Around the City.
A Caller man, ncoompamed by
a friond, has taken sevoral strolls
around tho little city of Chappell
Hill sinco his arrival in tho city,
and was indeed surprised to see
so many littlo comiortable cot-
tages along tho roadsidti), and also
to see each and everyone of them
filled comfortably with good
people.
Chappell Hill is one of tho old-
est towns in tho State, and has a
right^to feel proud of its citizen-
ship. The people here all seem to
be perfectly contented and happy.
Thoy havo no soleot crowds, but
everybody is sociable and broth-
erly and sisterly to one another.
They enjoy themselves tho year
round by giving sociables, picnics,
ontortainmonts and fish-fry's. Our
people aro all civilized, and there
is no need of any officer to be on
tho street no day in the week,
month or year to keep order—for
the poople horo will not tolerate
with the rowdy olass.
Our people havo sense enough
and pride enough to behave them-
selves without an officer. It is
true we have a constable, but he
is never uneasy about our people,
and iB very seldom called upon to
restore order.
Corae to Chappell Hill, look
around and become acquainted
with its citizens and you will say
that you have never met better
people.
We havo tho only Ice Cream
Parloi" ih Brenham. Our store is
supplied with motor fans. Soda
Water all flavors. Ice Cream all
flavors. L. Z. Harrioon, Mgr.
Lynched,
The weasel that waa captured
last Friday morning by a large
posse, mention of which appeared
in last Saturday's paper, was ta-
ken out of jail in thia city Sunday
and lynched, Tho officer's efforts
to protect it proved fruitless. This
weasel has murdered a number of
chiokons for soma of our citizens.
The Callir'£ success, liko all
other newspapers publishod, de-
pends upon the busiuoss men of'
its town. Without their aid wo
cahnot live.
