■THE HOUSE OF SERVICE
CONGRESSMAN WOULD IM-
PEACH PRESIDENT
Washington, D. C., Sept. 27. In a
letter to Representative W. S. Greene
of Massachusetts, chairman of the
merchant- marine and fisheries com-
mittee of the House, Representative
George W. Edmonds of Pennsylvania
today made formal request hat the
committee be summoned in an inter-
session meeting to consider impeach-
ment proceedings against President
Wilson.
This startling action was dictated,
Representative Edmonds stated, by re
fusai of the President to obey the man
date of section 34 of the Jones ship-
ping act. which “authorizes and di-
rects" that he take action to annul
such portions of 32 commercial treat-
ies as conflict with that law.
If Mr. Gxeene takes the action re-
quested it will be the first time since
the days of President Andrew Johnson
in 1867 that actual steps have been
taken to impeach a President.

FARM HOUSE BURNED
Joe Garner, of the Grundyville
neighborhood, was in town Tuesday
and reported that his house and con-
tents were burned completely up Fri-
day, Sept. 24th, between four and five
o’clock in the morning. The fire
caught in a room where they never
had fire, and the supposition is that
rats set it afire with matches. Neigh-
bors saw the fire before any of the
members of the household knew it.
A small amount of insurance was car-
ried with the Farmers’ Mutual Asso-
ciation, but will not replace the loss,
the amount of insurance being $650.
Mr. Garner and his family have the
sympathy of the general public in the
loss of their home.
McCOY-ARNOLD
Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock A.
L. McCoy and Mrs. M. E. Arnold
were united in the holy bonds of mat-
rimony, Judge W. H. Adkins reading
the ceremony and receiving the vows.
The marriage took place in the parlors
of the Draper hotel. Mr. McCoy is
a farmer of Llano county, and his
bride is proprietress of the Racket
Store at Lake Victor, and it is under-
stand the newly wedded couple will
make their future home in Lake Vic-
tor.
The cotton situation is becoming
more complicated than ever. The
price has dropped down in the last
few days several points, but the price
for pickers seems to be climbing high-
er, instead of decreasing wich the
price of cotton. One man who has
his farm rented, said he would not
expect his renter to pay thd present
price for pickers, and advised him
to pick what he could himself and let
the other go. He also stated that
“farmers in the South ought not to
plant a single seed of cotton for three
years.” That view is somewhat radi-
cal, as the scarcity of an article makes
the price go up, and what we seem to
want now is for prices to go down.
The financiers of the country are
welcome to the job of regulating the
situation, it bv no means an enviable
one.

Mr. and Mrs. John Donovan left
Saturday night for Dallas upon the
receipt of a message stating that their
son, Frank, was seriously sick. In
fact the message stated that he was
dead, but fortunately it was a mistake
and the mistake was discovered be-
fore they took the train for Dallas.
Will Lockhart went to Temple to
spend the day Tuesday. He is in
search of cotton pickers.
Misses Willie Davis of Briggs, Ade-
line Strutceis of Houston and Lydia
Gonzales of El Paso, who have been
guests of Mr. and Mrs. J Wesley
Smith during the summer, left Tues-
day morning for Belton to enter Bay-
lor college. Miss Gonzales will com-
plete her four years work this year,
and she expects to take up special
work of some kind, perhaps as a mis-
sionary.

office uesday morning a gree.i gourd
measuring forty-six inches in length.
It is surely a fine specimen of the bot-
tle gourd. In some instances the
gourds are used for making drinking
utensils, and when they are dry make
a very good substitute for a dipper.
