such enterprises. Gainesville
people are not paying out their
hard cash for wind, these stormy
times; not much, Majah.
Farmers in the Valley View
and Era communities are making
considerable complaint about inju-
ries to their oats recently sown,
done by English sparrows. In
many instances these little feath-
ered pests have scratched up and
devoured the sown grain of nearly
entire fields. Several farmers were approved.

Capt. J. H. Wazner returned to
the city last night from Denison,
and is now ready to settle the
question of creamery or no cream-

If our people want a creamery
at Gainesville, they must go to
work to-day and raise the amount
of stock necessary to have the en-
terprise built.

There were a large Lumber of

from the country yesterday and

The creamery movement is
favored by all the farmers. This
is the strongest evidence that such
an enterprise will prove a success.
A. A. Green went to Fort Worth
yesterday fur the purpose of es-
tablishing a branch office for the

The building situated on Rusk
and Bogg streets, known as the
Ham livery stable, has been torn
down this week and moved to East
Gainesville, where it will be re-
built and used as a private stable.
Farmers in the city from the
Southwest part of the county

has begun in that locality and a
large acreage will be put into the
ground this week, if not prevent-

Epoch.
The transition from long, lin-
gering and painful sickness to ro
bust health marks an epoch in the
life of the individual. Such a re-
markable event is treasured
in 'the memory and the
agency whereby the good health
has beeen attained is gratefully
blessed. Hence it is that so much
is heard in praise of Electric Bit-
ters. So many feel they owe their
restoration to health, to the use of
the great alterative and tonic. If
you are trouble with any disease
ot kidneys, liver or stomach, of
lonjr or short standing you
will surely find relief by
use of Electric Bitters. Sold at
50c and 1^1 per bottle at Gilcreest
A Co.'s drug store.
On motion it was determined
that no compromise should be ac*
cepted in the suit of S. J. Goggin
against the city, now pending in
the county court.
The question of putting in a
stone crossing on Broadway, cor-
ner of Dixon, was referred to the
street committee and the city en-
gineer, with power to act.
A resolution by Alderman Gar-
rett was adopted instructing the
8anta Fe and M., K. <fe T. railroad
companies to make such ditches,
mains, etc., on their property
north ot Belcher street as may be
necessary to carry off and distrib-
ute such water as may collect
there. That such work as may be
needed be done under the super-
vision of the city engineer.
A resolution was adopted call-
ing in bond 23, of the series of
'83, to be paid May 1, next.
On motion of Alderman Hudson
the question ol opening, and
straightening or extending Rusk
street, was referred to the street
committee.
A number of monthly accounts
were read and allowed.
The following reports were read
and received:
The city treasurer reported the
following cash balances on hand:

hereby directed to appoint for
each of the public schools for said
city a principal, whose duty shall
be fully defined and regulated by
said board of school directors,
and who shall draw such salary,
not to exceed $100 per month for
the time actually engaged in the
school, and who shall make
monthly reports to said school
board of his management and con-
trol of his school and be subject to
their control and direction.
Sec. 3. That this resolution
take effect from and after its pass,
age.
The light committee presented
the following proposition from tb®
Gainesville Light and Fuel com-
pany: We will supply bix or
more arc lights, to burn from dark
to daylight, at $15 per month for
each lamp, contract one year, and
such gas lamps as may be required
at $32 per year per lamp for one
year contract or $30 per year for
three years contract. Lamp posts
to be removed at our expense, pro-
vided the posts are not to be placed
over 262 feet from the present
mains.
This proposition differs from
that made to the committee previ-
ously, in that it provides lor tne
removal of lamp posts at the ex-
pense of the gas company instead
of requiring the removal to be
made by the city. This was the
point of contention before.
The tax committee recommend-
ed the following levy for taxes for
the year 1889 on the $100 worth of
property:

The City Colored Sohoole
The city colored schools, under
the principalship of Prof. Lewis,
are progressing smoothly, and the
pupils are apparently making
rapid advancement. The enroll-
ment now numbers 186, and the
average daily attendance is reason,
ably good. There will be four
graduates at the close of the pres-
ent term, which will be about the
last of May. Those booked for
diplomas are MiBS Martha Rodg-
Briwlng Wheat.
Favorable reports come from all
parts of the county regarding the
growing wheat crops. It is
thought there was at least 20 per
cent, more of that cereal sown in
Cooke county last fall than at any
previous season, and with the
present condition of the crop, the
prospects are very glittering for
the raising of several thousan d
more bushels of wheat in the
county this year than ever before

A motion to adopt the report as
a whole was objected to by Alder-
man Bomar, who wanted to vote
on it by sections. He wanted to
reduce the tax levy for public
schools from 50 cents to 37i cents.
Aldermen Howeth and Hudson
spoka in opposition to the reduc-
tion of the school levy. They
paid a tribute to the Gainesville
public schools, and said they would
be sorry to see them crippled.
Mayor Rowland also spoke ear-
hestly against crippling the public
Bchools by reducing their revenue,
claiming that they need more
money instead of less.
Alderman Bomar's motion to
reduce the school levy was lost by
a vote of 5 to 2 as ".follows: Ayes
