First. The matter of city waterworka
ia still problematical and indications
art that it will be months before we
need anv engineering for that purpose.
Second. Upon examination I find a
contract existing between the city of
Weatherford and Mr. Thatcher, a civil
engineer of Dallas, whereby the latter
is employed by the city to do all the
engineering, mapping 0 .t and planning
of the proposed new waierworks sye-
tem, for which services he is to receive
9330.00, said Thatcher paying his own
expenses and mileage. Mr. Thatcher

grinding the iron up with their
drill bit and hope iu this wRy to
soon remove it, but they are run-

out of line, in which case they
would probably lose tbeir well.

He is desirous of installing a plant
here capable of handling 30 to 40
cars of produce and fruits. This
is somethiug that has long been
needed here as a great quantity of
fruits and vegetables go to waste.
It is a matter that our people

GIRL WOMEN.
The general standard of measurement
for vomrohood is "grown-up-ness.’’
When a girl is emancipated from school
and arrives at the dignity of trailing
skirts and elaborate hair dressing she is
looked upon asi
a young woman.
But nature
knows nothing
of such stand-
ards. When the
womanly func-
tion is establish-
ed womanhood
is attained ac-
cording to her
standards, and
there is need of
womanly care
and caution. It
is girlish ignor-
ance or neglect
at this critical
time which often
results in long
years of after
misery.
Mothers who
perceive the evi-
dences of func-
tional derange-1
ment in young girls should promptly
have them begin the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. It establishes reg-
ularity, tranquiluea the nerves am^gaes
up the whole system.

Sunday.1'' She informs us that
work in all departments show in-
creased activity, and that the mem-
bership of that organization has
almost doubled during the last
year, due almost entirely to the
favorable sentiment produced by
the national convention which met
in Fort \yorth last fall. Mrs.
Murphy is also very proud to state
that Parker county carried off tHe

Hon. Sam Streetman, of Cam-
eron, who was appointed by Gov.
Sayers to the seat on the Supreme ,
court bench for the third district
made vacant by the death of Mr.
Collard, is a brother of Mrs. Frank
Hicklin, of this city. Mr. Street-
man is probably the youngest mao
that ever occupied such a. distin-
guished position, being only 32
years oi age. As he was not an
applicant for the position, his ap-
pointment is a fitting testimonial
to his ability.
The barn of A. A. Everett which
burned Saturday was insured for

of hay, besides some corn and
