ROSEBUD NEWS NOTES
~~~~~
(The News)

     Mr. E. S. Cooper and Miss Helen (?)ook of this city surprised their many friends by going to Lott Monday, where they were united in marriage, after which they took the train for Waco, Dallas and other points.
     The monument erected to the memory of Sov. J. W. Boone at Powers Chapel cemetery by Rosebud (?)amp Woodmen of the World, was unveiled with the beautiful and impressive ceremonies of the order last Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large number of Woodmen and their friends.
     A military company is being talked of for Rosebud, and we trust the promoters will be successful in getting it started. A well organized infantry company is a great advertisement for a town and, as we have a great abundance of good material, we can't see why a crack company could not be gotten up here.
     The committee appointed by the Rosebud Business League to experiment with Paris green, as a means of destroying the boll weevil, went out to the farm of Alex Anding last Friday afternoon and applied the poison on a lot of volunteer cotton on which the pests had made their appearance in large numbers, and the experiment was very successful, as Mr. Anding came in Saturday afternoon and reported that nearly all the weevils on the cotton treated had been killed, hence the farmers to begin fighting the pests at once.
