A Successful and Commendable
Enterprise.
When the Ladies Rest Room
enterprise was launched by the
XXth Century club about eighteen
mobths ago there were a number
of business men skeptical concern-
ing its favorable receptionjby the
country people, and its merit mid
worth, and no few were the predic-
tions made of early death for it.
The good women of the club, how-
evef, did not give any notice to
words of discouragement, but went
steadily ahead with t heir J! work,
backed by some of the public spir-
ited men of the town, and despite
the fact that some of the town’s
leading firms have never given any
aid whatever toi its maintenance,
the Rest Room has been kept open
continuously through the summer
and winter, spring and fall, and
has grown much in the graces of
the country people.
That the country ladies find it a
great help and convenience, and
greatly appreciate the comforts
afforded by it is a fact beyond
questioning and is evidenced by
the great patronage given it, which
reached a total of 1,176 visitors
during the four months just passed.
Instead of being asked to con-
tribute to the support of the enter-
prise, which at times is ho little
burden to the clnb, the business
men should be glad of the privilage
of donating regularly to it, and
should volunteer all the aid neces-
sary for a successful continuance
of it.
Barn Burned.
T^rotn a report received here to
day it is learned that last night the
barn and corn crib on Ben Clark’s
place one mile north of Poolville,
was destroyed by fire.
Cd Ballou is a tenant on the
place and lost 200 bushels of corn,
it is reported. The fire is supposed
t6 be the work of an incindiary, as
horses which Mr. Ballou had
turned out from their stalls earlier
in the night were found back in
the stalls with the doors chained
when the fire was discovered, and
it was only after strenuous efforts
that they were rescued.
Our'holiday goods are now on
display. Coffle in and see what
we have. We can please you.
| J. W. Braselton & Son.

H. S. Moran,

The county commissioners court
were in session this week from
Monday forenoon until Tuesday
afternoon when they adjourned
until next Monday, at which time
they will meet for the purpose of
hearing a report of the condition
of the jail and deciding upon some
repairs whioh are said to be very
greatly needed.
Among the most important busi-
ness transacted by the court daring
its two days’ session was the elec-
tion of county road superintendent,
a county farm superintendent and
court house janitor for the ensuing
year. N. P. Thomas, the present
incumbent, was re-elected road
superintendent without opposition.
For janitor, Anderson Wooden, the
former janitor, George Dawson and
Steve Douglas were applicants.
The last named was elected on first
ballot. J. T. Arnett was elected
county farm superintendent with-
out opposition. Mr. Thomas’ sal-
ary was fixed at $50, Mr. Arnett’s
at $30, and Douglas’ at $25 per
month.
Henry Morris was granted per-
mission to change the Weatherford
and Aledo road for about one-
quarter of a mile along bis land,
provided he prepares the new road
for the grader and donates the
gravel.

indigent list at $5 per month.

$8; W. R. Havenhfll, $2; J. D.
Bounds, $8; G. W. Baker, $5.25;
Jas. Holmes, 55 cents; W. L.
Byrum, $4.50; W. R. Havenhill,

Upon petition of J. M. Howell
and others, and by agreement of
interested parties, the court ordered
the opening up of a second-class
road 30 feet wide, beginning on the
Stephenville road about six miles
southwest from Weatherford at the
northeast corner of A. A. Everett’s
ranch, just beyond Sanches creek,
running west to a road leading
south from the Brazos-Brock road
to the Dennis bridge.
On account of excessiveness, the
assessment on 60 acres of land in
T. & P. Ry. Co. abstract No.
1,410, belonging to E. R. Alcorn,
was redueed $200.
On petition of T. F. Millsap and
twenty others, an election was
ordered to be held in Millsap school
district, No. 49, on Saturday, Jan.
2, 1904, to determine whether or
not the special school tax in said
district shall be abrogated. T. F.
Millsap was appointed presiding
officer.
Mrs. J. L. Snider was relieved
from paying taxes for year 1903 on
twenty-five head of cattle erro-
neously assessed.
W. O. Rutledge and others were
allowed $30 for hauling lumber
and for money expended for bridge
work.
Before adjourning,' the court
decided to have the county jail
thorotfghly inspected by competent
and reliable parties during the
week, and a report of the condition
thereof be made at the adjourned
session next Monday, at which
time definite plans for improvement
and repair will be decided upon.

allowing accounts, etc., was trans-
acted.
