whom the GODS
WOULD DESTROY.
*—
Judging by Oscar Callaway’s ad-
dress at 1 addin he must have been
wrought to high pitch of temper,
which wa.'i all very naughty, and
entirely unjustifiable, because big
liich, such as those who aspire to
b.c statesmen and diplomats never
let the least thing ruffle the ev-
en tenor of their temper. Ages
ago il was wrtten that those whom
the gods would idestroy they first
made mad. and now it seems that
some one is making Callaway mad
that he may accomplish his own
political death.
It is alleged that he, in his Putv-j
lilt speech litis week, assailed.
Judge W. J. Oxford and District i
Attorney Will Pannill, among oth-1
cr things calling them political i
crooks, and furthervstating that ift
they were turned loose on the
pike road at Dublin they would not •
have sense enough to make their i
way to Stephenville.
U, Oscar, for shame. How could
you be so rash? The lion. Oscar
Callaway voted against the child
labor law on the ground that it in-
terferred with states rights. That
is his only justification a puerile
justification when weighed against
humanity. The great cotton facto- ville
ries were making peons of white
children of the smith, depriving

The Dublin and Edna Hill public
•oad near Purvcs was narrow, and
very rough, with great ditches on
tech side, which made it danger-
ous. On the long hill two teams
could only pass with difficulty.

hit in going to church, and he fear-

narrow highway there would be a

When the Bexar Construction
Co., people went there to work
the road they saw the road must
be widened before work of any ron
sequence and of any value could
be done. They put the matter be-
fore .M.r.Gilbreatb and the owner on
the opposite side of the road, who
j very reluctantly agreed to give
them partial riight of way, and
Lhe company began work. In t)io
course of a week they bad the
fences removed, and as if by mag-
ic the great ditches and unsightly
rocks had disappeared, and in-
sGad a mile of splendid highway
had been created. The mile of
steep, rugged bill waas absolutely
smooth, and no longer appeared as
a menace to life and property,and

you want, and you need not put

OWE- HIM A RIG .APPLE.
Have you ever noticed the pret-
ty depot building which sits on the
trouble. They are in a sanitarium north side of Tarleton avenue?
where their surroundings are very
pleasant, and where friends keep
their rooms redolent with tho per-
fume of flowers. Both are getting
along nicely.
Stephenville made a fight for
that building, and it was through
Hie special efforts of <>. B. Colquitt
that it was secured without delay.
Mr. Colquitt made a special trip
the Deisher case was being organ-
ized, and when it bad been built
up to eleven men, these were taken
to the jury, room by the deputy
sheriff to there await the secur-
w ill do this by getting, the people ing of tjlc twelffth man. As the
interested in buildging side walks (],vpU|y closed .the door to lock
and concrete gutters. His firstly, jUt.y jtl some one cried out,

bel place near the city ball joputy opened the door and heard

in, and he has secured colli tracts box.” This man was Alf Burnett,
from all property owners on Tarle- Ht, was not jn the room longer
to aavenue as far west as th<
Baptist church. However, it is to
be regretted that the work cannot
include all the property to the
Frisco depot, because when a trav-
eler steps from a depot and sees
the town well side walked the first
impression made is that "this must
be a pretty good town,” and for-
ever after that stephenville is *n
than it took him to walk from
the rear of the room to where
the deputy stood, which was hot
more than two miinutes. On .this
slight foundation of truth is based

would not be difficult to have a

fine piece of work on that, steep

and always believed it impossible
for any one to do jgork that would
make thiis road look decent. It is

distant. _
