BOARD OF TRADE.
Last night was the regular
monthly meeting of the Board of
Trade and a very good attendance
of'members was present.
Matters concerning Cuero’s com-
mercial interests were discussed
freely' and at length, and especially
was the question of better county
roads ventilated.
The government boll weevil ox-
pert, it was stated, would be at
Victoria at the weevil congress ^o
be held there soon. After that
meeting he will come to Cuero and
persue his investigations.
The Record is glad to note the
interest that continues, to be mani-
fested in the Board of* Trade and
hopes it will not lag. A thorough-
ly organized and active organiza-
tion of this character can do more
for a town than can be accom-
plished by any other means.
IS UNSETTLED.
JURY LIST.
Capt.'J. P. Nelson arrived iuthe
city yesterday and two very im-
portant meetings of the citizens’
committee were held at the law of-
fice of Price, Green & Green^ Suf-
fice to state that matters are still in
an unsettled state and much hard
work will yet have to be done be-
fore the promoters of the enterprise
can build the propos^ road by way
of Yoakum.—Yoakum Times.
It develops that there is a short-
age in the postoffice in Yoakum
and suspicions point toward a
y'oung man who was the deputy'
and had charge of -the books at the
time of the fire a§ the guilty one.
He left town on the 5th, day of
September saying he would-be
back on the following Monday, but
he has not yet returned.—Victoria
