Be careful about that little cough.
Get something right away: some good
reliable remedy that will move the
bowels. Kenedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup acts gently yet promptly on the
bowels ana allays inflammation at
the same time. It Is pleasant to take
and it U especially recommended for
children, as it tastes nearly as good
as maple sugar. , Sold by Belton

Central Hotel Changes Hands.
The Central Hotel again
changes hands, this time it
passes from a A. Schaweto Robt.
Pyron, of Ft. Worth. This is a
very valuable property the con-
sideration in the sale being $50.-
000. While the Democrat has
had no conversation with Mr.
Pyron, it is generally understood
that he will make considerable
improvent on the building and
have it one of the best hotels in
Texas. While it may be a matter
of conjecture, yet there are reas-
ons to believe that Mr. Pyron
will enneavor to make this point
interesting as a quiet healthy re-
sort for those who wish to enjoy
a vacation. With an entrancing
landscape surrounding Belton,
and the statistical facts concern-
ing its health record, there is no
place in this wonderful state
that could offer so great induce-
ments as this vicinity. Beauti-
ful crystal streams, wonderful
mineral and spring waters, the
natural parks, the little cedar-
capped mountains, the meadows
and dales carpeted with sweet-
scented clover blossoms and
other wild flowers, make Belton's
environment a dream, and here
life woukl be worth the living,
and were it not for the fear of
contradiction by the Houston we
would claim that the original
Garden of Eden was situated
where Belton now stands, as evi-
dences are discovered every day
to subtantiate this belief.
A Protest.
Belton, Tex., March 18, '08'
The city council this morning
granted a franchise to a carnival
company, to show here during
the week beginning April 14th.
The'pastor of the Presbyterian
church met with the council to
enter his objection against grant-
ing the franchise to the carnival
company, to show at that time.
At the proper time he got up
to enter his objection, but was
denied the right to be heard.
The Presbytery of Central
Texas meets here the same week
(about sixty preachers and el-
ders) and will have business
sessions morning, afternoon and
night.
The noise and din from the
carnival will seriously and griev-
iously interfere with said meet-
ing of Presbytery. I therefore,
as the representative of a public
institution which is for the high-
est welfare of the people, and
also representing one hundred
and fifty loyal and substantial
citizens, and as a citizen, do
earnestly and publicly enter my
sincere protest against any ar-
bitrary methods, which denies a
citizen a right to be heard in
such an important matter.
Yours Sincerely,
A. P. Cunningham.
Fred Muelhouse is erecting a
commodiua residence on the old
Brookman place on South Main
street.

In compliment to their aunt,
J. C. Parks of New York, Misses
Carrie and Eileen Saunders en-
tertained with a 42 party on Tues-
day evening at the beautiful old
southern home of Judge and
Mrs. X. B. Saunders. The spac-
ious parlors were beautifully
decorated in green in honor of
the day, while homage to Saint
Patrick was also paid in score
cards and the favors of shamrock.
Only intimate friends who re-
member Mrs. Parks as Miss
Imogene Saunders, were includ-
ed in the guest list which reads:
Messrs and Mesdames A. D.
Potts, Arthur H, Potts, C. F.
Denny, B. R. Stocking, P. T.
Morey, J. M. Furman, Thomas
Yarrell, Sr., Richard Ray, Jesse
Blair' John Bloomer, S. S. Wal-
ker, Fred Guffy, Mrs. Zora Ham-
mersmith, Mrs. R. A. Nichols of
Beaumont, Misses Grace Giescke
Messrs. Arthur McElhannon,
Roy Monteith and Will D. Dobbs
of Brown wood. Fifteen games
were played and the fortunate
winners of prizes were Miss
Bessie Sparks and Mr. Dobbs,
for high score, Mr. Ray, the con-
solation and Mrs. Parks, the
guest's prize. Refreshments of
orange sherbet, cake and salted
nuts were served. The honoree,
noted always for her charming
personality, was lovely on this
occasion in a white silk crepe de-
chene en princess.
The Christian Endeavor So-
ciety of the Presbyterian church
entertained on Friday evening in
the basement of the church.
The form of entertainment was
in the nature of a St. Patrick af-
fair. The decorations were of
green and were pretty and
unique. Mr. D. C. Burkes, rep-
resented St. Patrick in a very in-
teresting manner, and it was
generally conceded that Mr.
John D. Robinson did most sig-
nal honor to the occasion by
"the wearing of the green."
Music, games and contests fur-
nished abundant amusement and
throughout the evening delicious
punch was served from "moss
covered" wells presided over by
isses Harris and Henderson.
The Jar ley wax-work show by
local talent will be given on Fri-
day evening, March 27, under
the auspices of the Woman's
Wednesday Club for the benefit
of the Public Library. The show
is under the management of Miss
Lilian Wells which fact is a guar-
antee of a successful entertain-
ment in every particular. The
posters onnouncing Mrs. Jarley,
the male quartette, and other
specialties are very artistic, be-
ing painted in water colors by
Misses Lilian .Wells, Cora and
Daisy Ray. Look out for the
posters and be sure and come to
the show. Admission thirfcy-five
ccnts.
Mrs. S. S. Walker was hostess
for the Cooking Club on Satur-
day afternoon. As a departure
from the usual entertainment on
these occasions, there were no
games, contests or prizes, and
the members spent the hour in
a social way over their needle-
work. Only the regular club
members were present to enjoy
the afternoon. The gracious
hostess served delicious refresh-
ments of chicken salad, sand-
wiches, olives, sherbet and salted
almonds. The club has decided
that they will for a season dis-
pense with forty-two at their
meetings.
Mr. Henderson of the State
University is visiting the affiliat-
ed schools of Texas. He was in
Belton on Thursday to visit the
Belton Academy and the High
School. He spoke words of en-
couragement to the pupils and
expressed his appreciation of the
work done at the Academy. Of
the High School he said there
was not a better one in the state.
The high rank of the various
schools of Belton is most gratify-
ing to the citizens here, who be-
lieve that good schools are good
investments.
The Belton Academy students,
chaperoned by Mrs. Ernest
Wedemeyer, constituted a jolly
party to enjoy a day at Salado on
Saturday. Besides all the pleas-
ures incident to a picnic, there
was a ball game in the afternoon
between the picked nines of the
Academy and the Thomas Ar-
nold. The game was interesting
and exciting throughout. The
final score stood 13 to 27 in favor
of the Thomas Arnold team.
The Woman's Wednesday Club
will entertain again this year as
is their custom in honor of their
mothers and their mothers'
friends. The "Old Ladies Party"
as it is affectionately termed will
be held in the parlor of Baylor
College Wednesday afternoon,
March 26 from four until six
o'clock. >

Baylor College Notes.
On Friday morning Mrs Zeh-
ner, who lectured in the Baptist
church the preceding night,
spoke in the chapel on "The
Place of Woman in The World."
She showed what it meant to
stand for ideal, some cause, or
something noble. She gave as
an illustration her experience,
with several friends, in repre-
senting America in the National
W. C. T. U. Congress in England
a few years ago. There were
four women to represent this
great and grand old union.
There was no man whom they
could depend upon as England
could upon Gladstone. As each
nation entered the room in the
long procession cheer after cheer
arose. The four women feared
that it was little they could do,
but when they entered with the
stars and stripes wrapped about
them and the lighted mi nature
statues of liberty held aloft, and
all the people rose to their feet
shouting 'America!! Americal"
those four women realized what
it meant to stand for a great
nation. How much more it
means to stand for a great prin-
ciple, for a great cause and for
a great ideal. Urging the stu-
dents to live on a high, lofty
plane, and to lift others to that
height, Mrs. Zehner brought to
a close her brief but soul-inspir-
ing address.
Rev. F. M. McConnell con-
ducted the exercises on Friday
morning. He explained the way
of Salvation, telling anew the
old, old story which seemed so
wonderfully sweet. He showed
some of the beauties and joys
of the Christian religion and ex-
pressed a desire that each stu-
dent would be a partaker of
those joys.
Sunday evening the Christian
Association held their monthly
missionary meeting. The sub-
ject was "India," and many in-
tensely interesting facts and ex-
periences in the life of Mr. and
Mrs. Clark, who have been on
the field for many years, were
brought out by several students.
At the close of the program one
of the teachers read a letter
from Mrs. Clark, which gave an
excellent report of the advances
made in India during the last
twenty-five years; then another
teacher read a letter from Miss
Annie Long, a former graduate
of Baylor, now engaged in teach-
ing in the mission school at To-
luco, Mexico. As a result of
this letter the association will
make a contribution toward the
school library.
Monday evening Dr. Harthan's
pupils gave a recital in the chap-
el, and it proved to be a most
successful one. All the stu-
dents were well prepared and
they gave an enjoyable enter-
tainment.
