Special Correspondence to the Herald.
i Whitt, Texas, May 28.—Saturday af-
ternoon there was a mass meeting of
the citizens of this district to consider
the question of school tax. After the
question had been discussed It was
decidedly agreed that we should have
a 50-cent tax. It is highly probable
that A. Bennett will have charge of
the school next year. His coming
will depend upon the tax question.
We hope to see Parker county In the
front rank and our community a front
