Boog-Scott Will Sail
‘Noah’s Ark’ to bland
(Fort Worth Record).
Stocking up the island of Haiti with
improved breeds of cattle, sheep and
swine is one of the tasks of J. E.
Boog-Scott, former chairman of the
State Livestock Sanitary Commission,
who is attending the Fat Stock Show
Boog-Scott has accepted a position un-
der Dr. George F. Freeman, director
general of the Service Technique,
Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He Will have
charge of the range beef experiment
station.
On March 28 in a Texas owned
steamer, Boog-Scott will ship out a
consignment of animals for Haiti.
Among them is a bunch of four Here-
ford heifers and five bulls bought from
the Willard Hereford farm near Ja-
son, ten bulls from H. H. Jeffries of
I-aredo, a bunch of jacks from Shep-
herd & Sons, Plano; a flock of White
Leghorn* and Rhode Island Reds from
the Texas A. and M. College.
It is noteworthy that Boog-Scott is
forced to go to Oklahoma to get Duroc
boars, none being available in this
area.
For dairy herds five heifers and one
hull of the Holstein type will also com-
prise the "Noah's Ark" that will steam
out of Beaumont for the West Indian
country.
Boog-Scott has made a contract to
manage the range beef experiment
farm until late Fall, he said, in 1900
he visited Haiti and Jamaica. In-
tense Interest is being manifested
there in improved breeds of stock and
the Southwest is being combed for the
best for the stocking scheme.
Notice!
Grocers and Meat Markets
It ha* been repotted to me tliat
certain groceries and markets have
been keeping their places of business
open for trade and making deliveries
after 9 o’clock a. m. on Sundays.
This is a strict violation of the Sun-
day closing law and if the law is not
observed strictly hereafter I shall be
forced to prosecute those offending.

To Users of City Water.
Water at the city lake west of Cole-
man is running low and conservation
is essential. We therefore call upon
uaors of water to be as economical as
possible. With moderate use for do-
mestic purpose* there will be no im-
mediate cause for alarm. See that no
hydrants are left running and that
waste is avoided.

Ha< Mode Thousands of Pictures
in Coleman.
E4, the photographer, cine to
Coleman a total stranger. He came
hen- to do business. To do justness
he had to make himself known and to
continue doing business he had to back
up what he taid with quality merchan-
dise. His first act was to rent a lo-
cation in the Manes building and
e.-ujp it elaborately for the work ho
was i.t ;t to engage ip. He then
went to a local drug store and placed
an initial order for $178,"i worth *of
photographers’ supplies. He linn
covered the town with circulars, plac-
ed an advertisement in the local pa-
per and went to work, and has been
working ever since more than 8 hours
a day to take care of the work that
has piled up. But the rush has not
caused him to quit advertising. . He
continues with the tenacity of a bull
dog. The advertising is backed up
with the very finest class of work and
prices that cannot be duplicated just
any old time. He expects to remain
in Coleman until the demand is sup-
plied, or until every man, woman and
child in the county is afforded an op-
portunity to get a picture that wilt
last, as a permanent record of some
scene or person, Ed’s location in the
Manes building is fully equipped and
he uses the best of material in finish-
ing his pictures. The volume of busi-
ness he secures is responsible for the
prices he quotes. Inspection is in-
vited. He has plenty of room to care
for visitors and will gladly answer
questions. llx.

Fire Damages Interior of Jackson's
Bakery Sunday.
Fire Sunday night about 9:30 o’clock
did considerable damage to the inte-
rior of Jackson's Bakery in the Ma-
sonic building, and quick, effective
work on the part of the fire depart-
ment prevented a disastrous blaze. It
is thought that the fire was the re-
sult of a defective wire coming in con-
tact with wood work in the building.
The total damage to the fixtures
amounted to about $400. The paint-
ed ceiling was marred. The bakery
was out of commission Monili.y and
Tuesday and Mr. Jackson supplied his
trade with bread brought from Brown-
wood. Wednesday morning it was in
operation as usual.
High winds and fires are especially
dangerous during March and April.
