the first check for his cotton from President Roosevelt personally.

will have a salutary effect on
the future burglaries of this
section and the Brownwood
section.
County Attorney Curtis Hill,
was busy all Tuesday taking
statements of the prisoners
and their wives, and Sheriff
Seago and Deputy Hill were
busy trying to locate the part
of the loot stolen from Gil-
mer, and think they will be
successful. They already know
where to find the gun stolen
from Judge Morris’ residence,
that belonged to the late Willie
bracelets, chains, watches,
etc., but none of these things
were identified as having been
stolen during the raids in Gil-
mer, but will . probably be
identified as having been
stolen elsewhere.
It was a fine piece of detec-
tive work by Deputy Sheriff
Rackley in tracing these
burglaries, and rounding up all
those connected with it in this
section and notifying th offi-
cers in Brownwood, so that the

All the merchants and busi-

Then when you have had
your fill of the Fair itself—and
it would be impossible to
enumerate the unlimited at-
tractions, both educational and
frivolous—save some time and
nergy to see part of the other
things Chicago offers you. One
of the most interesting would
be a trip to the Field "Museum
of Natural History. It is lo-
cated near the entrance to the
Fair and you can easily spend
a day there. It has become
world-famous for its collection
of antiquities from Egypt and
the Orient, its life-like displays
of wild animal life from huge
African elephants to the
tiniest forms of life. There is a
cafeteria in the basement so
you need not leave the build-
ing for lunch. Nearby is the
acquarium with its multitude
of live fishes of every possible
kind and a visit there would
' also be worth your time. If you
perfer water trips you can
make them on motor boats.
The stranger to .Chicago,
. visiting that city today, will
find many, many interesting
scenes and trips to crowd into
his stay there, no matter whe th
er his. visit is of a few days or
several weeks. Especially is
this so of the person who has
never been in the Windy City
before.
Right now A Century of
Progress, better known as the,
World’s Fair, is necessarily the
chief impelling motive of those
visiting Chicago but let us tell
you here that it by no means
the only thing to see if you go
to Chicago. Of course you must
see the fair, because it has so
many new things of interest to
anyone. But do not build your
hopes too high on the Fair it-
self lest you be disappointed.
Long before your visit, you
will have seen' panoramic views
of the grounds, motion pictures
of the individual exhibits and
buildings, so that much of the
surprise element is missing and
the edge of expectancy is not
as sharp as it would otherwise
be. In fact, we heard some
cynically remark that it is ten
per cent fair and ninety per
cent ballyhoo. But don’t let
that deter you.

Dr. T. S. Ragland and his son
Dr. Madison S. Ragland, last
week purchased a lot on Buffalo
street across from the Bell
Hotel, from Mr. R. C. Barnwell
for the purpose of building a
new Clinic and Sanitarium.
The house was not sold but
was to be torn down and mov-
eef away, and work would start
on the new structure in about
a week. However, the house
was destroyed by fire early
Monday morning, so plans to
clean off the lot and start the
new building may be delayed
somewhat.
Drs. Ragland plan to build a
modern’two story brick-veneer
building to house their offices,
labratories, and to serve as a
clinic and Sanitarium.
