The members of tbe commercial
club aud tbe citizens generally of
Belton decided in mass meeting to
assess themselves ten per cent ol
their property valuation to secure tbe
Quanah-Dublin-Rockport railroad, tbe
sum to reach about $100,000. They
feel that the money will be well
spent and offer to show their faith in
the proposition in this most convinc-
ing way.

Dr. Geo. F. Perry, for over thirty
years a citizen of Hamilton and a
practicing physician there for more
than twenty-five years, died at Colo-
rado Springs, Colo., last Tuesday.
Dr. Perry had been suffering wipi
stomach trouble for some years past
and believing a summer in the moun-
tains would be beneficial he left
Hamilton last June in company with
Mrs. Perry and went to Colorado,
Members of the family at Hamilton
were summoned by wire last Monday,
stating that the doctor had been taken
very ill. The body is expected to
reach Hamilton next Sunday and the
