The weather is cool and pleasant.
in business circles more activity
is noticeable but is due mainly to
the receipts and shipments of cot-
ton.
This city is needing rain badly
to “pack” the sand. In the out-
laying streets it is so dry and deep
that it is “killing” on teams.

Nineteenth street and Avenue 11.
Bishop W. li. Horn of Cleveland

The Santa Fe M. K. A T.and the
11. A T. C. railroads have flooded
this city with dodgers announcing
$5 round-trip rates to the Dallas

The U. B. of carpenters and join-
ers inform our citizens that on Sun-

The Texas Star Social club in-

Dec. 30 and promise it will be a
grand affair.
The bridge executive committee

The 13th inst.. a large number of
the members of the order of the
Eastern Star after an adjourned
session in Houston visited this
city. Composing the number were
several from your city.
From Oct. 7th to 13th the follow-
ing amount of stone is reported to

jetty: Riprap 143 cars of 3026 tons;
granite 46 cars of 1210 tons.
Mr. Yoakum and other railroad
otlicials have stated that within
six months this city will have a
new and elegant depot.
The Electric club is rehearsing
for an amateur ministrel perform-
ance to be given in the Tremont
opera house at an early date for
benevolent purposes.
Mr. E. 11. Kohler and Miss Anna
Best daughter of Captain Louis
Bestwere united in marriage Tues-
day last.
The Metropolitan club will give

The benefit tendered Mr. Mason
Thursday night last was a pro-
nounced success. It gave local
celebrities another “whirl” to test
her talents and improve in the
school or experience and Mr. M’s.
bountiful financial returns.
A series of “sparring matches”
was given in one of the down-town
saloons last Saturday night. In-
quiry about the participants in-
forms your “scribe” that they weie
individuals very much on the
hoodlum order from different
cities.
Tomy knowledge there is only
one restaurant in this city without
the front ornamentation of lunch
counters. Dining rooms are esti-
mated of such little consequence
here they are relegated to the rear.
The one I refer to is a plain un-
pretentious one being an annex to
a hotel dining room.
Another list of prices prevailing
in our groceries and markets:
Apples per bushel $2; onions
$1.25 to $1.50; turnips and ruta-
bagas $1.50; California pairs. 40
cents per dozen ; cabbage $1.25 to
$1.50 per dozen heads; celery 60
cents per bunch; cranberries 10
cents per quart; fish 10 cents per
pound ; oysters 50 cents to 75 cents
per 100; shrimp 75 cents to $1.25
per buck. Wild game is becoming
more plentiful but that doesn’t
signify it will be any cheaper hen*.
The idea of tish being 10 cents per
pound here but it is a fact. The
proprietors of a large and prosper-
ous restaurant here have to buy
their butter and flour in Houston
and after paying expressage and
freight save money by so doing.
Those are facts.
I actually feel a delicacy in giv-
ing the fruit-stand prices; they
are so ridiculously high. Why the
people here will submit to such
wholesale robbery I cannot under-
stand. The only possible reason
seems to be that a majority of the
people have never been or lived in
other parts of this commonwealth
and are ignorant of the imposi-
tions. As the present state of
affairs are considering house rent
and living expenses this certainly
is rfo place for salaried men or
common laborers with families
who expect plenty to eat and Wear.
