable
extent crippled our athletic teams. But,
• It is an ill wind that blows nobody
good.” We’ve lost, but Loilie has
gained.
The parents of both the young peo-
ple had known of the marriage for
some time, hut agreed to say nothing
of the matter till the couple were ready
I to make the announcement. After the
announcement they were at home at
Judge Connor’s on the Hill till Mon-
da v morning, when they departed on
the Santa Fe for Oklahoma City, where,
as stated before, George will engage in
the cotton business for a Japanese firm
with headquarters at Tokio.
The best wishes of a host of college
friends accompany them to their new
borne.
