at that late hour of the night he wdr-

nocesssary atrangemt-nls for the con
pie. and asked her to keep it quiet
lest the young folks there give them
a rice bath on their return
It leaked out. however, as it always

There is nothing succeeds like sin I
cess," said Meaars. Pierce and Atns
den to a reporter today when inter
viewed about the organization of the
Owl ixidgo last Friday night
"We came to the city to do it and
we have proved the value of the Owl
Order as u protective society to over
two hundred of Matagorda County s
best citizens," they said ' However,
great lias Veen our success in proving
i the value of this order to those par-
I licipating in a ditect way, we ate not
satisfied, and expect to prove to the
general public in an indirect way the
things the Order of Owls have dom
| for its w idows and orphans, by put-
ting On a real Owl show al the Opera
House next Thursday afternoon
night. If there is anyone left
doubt about the benefits your com-
munity may derive from this order
' let them see this show. The money
we pay out for insurance, of course,
leaves the community at the first, hut.
<U lOs
soon returns in man.' fold to relieve
W U M
the heartaches and burdens of the
widowed mothers and orphan chil-
dren in time of need, and that we pay
in to start the order is an endless
i chain going its rounds Co meet tho|
burdens of distress in other eomnnin
j itles and homes."
They further stated that they had
contemplated a rousing meeting of all
the real owls next Friday night, but
owing to their inability to secure a
hall for that dale they were forced to
postpone the next meeting until Fri-
day night, the 21st, and on that date
-they expected to increase the already
large membershii> by at least fifty p< c
cent as all the members had prom
sold to bring in at least one more
n ember to their new nest
The charter was not closed at the
last meeting on account of some mem-
bers having friends that they hoped
to bring in at this nex‘ meeting night.
Th* charter will then close and all
vv io Join after that time will have
to pay the full fair, they said
When asked about their new oil
proposition by the reporter, Mr. Pierce
replied. That it was only a side show
to 'he real Owl show and from the
inr'iip'ies they had received by phone
and in person since the interview of
l last week it would be n short act, as
they only had thirty-five blocks to
I sell at the start and up to this date a
largo per cent of thorn had been sold
I Xml why not," ho said, "when you can
: buy land in a real oil field and thrib-
ble your money on it the day the first
location is filed if you want to sell,
and not wait for oil to be found.”

»’• 8.—You might announce the
death of Mr*. L. E. Edwards, the 2nd
of February, of our city It might in-
terest some of the Collegeport people,
as she formerly lived there. She died
with pneumonia ) J. L, M.
We take pleasure in stating that we have made arrange-
menls for a very much enlarged business for the ensuing
year. And with this purpose in view we have added sev-
eral merited lines to our ready-to-wear departments, both
for men and women. With our soldier boys arriving home,
ready to doff their uniforms, that they have worn with so
much credit to themselves and country—but now demand-
ing snappy and fashionable suits—we, to meet these re-
quirements with just such goods as they shall want, have
made connections with dependable manufacturers for just
such goods—as their fancy shall require. All we ask, is to
bo given a chance to show you our ability to please. New
goods are arriving daily and will 1>p coming in quantity
soon. Our advance things in Ladies’ Hats, Shirt Waist*.
Drosses. Pumps and Oxfords are now on display. We have
the new patters in Liberty Silks, Tanford’s Batins, Cotton
and Silk Ginghams now in stock or to arrive in a few days.
Remember reductions in the price of many goods have
been decidedly large and it is in .vour interest to investigate.
a letter to Carey Smith, editor
of The Tribune, Congrea*man J J.
.Mansfield, whose home is in Colum-
bus, writes that he will visit Texas
|<»on lifter Mareh I and will visit Bay
' ity soon after his arrival.
Congressman Mansfield has
very busy and much interested in the
improvement of the Colorado River
and will perhaps give some personal
attention to the condition of the river
