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.
