We hear considerable complaint
from pedestrians about the side
walks on Main street being ob-
structed with building rubbish and
boxes and barrels. Yesterday

Last Monday while Mr. John
C. Jacobs and Will Eaheart were
riding through the Norman horse
pasture just west of town, they
encountered a very large wild cat
to which they gave chase. After
they had chased it about a half
mile it turned and showed fight,
k en fr. Jacobs threw his lariat
over its head and choked it down
and with the assistance of J&r.
Eahart tied it securely and brought
it to town alive, and now have it
on exhibition at Jacobs & Mc-
Comb's fe< d store,as a trophy of
their valor. Tn tying it up Mr.
cart iocgived some wounds in

Messrs. N. H. Burns and Max

start by supplying about fifteen
business houses with water. The
plans have not as yet been adopt-
ed, but the gentlemen np,med have
purchased from Mr. H. C. Jacobs
block 63 in Jacobs addition to the
town, which takes in the large
body of water known as Elm
Grove hole, which is > fed by
springs. It is located about a half
mile west of town, and the water
will be forced from there to the
reservoir at some high point in
town, from which it may be car-
ried through pipes with enough
pressure to force it to any point of
the city. Truly we are becoming

The members of this home in-
stitution have been busily engaged
during the past week in rehearsals
at the Shields' Opera House, pre-
paratory to their presentation of
the programme for the next enter-
tainment, which will take place
on next Friday night the 28th inst
The play upon which the members
of the club are bestowing so much
attention is Tom Taylor's comedy
in three acts, entitled "Still Wa-
ters Run Deep."
We understand the programme
will be interspersed with vocal
and instrumental music to relieve
the monotony of necessary waits
and intermissions. Those who
have not seen the club in "Led
Astray" should not miss the op-
portunity to witness the rendition
next Friday night at Shields' Op-
era house. Reserved seats can be
secured at Bruckner's Pharmacy
from next (Wednesday until the
night of the entertainment.

raised considerably in the estima-

son of his exploits with the rod

that they fished "up the creek,"
rather indefinite to "catch on" to
the haunts that proved so success-
ful to the party. They brought
in thirty pounds of black bass,
perch and cat fish, and were not
out more than ten hours. The
old bachelors of the party are not
through yet talking of the fine
dinner prepared for the occasion
by the ladies of the party, which
adds another pang—in a tender
place—to the regrets of the unfor-
tunate News man.

The stone work on the court
bouse is almost finished and next
week will see the walls completed.
The gentlemen who have the con-
tract to do the galvanized iron
work, Messrs. Huey & Phelp,
of Dallas, are on the ground
and have already put up a part of
the cornice,' while Mr. Russell,
who has charge of the wood work,
is fully up with his work, so we
may expect to see it completed at
an early day. From its present
shape we may judge pretty well
what it will look like when finally
completed. We have in the last
month heatd the remark made by
strangers who have traveled all
over the state, some of them prac-
tical jnechanics and contractors,
that Shackelford county will have
when it is completed the finest and
most substantial court house in
the state of Texas. Mr. Sinclair,
the gentleman who has superin-
tended the stone work, personally
inspected every rock put into the
building and assures us that the
building will stand for five hun
dred years if no. destroyed by fire
or providential u le. ier nee. This
is a building of which the citizens
of ShackeUowJ well

Piscatorial Penciling*.
Last Saturday morning a goodly
number of ladies and gentlemen
of Albany might be seen wending
their way to the eastern part of
the county. Every kind of con
veyance was pressed into servioe
for the occasion. Some in bug-
gies, some in hacks, others on
horseback, while Stone & Cullum's
omnibus was fairly loaded down
with ladies and children, and bas-
kets full of good things.
The affair was a go-as-you-please
pic-nic and fish frolic. There was
little time for preparation, as the
gentleman who commanded the
brigade issued orders only the
evening before, after laying out
hooks and bait in pot-fisherman
style. Of course Jenkins was
there, otherwise how could the
readers of the News know any-
thing that happwieJ The spot
selected is afHfae confluence of
North and Salt Prongs.
The "motHlfig hour" was most-
ly spent in the aquatic diversion
of paddling a cano* a the turbid
waters of North Prong. We al-
ways knew that John Shelton
could "steer" a bovine or round
up a Norman horse, but to notice
the way he handled that paddle
would make and old salt Shed
tears. Peter Hart assisted John
as lookout on the forecastle, and
looked a modern prototype of
Captain"Uack Bunsby, except that
instead of having "one eye on the
coast of Greenland," his was on
Mrs. McAnulty's dinner basket.
Dinner was served and to say
the "spread" was "fit for the
gods," etc.i might intimate the
ethereal and not the substantial
features of the meal. To attempt
a descriptive bill of fare to do
justice to the fair ladies who con-
tributed to this pic-nic, would re-
quire the artistic taste and touch
of an epicurean connoisseur; suf-
fice it to mention the names of the
ladies present, who were Mrs. R.
E. McAnulty, Mrs. E. R. Man-
ning, Mrs. W. P. Stone, Mrs. J.
W. Manning, Mrs. D. S. Cullum
and Misses Ida Manning, Sally and
Rschel Barry, which mention is
sufficient guarantee that there was
an enjoyable time. The gentle-
men of the party, who by the way
disregarded any dyspeptic ten-
dencies with which they might be
afflicted, were R. E. McAnulty,
J. H. Briggs,Geo.F. Moore, Jno.
A. Shelton, T. H. Strong, D. S.
