—The list of the Halletsv
boy’s who have left the old to
within the past two years to
carve out their own careers in the
world which was published in our
last issue, aroused considerable
interest. The majority ot our

copv of the Herald and Planter,
around to our office this week
for inspection. That was a little
over twenty three years ago and
the paper was then in its 9th
volume with S. Lee Kyle as., edi-
tor. . ;
A perusal of its columns is in-
teresting and a few extracts will
doubtless prove interesting to
our older readers and possibly
their children also.
A glance at its local advertis-
ing columns shows the names of

—W. L. Martin of Sweet Home
was in the city Friday shaking
hands with bis friends. Mr. Mar-
tin was in San Antonio when the
yellow fever scare originated and
took the first train out. Owing
to the quarantine regulations he
went to Fort Worth where he re- ji
mained eight days before return-

ty from the detention camp.

profitably in Fort Worth visit-

Only General Bagby and S. C.

are still practicing law. Qlintb-
us Ellis, Je3se Green and W. H.
Crain have, passed to the bourne
that knows, no return. Crain
gained prominence before his
death, serving in the U. S> Con-
gressional halls. 'Volney Ellis is
in Lockhart, M. V. Kinnison in
Weatherford and John Woods in
San Antonio;
Local news was conspicuous bv
its absence the paper being filled
with miscellany, legal notices;
candidates’ announcements and
a lengthy, account of the demo-
cratic coiimty Convention. The
only local item worthy of repro-
duction is a Schulenburg special
stating that: Cranz & Kessler
had bought the first new bale of
cotton marketed there which
was brought in by Gaesar Stev-
ens. It weighed 490 pounds and
the price paid was 13% cents.
Mr. Kuykendall in speaking of
that time says ttelftbe prairie
north of Hallet^llfle, now its
richest portion, was then practi-
cally unsettled. A few; farmers
wete just opening the Moravia
section. It was before the rail-
roadfpenetrated this section anc
Yoakum and Shiner ; were not
thought of.' Moulton,. Sweet
Home and Sublime were
in existence but their > former
sites are deserted,•• Leaving Hal-
letsville tbe first Village between
here and San Antonio wasCuero
Without railroad J;' connection
and depending .on communica-
tion with the ontsidp world by
stage line, this section was wild
and woolly, a fact which can be
quickly corroborated when some
of the old timers grow remines-
cent. Now in the short •span , 0f
less than 23 years we are an Old
and staid community with the
finest farming properties in
South Texas and with as law
abiding and intelligent class of
people as can be found back in
..the New England states which
were settled several ; centuries
since.
W. L.. Ed wards says he has
five acres to devote to the chick-
en business and is going to use
the same. If there is anything
that beats hogs,''it’s poultry.
There isgood money to be pock-
eted where the hens can be in-
duced to lay. A Halletsville
man, says* the Herald, has in-
vented a patent hen nest which
be believes will revolutionize ithe
egg industry. He proposes to
make a best with a collapsi-
ble bottom, which will turn over
when the weight of an egg rests
on it, and the egg will badeposit-
ed in a receptacle underneath.
When the hen rises to look at
the egg and cackle, she will see
only a bare nest; resting under
tbe delusion that she had made
a miscue in laying, will settle
down for another lay. By this
ingenious device be believes he
can force Jxis old dominecks to
ay frbm two to teji eggs each per
day, and all he will have to do ft
gather the hen fruit and marked
t and wax fat on bis riches;—
Hatonia Record. >
The above would be all right
providing it were not an old
jaw. In Kansas, it is said, dives
a man who keeps his laying hens
in a large room, (about.50x50),
without windows. The room w
at all times pierfect dark. The
ingenious cuss has about thirty
electric lights in the room which
when turned on cause the hens
to imagine it is bright day and
they lay an egg. As soon as the
cackle is heard the tights are
'turned out one by one and the
lens go back to roost. In ten
minutes the performance is re-
peated. The man is reported as
rapidly becoming a millionaire.
