Meridian is O. K.
The reunion was a grand suc-
cess. -
Opposition has but little effect
on Meridian.
Meridian people should be
ashamed of themselves if they
are ever caught trading in Clif-
ton.

The largest crowd ever assem-
bled in Bosque county attended
the reunion yesterday. A careful
estimate was about seven or
eight thousand.
Three decorated floats, with
double teams, came up from
Clifton yesterday and offered to
take people to the Clifton picnic
fre3 of charge, but "nary" a
passenger did they get.
The old Veterans have been
royally entertained, and all re-
port a most pleasant time. We
will expect you all back with us
again next year.
All honor to the old Contede
rate. His locks are turning gray,
and his steps are becoming slow
and feeble. Age is coming upon
him, and he can remain with us
only a short time longer. But
while he is here let us scatter sun-
shine and roses along his path,
and in a measure show our appre
ciation of him and his past. May
his declining days rest upon him
lightly.
The Meridian Baptist Associa-
tion met in its seventeenth an-

ton, of Mogran. Treasurer for the

spiritual and profitable session of
this body in its history. The
preaching and discussions were of
exceedingly high order, and there
wss not a negative vote cast du-
ring the session. The next an-
nual meeting will be held at Kop-
perl, beginning on Thursday, at
11 a. m., before the First Sunday

The California Consolidated
Petroleum Company has adopted
the policy of redeeming, on de-
mand, any of its treasury stock
that may be offered for redemption
at any time within thirty days
from date of, certificate, paying
back every cent of the purchase
price, of 50 cents per share, and
will also refund on demand, at
any time within thirty days from
date of first payment, all money
received on installment purchases.
The object of this policy is to
give the investor ample time for
investigation and time in which
to reconsider his investment, and
further to protect his stock, as
well as the stock of the Company,
against depreciation at the hands
of mercenary speculators.
If, after studying the prospec-
tus, you wish to invest, you may
remit direct to the Company, with
the mutual understanding that
your money will be returned, on
demand, in accordance with the
Company's pledge of redemption
It is realized that there are some
who cannot conveniently satisfy
themselves as to the standing of
the Company and who would not
without this information, feel sure
that the Company's pledge of re-
demption would be kept it return
of money were demanded. Sup
posing you to be one of the num-
ber, the Company has arranged
with the Los Angeles National
Bank to receive and hold your
money in trust for thirty days,
subject to your order within that
time.
According to this arrangement
you may write the Company
ordering the number of shares
you want, and instead of sending
the money to the Company send
it to the Bank. On receipt of
your order and a notice from the
Bank that the money is there, a
certificate for the shares ordered
will be mailed you by registered
letter, at once. By registering
the letter the Company will know
that you have received the certifi-
cate. Send draft or money order,
making same payable to the Cali-
fornia Consolidated Petroleum
Company. The following is a
suggestive form of instruction
to the Bank:

Cashier Los Angeles National Bank,
Los Angeles, Cal.
I have this day ordered the Califor-
nia Consolidated Petroleum Co. to forward
to me certificate for Shares of
its Capital Stock, and herewith enclose
draft payable to said Company for$
in full payment of same. Hold draft for
thirty days from this date, and if I do not
return to you said certificate within that
time, you are hereby instructed .to turn
over to said Company, said draft.
These instructions cover the
case in a way fair to yourself, fair
to the Company and fair to the
Bank. If you do not use form
suggested, make your instructions
clear and simple, else Bank will
return your money and refuse to
act in the matter, for it must pro-
tect itself, as well as you and the
Company.
All you have to do to get your
money back is to return your cer-
tificate to the Los Angeles Na-
tional Bank within thirty days
from date, and it will be honored
by the Bank the same as a check.
Referring to the Officers and
Directors of the California Consol-
idated Petroleum Company the
Los Angeles Times, in a kindly
notice of the Company says on
its editorial page June 21:
"These are all men of standing
and responsibility in the commun-
ity." Of the redemption policy
of the Company the Times in the
same article says:
"This is an exceptional guaran-
tee, not usually made by oil com-
panies, ^nd, as learned, is now
being fiulfilled by this Company."

To the Sheriff or any Constable of
Bosque County, Greeting:
Fou are Hereby Commanded to
Summon the Unknown Heirs of
Mary Cole by making publication
of this Citation once in each week
for eight successive weeks previous
to the return day hereof, in some
newspaper published in your
County, to appear at the next
regular term of the District Court
of Bosque county, to be holden at
the Court House thereof in Meri-
dian in said county, on the third
Monday in August, A. D. iqoo,
the same being the 20th day of
August, 1900, and there to ans-
wer a petition filed in said Court
on the 29th day of June, A. D.
1900 in a suit numbered on the
docket of said court No. 2486,
wherein J. C. Tittle is Plaintiff,
and the Unknown Heirs of Mary
Cole are Defendants, and said
petition alleging that plaintiff re-
sides in Bosque connty, Texas,
and that the names and residences
of defendants are unknown to
him, that plaintiff is the owner in
fee simple of four hundred and
sixty-four acres of land more or
less out of the southeast corner of
the Mary Cole league'on the west
bank of the Brazos River in Bos
que county, Texas, described by
metes and bounds in plaintiff's
petition and is in peaceable pos-
session of the same, that said
property was originally granted to
said Mary Cole and that plaintiff
has a good and sufficient title to
the same in fee simple from and
under said Mary Cole, and also by
virtue of the statutes of limitation
of five and ten years, but that the
deed by which said Mary Cole
conveyed said premises to plaintiff
remote vendor, W. C. Wilson, is
not of record in Bosque county
and cannot be by plaintiff placed
upon record, because of the loss
of said deed, and the destruction
of the records of Milam county in
which said deed was originally
recorded, that by reason of such
defect in the record of Plaintiff's
title to said premises, and the loss
of said deed, defendants are claim-
ing as plaintiff is informed and
believes lhat title to said premises
by descent has accrued to them as
such heirs of Mary Cole and also
are setting up some claim to said
premises the exact nature of
which is unknown to plaintiff and
that by reason of said incomplete
and defective record and of de-
fendants said claims a cloud is cast
upon plaintiff's title to said prem-
ises, and his posession of same is
threatened, and the value of the
same has been greatly diminish-
ed to-wit in the sum of $1,000.00.
Wherefore plaintiff prays judg-
ment against said defendants
quieting him in his title and pos-
session to said premises and re-
moving all cloud from his said
title and divesting out of said de-
fendants any title or claim of them
or either of them to said premises
and vesting the same in plaintiff
and for general and speeial relief.
Herein fail not, but have
you before said Court, at its afore-
said next regular term this writ,
with your return thereon, showing
how you have executed same.

During the past thirty-three years we gold thousands
of Pianos and Organs in Texas and always treated our
patrons justly. The reputation we have earned for selling
good instruments, and at fair prices, we cannot afford to
risk now, by selling those of inferior grade or taking ad-
vantage of buyers in any way.
The moral of this is, why should you take chances when you intend buy-
ing a Piano or Organ? You will secure a good instrument with full value
for your money and absolute security against imposition by buying from
our house.
We carry everything in the music line and the largest stock of Music in the
South. We refer to any Bank in Texas. Send for price list.
