THE CALDWELL NEWS-CHRONICLE, CALDWELL. TEXAS, MAY 27, 1904.
ITEMS OF INTEREST

....GATHERED AT RANDOM....
m
—Read new ads for Cobb and
Womblc, Jenkins & Jenkins in
this issue.
—Chattel mortgages filed since
January 1 number 032 this year,
against S'H at the same date
last year.
—The ladies of the Eastern
Star jjavc an ice cream supper
Wednesday night for the benefit
of that order, which netted a
nice sum for the expense fund.
—Tomorrow night is the reg-
ular meeting of the Woodmen
of the World, and all members
are requested to remember the
date and be present at this
meeting.
—A regular meeting of the
Woodmen Circle will be held
tonight at the Woodmen Hall,
and all members are requested
to attend this meeting for in-
itiation work.
—There is slill need of the
street sprinkler, and the dust
promises to be worse yet, after
a few more weeks of dry
weather. We should have the
sprinkler by all means.
—Those who have been guard-
ing at Somerville returned last
Saturday, as all guards have
been taken off there, no further
trouble being feared. The
strike seems to have been a
complete failure from the union
standpoint, but most of the
men are still at work.
—H. M. Newcomb was show-
ing a large head of cauliflower
Wednesday, weighing at least a
pound and a half. He says he
has quite a lot of it, and the price
of cauliflower on the market is
such that it would be a tre-
mendously profitable crop to
grow here, and the heads shown
by Mr. Newcomb show that it
will do well here.
—The fourth annual banquet
of the Literary Society of thehigh
school was held at the auditorium
Tuesday night and was attended
by a large crowd, and was a most
enjoyable occasion to all, the
Society adding honors to those
already scored by it in the past.
—The dirt taken out in excava-
ting for the basement of the
Riley-Snook building will be
used in filling the street just be-
low the lot, and will make a much
better street where it crosses
the gulley. The sewer will al-
so be extended further so that a
solid street may be made where
it is now a gulley.
—The summer house at the
Masonic cemetery has been com-
pleted, and will prove a great
convenience there during bad
weather, as it is large enough
to hold funeral seevices in and
accommodate a fair-sized crowd.
This matter has been in the
bands of the ladies for some
time, and much credit is due
them that they have at last
finished the work.
—Some of the potatoes shipped
from here the past week have
been as fine as were ever raised
in the famous Kaw valley or
anywhere else. Potato growing
will be one of the chief indus-
tries of the farmers of this
county in the future. It is a
very profitable crop, and leaves
a chance to make another crop
on the same land, and there
should be hundreds of acres in
this crop another year in Burle-
son county.

The following from a Corsi-
cana paper in regard to the res-
ignation of Prof. J. W. Smith,
of that city to accept a position
in the Caldwell schools, will be
of interest, showing the high
esteem in which he and his
wife are held in Corsicana:
Prof. J. W. Smith has re-
signed his position ás principal
of the Corsicana High school to
accept the work of superin-
tendent of public instruction in
Caldwell, 'Texas. If Mr. Smith
has gained bv this change the
High school has certainly lost.
As a teacher, Mr. Smith is kind,
patient, painstaking and the
student's friend. As a member
of the faculty he is courteous,
amiable, thoughtful and unsel-
fish, striving at all times to
lighten the work of the other
teachers and make school life
harmonious and pleasant. In
the departure of Mrs. Smith,
society loses a sweet, unpresuin-
ing member the XX Century
club a faithful, earnest worker,
and the Nevin club will miss
her greatlv. While we sincerely
regret their departure, we re-
joice to know the change is a
decided promotion for Prof.
Smith and we wish them abun-
dant success and happiness in
their new home.

week placed in the Masonic
ccmetery two handsome monu-
ments erected by the Wood-
men of the World at the
graves of August Jannett,
of Yoakum, and T. J. Newcomb.
Both are fine pieces of work,
and reflect great credit on the
local marble yard. The unveil-
ing of these monuments will
take place in a short time, and
the date will be arranged at the
meeting of the Woodmen to-
morrow night.

Hamilton-Brown Shoes
ARE THE BEST
(Nat better, bet superlatively the beat, at Iba prices.)
THEIR. MOTTO:
"Keep the Quality Up."
We have just received another car load of these celebrated
shoes, which makes about three car loads received already this
year. Now. figure fully 3,000 pairs of shoes to the car, and figure
that we will receive another car load during the year, then you
will have an idea how many shoes we sell a year from this one firm
alone, and then figure that only about two-thirds of our shoe pur-
chases are from Hamilton Brown 5hoe Co., then you will be in a
better position to believe our statement, when we say that we sell
about 15,000 pairs of shoes a year, or an average of about 50 pairs
every business day in the year, and there must be a reason for it.
WE SELL rHE BEST $1.50, $3.00 AND $3.50 SHOES
