Clerk •• Buchanan since have learned that the market for
their product is limited, and that
in order to achieve the best re-

the crop over the Season rather
than dump it all upon the mar-

disappointment to onion men, in

Rosa Oldham, aged 17 years, 4:

served the market are of the
opinion that it has been disap-
pointing solely because the pro-
duct was marketed in a short
space of time and at the earliest
possible moment. The Texas
onion crop is the earliest to reach
the market. Naturally the first
shipments bring very handsome
prices. But the demand is limit-
ed and the Texas supply has been
greater thtyi the demand at the
opening of the season. «
The remedy that has been sug-
gested to the onion planters of
this section is to keep the mar-
ket supplied in the future, but not
to glut it. - The lesson has been
learned in California and in all
other sections where truck and
fruit is grown for export. The
Texas growers will engage a traf-
fic manager.
Representatives of the truck in-
dustry in this city are not inclin-
ed to the belief that the present
disappointing result in the onion
business will * cause the truck
growers to abandon the onion
proposition, but it will help with
the argument - that diversifica-
tion is the safest and most profit-
able course to pursue in truck
growing as well as in general ag-
riculture.
Everything to be found in a General Merchandise Store
dynamo at the mill to furnish
his own lights, and he proposes
to donate fifty lights to the Carn-
ival during the day, provided a
wire is extended from town to
the mill. He further agrees tOCAjl
take fifty lights from the city fol-
lowing the Carnival, provided a C
meter is furnished him. His fur-
nishing the fifty lights will be
generous, as the fire boys would* '
otherwise bave to pay for run- .7
ning the light plant during the- j
day time, as the lights are abso-
lutely necessary for the electric ;
theatres that are among the
Brownie Balloon Company’s at-
tractions. The city will also be.
the gainer, for after running the
wire to the mill, which can be -J
done at a nominal expense, and
purchasing a meter, they gain a
first-class customer whose trade -
will soon pay for all expenditures
made.
At a meetfng of the executive
committee Tuesday night the
following program was rough
drafted: ^
Monday September 18, the
Big Street Fair and Canuval be-
gins. Balloon Ascension, and
parachute leap will be of the
day’s features.
Tuesday, September 10, at
10:30 there will be a grand par-
ade of decorated floats and ve-
hicles. All visiting bands aett
firemen will be in the procession.
Thursday, September 2D, will
bS^Firemen’s Day. Hose laying
contest aud grand ball at night «
at the* opera house. *-• jl
Friday, September 22, every-
thing must be entered for exhi-
bition. Stock and poultry to be
passed on Saturday. Nothing
can be entered for -prizes jjIWT
10:30 Friday morning, . .tm
Saturday, September, 23, gen- "
eral good time for everything.
As stated above, it msimpiy a *
rough draft, as Wednesday' has
to be arranged for. By* next * •
week the Herald hopes to give ^
the program in practically its
entirety.

—The Haljetsville base ball
team went to Yoakum Sunday,
crossing bats with the Lyons
club of that city and getting .de-
feated by a s£ore of 6 to 4. Hal-
letsville secured Sandford and
McMurrey of Shiner as a bat-
tery, and Steve Holchak, Jr., of
that city also played with the
local boys. The game was a
fairly good one and was any-
one’s game up to the last inning.
The Yoakum boys treated their
visitors in a clever, hospitable
manner and the courtesies were
thoroughly appreciated. This
makes two games played by
these teams, each having a game
to its credit, and the tie will
doubtless be played off some
time in the future.

—There is a dog in Yoakum
going by the rather disreputable
name of “Bum” who is known
from one end of the Lap system
to the other. "Bum” is a com-
mon looking cur of abont ten or
twelve years of age, but in many
other ways he is uncommon. I
Railroading has a peculiar fas-
cination for him and he is known
at every station on the main line
and its branches, traveling from
place to place in the varnished
cars and the more ordinary
cabooses. He is a great pet with
the railroad boys who cheerfully
grant him free passage and look j
after his bodily wants. “Bum”1
moves when thespirit seizes, often
staying at some place for months
at a time, then taking passage
suddenly to some other point. He i
is a railroad dog strictly and j
glories in it. .
