ROSEBUD NOTES
~~~~~
From The News
~~~~~
Frank Davis was called to Huntsville last Friday on account of
the serious illness of his sister, but we are glad to note that her condition is
somewhat improved.
L. G. Gresham, who resides near the city, killed a large catamount last Friday
on Cottonwood. It was four feet in length and weighed forty pounds.
A great many inquiries are being received in regard to our oil proposition, but
just wait, gentlemen, and we may give you a chance to get in on the ground
floor.
Constable Luce passed through the city on the Aransas Pass railway enroute from
Waco to Cameron, having in custody a negro who fills the description of the one
who attempted the assault on a young lady near Branchville.
There are Several of our saloon men who will persist in selling liquor on
Sunday, which is violation of the law and against the wishes of the best people
of the town and country. Constable Wilson has a card in this issue which gives
said violators fair, warning, and if they continue it is more than probable that
their bondsman will be called upon for damages.
Judge G. W. Riddle will at an early date change his residence from Rosebud to
Dallas, and direct his interests from that point instead of Rosebud as
heretofore. He has established financial enterprises in different sections of
the state and many of them have grown to be strong and well established
institutions, He is a banker that has clustered about him success, is well known
throughout the state and enjoys a splendid financial reputation. He will remain
as president of the bank here with Mr. Martin still as its cashier.
