Bentlev, Bass & Co.
In many parts of the city people
have in place of giving the city
scavenger a job, deliberatlv emptied
their swill barrels in the allevs. In
one instance a party waited until
after night and then emptied several
barrels of refuse in the alley, filling
the air about the neighborhood with
a smell that would make a glue fact-
ory quit business. The authorities
should attend to this matter and
win the gratitude of about ten
families in that section of the city.
Belton has awakened and is going

long, chuck full of fun. We are
glad af it, and will proceed there
upon the aforesaid days and help
make’em howl. It is a pity more
such things do not occur every year.
People must have outings or they
will dry up and blow away. Whoop
’em up. ’Bah for the celebration!

Bentley, Bass & Co.
We are looking forward to the
Summer Normal to be held in this
city, commencing July 13th., with
great pleasure. Wo still cling to
memories that surrounded us when
we occupied the important and
thankless position of teacher And
wo have our poet at work now on a
welcome “pome,” that is written
especially for the occasion. Advices
from Rounder inform us that he
will be here to attend with his sweet-
est smile.
Mr. L. L. Talley sent to our office
Wednesday some samples of cotton
which was jlanted since the hail
storm, and after having come up,
was eaten by the worms. It is said
that the ground in the section visit-
ed by the hail is full of these worms
and that they are playing hayoc
with cotton that has come up since
the storm. It is indeed hard for
those farmers who had their corn
completely destroyed by the hail, to
now be deprived of a cotton crop
also. We hope the pests will die be-
fore doing any great amount of dam-
age, but the hope is a faint one, for
a very few days is sufficient time for
an army of worms to work havoc
that cannot be estimated. But,
friends, be brave, there’s always
a way over the chasm.
A survey has been ordered by the
commissioner's court, to determine
just where the town of Bartlett is
“at.” It seems at present there is
a question whether part of the town
is in Williamson or Bell County.
Rev. A. J. Bush will continue in
charge of the Christian church at
this place. He had intended to
leave for work in the missionary
field, but at the solicitation of the
entire membership of the church,
has decided to remain in his present
position of pastor.
The belated trains on the Santa
Fe this week was due.to a burned
bridge between Sealy and Bellville,
w hich caused trains to go by way of
the Central to Giddings from Bren-
ham, and thence by way of the San
Antonio and Aransas Pass and
the Katy, back to their own line at
Sealy, making a run out of the way
of more than a hundred miles.
Farmers now are too busy to hard-
ly talk. Everywhere they are at
work in their crops, which are in
better condition and the outlook
better than it has been for the past
six years. In the storm districts
replanting has about been complet-
ed and the season warrants a crop
still in those sections, although not
as large as was first expected.
It would seem from the amount of
slush served up to the people by the
Waterworks Co. for water during
the past week, that there’s some-
thing dead up the creek. The water
has been too filthy almost for stock
to drink. We trust this kind of
water will soon cease to flow and
that the company will soon restore
to us its oldtime quality of Adam’s
ale.
The band stand in the park will
be completed in the near future.
Messrs. Bass and Smith, two of
Temple’s hustling business men,
went around with the list and in a
very little time procured a sufficient
sum to build e neat and attractive
staud, and now we will enjoy the
evening concerts of the McDowell
band, proud of the fact that the
city’s people have encouraged them
with this convenient and cool
place for their music.
The Bicycle Club has assumed
proportions that bid fair to eclipse
those of larger cities. The Club al-
though a few days old has twenty
six with a prospect of a much larger
membership in the near future.
W hen a little more thoroughly
organized, we will expect to hear
of centurv runs, and record smash
ers. Keep it up and make the club
boom. Nothing like amusements to
hustle up and give a town an enter-
prising name.
The acquittal of Buck Damron
last week, who was arrested under
the Butcher Ordinance, was expect-
ed. Damron was charged with sell- '
ing meat within restricted districts
of the city, that belong to the
Market House Patronage. That
the Butcher Ordinance cannot con-
trol business outside of the city
limits is beyond question, and it is
equally as unreasonable to think
that the city can prohibit the intro-
duction of anything wholesome into-
the city that was Durchased outside
of it.

Last Monday at 8 p. m., Mr6.
Neil, wife of Robt. Neil, died at her
homo three miles south of town.
She had been an invalid for some
time. Mrs. Neil is related to anum-
ber of the best families in the city,
and it is with deep regret that we
chronicle her death. The funeral
occurred Tuesday morning and she
was laid to rest in Keller Grove
cemetery. The Times extends its
sympathy to the family in their se-
vere sorrow.
Married.
Mr. T. C. Cahill and Miss Della
Gilliam were married Wednesday
morning of this week at the resi-
dence of the bride’s parents. Mr.
and Mrs. M. H. Gilliam of this city.
The weddiug was a quiet home
affair, no one but the families and
relatives attending. Rev. Bush
performed the ceremony. The
young couple departed for Galves-
ton and other points, where they
will spend several days visiting
relatives and friends. The bride is
one of Temple’s most popular young
ladies. The groom is the principal
of the Rogers school Their happy
union will be greeted with many
good wishes by numerous lriends.
not only in Temple, but elsewhere.
The Times joins m the friendly greet-
ing and hopes they may have a pleas-
ant and prosperous voyage over life's
sea.
