CONTRACT LET -YESTERDAY FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT AUSTIN COLLEGE
ELLIOTT & WALL, OF SHERMAN WILL ADD TO THE MAIN BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS TO <X»ST ABOUT THIRTY THOUSAND ^X>L-
LAHH—WORK IS TO 1IECOMMENCED AT ONCE.
For the last several weeks the
board of trustees of Austin Col-
lege and officials of that institution
who have had special charge of the
matter of closing the contract for
improvements to he made, have been
busily engaged in discussing details
with architects and contractors. Fi-
nally yesterday afternoon late the
contract was signed and the work
will begin at once, or possibly liex*
week or within ten days.
Wall * Elliott, contractors of this
city, were the successful, bidders.
The price of the Improvements is
approximately $30,01)0 and the work
is to he completed by December 1st.
It is a remodeling and addition to
the administration building, whereby
sixteen rooms will be practically
added and the appearance of the
'building so greatly changed that
it seems an entirely new structure.
The addition will make the building
about double the present size.
In 1876 the first college building
was erected for Austin College. The
west wing was added in 1890 and
In 1895 the east wing was con-
structed thus leaving the adminis-
tration building as it is today. In
1912 during the presidency of I)i.
T. S. Clyoe the college is to receive
advanced boosts—For the past
several years the college has been
constantly increasing in utteudance,
and these years have not been con-
sidered as altogether prosperous in
this country. So now witli all the
prospects bright the directors or
this great school for boys ami young
men have seen wise_ to. enlarge
their plant 1o make it meet the needs
of the present time and accommo-
date the patronage in the very best
manner.
By tlte addition the building will
he made much more convenient, as
well as it will be made so that all
the space will he used in a practical
and useful manner. The office of
the president or the general offices
will be made to occupy the south-
east corner of the first floor of the
building. The stairways will he cut
out of the big hall running north
and south at present. A hall will
be built to run through the building
east and west, whereas at preset)
there is no passage in that direc-
tion. The two side halls will not |
tiave as prominent positions as in
the old 'building hut will join onto
the main passages at convenlen.
places. The auditorium will be
materially enlarged and will have a
capacity of from 800 to 1000, in-
clusive of a,gallery. It will be fur-
nished with opera chairs. The
ceiling will be raised and will he
about 30 feet high.
The four large stone entrances,
one from each direction as entering
the main halls, will be features to
add much to the appearance
Dr. T. S. Clyce has been presi-
dent of Austin College since 1900
•and the Institution has prospered
greatly during his adiuinistration. In
190 8 Duckett Hall dormitory, a
concrete building, was built at a
cost of $65,000 and the Y. M. C. A.
building oil the college campuB lR
Just completed at a cost of $25,000
and Is of duplicate construction.
These buildings furnish accommoda-
tions for no small number of men
and t.he college will get along with
them this year together with ar-
rangements that have been made for
rooms. But it 1=. a plan to erect
another dormitory building within
a short time. Up to the time of
the building of Duckett Hall the
only dormitories for the college
were three small one-story frame
buildings. •
The College is a pioneer in Textu
education. Rev. Samuel McKinney,
D. D., was president from 1850-
j853. Other presidents have been:
Drs. Daniel Baker, A. E. Thom, H.
W. Bailey, Samuel McKinney, re-
elected; S. M. Luckett, H. B. Boude,
W. D. Vinson, E. P. Palmer, Don-
ald McGregor, S. Mi Luckett,, re-
elected; and T. R. Sampson.
Jerry Wall and Chas. Elliott, who
are the successful bidders, are Sher-
manites. Thus the money for the
Improvements will not go Into for-
eign circulation. j
A large dome will be built on top
of the revised building and the
building will be practically square
in form, three-story and built of
'brick to match the part of the old
building now standing. The old
building was substantially construct-
ed and no signs of decay are to be
found.
Paint Now
if your property needs it; don't
wait for the price to come down.
There are two parts of a job;
the paint and the work; the work
is more than the paint; and it never
comes-down.
The cost of paint Is about two-
fifths; the work three-fifths.
Paint is up $5 an average job,
and won’t come-down In a hurry;
too-many Jobs put-off.
Men are waiting for $2 or $3;
they don't know it; they think they
are waiting for $20 or $25.
Why don't men use their heads?

LET’S KEEP THE RECORD
STRAIGHT.
Texarkana, Tex., July 12.—A
movement has 'been inaugurated
here looking to the building of an
interurban line between Texarkana
and Clarksville to connect at the lat-
ter place with the line being pro-
ship shape and j jected between Clarksville and
Sherman.
At a conference of prominent
business men last night it was
agreed to have an attorney draw up
a charter for the line, so far as it
affects territory inside the corpor-
ate limits of Texarkana and present
the same at the next meeting of the
city council. The work of securing
right of way between here and
Clarksville will then be pushed.
It is estimated that the total to
build and equip the line to Clarks-
ville would be about $750,000 and
those who have looked into its
possibilities agree that it would
prove a paying, investiment.

Notice to Place Official Numbers, on
Houses.
Ordinance No. 608 requires all
persons to place an official street
number on their houses. The street
number may 'be obtained from the
city engineer. I was instructed by
the city council to enforce the pro-
visions of said ordinance against all
persons who fail to have said street
number placed on their houses by
July 12th, 1912.
I respectfully ask that ail persons
who have not re-numbered their
house with the official number to
do so at once and thereby comply
with the law of the city of Sherman
Texas.

Queen bees will ordinarily live and
preside over the colony for four or
five years before being naturally su-
perseded, but like a hen they are
much more prolific layers during their
first two years. For this reason, and
also to Improve your stock, this la a
good time of the year to requeen your
apiary. Remove the old queen and
the bees will at once proceed
to repair the loss by con-
structing queen cells for the pro-
duction of a young one to take her
place, writes I. F. Tilllnghast in the
Country Gentleman. So if you are
satisfied with the stock nothing more
is necessary, for In about twelve days
from the removal of the old queen a
young one will hatch. In such cases
from two to twenty cells will be
formed, and if your old queen is of
choice breeding stock, remove her to
some other colony, and on the tenth
day after cut out carefully all except
one or two cells, and give them to
your other colonies at the time that
you destroy their queens. In a day
or two these cells will hatch and any
colony will accept a newly hatched
virgin.
At some times of the year It is dif-
ficult to Introduce an old queen to a
strange colony without leaving her
caged among them for several days,
but I have no trouble In removing a
queen and introducing another at the
same operation at this time of year,
while the honey flow la on, without
caging or loss of time, by sprinkling
her freely with a mixture of flour and
confectioner's sugar, and running her
in before their loss Is known. Under
these conditions the bees usually ac-
cept her at once.

It Is realty Vbry interesting to see
how women are Influenced by cir-

heroic about them. Yet I believe that
in every woman’s breast there Mbs the
possibility ol* gphat heroism; What she
can do when put to the test Is amply
illustrated by the eventsVof history.

It waa necessary for this wretched
