they could dispose of their
property, and that they do not
require much time in winding
up their business.
A" a result, the negroes left
Big Springs without furt low l
lay. Some of them landed in
Cisco, but our ever watchful
authorities were on the lookout
for them, and immediate action
soon convinced the descendants
of 1 lam that Cisco was not the
place for them, and they Were
made fo move on. ( hir efficient
oflicers, not being satisfied with

coons to
leave1, decided to bring' about a
little reformation in the ranks
of the 1 'iseo colored population,
and their headquarters were
visited, and every idle and

get a job and go to work, or
else vacate instnnter. The
order caused several of them to
■“light a shuck,’’ and now Cisco
can show a brighter population.
Merit Properly Honored.
Mrs. tieovge Langston read a
paper before a meeting, of the
Federation of Woman’s Chibs
of the First District at ( olorado
City last Thursday. It was a
splendid paper and has come
in for a large share of well mer-
ited praise. The Round-Fp
has made a great effort to pub-
lish the paper, but wo regret to
state that space forbids. Mrs.
Langston is historian for the
Fi st District, a position for
which she is eminently quali-
fied, being author of a history
of Eastland eounty which has
str ,ck a responsive chord of:
popularity in this section of1
