o’clock Mr. Selvidge found the build-

into flames by the wind. Mr. Sel-
vidge called the Fire Department,
which responded quickly, but the
dry, frame building was then in
flames and it was some time before
the blaze could be extinguished.
There was no insurance op the
structure which Mr. and Mrs. Sel-
vidge bought from W. J. Lingel, 121-2
years ago. The building was about
16 years old and had been the lo-

Lately it had been used as a store-

Everyone who tried caught fish
here Monday. Cool weather and
the dying down of the high wind
had prevailed for several days, caus-
ed the fish to come running in to
Middle Ground, Fishpole, No. 1

other fishing places.
Most of the speckled trout were
caught by Houston people down here
for a day’s sport. Last week, Archie
McWherter, of the East End Drug
store at Houston and Mr. Rettig
head of the Rettig Ice Cream com-
pany, Houston, brought in 50 pounds

Mrs. R. D. Dowdy has been an-
nounced by Mrs. H. R. Bennett
chairman of the Texas City Library
commitee, as ' permanent librarian
' of the local institution, succeeding
Miss Peggy Dent who has entered
the College of Industrial Arts at
Denton.
Mrs. Dowdy is also the successor
of the Misses Queen Anderson and
Lazelle Wilcox who served tempor-
arily.
Mrs. Dowdy was appointed to the
position with the unanimous vote
of the Library committee and it is
the concensus of opinion that she
will make a splendid head for the
institution. She is a very popular
and personable young woman and
her training as a teacher in the lo-
cal schools for five years and pre-
viously as a research worker and
sub-librarian before she came here,
leads all to have confidence in her
fitness to serve in her present po-
sition. •
Following the summer lull in the
number of books distributed. Mrs
H. R. Bennett expects the number
of patrons of the library to increase
during the fall months and antici-
pating this she has added a number
of splendid books of fact and fic-
tion.
The library is open from 2 to 7
each day except Sunday.

Other farm flock demonstrations
whose records prove that good poul-

Yaws and E. M. Cole of Alta Loma;
T. C. Scruggs, Algoa, and Joe Luhn-
ing, Texas City. The A. L. Short
flock was sold during the month of
August and no report will be is-
sued until later when Mrs. Short
is coming back with a young flock.
Cotton activity is continuing at
a fair rate at the port of Texas
City.
Monday, 1722 bales came in and
933 were assembled against cargoes
to be lifted out. On Tuesday, Gen-
eral Manager Sam Walker of the
Texas City Cotton Terminals Inc.,
reported receipts of 48 cars for that
day and other shipments were due
in later in the week for the last
half sailings.
Tuesday, the Norwegian steamer
Fernglen, Wilkins and Biehl, agents,
took out a cotton cargo for Kobe,
Japan.
Boats expected in for sailings be-
fore the month end are the Texas
Oceanic steamship Colorado Springs,
clearing for Liverpool and Manches-
ter; a Lykes Bros.-Ripley boat for
Havre, Ghent and Roterdam; a
Lykes Bros.-Ripley boat for Bremen,
and the Niceto de Larrinaga which
was due last week.
A new switch engine was put on
by the railroad company this week
to facilitate the cottor movement.
It is reported that 16 ships were
out in the Ways off here Sunday
awaiting cargoes which were not
forthcoming as both grain and cot-
ton are moving slower than in past
seasons.

LA MARQUE—Two large wolves
measuring six feet each, were killed
near here last week by a party o'
fifteen or twenty La Marque men
who organized a searching party
for the animals which have been in-
vading poultry yards in this vicinity
Complaints have been made for
some time, and in order to rid
themselves of the wolves, several
citizens of this city arranged for
the importation of a pack of wolf-
hounds from Calhoun County. The
dogs were accompanied by their
owners, who are professional wolf
hunters.
The animals were killed between
here and Texas City., being run down
and caught by the dogs.

Writing about the Mississippi
section of the Old Spanish Trail,
L. H. Daingerfield explains the
reason for its beauty. Perhaps
there is a lesson for the Gulf
section of Texas in Dainger-
field’s lines:
The traveler along this sec-
tion of the trail attempts to an-
alyze the soul of that which al-
lures him. There is something
about it which fairly haunts
him, that calls to him in an in-
articulate way. He is city-
bound, perhaps, and the rhap-
sodies of nature are no longer
intelligent to him. Yet he faint-
ly hears the Druid’s call adown

The attempt to revive the Galves-
ton county fair, which was schedul-
ed to have been held Oct. 17-21 al
the County Park at League City
was abandoned last week by Henr3
Mackay, president of the Fair Asso-
ciation, due to inability to secure
needed financing.
Lack of time in which to pre-
pare exhibits and to work out a
comprehensive program of enter-
tainment were also cited as reason:
for the giving up of the undertaking
But they were minor ones.
. Several meetings had ben helc
by the Fair Association prior tc
the decision, and a' splendid Fail
program had been tentatively work-
ed up. However, those whose job
it was to help get and provide fail-
ed to come through, it is under-
stood. It was finally decided, Mr
Mackay stated, that it was best tc
forget about the Fair this year.
A county celebration is now be-
ing planned for Nov. 11, at which
time the Mainland Chamber of
Commerce will commemorate its
organization.
Hocpie says he met a kind soul
at Clarksdale, Tenn., about mid-
night the other night who asked
where he was going to sleep. Wil-
liams replied that he would find a
room somewhere. With that the
stranger gave him 85c and took him
down to the City hall where Hoopie
had a ‛ nice cell in the jail. Al-
though Hoopie didn't say so it is
to be presumed that the stranger
was a policeman. On the other
hand where would a policeman get
85c all at one time and why should
he stake a hoop roller?
Meeting at Dickinson Wednesday
with Dr. E. P. Howell, J. M. Parke,
J. G. Bland and other Mainland
citizens extremely interested in se-
curing adequate telephone service
in various county towns; C. W. May,
plant superintendent of the Texas
Associated Telephone company, and
W. W. Hunt, of Goose Creek, district
manager of the same company, ap-
prised the Mainland committee of
plans which will be put into effect
immediately to give Galveston
county* telephone service equal to
any in Texas.
The two executives of the Tele-
phone company assured the Dickin-
son men that four cars of creosoted
poles are on their way to Dickinson;
that a car of hardware, and other
specialties necessary for the building
of lines had been ordered and just
as soon as the poles arrived, a pole
setting crew would be set to work
to entirely rebuild the outside plants
of the company in Dickinson, Hitch-
cock, Alta Loma, Arcadia, Webster
and League City.
Mr. May told the Galveston
County Sun that all estimates cov-
ering the rebuilding of the telephone
plants in this county had been okey-
ed by the Chicago office of his
company and that the investment
required to give good service would
be in the neighborhood of $40,000.
Look Ahead 10 Years
“Our company is looking forward
ten years,” declared Mr. May. “We
are instituting plans now based on
sceintific study so that it will only
be necessary to make slight addi-
tions in our physical properties to
keep abreast of the growth we an-

Requirements of the state high-
awy commission for its cooperation
in paving Highway 58, are so dras-
tic as to require virtually a com-
plete re-routing of the road, Com-
missioner W. T. Smith of Friends-
wood reported to the county' com-
mission last week.
The Highway commission asks
that Galveston County supply a
120-foot right of way and that the
highway at no place be less than
50 feet from the right of way of any
railroad company. In view of the
fact that Highway 58 parallels the
Santa Fe tracks, approaching them
as close as 14 feet at some points
it will be necessary to route the
highway further from the tracks, it
was pointed out.
Difficulty arises also from the
impossibility of obtaining a 120-
foot right of way through Hitch-
cock, Alta Loma and possibly Ar-
cadia. At Hitchcock it would be
necessary to purchase 80 feet of r
business block 100 feet deep, Mr
Smith said. Compliance with these
demands is the only way of carry-
ing through the project, he empha-
sized. and added that it will be nec-
essary to get immediate co-opera -

The Christian lias Denind him the resources of the infinite and
the eternal. It is when a man has nothing to depend upon but the >
evidence of his five senses that he sits down in perplexity and dis-
couragement. It is when he can trust in the unseen and the super-
natural that he has courage to go forward in spite of the difficulty.
“We can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth us.” Seem-
ing defeat will be turned into victory for the faithful. “All things
work together for -good to those who love God.” Do you believe these
sayings? Then act as though you believed them. The most despicable
man on earth is the man who calls himself a son of the Highest, and
yet goes about among his fellows in fear and trembling, apologizing
for his existence, and predicting disaster for the cause of Christ.
