turned to this city and continued

mons came.

New Year's Ball.
An unusually large crowd at-
tended the New Year’s ball at the
Casino hall last Friday night, visi-
tors with friends and relatives in
this city and others who came the
same day being in attendance and
increasing the number. Handsome
evening dresses worn by the ladies
who danced, and conventional
black by the men added dignity,
grace and charm and this, coupled
with the merry-making spirit pre-
valent, proclaimed the event as a
fitting climax to the holiday week.
Preceding the isital number on
the dance program, several musical
selections, and, a reading, “A
Telephone Romance’’ were render-
ed. The usual “Happy New Year’’
greetings followed the advent of
the New Year, and,
year, a reversal of privilege
inaugurated. Baca's Fayetteville
band assisted in the making of a
very enjoyable evening.
news, however, had learned from
several that a stranger bad attempt-
ed to get money on a check, pay-
able at a Galveston bank, and,alter
strolling around a bit, found a man
on the public square, answering the
description given him, and en-
gaged him in conversation.
Giving unsatisfactory replies as
to the time of his arrival, and by
what means of transportation he
was asked to permit an examina-
tion of his grip. When opened by
the sheriff, it was found to contain
a large amount of cutlery, mostly
pocket knives and scissors. The
arrested man then claimed he was
a hardware representative, but the
big sheriff couldn’t be baited iu
this manner, and in consequence,
escorted the new boarder to the
jail.
The request to come to LaGrange
brought J. H. Wessels promptly
who also identified the property,
valued at $113.00. The prisoner,
who gave his name as Ray S. Mar-
vin, and who produced a card
which he claimed to be a union
plumbers,good-standingcard, stated
he was from California. He first
claimed to have arrived by auto
from Smithville, and finally said he
came by rail, but the time of his
arrival did not tally with the re-
gular traiu schedule.
Bad Cold Quickly Broken lip
Mrs. Martha Wilcox, Gowanda,
N. Y., writes: “I first used Cham-
berlain's Cough Remedy about eight
years ago. At that time I had »
hard cold and coughed most of the
time. It proved to be just what I
needed. It broke up the cold in a
few days, and the cough entirely
disappeared. I have told many of
my friends of the good I received
through using this medicine, and
all who have used it speak of it in
the highest terms.” Obtainable
