Strange Arrest Of
A Newspaper Nan.
The officers down about Alto
arrested a man, last Friday even-
ing, whom it is claimed was op-
erating, or trying to operate an
automobile when he ought to
have known better, or at least
waited until he was better equal
to the task
The man, who gave his name
as McCloud, and his home at
Dallas, was coming from Lufkin,
and according to the representa-
tions of those who saw him, was
trying'to cut across the country
to his home, while about three
miles this side of Alto, and run
into a buggy, an embankment
and other obstructions, but, as
usually the case, he was not hurt
and his car but little damaged.
The strange part of it is that
he claims to be a printer or a
newspaper man Not that it is
something unheard of for one of
this noble calling to get under
the influence of liquor, but be-
cause he claims tlv t it is the first
time ne was ever in such a con-
dition in his whole life, and if
that is true it was fortunate that
his mad career was stopped here
as he never would have made it
through Freestone county.
The victim was brought to
Rusk, and we understand is ar-
ranging, or has arranged to make
bond for his appearance to wait
upon the action of the coming
grand jury.
"On To Jacksonville"
Indians Battle-Cry.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Rusk College Indians, the
fighting, determined football ag-
gregation. went down to Pine-
ville, Arkansas, last Friday and
got about as little out of the
score as could possibly be obtain-
ed, while playing against a senior
college team, of almost the pro -
portions of Baylor University,
they are going up to Jacksonville
today, with blood in their eyes,
to win the game of the season>
with their old time opponents of
Lon Morris.
Rusk should win this game, by
all the signs and indications that
can apply to football, and about
the only thing this side of a
miracle that will prevent it will
be over confidence and an incli
nation to be "chesty."
If Rusk wins this game it will
then go into the State Confer-
ence of Junior colleges, with the
team from the Methodist Col
lege at Weatherford, which will
probably be staged at Dallas,
the first of next month.
If they loose or tie with Lon
Morris, they will then be tied
with Burleson College, Green-
ville, for the honor of entering
the inter collegiate contest.
Our people should go to Jack;
sonville this afternoon and boost
for the Indians, as this game
means much to them
County Court Adjourned.
Installs New Equipment.
This being the third and regu-
lar jury week of the November
term of the County Court, the
jury was on hand, but notwith-
standing the fact that a number
of cases were set for trial, either
the clients or attorneys were not
ready and all were continued for
the term and the jury discharged.
Miss Dorothy Guinn, of Den-
ton. arrived yesterday for a holi-
day visit with home folks.
Tom Goolsby, of the Rusk
Hardware & Furniture Company,
was in Dallas, the first of the
week, where he purchased one
of the most complete and com
modiously appointed combina-
tion hearse and ambulance on
the market today.
The new acquisition was re-
ceived yesterday and will prove
a great addition to the equip-
ment of the undertaking depart-
ment.

More Nurses For
Asylums Urged
Austin, Nov. 19.—Women em-
ployes at state institutions will
work only the legal 54 hours
weekly, if a plan mapped out
Tuesday by the Board of Control
and other agencies get Governor
Moody's approval.
Dr. C. W. Castner, superin
tendent of the Wichita Falls
State Hospital, has been charged
by CharlesMcKemy, Labor Com
missioner, with violating the 54
hour law. Former Senator J. D
Parnell. representing Dr. Cast-
ner; the Labor Department and
the Board of Control, now are at
work preparing a deficiency
budget providing for employ-
ment of additional women work-
ers at the five insane hospitals.
If Moody grants deficiency ap-
propriation to employ more help,
the State will begin observing
the law governing hours of labor,
it was announced.
R. B. Walthall, member of the
Hoard of Control, recently de-
clared it would be "little short of
criminal'' to lock up hundreds of
women inmates of the hospital
without attendents, the only way,
he claimed, by which the State
could observe the 54-hour law
with present funds.
News has reached here that
Mr. rl. Howard Barnes died last
week in Lima, Peru. Mr. Barnes
was sixty years of age, and leaves
a vife and two children. His
wife was formerly Miss Mattie
Simmons, sister of Mrs. E. C.
Dickinson and Mr- W. H. Sim-
mons of this city. His home was
in Boston, Massachusettes. He
was a civil engineer by profess-
ion, and he directed the laying
j out and mapping of New Birm-
ingham, Texas, in the year 1889
I and at that time lived here- He
has been in South America for
the past two years on professional
business, and his wife was with
him when he died. The body
will be shipped to Boston, for
burial.
The Rusk Civic League, re-
cently inagurated at the initia
tive of a number of the ladies of
the town, is getting well under
way, and promises to be all that
was intended and expected of it.
A membership drive was start-
ed at the last meeting, and some-
thing like 150 of the leading
citizens cheerfully identified with
the movement and paid their
fees and dues in advance.
A committee from the new or-
ganization appeared before the
Commissioner's Court at its
meeting last week, and secured
permission to replace the hedge
that is missing in spots around j
the court house square, and also
to set out flowers around the J
yard.
The Court not ^only granted
the request but voluntarily made !
an appropriation of $15.00 toward i
helning pay the expense of the j
improvement.
Representatives of the organi- .
zation will appear before the j
Kiwanis Club, at its meeting to
morrow, with plans for co-oper-
ation in offering prizes for the;
most attractive premises and I
grounds.
Many other commendable I
moves are contemplated by the
Club, and they are greatly en-
couraged by the spontaneous and
liberal support that is being af-
forded them.

BUYING AT HOME
The principals of various
schools of Cherokee County, are
to meet in Rusk, tomorrow
(Friday) afternoon, for the re-
gular annual institute.
An interesting program has
been prepared and a large at-
endance is expected.
Kirby Holcomb went duck
hunting Monday, but was not
out long. He met a 'possum
coming to town and just came
back with it
Mrs. J. E. Shelton, accom-
panied by her daughter, Miss
Betty Virginia, of Brownfield,
came in Thursday for a two
weeks visit at the home of Mrs
SI elton's sister, Mrs. H. O.
Ward.
In our write-up last week, of
the opening of the new Single-
tary Cafe and Hotel, we mention-
ed the fact that the furniture was
nn the ground, but neglected to
say that it was purchased from
the B. F. Sherman Furniture |
Company of this city.
This is commendable, and this
thing of running off to the cities l
to buy anything extra that you i
need is most unbusiness like.
This firm, as well as other
dealers, pays cash for its goods,
buys them in car load quantities,
has a comparatively light over-
head expense in conducting its
business and can and does sell
just as good merchandise for less
money than you can get it else-
where.
Furthermore, it is patronizing
home institutions and this wej
must do if we expect to build and
keeD our up our town.
