l'nder Ils Provisions \11 Tousorial
Artists Must Have Certificates
The new law regulating the prac-
tice of barbers in the state known
as the "barber's license law." be-
came effective Thursday night with
other general laws passed by the
thirtieth legislature but as far as
can be learned no special attention
is being given the matter by the
tonsorial artists of Waxahachie.
The law provides that a board of
examiners consisting of three prac-
tical barbers shall be created the
appointments to be made by the gov-
ernor and that it shall be the duty
of this board to hold examinations
throughout various portions of the
state quarterly. The law requires
that all barbers imist have a certifi-
cate showing that the holder there-
of is entitled to practice the occupa-
tion of a barber. Applications for
this certificate must be made to the
board of examiners and such replica-
tion shall be accompanied by a fee
of $2. These certificates under the
terms of the law must he posted in
a conspicuous place so that each
customer entering the shop can ob-
serve them if they so desire.
Besides conducting quarterly ex-
aminations it is the further duty of
the board to inspect all shops close-
ly and see that the sanitary condi-
tions prevail. Where it is found that
a contagious disease has originated
in a shop tin· board will notify the
city health officer who shall after
an investigation order tin· said shop
quarantined. Violation of this law
is punishable b> a fine of not h--s
than $ 1 <· nor more than $Κ·ιι
The governor thus far has made
no appointments on the board. Im'
it is presumed that lie will selci t the
Members of tin· board at m · t'ly
date.

said ι lie officers have a good clew to
work on and have hope ot bringing
the perpretrator of the outrage to
justice. This is the second act of this
kind committed against Mr. and
Mrs. Montgomery. They are quiet
inoffensive old people and it is hare
to understand how anybodj can har-
bor such malice against such people
as these.—Ennis News.

1 lirai Sorrow Is Now Found When·
Oim (Jayety Itoiffnod.
i The passing year no more doth
! charm the lucky man. Bits of finely
lithographed pasteboard are now as
j ashes of hope in the hands of the
ι holders. Whirling scenes viewed
! from car windows now resemble the
! roll of the almighty dollar and the
! delights of contemplation have been
robbed of the incense says the Fori
I Worth Star.
The down has been brushed fron
the butterfly wing. The aroma of im
portance has been whiffed to olhe
parts and the ecstacy of exaggeratcc
ego has been flattened like unto n
cockroach under a No. 10 boot.
When the watchman of the night
gave forth his cry at the moment
of the birth of this day he did not
[append the sweet sounding "All's
I well." For truly there are heard
abroad in this land today lamenta-
tions ns loud as were uttered when
Job was upon the earth in commun-
ion with the angels.
"Father what makes that man
look so sorrowful !" asked the little
boy pointing to a gentleman of such
erstwhile portly appearance that he
wore the appellation "Prominent
Citizen" with as much grace as a
debutante wears a well-made rat to
puff-puff the front and back sections
of iter hair.
"The passing year" responded
the father.
Power no longer carries with it
prestige except in restricted areas.
Importance is no longer pampered
by pasteboard practices. The man
» ith tiie good pass who is -till

Not Necessary (ο (jo Oui of Texas
to koiance Kailroail Projects
Il is conservatively estimated
that there are more than $."00000-
000 in < ash on deposit in the nation-
slate and private banks of Texas.
Most of this money is seeking in-
vestment. ii is proposed that a por-]
tion of it shall tie used for the con-
st ruction of new railroads \n this
state. The plan is being tried in two
sections of Texas. In the Panbadle
region a railroad called the Pan-
handle Short Line is being built
from Hereford (o San Angelo 450
miles.
The promoters of this enterprise
instead of attempting to finance the
road in New York or other money
centres went among the people of
the section through which the road
is to pass. It is announced that they
have already sold bonds to local citi-
zens sufficient to pay for building a
good part of the line. Confidence is
expressed that the remainder of the
bond necessary to build all of the
road will be sold to Texas people.
In the northeastern part of Texas
a similar project is on foot. A corpor-
ation which is called the People's
Railroad company has been organiz-
ed for the purpose of building a
railroad from Tyler Texas to Can-
ton. a distance of thirty-five miles.
Tin people of Smith and Van Zandt
counties through which the road
will pass have raised $1.in000 in
cash by means of personal subscrip-
tion for use in building the road. In
ι hi: instance no bonds will be issued.
Each suliM-ribei to the building fund
is given capital stock in the com-
pany according to the amount of his
subscription.
in addition to these two projects
the State "1 Ί ■ \a - it -elf is building
a railroad thirty five miles long to
conned the state penitentiary at
litisU with the International and
(Jicat Northern railroad at Pales-
