The above figures were Compiled
from the records of County Super-
intendent Seans; and, by thfe way,
Mr. Sears is makidg this office a
valuable adjunct to the educa-
tional system of the county. He
is careful painstaking and syste-
matic in his work, and therefore
his office is a real help in di-
recting educational affairs.
J. W. Neblett on Wednesday left
for ■ Cottle county to visit his
ranch. One of his renters who re-
cently planted 220 acres to cotton
on sod land writes that he will he
sure to make on it 220 hales of
cotton. Dick Moore, J. P. Syler,
John Whitman, Berry King, and
several others will likely go with
Mr. Neblett, with the view of
renting land. Mr. Neblett, recently
fenced 1000 acres, and built good
residences. On one tract he has
given a road four miles long, and
on thw he will plant pecans the
entire length. His plan is to plant
a blackberry bush for shade, which
is absolutely necessary to protect
the young pecan tree the first
two years. The nut will he plant-
ed along side the berry plant.
This plan has been recommended
by one of the beak''horticulturists
ia Texas.

take a little of Roberts' civilization.

At Wilson, south of Dublin, late
Saturday afternoon, J. I. Gilbert, a
prominent farmer, was literally
peppered with bird shot, and two
men standiing near received a few
Stray shot.—Over 100 were removed
from Gilbert, two barrels of a shot
gun having been fired at him.
Rev. W. P. Anderson, a former
tenant of Gilbert, was released on
a bond of 9750.
John Cook, well known in Ste-
phenville, died last week at his
home on Armstrong creek. He
oame from Georgia 35 years ago,
and -settled where he dietfc Moc-
casin rook, on which numerous
Indian hieroglyphics are out is
situated on the Cook property. The
“rook" is a narrow defile on Arm-
strong creek, with solid upright
rooks on either side the stream.
A buggy horse ran away at Dub-
lin Sunday and tore the buggy to
splinters. Later he was hooked
to a baggage wagon and. again he
ran away, colliding with a buggy
near a bank and demolished it. The
animal ran to the walk at the State
bank, and shivered a large plate
glass into many pieces. The shaves
of the buggy then struck a plate
glass in the store of C. W. Fine
and crushed it.
Don’t permit a wiggle* tail to
breed in your water barrels or cis-
terns. A spoonful of oalomel in a
cistern will destroy them. In the
barrels a litUe kerosene will do the
work effectually. Do not let the
sooundrels bite you, for there is
danger of injecUng into your sys-
tem malarial poison.
Tbe family which permits flies
and mosquites to breed in millions
invites all kinds of feyprs—malarial
as well as tbe deadly typhoid. Plans
a barrel of water st some con-
venient place and stir in- two
of blue stone and sprinkle
your closets daily, and kill the
grubs which produces the typhoid
fly.
Dr. G. J. Nunn returned to the
city Thursday, having closed up
his business affairs at Amorilla.and
is now busily engaged iu arranging
for the fall opening of John Tar-»
leton college. While absent from
the city he had opportunity to do
missionary work for Tarleton col-
lege, which will result in much
good. Dr. Nunn is a ripe scholar,
and teaches, not that the money he
receives as a salary is necessary,
but because be loves the work.and
because he believes that the pro-
fession permits him to sow in the
minds of the young seed that will
bring forth fruit and redound to
his credit long after he is gathered
unto hi* fathers. In other words,
he is a man of broad, liberal, ex-
pansive ideas, and desires to im-
part’to ’others knowledge'which’wil
make of them useful oitixens, and
also enable them to garner greater
knowledge, and impart it to the
as opportunity offers.
cause of his unselfish devotion to
the cause of education, and tie-
cause he believes the profession
of teaching is one of the most ex-
alted man can follow, makes him
an ideal head for Tarleton college,
and this institution will prosper
under his guidance. And Dr. Nunn
is not a dreamer, or an idealist.
With the varied accomplishments
of a liberal education obtained at
various universities', and strength-
ened by reading and travel, he is
also ripe in knowledge of business
affairs, which makes the “well-
balanced" man. The board of man*
agers chose wisely when it chose
Dr. Nunn to preside as president
over Tarleton college. While he is
there he will inject business into
its internal affairs. It will prosper
as never before.
