Waxahachie people who -av t " 1
Detroit Tigers and lo. al fans golne !
to Bell Branch Country club Thum
day afternoon were not sure but tha*
an expedition into Mexico had bee(
organized here and that the advance j
guard was off in automobiles to take-
up the trail or the ever elusiv.
Villa. The automobiles numbered
from ten to twelve and carried be-
tween forty and fifty men and ai
most as many guns and many round.
cf ammunition. It was vacation dav
for the Tigers after two weeks of
hard work and members of tin Bell
Branch Country club were tukiin’
them to the lake for an outing.
It was a delightful ride to the lake ■
and the guests enjoyed the pictur- |
esq tie scenery as well as a look at
the fertile Ellis county lands. Tin
Party arrived at the Country Club !
lake just before 2 o'clock. With 1
guides to show the way to the best
hunting reserves several smaller
parties took the field for a rabbit
hunt. Others took t> boats and
started out on the lake in search for
festive white perch or perhaps a bass.
The hunters had better luck than
did the fishermen. On :heir return
after a couple of hours heating the
brush they had a supply of twenty or
thirty rabbits including one big jack-
rabbit that was a sort of curio to
some of the hoys.
The regiment took up quarters a '
the Spalding camp across the wing
of the lake rather than at the club
house. Erwin Singleton and Sam
Stowers had been there for the whole
day with a corps of workers making j
ready for a mutton roast to give the !
visitors a taste of Waxahachie lios- ;
pitality. The visitors who gathered i
at camps before the appointed hour ;
for the feai;t to begin spent the time
at trapshooting in which Catcher
Stanago and “Goober" Patterson
were declared the real experts j
Stanage missed a very few of the 1
targets and “Goober” hit very few if
any.
It was about 5 o’clock when sup-
per was announced and it was a real
feast consisting of two great pots
of gumbo roast mutton pork beef
and the various accessories that go
to make up a camp feast. Beverages
were served that coaxed the lazy ap-
petites and kept the party for two
long hours about the well ladened
tables. It was 7:30 o’clock when the
party broke caiups and started for
town. The ride home was delightful
and both homefolks and visitors
were well entertained.

Members of the "Booster" Party

ings Exchanged.
About 11 o’clock today some hun-
dred or more enthusiastic town buil-
ders from Ferris traveling in twen-
ty-five automobiles and making a
tour of Ellis county today stopped
over tor a half hour in Waxahachie
to call attention to a big trades
(icy to be held at Ferris on April 3rd
and 4th. The excursionists were |
accompanied by the Waxahachie
Lone Star Band and they are plan-
ning to visit about fifteen of the hl-
lic county towns.
The newly organized Commercial
ciub 3t Ferris has planned a year s
campaign along the line of trade ad-
vancement and the creation of com-
munity Inter**! between Ferri- and
adjoining towns and they have de-
cided to pay a visit to the others and
r.sk the citizens of other towns to

visit them in order that t! ey may
better know their neighbors. In
other words the Ferris merchants
are working on the plan of team-
work asking the towns to join forces
in making Ellis county a better
county in which to live.
When the party drew up on the
south side of the public square the
hand played a lively air calling the
people out to greet the visitors
Waxahachie always extends a most
cordial welcome to visitors and her
reception to Ellis county visitors is
p.lwavs the heartiest. Mr. Lee P
Quaite gave ample assurance that the
visitors were welcome In a short
talk in which he introduced Superin-
tendent P U. Roark of the Perris
schools. Mr. Roark made a "boost-
er" talk which was greatly appreciat-
ed by both visitors and home folks
He said Ferris <*ople never came to
Waxahachie without a consciousness
ot the aid given Ferris in making it
a town of the importance it ha- gain-
ed. He declared Texas was the
grandest statu in the union Ellis
rounty the grandest cvunty Waxa-
hachle the grandest town. That of I
course tickled the home folks but |
he did not come here to talk wholly
. bout Waxahachie and he soon laun-
i Led upon a subject that w as near
ar.d dear to him. that was the pro- j
gre-alve Rule city of Ferris He
declared Ferris was a town of 30»'r‘ ;
people bo. ted of a $35990 High
chool building with fifteen teach-
ers and an enrollment of over 509.
He told about the principal indus-
try that of manufacture of brick I
sr.yiag enough brick was manufar- j
ured there each week to build a
ti i the size of Waxahachie. He
. a dec ared Ferria wa» the best
n i ral town of any In Texas. Mr»
Roark cto-ed hi.- talk with an invita-l
ti n for the pe pie to come to Ferris*
cn April 3 and 4 fo the trades day J
event.
He was followed by Mr Dick- *
■ ■ 1 ■■■ ■■
ey who wan likewise a very strong
town booster.
Many of the rars bore signs on
which were printed some booster say-
ing such as "There is not a dead one
in our town." After a half b ur'a
stay the excursion party started
again in an effort to cover the coun-
ty during the day.
