Mrs. Sartoris who haa accepted the important office of president of the board

This remarkable result convinced Mr.
Parmele that the northern seed was
the thing to plant especially as land
all around him was making from one-
fourth to one-third of a bale per acre.
Northern seed are rapidly supplanting
other kinds in this section.
Congress of Loyal Americans.
W. C. Fyffe ot this city formerly of
San Antonio has returned from a
meeting of the National Congress of
Loyal Americans held in Chicago. He
is the Texas manager of this order and
submitted the best report made by any
state by over 50 per cent carrying the
meeting by storm. He worked in some
humof in his report and was called on
to speak during the meeting more than
once. When the election of officers
came Mr. Fyffe was elected supreme
first corporal and is thus a member of
the national board for the next three
years. The grand officer who was re-
elected was presented with a gold in-
scribed gavel and Mr. Fyffe was asked
to make the presentation speech
which he did. He also championed a
change of date of the national meet-
ings owing to the fact that southern
members'found it an ordeal to attend
in the winter having encountered a
temperature in Chicago of 14 degrees
below zero and the date was changed
to May of each year.
Separate Compartmerft Cars.
A traveling man ot this city who has
noted the effects ot the arrangement
for separate compartments for whites
and blacks especially in south Texas
is of opinion that the law is a good one
and will result in preventing much
friction between the races. He believes
that the negroes should favor it as
much as the whites as it is a protec-
tion to them he thinks and does not
work any hardship on them. This is
meant to apply to the street railways
the movement in that direction -being
of comparatively recent origin in
Texas so far as the said street cars
are concerned.
Teachers at Marlin.
Superintendent Lattimore of the
public schools of Waco; County Super-
intendent Barcus many bf the city
principals and other teachers have
gone to Marlin to attend the State
Teachess’ association meeting which
assembled Monday night' with a meet-
ing of the Principals’ and Superintend-
ents’ association. The teachers of
Marlin have arranged a grand recep-
tion for Wednesday night at the Ar-
lington. Prominent educators of Texas
are present and a fine-program is be-
ing carriecf out.

NEW YEAR AT THE CAPITAL.
It Will Msrk ths Opening of the So-
cisl Season in Washington.
Special to The Light.
Washington. D. C. Dec. 30.—Preps-
rations for the Whitehouse reception
which is one of the features at the ob-
servance of New Year’s dsy at the
national capital are completed. The
receptions will be largely attended if
the weather is favorable and it will
be the official opening of the social
season in Wsshington.
The publio function will be pre-
ceded by the receptions to tha ju-
diciary the diplomatic corps end the
army and navy and congreaalonaj re-
cebUons. The congreealonal recap-
tion is not usually well attended in
view of the fact that the greater num-
ber of the members of .both branches
of congress are at their homes for
the holiday season'. Very few if any
of' the members of the delegation
from this state will be in attendance.
The chief Interest of the day attaches
to the public reception and this as
usual will be the principal event
New Year’s day will be observed as
usual in this section most of the la-
dles of the cabinet and others in offi-
cial life keeping open house. The de-
partments and most of the business
places of the city will be closed the
day being observed as a holiday gen-
erally.

vitation to visit Rome to attend the
celebration of the jubilee of the Imacu-
late Conception and probably will sail
early next month.
Three Important church questions
are likely to be brought to an issue
while the archbishop is in Rome. They
are the supposed need for foreign
missionaries especially for the Ital-
ians: selection of auxiliary or co-
adjutor bishop for this diocese and the
placing of the American church in di-
rect' communication with the Vatican
by eatablishfaß canon law here and re-
moving the restrictions provided for
