I he people responded nobly t<» the
opportunity. They gate Mr. Moody
a lead of something like 100,000 m-
er Mrs. Irtguson. They denied the
Governor the sole id confidence that
she and her husband requested, and
their denial was sufficiently emphatic
to preclude the possibility of a doubt
as to their intent.
Now there comes this declaration
ol a purpose to postpone this boon
until the middle ol October, anti per-
haps il the Governor makes full use
ol the possibilities ol the “joker"
about suggesting more legislation,

Such gralrf teat ion as there is souse*
from the fart that one object of the
session is the passage of legislation
designed to validate the various taaur*
of road bonds discredited by the Ar-
cher (minty decision l awyers may
differ aa to the power of the legists
tore to accomplish this, but making
the effort is worth while. It proves
the desire of the people of Texas to

Westminster abbey without Its im-
posing twin tower* la hard to conceive,
hot as a matter of fact they did not
form part of the original building,
not being erected until 300 yean after
the monastery had been dissolved. Sir
tliriatopher Wreo. architect of SL
Paula cathedral, commenced them,
and he also designed the central tower
and spire for the abbey, bat they war*
never completed.
At one period It was cu*tomary for
a corporal and nine soldiers to attend
the abbey on Sundays to prevent U>-

minster hall.—London Chronicle.
A town’s success cJejtejtds mainly upon the number of successful jteople
in il, and since material succes.s is usually measured in terms of dollars and
cents, this fealure of local enterprise cannot be overlooked.
Probably many are tired of hearing it preached that saving is the
surest road to financial independence, hut from a community standpoint the
wisdom of this advice cannot be urged too strongly. Unless the idea of
properly investing time and money is accepted, progress will be curtailed.
A bank account, systematically maintained, will prove to be a bridge
over obstacles which now block the way to home ownership or the realisa-
tion of some other aim in life. We can live in comfort, spend wisely and
save at the same time on a modest income. The important thing in saving is
the regularity with which we lay aside a certain amount at stated intervals.
Men and women who follow this practice are a decided asset to Big
Like. They are the real boosters of the town and more should be encour-
aged to follow their example.
