The Denton scholastic total will be
by far the largest in the history of the
city, and may reach 1,500—which would
be a gain of an even 100 from last year.
The supplemental roll kept by Census-
taker R. Ledbetter has already added
enough to bring the total past 1,470—a
gain of 70 fronf last year—and he added
two more Wednesday from families
who have moved here without having
their children enumerated elsewhere.
A number of transfers are beimr made
Into the Denton district also, Mr. Led-
better said Wednesday, and the pros-
pect is for an actual enrollment in -the
schools of more than 1,600 next year.
The Denton county hay crop is turn-
hig out a very fine quality and a fair
good yieW, according to J. G. Hester,
who has just eompleted the work on
W. S. Ixmg's (&-acre meadow north of

The School Board is virtually mark-

that ft *wili be impossible to get the
High School building completed before
Christmas, if everything moves off
without a hitch. The prompt sale of
the bonds might move this date up a
few days, however, for everything • is
ready to close up finally the contracts
the rhoment the sale is completed.
The board met Tuesday night in ad-
journed session, but about the only
business was the allowing of accoun s
and the appointment of a committee to
secure an abstract of the lot receuti/
purchased fbr the negro school build-

An abstract bt the deed records of
Denton county destroyed by the court-
house fire in 1875 and belonging to the
Jagae Abstract Company clears the ti-
tle to three acres of the present City
Cemetery, according to the statement
of J. W. Jagoe Wednesday. He has
been looking up the title to the land on
the request of some of the old-timers
of the county and reports that in 1868
D. M. Street and wife deeded the three
acres, now a part of the City Cemetery,
to Defiton .county to be used for cem-
etery purposes. ’ .
•In a deed from John L. Ruddell and
Martha L. Ruddell, husband and wife,
transferring a part of the H. Cisco sur-
vey to M. S. Stout and H. F. Schweer,
dated January 12, 1894, and of record
in book 50, pages 197, 198 and 199, men-
tion is made of four and a half acres
of land excepted from the transfer that
at that time was fenced and used by the
public as a grave yard and known as
the City grave yard. The record gives
no reference to the land having ever
been deeded to any one for cemetery
and records back of that date. •
A statement from John L. Ruddell
says: “Many years after D. M. Street
deeded the three acres to Denton county
and they had been well filled, it being
some time in 1893 or 1894, Judge F. E.
Piner and John L. Ruddell, being the
owners of this land, donated about
three acres to the public for a grave
yard. This last is the north portion of
the land at present fenced as the City
Cemetery. I believe the records of Den-
ton county will clearly show this to be
true."

The Civic Improvement committee of
the City Federation of Women’s Clubs
completed their Inspection for the
month of July Wednesday morning
and reports the general condtions over
the city to be much improved over
what they Were last month when the
dry weather conditions at present are
taken into consideration. They reported
finding a number of yards that were
beautifully kept and cared for
The committee chairman, Mrs. W. A.
Jones, called special attention to the
conditions around the sidewalkes, the
houses and under the fences and the
committee made a close inspeciton of
those places and a number of low scores
were reported on account of finding un-
cut grass and weeds in those places
The committee especially requests that
more careful attention be paid to the
copdltions around the sidewalks and
fences where the grass is not easily cut
but when alloWed to grow can cause a
low score for a lawn otherwise in ex-
cellent condtition.
Since the schools closed there has
been little attention paid to the con-
dition of the school grounds and th«
committee reported that unless the
grounds are improved upon it will be
impossible to allow any prizes on the
conditions they found in making the
July inspection. The condition of a
number of the church lawns received
special commendation from the com-
mittee which was especially pleased to
find all rank growths of weeds and
grass removed and the lawns being] All families moving to town from
kept mowed smooth and level. ,
The members of the Civic Improve-
ment committee making the July inspec-
tion were Mesdames W. A. Jones, R. H.
