More People Coming to Rusk.
In conversation with F. M.
Priest one day this week he stat-
ed that he had recently closed a
couple more deals for Cherokee
county real estate and one of the
sales would bring to us a new
family. This is good news for
we have lots of room here
for many families and the more
we get the more our country will
be developed. He also stated
that he had several more deals
pending and activities in real es-
tate showed the trend of the
times.
Cotton and other crops have j ujate building operations, which
been making good showings and j means labor for the carpenters
Cherokee county lands are in de- and others an(j iumber sales for
Provides More Building Sites.
A new addition to the City of
Rusk has been platted by Mr. F.
M. Priest and lots are now ready
for sale to those who desire to
build. The new addition will be
known as College Addition and
is located between Crockett street
and the College. There is at
present a road 40-feet wide there
and this is to be widened to 60-
feet and graded up nicely and
bridged at the east where cross-
ing the streams.
This street will touch land be-
longing to Frank Sherman, Hen
F. Pryor, P. B. Musslewhite, T.
M Kirkland, and Rusk College
and they have given the necessa-
ry additional land to make a
street of desired width. Appli-
cation will be made to the town
to extend the water mains along
' ne street to provide t,ho.-,e who
will soon be building on this ad-
dition.
About t lirty lots will be laid
out now, dimensions being 75x
150 feet, and it is understood
that Mr. Sherman and others
contemplate the erection of a
number of new residences as soon
as it can be done. This will be
good news to a number of fami-
lies who desire to come to Rusk
and take advantage of the Col-
lege facilities as this location will
make them highly desirable. It
would seem that the demand
should very soon exhaust this
quota of lots and make plotting
of others a necessity.
We want to compliment Mr.
Priest for this work. He has
been at work for over a year on
that proposition and its success-
ful culmination will be but a re-
sult of his untiring efforts; it will
inure to his pecuniary benefit
doubtiess, but the benefits to
come to Rusk are far more valu-
able than any he will be able to
acquire. Building places in Rusk
are not to be gotten very often
at the price at which he is offer-
ing these lots and it should stim

A great number of patrons of

sending their children to a kinder-1 ^r- ^

no child could come to school this
year unless it would be seven (7)
years old during the rchool which

houses over there will mean
many new families who will pat-

The Cherokeean Editor and his:
wife spent a couple of weeks at begins September the 1st.
Mineral Wells last month, going
away on the 11th and returning
on the 26th in time to cast two
perfectly good ballots. We had
a fairly good time in the quest for
health and drank enough mineral
water (so it seemed to us) to hide
a submarine. Whether those peo-
ple up there goon the theory that
one can drown their troubles we
do not know but they urge heavy
and continuous drinking of their
No's. 1, 2, 3, and 4. Had our
aches been floatable they would
certainly have been gone by this
time, we feel certain. We met a
number of Rusk people up there:
Mrs. Laura Guinn and her family;
John B. Long and Miss Emma
Long, (They were looking in excel-
lent health;) W. R. Stevens and
wife, Mr. Stevens is superintend-
ent of the light and ice plant and
guided us thru the same; and Mrs.
J. B. Posey and daughter. We
also met Prof, and Mrs. C. P.
Mosley and children who were
driving thru in their car to make
a visit of a couple of weeks with
Mr. Mosley's people at Winters.

Now, if there are enough of
patrons to make up a class of
something like 25 to 30 we could
get a good teacher. Notify me
at once everybody that would
like to send to a kindergarten, so
that I may arrange for the teach-
er.
I will say that the general price
per month is about $3.00. Now
it may be more or it might be
less, all depending on the size of
class and teacher.
