THE BOSQUE COUNTY FAIR.
The first annual meeting of the
Bosque county Fair has gone into j were each represented by promi-
history. The directors who have nent Mnd influential men—Waco
by her Mayor, the Hon J. B. Baker
and by W. W. Seeley well known
labored to make the Fair a success
should have the praise of every
Bosque county citizen. The first
day of the Fair there was a very
good attendance not withstanding
rainy threatning weather and all
who came the first day would
have brought others the second
day, but the weather man took a
hand and the attendance the last
day was cut shorter than would
other vise have been. Some
splendid exhibits of Bosque coun-
ty products were here. The
horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, turkeys,
chickens, geese and ducks, farm
products, flowers etc. on exhibit
would impress one most favorably
with Bosque county. This was
the first of the County Fairs but
it is needless to say that a larger
Fair will be the result each year.
The interest shown by the people
of this section in having some-
thing on exhibition and the mem-
bers who joined the Fair associa-
tion is proof conclusive that they
believe that a county Fair each
year will be greatly beneficial. It
will encourage farmers to raise
better stock and to employ better
methodson thetarm. Everything
considered the directors of the
Fair are well pleased with the be
ginning and are thankful to all
who co-operated in making the
exhibit what it was.
The Texas Central Band kept
things lively throughout both
days. Many complimentary re-
marks were pissed on our band
Among the amusements were a
Gun Shoot, Sack Races, Pie eating
contest. Broncho Busting, Boxing
Matches, Fancy riding by little
boys, Slick Pole climbing etc. A
list of premiums could not be
obtained for this week’s paper.—
Walnut Hustler.
as a public spirited man of large
means, Stepenville by her Mayor,
the Hon. James Collins and by
Mr. Eugene Moore a leading citi-
zen. Glen Rose by Dr. Gaither
and his son Mr. Gaither both men
of influence in their town.
It was not, we presume, the
purpose of those cities to make a
point of selecting men distinguish-
ed as orators as their delegates,
and yet there hardly have been
more eloquent and impressive pre-
sentation of the subject than were
made by these gentlemen. Es-
pecially would we refer to Mayor
Baker’s address, who was first in-
troduced. He spoke at some
length of the navigability of the
Brazos river and that he believed
in the near future said river would
be navigated by steam boats from
W aco to Galveston which would
insure low freight rate from and to
these points and which would be
a great benifit to farmers and
busir ess men of all classes. And
hence he claimed this as an incen-
tive to encourage people along the
proposed railroad from Waco to
Thurber to take courage and lend
a helping hand putting on foot
this proposed railroad which
would prove a blessing financially
to everybody in the country and
towns through which it would
pass. His whole speech was full
of life and thought, and proved
that Waco was alive and enthu-
siastic over this enterprise, and
that they believe the road would
be built.
The very fact of their presence
spoke strongly of the interest
their communities are taking in
the project and afforded the
strongest possible encouragement
for faith in its success.
Woak on the new M. E. church
building was begun last Monday
and the work is progressing rapid-
ly under the efficient management
of Contractor Walley. The Build-
ing Committee will meet again
today and may be able to form
some definate idea as to the date
of completion.—Walnut Hustler.

Two Minutes
Physicians tell us that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in every two
minutes. If this action be-
comes irregular the whole
body suffers. Poor health
follows poor blood ; Scott’s
Emulsion makes the blood
pure. One reason why
SCOTT’S
EMULSION
is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood. It is partly di-
gested before it enters the
stomach; a double advan-
tage in this. Less work
for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least pos-
sible effort is the desire of
everyone in poor health.
Scott’s Emulsion does just
that. A change for the
better takes place even be-
fore you expect it.
We will send you a
sample free.
Be sure that this
picture in the form of
a label is on the wrap-
per of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy.

RAILROAD MEETING.
THE STATE OF TEXAS.
. TRUSTEE’S SALE.
The effort that is being made
. a. pu'ltogether of the counties
0 McLennan, Bosque, Erath ai d
Somervelle to secure a line of rail-
way from Waco through Meridian,
Iredell and Stephenville to Thur-
b r, took on fresh and increased
momentum in the meeting held
list Tuesday at the Court House
in Meridian, presided over by
Mayor Rudasill and at which
Waco, Stephenville and Glen Rose
It is unnecessary to say that
they received a warm welcome, thence N. 30 W. 1614 vrs. to a
stake for the N. W. corner of
The town turned out to meet
them. The court room was filled
with people from the surrounding
country as well as from Meridian,
and many ladies and many men
prominent in different parts of
the county were present.
Mr. Morgan made a clear full
statement of the present state of
the enterprise clearing up some
points that before had not been
fully understood and also Judge
Kimball, chairman of the Meridian
Board of Trade, made a very en-
thusistac talk on the importance
of this railroad enterprise.
At the close of the addresses
the subscription lists were pre- tittle of plaintiff and that by each
sented to those present and the
amount lacking to complete what
is understood the Meridian’s con-
tribution to the expense of a
locative survey, was quickly made
up.
It is understood that a similar
meeting will be held at Iredell
today and we have no doubt that
it will be equally productive of
results. Hon. C. H. Cain of that
city was present and assured the
meeting that Iredell would do all
that might be required of her.
As the Waco and Stephenville
money is already in bank, there
can be no doubt the final locative
survey of the line of the railway
will immediately begin, and we
have the assurance of representa-
tives of strong financial institu-
tions, that when this is satisfac-
torily completed, the pormpt
construction of the road will be
assured.

“I have suffered greatly with indigestion, constipation, also a severe liver trouble,
with loss of appetite. Could not rest well at night; in fact, had no energy to work or even
walk around. I felt like I was packing a heavy load and, was easily exhausted, until I
took Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup, which helped me almost from the first dose.
When I had taken one and one-half bottles I felt like a different man, and I knew that
it was due entirely to your medicine. I used in all three bottles, and consider myself
perfectly cured. At this time my appetite is good, I sleep well, and feel strong and
refreshed on arising in the morning." T. L. SPEED.
