Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
there gathered a goodly number of
women and men In tiie Commercial
Club rooms to disci'st> tho question

Chas. Schott Makes Valuable Sjgges
tion as to Beautifying the
Plaza.
I learn through the press thai,
there Is a plan on foot to beautify the
court house grounds, as a public park.
No doubt the band will render its
concerts this coming summer nights,
which will be entertaining to the old-
er people, tut what about the littlo
children? They should airo have
their amusements.
1 would suggest in adding another
thing, in the way of swings, sec-saws,
ladders, which can be cllmlbed by the
boys, a double row of large iron rings
attached to ropes, a sliding shoot and
numerous other muscular exerclscs
which is essential to tho growing
child, and which will save many a
doctor's Mil Should this be accom-
plished -which could bs done at a
nominal aost, I will lend my time and
experience in the evenings and <teacn
these exercises.
C. O. Schott.
Mrs. Nat Tone- who shot nnu killed
hor husband at their home la San
Antonio on November 12, last, was
tried before a jurv cn a charge (l"
murder and acquitted at San Antonio.
It was shown by tiie testimony tha t
the deceased was In the habit of beat-
ing his wife while on periodical
drunks, and that he was chastising
her when she killed him. He struck
her one tltme. too often.
Jones, who was rated one of the
brightest criminal lawyers In Texas
gained Sonne notoriety here a couple
of y oars ago bv reason cf his con-
nection with the trial of Phil E. Ta-
bor, the Cotton Belt train robber who
robbed an express car on that line
near Red Water, after first braining
the messenger aid hurling him from
th side door of the express car while
the train was making thirty milts an
hour.
After the robbery Tabor got away
with the swag, amounting to about
$10,000 in cash, but was arrested a
short, yhlle later at San Antonio. He
employed Jones to defend himg and
sent the lawyer with a note to his
hoomlng house for two grips. These
grips t s thought, contained the
greater porton of the stolen money.
Tabor is now serving a life -sen-
tence in the Texas penitentiaary. Just
how much of the money Jones got
will perhaps never be known.
It is believed that the express com-
pany finally compromised with hiim
and sot a part of the money back af-
ter Tabor had been sent up but
no official statement to this effect
has ever been given ou.
Jones' wasted life ami his tragic
end are but another forceful demon-
stration of the truth of the Biblical
statement that "the wages of sin is
Jeath."—Texarkana Courier.

T SQUARE
TO BE BEAUTIFIED
GROUNDS SURROUNDING TYLER'S
NEW COURT HOUSE WILL BE
MADE INTO A PARK.
For many years the people of Tylor
have earnestly desired a park, and
one located1 close in that could he con-
venleiuty reached. So it is good to
know that at last we are to have our
wish gratified.
With tho exception, of a stilp of
ground' on the east and, and a strip
on the west end of the public square
the entire court house grounds are to
bo mud over into a park. It it ad-
mitted b home people an>d .by visitors
that our new coui t house Is tiie hand-
soonest in Texas. Liut 110 building
however beautiful will show to its
host advantage unless it joins the
proper surroundings. Smith county's
new temple of justice is t.c have the
1 roper surround hugs. For a distance
of about one hulndired and live feet
in each direction from the court
house the grounds will be parked,
ami native Texas grasses, trees, and
plants will be used to make Court
Square what it should ibe. Rustic
benches and seats will be scattered
through the giouuds, and here and
there it Is to he hoped will arise soma
day monuments to Tyler's famous cit-
izens, men '.ike J ames S. Hogg, Oran
M. Roberts, Richard Lt. Hubbard and
others.
From a sanitary standpoint tht
court house grounds should! he chang-
ed from their present use, and it is
gratifying to know that the people
living out in the country heartily ap-
prove the Idea of creating a park, as
do the vast majority of the people liv-
ing in Tyler. As a matter of sanita-
tion, convenience, anidi leeneatlon tho
court square «hould be improved. And
a beautiful central park will addi to
the looks andi the fame of the town
and county. Instead of the park hurt-
ing business It will help business.
This is the experience of El Paso,
Lut'idn, Beaumont, Cleburne and oth-
er towns who have put a park arou'nd
their oourt houes. Some of the busi-
ness men in those towns objected at
first but now the admit It helped
Iratle instead of hurting.
Oourt Square will be sanitary im-
provement, a good business asset, a
convenient resort for the people, and
it will add to the looks and the pres-
tige of the leading city in Last Tex-
as.

CHIVALROUS, high-minded, impulsivo, generous, courteous, courageous,
loyal, a believer in good fellowship, a lover of home, magnanimous to cut
mies, true to friends, is a reputation that any man may wi ll envy.
No man hotter exemplifies this description than Col. William Camp, whosa
testimonial is given below. His unique figuro and charming personality is well
U nown in tho streets of tho capital city of tho United States. His word is as good
•< his bond. Ills frankness and truthfulness no one lias ever questioned that
knew him.
Read what ho says concerning Peruna.
"/ write to, say that 1 have used Peruna and find It a very1
valuable remedy for coughs or colds and rebuilding of a worn
and tired system, dissipating and eradicating that old tired feel-
ing."—Col. William Camp, 1740 L St., N. VV., Washington, D. C.
MR. CIIAS. BROWN, Rogersvilio,
Tonn., writes: "I fool it my duty
to wrlto you a few words in praise of
your Peruna. I liavo tried many differ-
ent remedies, but havo found that Pe-
na is the greatest tonic on earth, and a
perfect system builder.
"A friend advised mo to tako Porona
for indigestion, and it cured me in a
abort tima. I was very weak and ner-
vous, could sleep but little at night, but
Peruna cured that tired, all-gone fool-
ing, and made me fool like a new manf
so 1 heartily recommend it to all who
are weak and run down. It will giva
now life and energy.
"I oannot speak too highly of Pernnai
and will not forget to recommend it."
