poses about $200.00 were secured,
besides a nice sum, the amount
of which we did not hear, was
secured for mksion, association
and other purposes.
Among the many preachers
who delivered addresses and
attended the association from
afar were Revs, Brooks pres-
ident of Baylor University;

and the iron having already been
ordered, the work will be pushed
and completed in time for the
handling of the coming crop.
The warehouse will be in charge
of a Superintendent, and Mr. J.
M. Hirst will likely be elected to
fill this position, he having re-
cently took grading lessons in

Mrs. Jinks Rogers accidentally
shot her husband Aug. 30th
while shooting at a target. The
bullet struck a rib just over the
heart which prevented the ac-
bon. This we believe is a good
move for the farmers, and of
course if it is good for the farm-
ers it is good for us all, so we
are sure if the farmers decide
to build a warehouse in Carbon
they can get a liberal donation
from the business men. We
think a good plan would be for
the farmers to organize a com-
pany to do the building. It is
an enterprise in which all the
farmers would be alike interested
and everyone should not mind
taking a small share in the build-
ing. Four hundred farmers
each taking a share of $4 would
raise $1600.00, which we are in-
formed is to be the cost of the
warehouse now being erected at
