yourself in the hands of the jeweler as to the quality

T\ S.--I make a specialty of repairing watches,
clocks and jewelry, and refer, with pleasure, to the
many < Itizens of (Gainesville and surrounding country
for whom I hare done repairing for the past thirteen
years as to my ability as a watchmaker and jeweler. I
understand my business and mean what f say. If
your watch does not run well and keep time it is
worthless as a time piece. Bring it to me and I will
guarantee that it will tell you the time of day cor-
rectly. II a watch doesn't run well it's the fault of the
watchmaker, not the watch, and don't you forget that.
Yours for business, William Irick,

Shop Question Is Prob-

sil
ROKENFELD
The moving of the Santa Fe
shops from Gainesville has occa
sioned much talk and the people
have almost taken sides on the
question. Whether or not the
shops will be moved remains to
be seen, but the following tele-
gram sent out from Waco would
lead one to believe that something
is going to happen:
Telegrams have been received
here from authentic sources stat-
ing that the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe Railway Company has
accepted the offer of the citizens
of Cleburne and has authorized
the removal of all the shops and
roundhouses to that point. A
number of Cleburne men here at-
tending federal court had a jubilee
tonight because of the good news
for their town. One of the tele-
grams was from Col. Lucius J.
Polk to S. E. Moss confirmatory
of the dispatches received by
others to the same effect. Fort
Worth, Temple and other points
were rivals for the shops. They
are worth 875.000 a year to a
town.
Of course all Santa Fe trains
will continue to whistle when
coming in town and the doors of
the roundhouse will be kept open,
but "the laige a foice of hands as
usual at this time of year" will
probably wipe engines and tighten
tiues and repair boilers and build
cars at Cleburne.
To Grow Te^th.
A Moscow dentist has solved the
problem of supplying the human mouth
with false teeth which will grow into
the gums as firmly an natural ones. Dr.
Zamensky lias performed several suc-
cessful operations on dogs as well as
human Ik ings. The teeth are made of
gutta percha, jiorcelain or metal, as the
case may be.
At the root of the false tooth holes
are made. Holes are also made upward
into the jaw. The tooth is then placed
in tbe cavity. In a short time a soft,
granulated growth finds its way from
tin- patient's jaw into the holes in the
tooth. This growth gradually hardens
and holds the tooth in position.
It is stated that it does not matter
whether the cavity in which the tooth
is to l>e placed is one from which a nat-
ural tooth has been recently drawn or
whether it has been healed for some
rears. —Moscow Letter.
The wheat crop of North Texas
is practically made and the indi-
cations are for a heavy yield. The
Fort Worth and Denver City rail-
way people say that their best re-
ports come from Wichita Falls
and Vernon. In the territory
tributary to the latter point they
claim there are 350,000 acres of
wheat. The fgeneral expectation
is twenty-five to thirty-five bush
els to the acre, but with only
twenty bushels on an average it
will give 7,000,000 bushels of
wheat to be marketed. It
will require 15.000 cars
to transport this amount, al-
lowing 28,000 pounds to the car.
Hail or severe wind and rain
storms are the only things that
are now feared to interfere with
the success of this crop.

Era Events.
Editor Hesperian:
This last week witnessed the
closing of Prof. Rhen's school and
the three night's exhibition by the
school was the greatest literary-
treat for both old and young ever
witnessed in our town. The first
night was given to Miss Owens
and her I and ot little folks, who
certainly acquitted themselves in
splendid style. Too much credit
can not be given Miss Owens for
the great pains she must have
taken in preparing and equipping
her bright little band of children
for the occasion. Every arrange-
ment worked like clock work.
The program was well arranged
and carried out to the letter. The
names of recitations, songs and
dialogues are too numerous to
mention, but as before stated all
were good. The music for the oc-
casion was furnished by Mrs.
Rhen.wii'e of the professor, on both
piano and organ, and her skill
won for her many words of praise.
The two large school iooms that
are separated by folding doors
and which contain some 3000 feet
ot Hoor space were filled.
The grand success of Miss
Owens was carried home and tbe
next night found both halls filled
to suffocation to hear and see
more of the good things. This
was for the young men of Prof.
Rhen's department, and some fine
dialogues were also on the pro-
gram with both young men and
lady participants. But the main
feature of the evening was the
declamations of the yonng men of
the school for a fiue medal. There
were half a dozen competitors and
Mr. Miles Sullivan of Hardy was
the victor. His declamation was
'•The Boys in Gray." In twenty
minutes time consumed by him he
touched on almost every impor
tant battle and event, and also
almost everj' great character or
general that figured in the war of
the rebellion. Many were the
smiles seen playing over the
wrinkled faces of the few old vet-
erans on the floor. Cheering and
hand slapping werefieely indulg-
ed in by the old fathers ot the war
when their gallantry and patriot
ism were mentioned by the yonng
orator. Other young men also
did well, but Mr. Sullivan merit
ed his reward more on account of
his splendid rendition and perfect
gesticulation than npon the merit
of his selection, \nother brilliant
feature of the evening that de-
serves more than a passing notice
were the orations of ten little boys
on the life and history of ten great
characters wnose acts and
deods have gone far in the
and
katy rates.

program, and long before the light
of day had begun to fade in the
west the huge crowd began to
come in. This was set aside as
young ladies' night, and long be-
fore the exercises commenced the
house was packed as full as it
could be, every inch of standing
room being taken at a premium;
young men and boys hung in the
windows and stood up in buggies
and peeped in from the outside,
and many there were who never
got a glimpse or heard a word.
The decoration of the stage was
something grand and a feast for
the eye of the lover of beauty and
grandeur. The program was com
plete and perfectly arranged. The
great wreathes of flowers filled the
suffocating hall with a delicious
odor.
The ten little girls with foui
colors rendered the "White Caps,''
which was highly entertaining.
The six young ladies who were
contestants for the medal for the
recitatiOn were ali turned down b\
Miss Mollie Daugherty, her sub-
ject being "My Mother's Grave."
It was rendered with all the force
and feeling a§ if it had been real.
One could almost see in his mind
the new made grave. Miss Mol-
lie is »n Era girl and has been
educated in our home academy.
Aside from the suffocating heat
everything was complete.
A like entertainment will be
given by Prof. Lane's school at
Bermuda about tbe 1st of June.
