Benefit of Good Roads to
Farmers and Ranchmen
Mr. Voter, did you ever stop
to consider how much benefit
good roads will be to the farmer
and ranchman? Just think of the
saving in repairs on his wagon [ Nos. 1 and 2 in Uvalde county,
and harness, the bigger loads his i that certain members of the
team can pull, the time he can commissioners court will receive
save by doing that hauiing or money, or in other words that
making thatltrip to town in bad ; there will be graft in the sale of
weather when he couldn’t work said bonds, we, the undersigned
As it is being insinuated by
certain persons that in case the
bond issues carry and road bonds
are issued for Road Districts
on the farm. Often he is hinder-
ed by bad roads from hauling his
produce to town when the mar-
ket is good. Often hit children
are prevented from going to
school because the roads get too
bad? Sometimes he has to go
to the expense of boarding his
children in town, when if we had
good roads, they could stay at
home and drive in to school in
all kinds of weather. Or in case
of accident or sudden sickness,
how much would it be worth to
him to have good roads so that
the doctor could reach him quick-
ly in his auto no matter what
kind of weather, or what time of
day or night? Then it must be
admitted that good roads are
very beneficial to the farmer and
ranchman in many ways repaying
the cost of building and upkeep
many times over. Further it
must be admitted that whatever
benefits thejfarmer, benefits the
business man and everybody.
We look to thejfarmer and ranch-
members of the" commissioners
court beg to make the following
statement:
1. The law provides that said
bonds shall be sold by the whole
commissioners court to the high-
est bidder for cash.
2. The law further provides
that the commissioners court
shall have the right to reject any
and all bids.
3. We will state that in case
either of said elections carry and
bonds are issued, that bids will
be advertised for on said bonds
in one of the leading bond papers
of the United States, and that
the sale of said bonds will be
made in open court to the high-
est bidder for cash. viTe will fur-
ther state in this cor. section that
the advisory boards from each
road district will be present and
have a vote on said bids. The
boards are as follows: From
Road District No. 1, T. H. Me-
Nelly, N. B. Pulliam, Jake
Schwartz, Louis Smyth, James
man to produce what we eat and * Whitecotton and Gaston Wolver-
wear. If the farmer is prosper-
siA- .^£»fctoCis»r,^=k---,f a —
farmer fails, then everybody feels
it and we have hard times.
Mr. Voter, whether you can
see how good road3 can help you
individually or not, will you not
be doing the right thing by your-
self and by the community when
you vote for good roads to benefit
the farmer? Of course it costs
money to build good roads and
there is no way to get them ex-
cept by taxation, but think of the
great benefit of good roads.
Come out tomorfow, Saturday,
August 23rd, and vote for good
roads. You will never regret it.
Even if it is pouring down rain
on election day,manage somehow
to get to the polls and vote for
good roads, progress and prosper-
ity.

4. The law further provides

shall be allowed to any one for
the sale of said bonds.
5. Bids on said bonds will be
opened in open cc/hrt, and we

The course offered by the Col-

the lodging and meals for the
week Of course the prize is not
it IS qaitc an rumor uj Mnm-umT-
we represented the county most
remote from the college to take
the interest and trouble to make
the trip by auto. We had a very
pleasant trip, and feel that our
time was well spent.
Mr. Coleman, the winner, was
accompanied by Messrs. G. W.
Baylor and J. L. Jones of Montel
and N. E. Scudder, County Agt.
Mr. Coleman very kindly pre-
sented the check to the County
Agent, who, we understand, is
thankful for its value as well a9
the honor it bestows on his coun-
ty.
The “Farmer’s Short Course”
is a very valuable institution, and
it is to be hoped that by next
summer we will be able to in-
fluence more to make the trip.
Let us get up a larger party and
have an outing as well as a pro-
fitable week at the College. You
owe it to your family and to your-
self to take a little vacation at
least once a year. This willl give
you not only a rest from your
labors but also a week of profit-
able study.
Revival Services at the
Methodist Church
Beginning Wednesday evening
August 27, and continuing until
Sunday evening, September 7,
Rev. and Mrs. Ii. P. Wateis of
the Sidney Brooks Jr. Memorial
Methodist Church at Kelly Field,
will be in charge of the meeting.
They constitute a fine team of
Christian workers. I feel sure
that their coming to Sabinal will
be a blessing to the entire com-
munity. All Christian people who
desire to see a forward movement
in religious matters are cordially
invited to come and help us and
share in whatever spiritual up-
'TT^rnWie’ln
ing hand. Mr. Waters conducts
his own singing but requests all
singers to assist, Everybody in-
vited to these services. Come
and we will do you good. Re-
member the date, August to
September 7.

Do you believe in Good Roads?
Then don' fail to come out and
vote for the bond issue tomor-
row, Saturday, August 23rd.
Heavy Rains
A heavy rain of about two and
a half inches fell here Monday
night. There was considerable
wind. The rain was much light-
er a few miles from town in
every direction.
It rained three inches here yes-
terday up to two p. m. The Sa-
binal river is up about 20 feet. It
has been several years since the
river has been so high.
The rain Monday night stopped
the threshing of oats. The
farmers have had a time getting
there oats threshed this season.
Notice to the Public
My former manager, Mr, Salis-
bury, allowed a discount on the
Water and Light Bills of 10 per
cent which were paid on or be-
fore the 10th of each month. He
did this with a view of getting
full settlement by that time;
however, this transaction has
proved unsatisfactory and I did
noUntend to allow this discount
for August but being worried
about other transactions, I over-
looked putting the notice in the
paper, so hereafter there will be
no discount on the bills, yet all
bills must be paid by the 10th of
the month, otherwise connections
will be discontinued. I am try-
ing to figure out a way in which
I can give a larger minimum of
water, etc., and just as soon as
the new machinery has been in-
stalled and I am in position to
give the service that you expect
and should have, I will try to get
this matter adjusted. Assuring
you that I have no desire other
than to give you firstclass service
just as soon as I can get the new
machinery installed, I am, with
best wishes to the public.
T. W. Robertson,
* Pres. Sabinsl Utilities Co.
