■V
When, in 1707, it was proposed
that the people of Beattie iaaue
bonds for t£e purpose of build-
ing sad helping to maintain a ru-
ral independent school the pro-
ject met with strong opposition.
Not only were men opposed to it
for pecuniary reasons, but there
were many good men who'be
Hewed that the building of an in
dependent , school at Beattie
would be an infringement on the
»v
rights and interests of adjoining, ihe hearty co-operation of the
tunities ana were thus prepared
to enter school the following Nov-
ember with renewed zeal in the
pursuance of their work.
We will now speak briefly of
the third term, which recently
closed.
Through the able assistance of
Miss Pearl Stephenson and the
spirited support of the patrons
by and with the steady guidance
of the couty" superintendent and
Whether a woman confined in
*, lunette cay In pn yen he aued for
districts.
It ia the purpose of this article
to show howjn the face of a stub-
born resistance and in spite of
many other difficulties the people
of Beattie independent school dis-
trict have launched an institution
that bids lair to hecome not only
one of the best but the leading
village school in the county.
As is often the case* in the es-
tablishing of a new. institution
one of the principal reasons for
opposing the school was lack of
confidence in its success. People
hesitated to support it for this
reason, but there were men
enough who saw the wisdom of
pushing the proposition to a re-
ality to insure its establishment
After the building was com-
pleted and the first term of
school opened men who had with,
held their influence for the last
named reason became support
era of the institution. Putjpg
this first year Miases Smith and
Brewer did much in the capacity
of teachers to further the inter-
est of the school.
In the fall of 1908 Prof. Lee
Jenkins and Miss Pearl Steph-
enson opened the second term
and pursued to its close a veiy
fruitful school year. Under
their guidance the pupils became
more closely united in the effort
to build up their personal oppor
divorce on tbe chargeof abandon
ment and desertion, is a ques
tion which ia puzzling local legal
lights. The woman in the case
is Mrs. Ella Daniels. She is the
wife of a Marlin, Texas, man; and
has been detained at the
Southwestern Insane Asylum
for over three years, the legal
limit set by Texas divorce laws
for desertion. Since insanity
constitutes no ground for di-
vorce, the woman's husband,
wishing to free himself, had to
charge abandonment for three
years in his petition.- The quCS;
tion now ia, can the forced deten-
tion of a person in a lunitic
asylum be construed into
desertion? 1
The protracted meeting at the
Missionary Baptist tabernacle
was brought to a.close last Sun-
day at the 11 o’clock service'"
There were a number of conver
tions. Six candidates were bap
tised Sunday! evening by the
pastor, M. E. Davis, near the
bridge on the South Leon.—Gus-
tine Gazette.
Quite a number of Comanche
n
couuty men are investigating the
hog proposition, and this county
promises to engage in hog rais-
ing on a*-extensive scale. - At the
present price of pork there is
big -profit in markoting nogs.
And the price is not apt to come
down any time soon, according to
the best authority. ________
t school board the writer has been
enabled to give the people of
Beattie a successful school year.
Beginning in November, 1909,
the enrollment reached 109 by
January 15. The average attend-
ance steadily increased, reaching
its maximum near the close of
the school. Throughout the en-
tire year students and . patrons
faithfully assisted the board and
faculty to make the school sec-
ond to none, and we believe they
were in a great measure success-
ful. i
A patriotic schcyil board has
been busy in overcoming difficul-
ties and interest has steadily in-
creased since 1907. Practically
every reason for opposing the in-
stitution has been eliminated
With the elimination of difficul-
ties which stood in their way ev-
ery opposer has become a sup-
porter.
We see no reason why Beattie
should cease to press the battle.
With the host* of auxilliary
forces that have flocked to the
fight a rural high school is no
longer a mere possibility but has
beqome the watch word of -4very
loyal citizen. Thoughtful people
everywhere are not hesitating to
say that the hope of sducation in
the country is the rural high
school, and Beattie should be the
first to establish such an institu
tion. B. B. DuBohe.
—Th»; Texaz- Central railroad
property now belongs to the
Missouri Kansas and Texas road
When R. H. Baker of Austin,
closed a deal for thej property
last month, there was no ques-
tion in the minds of those who
watch railroad cloings but that he
was buying the Central in fur
some large system of roads.
The gtock of the Central amounts
to four million dollars, and ef
this amount the M. K. & T. now
owns $3,856,400.
Forty negao families of Tem-

grants to each negro family 25

CVn’t Afford to Die
The'person who thinks it coats
too much to live should try dying
and see where he will land. He
will find that it is much cheaper
to live than to die. Flowers^ coat
more than steak and eggs. It
coats 15c for a shave when yOu
are alive and $5 when you can’t
kick on the price. Twenty-five
dollars will buy a cloth overcoat,

for 25c an hour, but when he

times the sum. The liveryman
will haul you to the theatre for
50c and to the graveyard for $10.
The saloon ^keeper will fill your
hide with liquor for 50c while
the embalmer will charge $10
for the job. Come to think about
it we find the coat of staying
here quite reasonable- Really

leave.—Kirkaville Journal.

Producers
To promote the prosperity of a com-
munity we must increase our wealth. To
Increase wealth, we must create property,
increase the value of property, and move
property into the community. The farm,
the mine and the fisheries are the natural
wealth creating lines of industry. Thty
create property. The .building i f fac-
tories, tajr.oatls, opening minis and
farms add weajjh to adjoining property.
They increase the value of pr -rr/v. The

railroads 1 factoritj taring properly
with them-.— They move property into the
State. So view it as you wilt, to be pros-
perous we must create property, increase
the value of property and move property
into the community. The man who in-
cfjSses onr wealth thmnfh either of
these ctiannels it a producer and is a
pul.lie benefactor. There are other im
portant factory in the development of a
community, hut production is the ba-is

in discussing economic subjects it is
customary to divide the people into two
classes—the producer and the consumer.
The farmer is the most prominent type
of the Texas producer.
