Club Ladies Picnic at Bluffdale.
The XXth Century Club of Ste-
phenville invited their sister club
N. T. S., Woman’s Wednesday
club of Granbury and th^ Civic
League of JBluffdale to join them
in a picnic at the famous picnic
grounds of Bluffdale on Wednes-
day March 4. . ________________
In spite of the inclement weath-
er a large number of the XX
Century and N.T. S. ladies board-
ed the 9:40 train Wednesday
morning and were met at Bluff-
dale by the Civic League, and
conveyed to the grounds in a
Targe float gayly decorated in
green and white, the colors of
the civic League. Shortly after,
the automobiles of the Granbury
ladies rolled in, and the fun be-
gan in earnest. The Civic League
bad provided every arrangement
possible for the comfort of the f
ladies and by the time they had
all greeted each other it was
time for dinner. And such a din
as itfproved to be! Surely, there
was never a more tempting ar-
ray of good things spread before
fH a crowd of happy hungry women/
dinner was over, the ladies
Orr and Mrs.Bassel for the XXth
Century club, after which they
discussed their work generally,
and exchanged some very help-
ful ideas. Following this came
a most delightful surprise to the
visiting ladies in the form of a
reception tendered them by the
Civic League at the home of Mrs
Paul Chandler. The parlors were
decorated with roses and ferns
and at different places were hung
the names of the four clubs beau
tifully done in evergreens. Ices
were served. Each lady was
given a handpainted souvenir
card, the work of Mrs, Lee Right
The ; rest of the afternoon was
spent with music and read-
ings, after which the visiting
clubs departed claiming it to have
been one perfect day. The hos-
pitality of Bluffdale will long be
treasured by the visiting clubs.
Why The Empire is Late.
Once a year comes the publica-
tion of the delinquent tax lists,
and it invariably throws us h day
late, but we shall try and not let
it occur in any other week of
the year. These lists will run
three weeks yet and become an
eyesore to the readers no doubt,
but remembering that it requires
some paid matter to keep a pa-
per moving none of our good
readers will grumble.

The last official act of Mayor
Baldwin was to administer the
oath of office to his successor J.
J. Bennett and the four newly
chosen aldermen Tuesday night.
Mayor Bennett’s inaugral ad-
dress'was right to the point and
indicated that he purposed with
the council’s aid to keep Stephen-
ville going up the hill of progres-
siveness. He announced stand-
ing committees as follows:
Fire department and police
regulation: Slaughter, Doyle, and
Ator.
Streets, bridges and railroads:
Sandidge, McLaughlin, Orr.
Finance: Ator, Orr„ Neblett.
Water and lights: Neblett,
Frey, Sandidge.
Printing and publishing: Ator,
Doyle, McLaughli'^.
Ordinances: Orr,Frey,Slaugh-
ter.
Immigration and advertising:
McLaughlin, Slaughter, Sandidge.
Sanitary affairs: Frey, Doyle,
Neblett.
W. P, Orr was named for may-
or protem; John Doyle was chos-
en clerk and J.B. Ator city treas-
urer. Alex Johnson was elected
city attorney and Bud Deason re-
elected chief of police with the
additional duties of assessor and
collector. Luke Jones was re-
tained as scavenger. 1

What Use Oo You

HE WAV A MAN Uses
Money—is perhaps one
of the best tests of char-
acter. Motley should not lie
regarded’as the principal end of
life, nor should it he regarded
with contempt, for it represents
to a great extent the means of
mental and physical comfort.
The finest qualities of human
nature are related to the right
use of money—generosity, hon-
esty, justice and self-sacrifice.
A little self-sacrifice, a sav-
ings account with this hank,
and a determination to use your
money right (bv saving it) will
I
soon accumulate a snug balance
to your credit.

Not only does the law require
it, but the rapid advancement of
the profession demands that ev-
ery teacher attend a first class
Normal. You cannot afford to
miss the opportunities that will
be offered by the Erath-Hood
Summer Normal which will be-
gimJune 20 and close with exam-
inations July 29.
Every requisite fora first class
Normal will be found here. The
college building with its splen-
didly equipped laboratories and
elegantly furnished libraries will
be at your disposal. The faculty
is composed of teachers who
stand in the front rank of the
teaching profession of the state.
Each one is especially fitted to
handle the subject assigned him.
The hospitality of Stephenville
comment, yet we might say that
nothing that will add to your
pleasure and profit will be left
undone.
Those who expect to become
teachers and who wish to secure
a certificate will find the Normal
peculiarly adapted to their needs.
Besides, the State Superintendent
realizing the young teacher’s
need of Normal training, favors
teachers who have had training.
Any ambitious school boy or
girl who would like to take some
work for advanced standing, or
for greater proficiency in any
past work, will be given a chance
to do so. The expense of board
and tuition will be nominal. For
any further information, address

Fortunately for Poindexter his
large following is not made up of
the kind that can be scared from
what they consider a rightful po-
sition. Just at this time extra-
ordinary attempts are being made
to show the supporters of the up-
right Judge why he is not the
man they should rally around,
but they are worse than Missou-
rian’s about seeing the point un-
less a point be really and truly
established beyond a reasonable
doubt. Thus far the only charge
fully proven against Judge Poin-
dexter, in fact the only charge
made, is that he advocated with
all his soul the claims of Senator
Bailey, and at the proper time
and place, July 23 at the ballot
box, it will be discovered that
ever so many thousands of Texas
voters regard that eharge more
in the nature of an honor than an
error. There will be enough such
to elect him, and among them
will be thousands of the good
Methodist brethern of Dr. Ran-
kin. It is a glorious thing for
all denominations and for the
country generally that no one
man carries the votes of the peo-
ple around in his vest to be
changed as the fancy may strike
him. No matter who gets off
the fence at this stage of the
campaign, there are enough voters
who have never been on the
fence to tide Judge Poindexter
safely past the breakers, and the
Empire has not a particle of
doubt but they will do it.
