LOTT.
R. P. Watts will begin the erection of a new building soon.
H. R. Seward and wife who have been away
for some time have returned.
J. Ritchey has received a pair of fine
blood hounds from his brother in Hillsboro. He has had several exciting

to tree the "coon."
Rev. W. A. Jarrell of Dallas, the pastor of
the Lott Baptist church is spending a week here with the members of his flock.
The weather continues dry and cold; the
candidate that will send us a rain has a "cinch" on anything that he wants.
Quite a sad death occurred in our little
city since the last writing. Little Burney, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs.

many friends who sympathize with the bereaved parents.
