Arrangements are being
perfected to organize a Woodmen Circle in Rosebud during the coming week, a
sufficient number of names having been secured to guarantee a charter.
Arrangements are being made for a school picnic about
April 22 on the Colorado river. The schools at Lott, Travis, Burlington and
Cameron will be invited to join in making the trip a success.
Yesterday had been designated as Trades Day for
Rosebud, and from the number of purchasers which thronged the streets it was
very evident that the efforts of merchants had been fully appreciated.
The Rosebud milling company are preparing several
samples of their best flour for exhibition at the World's fair. The sacks are of
white satin and the color work is simply fine.
Dr. C. B. Stark, of Shiloh, Ark., and Miss Leila Roper,
of this city, will be united in marriage at the Baptist church, Tuesday evening,
April 5, at 6:30 o'clock. All friends of the family are invited to be present.
No cards. The happy couple will leave on the 7:05 train for their future in
Arkansas.
The cold snap of last Friday night did considerable
damage to corn and cotton, but hardly as much as was at first supposed. In the
low places both corn and cotton were badly nipped, but the cotton will probably
come to a stand as it was planted very thick The corn that was damaged will have
to be replanted.
The Pythians of Rosebud held a most interesting meeting
Monday night, and there was evidently something as it was 2 a.m. before the
lodge closed. There were three candidates for the 2nd. and they were conducted
over the hot sands in the most approved style, several Knights from Marlin and
Lott assisting them on their journey. After the victims had in a manner,
recovered from their terrible experience a splendid lunch was spread in the
hall, and it is needless to say that it was thoroughly enjoyed by all present,
in fact a Knight is always at his best when a good spread is in sight.
