It in now sakl on what 1# alleged to be good authority that the Bock Inland haa decided upon an exten elon from Fort Worth to Beaumont and New Orleans. In fact a call ham been («sued for a meeting of the stockholder* to be held In Fort Worth tome time In May for the purpose of voting bonds not to ex ceed £10,000 per mile for the con struction of the extension. Some of the preliminary surveys have al ready been made and the Informa tion comes from Corsicana that two gangs of surveyors are at work near that city. One is going south east and the other is headed in this direction. It is the purpose of the road to build across Ellis county but nothing definite as to the route has yet been given out. It Is claimed by those who are in a position to know that the road will be built from Fort Worth to Dallas, thence southeast to the gulf. In the mean time it would b«* well for Waxaha chie to keep her eye on the Rock Island's proposed extension. With this road and the International and Great Northern she will yet l>e known as a railroad center of some importance. A Pretty Weddinf. I love to attend weddings and wit ness handsome young people pledge their tow» to one another. Yester day morning It was whispered into our good ear that there wan to he a wedding at the home of Mr. Joe P. Cooper last nijfht at the hour of Ri ven and we were extended a eor dial Invitation to be present. At that hour quite a number of friends and neighbors of the family assem bled in the prettily decorated parlors at this hospitable home to witness the marriage of Mi»» Ruby Cooper, daughter of Mr. J. P. Cooper, to Mr. J. O. Keitt of Hubbard f'ity. At tl*e sonnri of Mendelsohn*» w«*d dïhjf march «pleftdldly rendered by Mia· Myrtle Pridemore, the cori traçtlng partie» entered the parlor from an adjoining room, the bride leaning gracefully upon the arm of the groom. In the presence of many friends and well wishers Rev. J. N. Ivy, pastor of the First Presbyte rian church, in a very beautiful ceremony, pronounced the words that united the destinies of these two young people. Mr. Keitt I» a splendid looking young man, is from one of the beet famille» of his town and in engaged in the drug business. Mis· Ruby's sweet face ami lovable disposition has won for her an enviable reputa tion among her associates. It was while visiting relatives at Hubbard City that Mr. Keitt met her, yielded to her charms and waged hie suit successfully for her hand and »fler tiona. He is a fortunate man and we congratulate him. They left on the Central at 9 o'clock last night for their future home at Hubbard City. Those in attendance from out of the city were Mr. Claud Onstott, Mi#· Zenobia Keitt, a sister to the groom, Min Irene Odell, Hubbard City; Mis· Maggie Thomason, Mllford, and Miss Lottie Raird, Ft. Worth. Many happy days to this young couple is the sincere wish of their many friends. Innocknck. Candidate for Recorder. Our young friend, Pete Hemphill, editor of the E m lis Weekly Local, la a candidate for recorder of his home town. We are not acquainted hie opponent* but will venture to βa# that Pete is the best looking mail or' the whole outf.t, uiià if elected he will make Rnnis a faith ful and conscientious recorder. JUMBO IS GIVE* AN OVATION. His Friend® Give Him a W»m Reception at Border Line. Dear Innocence. According to promise, here I come. I reached Arkansaw yesterday. There was a large crowd at the state line to meet me. When we left Dallas the fool conductor tele graphed to Texarksftta that I was coming. It was a crowd for your whiskers that met me at the depot. I noticed in the yelling crowd two of Waxahachie's favorite sons, Yancy Montgomery and Frank Dev enport, both now prominent busi ness men of Texarkana. There was I one thing however that marred the occasion! and that was because you did not come with me. They ex pected we would tour the state to gether. I tell you Innoconce, these good people are hurt over the way you are treating them. They say it doesn't matter if you don't never intend to live in Arkansaw ajrain and never intend to run tor an Ar kansaw office you miglv at least come to see them as often as I do They say if you don't come to see them and if you ever run for presi dent they are square ajrin you. I mad»' a few speeches from the I rear of'my special car on my way to i Little Bock. Gov. Davis and his staff n1» t me at Little Rock and 1 took me to the lunch counter and we had a time for two hours and I I rlrovtf» on Jeff Davie und hie gang are trying to heat Jim Jones and his gang for U. K. senator and Jim Jones and hie gang are trying to beat Jeff Davis and his pan? for governor. 1 tell you politics are hot here. Its like a dog flght in Van Zandt. They call on every man to «how his hand. I have been asked a dozen times or more if I was for Jones or Clark. Jim and Jeff speak here tonight and they tried hard to get me to act as master of ceremonies, but I got out of it by promising them that I would sit on the met rum with them This part of Arkanttaw and on north into Misseari was struck last year by that awful drouth and many of the people actojr'ly suffered and the state had to help some of them, I hut the people of this town are now I prospering and building right along. I They are breaking the ground to day for a 16000, three-story, brick hotel. There is a new interest being de veloped 4w»re. About a year ago some pearls were found on the shoals in the river. White and Black rivers are being worked now from Newport to beyond Batesville. Some very valuble pearls have been found, one or two selling for as rnucfo as £1άθ0. In the summer when the water is low the young people make up crowds, take their dinners and go "pearling" all day. They all wear knee breeches and wade in the shallow waters in search of pearls. I have accepted an invi tation for you and me to go with a crowd of young folks "pearling' next summer. Won't we have a time? This is my first trip to this part of Arkansaw. I have never been to Hot Hprings so I am going home that way. When I get there I will have been nearly ail over this irreat state. When a boy I bought and drove cattle nearly all over the state for Jim C'anady. Years ago I traveled all over the eastern and north eastern part selling "Green ville" tobacco. 1 am going to try and get home in time for the laying of the fcorner stone of the Trinity University, but should anything happen and 1 don't get there^ >'°u tell tne committee tu go ahead with the **érci»e*. Don't out it off on my account. 1 know it will be a big disappointment to them, but if you put it off it might rain. The weather is uncertain this I time of year. [Nkwabk, Ark., March 17, 1U02.

Wholesale and Retail}Druggists, Individuality 'THÈRE must be something in every individual which tears down or makes his success. No matter how many things we may have in common, how near we are like others in many ways, there must still be a something that makes—a something that tells of the peculiarities and distinguishes individu als one from another. The same can be said of every business—there must be individuality before success can come. Nearly thirteen years ago we started this business here. From the start it had its marks of individualism. Many said they would not win, but we had confidence and worked and forged right ahead How well we have succeed ed is known by most of Ellis County But we want you to know it, and us better We want your trade this season We candidly think we can sell you Clothing, Hats, Shoes and Furnishing Goods to better advantage than anyone else—first, because stocks are bigger, then we buy for five stores as for one, which brings the price down to to the lowest level that it can go, and not compro mise quality Our whole time, means and ener gies are spent in preparing for men's and boys' wants—Thus no risk to run by the purchaser, for we cheerfully pay money back on any purchase here that is not fully up to the buyer's expectation, and there are hundreds of other good reasons, but a call from you, a look through stocks, a comparison of qualities will clinch the argument. Will you come? New Spring stock ready now in every department Matthews Brothers Tell-the-Truth Clothiers R.ead the Daily Light Something New FOR OUR GENTLEMEN CUSTOMERS The Losse Progressive Τ ailoring Company, of St. Louis, has adopted a new and practicable plan of selling made-to-measure Cloth ing.

2.76 5.00 Patronize Heme Industries. Editor Light:— I we in your l* eue of the 19th Inst, that MilfonPa new school building* or the Preeby teriau College for Gtrls has been awarded to one of their local con tractot·. This is wise In the citi zens of that city and also I am glad to see that Ferris is to furnish the brick. This means a great deal for Ellis county. Institutional and commercial enterprises I think, where everything is equal, that our home people and commerial institu tions should patronize our home in dustries, and by doing so we invite capital to settle among us. Waxa hachie will soon have her limekilns and will be able to furnish all the lime that Ellis county citizens can use and as line a quality as can be produced in the state. We also have an inexhaustible amount of good material for making cements, and once Ellis county gets a good cement works it will be a great help in the way of improving public roads by putting good substantial cement culverts and bridges. When they are once in, that part of the road is complete and no more ex pense for generations to come. Let all citizens be loyal to home indus tries is my doctrine. D. D. PlTTMAN. Will Begin Work. W. E. Weatherford, of Dallas, general superintendent of the Amer ican Cotton Company, was in the the city this morning. He stated to a reporter for this paper that work would probably be commenced next week on the gin to be erected in this city. Mr. Weatherford says the new plant will be complete in all details and that it will be something for Waxahachie to be proud of. The same company will also erect a sim ilar plant at Ennis. Opening Postponed. On account of the rain the grand millinery opening of Cheeves Bros. Company which was to have tak en place today has been postponed ι until a later date. Will Build a Dormitory. At the session yesterday of the Red Oak Presbytery at Ferris that body decided to erect a dormitory at Trinity University for male stu dents. This dormitory will be situ ated some distance to the west of the main building and is to cost about $10,000. Subscribe for the Light. PROMPTNESS IN USING Paine's Celery Compound MEANS QUICK RESTORATION TO HEALTH IT IS THE GREAT SPRING MED ICINE USED IN THE HOMES OF OUR BEST PEOPLE Refuse All Substitutes and Imi tations That May be Offered To You. If in the spring time people acted with more promptness, decision and wisdom, suffering and misery would be vastly reduced. To put off the work of reflating and strengthening the nerves, puri fying the blood, and regulating di gestion, at this time of the year is a very serious mistake. Run down, weak, nervous, and diseased men and women cannot with safety refuse to use Paine's Celery Compound, the greatest „f vitalizers and health builders. The onward and triumphant march of the great medicine in thin country and other civilized lands should be positive proof that it is the ritfht medicine for all who look for stren>fth, robustness, energy and permanent health. It is of the greatest Importance that every sick person should >ret just what they ask for from their druggist or dealer. Paine's Celery Compound, so celebrated for its cur ative virtues, has many vile imita tions. If you are offered a substi tute or imitation by any dealer, leave his store and go to some hon est merchant who will give you what you ask for. Examine wrapj>er and bottle and see that the name PAI NE '.S is on each; no other is genuine. Weather Indications. Tonight showers colder, Friday fair colder. S. E. 8HELLITO, Observer.

A· f Cheeves Bros& Co Dyspepsia Curç The procès* of digestion is simply expiaioed. In the mouth, food is masticated and mixed with salira containing a digestant called ptyalin. In the stomach, it is acted upon by gastric Juice containing pepsin, whicb digests albuminous foods. In the Intestines, pancreatin is added to digest fats and starches. Indigestion always indicates an insufficient amount of one or all of these digestanta. At first thought it seems proper to abstain from foods not easily digested; but reflection shows us that while this affords relief by giving the weakened organs less to do, it only makestlfem weaker by giving them less nourishment. If you suffer from indigestion, the only right thing to do is to eat a generous variety of food and digest it by using such a preparation as Kodol Dyspepsia Curb, which contains all the known digestants, and completely digests what you eat.
