New ginghams at Britain's.
R. O. Harvey went to Sager-
ton Wednesday evening on cotton
business.
Better take a look at those
ladies shoes on special Saturday
at Britain's.
A new awning has been put up
in front of the pool hall, which
improves its looks much.
Money to loan on farms and
ranches. Apply to G. M. Head,

S. Suttlemyer returned Wedn-
esday to his home at Toyah after
a short visit in his old home town.
Why don't YOU trade at Bri-
tain's where they sell for less?
Mrs. T. L. Miller of Clarendon
is here for two or three weeks
visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. W.
Gore.
Reports from every section of
Baylor county indicate that the
cotton acreage will be largely de-
creased.
See those pretty tan Crave-
nette pumps at Britain's.
G. M. Head made a trip to Fort
Worth first part of the week and
on the journey back says he saw
no town as well lighted as Sey-
mour.
Attention should be paid early
to the garden plot. Try a little
intensified farming on it. Use
well decayed manure from barn-
yard or chicken house.
Specials for Saturday at Bri-
tain's: All ladies high shoes
that formerly sold for $3.50, spe-
cial for Saturday $2.50. Remem-
ber this is for Saturday only.
Miss Clara Goss is spending
the week at home for the reason
that her music class, as well as
the public school, at Olney is sus-
pended for the week on account
of diptheria.
J. T. (Uncle Johnnie) Stevens
writes from Rockport enclosing
a big check on subscription, and
says he is there on the beach eat-
ing fish and oysters. He prom-
ises to say more later.
Fire Boys Entertain.
Members of the fire depart-
ment were hosts Tuesday even-
ing to the City Council, Board of
Trade and Banner editor in a
smoker held at their rooms in
the Henson building. All pres-
ent joined in the sentiment that
it was the most pleasant evening
each had spent in many a day.
The Banner scribe was there
with his pencil to take down the
speeches, but he was soon
swamped and had to give up.
Everybody made speeches with
the exception of Bob Lunsford,
who was feeling a little bad.
And everybody's speech except
the editor's was so mingled with
wit and pathos that the audience
was transferred quickly from
tears to laughter.
The retiring chief, J. D.
Blanks, made a report of all the
fire alarms since the company
was started. Three houses were
lost before the waterworks were
put in. Since that time, about
18 monts, there have been about
a dozen alarms turned in and a
total loss by fire of $430. In re-
sponse to the sentiment that the
fire boys should have anything
they wanted, Mr. Blanks said a
second story on the station would
enable some of the boys to room
there and be on the spot when
an alarm sounded. Many other
things in the way of suggestions
and plans for co-operation were
brought out. The visitors donat-
ed enough money for a nice cus-
pidor. The entertainment ended
with the hope that this occasion
of good fellowship would not be
the last.
Members of the fire company
are as follows: G. D. Peak*
Chief, F. L. Knight Asst. Chief,
B. K. Rhea Sec., G. A. Buie
Treas., J. D. Blanks* President,
C. D. McKeehan, R. H. Luns-
ford, W. E. Lunsford, W. Gor-
man, Watt Richeson, M. W. Coy*,
Lee Coy*, J. E. Robertson, J. O.
Jones*.

Remember that we take the
risk on the shoes we sell. If
they are not good we make them
good. Britain Dry Goods Co.

Jack White
As the reader has been before
apprised of, Mr. J. V. White is.a
candidate for treasurer. This
fact will be further impressed
upon the reader's mind before i
the primary comes off, as Mr.
White intends making a thorough
canvass. The Banner is not go-
ing to try to prejudice the voter
in favor of Mr. White as against
any other candidate, but we are
going to say very frankly that he
would make a mighty good treas-
urer. He is a man of high intel-
ligence, is thoroughly honest and
conscientious in everything he
undertakes, is affable and cour-
teous, wants to make an honest
living for his family, and would
serve the county in a way that
would leave nothing to be desired.
Jack White was born and
raised in Mississippi where he
received his early training. Com-
ing to Texas, he located in Ellis
county for a time. Twenty-two
years ago he cast his lot with the
people of Baylor county and has
been here ever since. He has
lived in Cache Creek, Shady and
Bomarton communities and has
formed warm friendships among
the peoble of each place. At
Bomarton he was in the grocery
business for some time, acquir-
ing there sufficient knowledge of
book-keeping to enable him to
easily handle the treasurer's
books. However, he is not
ashamed to say that most of his
life has been spent in hard work
on the farm.
If elected Mr. White promises
to be in his office at all times
when needed. He guarantees to
keep the books exactly according
to law and to keep all the affairs
of jiis office up in good shape.
Being a man of perfectly reliable
character, Mr. White will make
good these promises. Altogether
we might say that he will be an
eminently qualified man to cast
a vote for next July.

Depot Progresses.

work is finished and bricklaying
begun. The facing brick is be-
ing culled and about one fourth
