II T. Stringer. foreman of the J.J
I!. Anderson farm in the Walker
Creek community out from Ennis.;
;is attending court hen' Monday. I
:r Stringer savs the roads from J
i.iii. out to the Andersen farm are
i-i bad condition.
Mr Stringer has been foreman of
O.is farm since 1900 and is pretty
.ell versed in fanning in Kills!
county. Last year he had in some- i
thing like <;u0 acres of the l'11" in j
cultivation in cotton and like |
many other Ellis county farmers j
has become convinced that the one-j
> rep idea is a great hig mistake i
lie -a>s he would like very much to j
diver-ify. and is goins to do it to j
some extent but that many of the;
renters will be compelled to put in!
considerable cotton because the land
is not suitable for grain. He expects
to cut the cotton acreage on this!
farm at least Inn acres this year. |
He will plant oats sorghum and
corn.
Speaking of the pike roads in
that vicinity. Mr Stringer says they
have held up well and are now in
good condition. He attributes this
to the faei that good material was
used in constructing the pikes in]
that community. He lives only
three miles off from the pike and I
when he reaches it he can make it
to and from town with ease.

All frills were eliminated at the spe-
cial request of Ohio's new chief ex-
ecutive Columbus society people
sought hard to retain the inaugural
ball feature but Willis took a firm
stand against it as well as the
custom of issuing invitations to the
various ceremonies
John Jones farmer from Adas
county occupied just as advantag-
eous position at the inauguration
as the best known politician in the
state.
"The public elected me and the
public is entitled to the hist at tin*
inauguration" was the position
taken by Willis.
The new governor took the oath
of office at noon and then made
his inaugural address from the
state house steps where everybody
could see and hear him. The in-
augural parade followed. Then came
the public reception in the rotunda
of the sU.tehouse and the cere-
monies ended at fi p. m.
Expenses of today's inaugural
were estimated at 3300. The in-
auguration of Gov. Cox two years
ago cost $11000.

S. I*. Spalding returned Tuesday
morniug from Corsicana where he at-
tended a meeting of the trustees of
l he Texas Odd Fellows' home oil
Monday and reports a most interest-
ing and enthusiastic session. The
trustees got their reports in shape
for the grand lodge which will be
convened in March.
In going carefully over the work of
the home the trustees familiarized
themselves with what is being done
in every branch of the work. Mr.
Spalding reports that there are now
114 2 persons being cared for at the
home. Of this number 171! are girls
142 boys 1" widows 4 old ladies
and 7 old men. In the schools main-
tained by the grand lodge at the
home there are -8fi children.
All the inmates of the home eat at
one time in the large dining hall and
the sight of these wards of the Tex-
as Odd Fellows at their meals was
one of interest to the trustees. The
best of discipline is enforced the
children moving in rank to the taps
of a boll when entering and leav-
ing the dining hall. The trustees
took dinner with the inmates and
Mrs. Spalding declares it. was a rare
treat.
It is also reported that founda-
tion has been laid and material plac-
ed on the ground for the $35000 old
folks' home to be erected at once.
This will add materially to the com-
fort of the homo.
