SMITH. Council Meeting. An adjourned meeting of the city council was held Friday night at the council room, all the members being present. Considerable routine business was disposed of. The appointments of J.

M. Johnson, City Treasurer, G. W. Tompkins, City Clerk, Perry Green, Street Commissioner, and R. S.

McCliutic, City Attorney, were confirmed by the council. However, it required the casting vote of the Mavor to decide in the case of J. M. Johnson. The bonds of all the bonded officers of the city were approved.

Two amendments to the city ordinance were passed, one changing the salary of the City Marshal from $35 per month to $30 per month. The other amendment was in regard to licensed vehicles. James Smith voiced the sentiments of many citizens when, he lodged formal complaint in regard to certain nuisances. In this connection the City Marshal was instructed to enforce the the ordinance in regard to the dog tax or the licensing of dogs and from the sentiment expressed by the council, dog owners had better be hunting for tags for their pets. In repaid to oiling the streets, every phase of the question was discussed and work under the direction of the committee on streets and alleys will begin as soon as possible.

A car load of oil has already arrived and the expense of oiling the streets will-be borne partly by the city and partly by private subscriptions. J. A. Mudd and Con Kestner finished up sheep shearing last week. During the season they have sheared a little over 5000 sheep.

Monday, Wadsworth Sons shipped a 3 year old Hereford bull which weighed 1750 pounds to Mackey at Palmyra. Those who saw it pronounce it one of the finest animals ever in tins city. Wads- worth Sons have the repuatalion Green Hides. 08c of breeding an extra fine' lot of 'Corn-. 65c Herefords.

They deserve the good Wheat No. 2 1.05 reputation they have as breeders of! Oats 45c premium winning Herefords. Barger has 45 aeres of wheat which is estimated to yield 20 bushels per acre. The wheat is of the Fults variety. Sparks reports that he has 20 acres of wheat of the so-called hard variety which will probably yield 15 bushels per acre.

The Fults wheat sown in the some neighborhood failed to stand the winter. Charles Elzea is erecting a large silo on his farm near this city which is similar to that which is being erected by the Wadsworth Bros. Mr. Elzea's big silo will be 40 feet high and 20 feet in diameter and is estimated to hold 225 tons of silage. It is to be concrete and tiling with the usual reinforcement of a pair of No.

6 twisted wires between each course of tiles. This tiling of course is hollow and as the courses are put in place the hollow space is filled with concrete and the iron hoops are laid on top of the course in notches in the tiles so that when the structure is completed the walls are solid from bottom to top with a hoop imbeded in the walls every 10 inches of its height. This hoop not only is a reinforcement for the walls but it prevents the walls from spreading when the pressure is put against it in filling the silo with the ensilage. Mr. Elzea considers this class of silo the best on the market and as he will have nothing but the best has decided to use this pattern.

J. Elliott $1.00 John Kendrick 5.00 E. 6. Hallock 1 00 William Hamilton 1.00 R. S.

McCIintic 2.50 John Madden .50 M. C. Hawkins .1.00 James Mudd 1.00 Total $13.00 There is yet need for more money and thatjmoney must come from the common people. The Jgreat trusts and monopolies and the few who desire special legislation are not putting up any money to help Champ Clark, because every body knows that Champ Clark stands for equal and exact justice to all and special privileges to none. The great trusts do not want justice The people do.

Hand your money to help Clark either to J. B. Headrick or to the Democrat and it will be sent to aid in the cause of the common people vs the trusts and monopolies. Those Rcbekahs Again. There is always something doing at Monroe Rebekah Lodge.

A HOT TIME. Rcpubicans In Convention Taft Wins In First Contest -A Dark Horse Probable -But Looks Like Taft. The Republican National Convention was called to order at 12:02 p. in Tuesday by National Chairman Rosewater. For days the Roosevelt and Taft factions have been fighting for supremacy.

The National Committee unseated many Roosevelt delegates and saated contesting Taft delegates until at the opening of the convention Taft had a clear majority of 18. As soon as the convention opened Hadley. the spokesman for Roosevelt, moved that certain Taft delegates be unseated and Roosevelt delegates be seated. Root, Tnft's man, was elected temporary chairman over Mc-Govern, the Roosevelt candidate, by 56 votes. The battle raged fierce.

Both sides are active. Adjournment was taken until 11 a. m. Wednesday. Both sides are claiming victory and it is more than likely that the fight will be fast and furious until Taft or Roosevelt or probably both are put down It looks like our Republican friends will have two tickets in the field.

Exhibit Car. A car exhibiting West Central Texas agricultural products was here the first three days of this week in charge of Col. Rufus Lackland. The exhibit is something wonderful and amazing. It was viewed by hundreds of our citizens and Col.

Lackland and his intelligent and courteous assistants never seemed to grow weary of answering questions and explaining the wonderful resources and possibilities of the great State of Texas. The exhibit was a revelation to many who express astonishment at the range and variety of the agricultural products of the Lone Star State. Frank M. Daulton Dead. Frank M.
