ASSUMING SHAPE.
Opposition to the City Charter
Crystallizing.
The first meeting of suburbans who
are opposed to the adoption of the city
charter took place at the little new
school house on Franklin street on
Saturday night with quite a large
number of people present. Mr Tom
Killingsworth was elected chairman.
A number of gentlemen bitterly op-
posed to the charter made speeches
amongst whom tho most radical were
Cupt. 91. D. Herring and Mr. Jas.
I. Moore. The first of the objection
seemed to be that tho charter was a
plan of property holders inside of the
city to get their property improved at
tho expense of others and tho charter
tho laws which mado it passiblo camo
in for sharp handling without gloves.
Mr. J. W. Iliggins took tho opposite
view arguing tho matter ably and
forcibly. The sonso of tho meeting
however seemed to be almost unani-
mous against tho charter and organiza
tion was begun and carped out almost
mem con icr the purpose of making a
strong fight against it beforotho legis-
lature. A committee was appointed
ono for north south cast aud west
Waco to canvass tho suburbans and se
cure signatures to a nctition to tho leer
islaturc asking that body to refuse as-
sont to tho new charter. It js intended
that tho petition shall bo a monster
ono and such that the committee may
each bo able to swear before a notary
public that tho names signed to the
petition for which ho solicits aro tho
names of bona fide citizens and tho
signatures their own. The following
was tbo appointed: for north Waco
Mr. J. A. Ziik; South Waco Mr. Jas.
Moore; West Waco Mr. Van Hall
and East Waco Mr. J. K. Hose. The
eommittco will not only canvass for
names to tno potition but will also so-
licit subscriptions in money for the
creation of a fund to defray the ex-
penses of this hot fight which it is in
tended to make against the charter at
Austin. Mr. Tom Brown was ap-
pointed treasurer of tho association.
My store will be open every night

ning to-day the first time in a month
that both have been running at the
satno time.
Tho ehnnres to tho firnmnn'n hull
aro very low and only tho supplies
eaten will be obarged for. There
should be a crush there a jam.
Jim tho Penman was promised last

On Thursday night last Mr. J. W.
Riggins had a good horse stolen sinco
which nothing has been heard of tho
animal. It is tho first timo that an
advertisement has failed in the News
since its beginning and tho only one
and it is wholly unaccountable. We
shall bo obliged to deny either tho ex-
istence of Mr. Riggin or the horse or
else to assent that tho horse is at
home hid away somewhere.
A vory curious and sadden squall
came up on Saturday whioh rattled

cornice work on the tower of the new
city hall on tho third story of samo
was unsupported by briok work and
was blown and twisted badly on three
sides with considerable damage.
The grocery stores now offer sugar
cane to the sweet tooth of children.
It is the true Louisiana cane raised
in the Brazos VAlly a few miles above

ness of growth as to provoke the en-
quiry why tho true Louisiana cane
cannot be cultivated to a good sugar
crop lu this latitude. j
One of the prettiest things to bo
