Caldwell, fTex., Friday, December 31.
A SUBSTITUTE OFFBKED.
Since our last issue a number
éof property • owners and other in-
terested parties have expressed
■ma opinion one or another about
the paving vf Railroad street,
it it ahould and could be done
to be denied by none. The
only trouble acknowledged by all,
in the lack of a leader who can
rout the best efforts of all
/ho should take part. In
other words, so many are work-
ing for self and against the world
that they cannot be persuaded to
join any move like this for the
general good of the town.
While not fully agreeing in this
opinion, we must admit, the prop-
er public spirit is very greatly
locking, and therefore accept as
« nnbatitute for our plan, one
fnronght forward by several con-
servative business men, which is
' to temporarily abandon the idea
of paving the street and give full
attention, and bend every effort
toward getting a walk graded
«■d paved from O. W. Johnston's
fvrniture store to the depot plat-
form. Quite a number of prop-
erty owners on that strict have i
signified their willingness to bear
the expense of such a walk in
" fri^ t of their property. This
vrould help a great deal, and an-
other good thing is an apparent
willingness on the part of the
city to bear the expense of the
grading and paving across the
•treeta which would in several
places necessitate culverts. If
this much can be definitely accom-
plished certainly the obtain may
be obtained.
Will not someone take sufficient
interest in the town to go ahead
and agitate this matter? Surely
comparative strangers and as
young men as the editors of the
Nkw -Chkomci.k, are not expect-
ed to take the lead in a move for
the advancement and improve-
ment of the town. Is not the in-
fluence of the paper sufficient for
Ma?
f.ct some older man lead and
we will follow him as close as a
brother, with money, work or in-
fluence, so far as possible.

LARGES.
With its next issue the N«wh
Chkonici.k will be enlarged from
ita present form of eight pages to
twelve pages of the same size.
The management of the paper
fry received considerable en-
couragement and financial sup-
port from its subscription de-
partment and we feel it no more
than just that we show our appre-
ciation of a hearty growth of our
aubscription list by an increase
in the size of the paper and the
volume of news matter furnished
our readers. We shall continue
right on in the same line we com-
menced last May—putting in

Laat Sunday morning about 6
oVlack Fred Jones, a wild and
wooly young gentleman of Hill
county was cnroiming in Waco's
saloons and after getting most
gloriously full of «pi/on, he com-
menced recklessly flourishing a
deadly six-shooter in the faces of
friend* and foes.
He was invited to take a drink
by a yvung man by the name of
Ben Riddle. Jone , said he pre-
ferred «hooting to drinking just
then. Riddle replied, «All right,
shoot.
The result was two shots from
Jones" six-shooter, one bullet tak-
effect in Riddle's groin and the
other in his leg. He will be apt
to recovor but may die.
Jones is «till in the custody of
the officers and cannot make the
bond of $750 which ha been al-
lowed him.
He is also wanted in Hill coun-
ty for murder. He was out on
bond for that offense bat after
his Waco scrape he was sur-
rendered by hia bondsmen.
Unless he has a trial within
the next year or two he will prob-
ably get off with a two or three
years sentence.
