COMMERCIAL CLUG NOTES GALVESTON BEADY FOR
HIS GIRL WIFE
On account' of the services at the
Methodist church at 10 a. m. the board
of directors passed their regular week
ly meeting today to 9:13 Wednesday
morning. There should be a full meet
ing, as the report of the hotel com.
mlttee will be received. There Is also
a sentiment among our citizens that
a city census should be taken, as there
Is a general feeling that the federal
census leaves Bryan about two thou
sand short of Its real population. This
matter will be fully discussed and de
cided. The meeting should not last
over forty minutes, and all may then
go to the church service.
Mrs. Bessie Lawrence, COG North
Regent street, has completed the grad
ing and filling of her lawn, making
another effective Improvement to this
thoroughfare. There are still some
lawns to be worked on.
A number ;)f men have remarked
that the crossing on Anderson street
at Main would be better if it were
not so low. The fault Is not with the
walk, but with a short place at this
particular place on Main street, which
will be graded down to the street'line.
The Cedar Hill dairy wagon was
first on the streets Monday morning.
This Is the beginning of what h ex
pected to be a modernly equipped
dairy and creamery for not oniy Sryan
but Brazos county. It is the purpose
of the proprietors to make thU a per
manent market for milk and cream,
also to furnish the very best print
dairy butter.
The mechanics have practically
taken possession of the main store
room of A. M. Waldrop & Co., but let
the public be patient with the Incon
venience for a few days and the beau
tiful effect of the improvement will
amply repay any slight annoyance
during changes.

note the many new sidewalks, cross

Improvements cost, but little in real
