VOL. 12
Baptist To Hold
Camp Meeting
The committee on arrange-
ments, representing La Pr.yor,
Crystal City, Carrizo Springs,
Palo Blanco and Batesville, met
at La Pryor Tuesday and located
a place, three miles east from La
Pryor on the Nueces River, and
set the time for beginning the
Associational Camp Meeting on
August 17th.
Service management will be by
the Corresponding Secretary of
the Association and the pastor of
the Palo Blanco and Batesville
churches. The camping and pro-
vision committee is J. M. Wil-
liams of Palo Blanco and Babe
Williams of Carrizo Springs.
The committee solicits every
one to come. It is the hope of
the committee on service to find
work for all preachers, Christian
workers and those who wish to
become workers who will attend.
The committee on camping and
provision will find place for camp-
ers to locate tents, wagon sheets
and wagons. Cooks will be hired
and a large public table furnished
where every one will be fed with-
out cost to the eater. All you
have to look out for is your own
camping kit, and that need not
be at all expensive. The place
selected is ideal for comfort; good
spring, plenty of water and grass
for stock, an easy place to keep
stock—plenty of shade. It is a
fine place for an outing with noth-
ing to do but go to church and
rest between times. This is a
splendid opportunity for the tired

Your talents shall be shown.
Power grows on power,
So step by step improve;
Avoid the easy way—
The common groove.
On trained descernment
Fix your firmest thoughts;
Thus duty comes as pleasure
And not with trouble fraught.

A Correction
Last, week we made an awful
“bust,” and don’t know bow to
try to excuse ourselves for it.
We infered in an article last week
that, a county could not be created
with an area of less than “7000”
square miles, when, ns a matter
of fact, it should have read “700.”
as the area of Zavala county is
only 1,828 square miles. But he
that as it may the principle in-
volved is the same, and there is
not enough land in Zavala county
for two counties.
Railroads and Railroad Securities
'Company’s working force—edit-
or, manager, publisher, printer,
pressman, straight matter com-
positor, devil and all—feasted the
other day on a nice watermelon
furnished us by Mr. J. B. King
and for which we are thankful.
Mr. King said not mention his
watermelons, 1 hat lu* didn’t think
| they were worthy a mention; but
if h man can take a quarter acre,
and produce watermelons, canta-
loups, tomatoes, cucumbers,
ls>ans, pas and many other veg-
etable, not only for home con-
sumption but for market, it de-
serves mention, don’t you think?
Well, that’s what Mr. King has
done on his quarter acre.
The Choice of a Husband
is too important a matter for a
woman to Ik; handicapped by
weagness, bad blood or foul
breath. Avoed these kill-hopes
by taking Dr. King’s Life Pills.
New strength, fine complexion,
pure breath, cheerful spirit—
things that win men follow their
use. Easy, safe, sure. 25c at all

VALUE OF TEXAS RAILROADS EQUAL TO NINE STACKS
OF TWENTY DOLLAR GOLD PIECES PILED AS HIGH
AS OUR HIGHEST MOUNTAIN.
Railroads are the most vital force in human existence and arc
the strongest creative factor in the state’s wealth. The assessed
value of our railroads in 1911 was $345,000,000, which is equal
to nine stacks of twenty dollar gold pieces piled as high as Guuda-
lupe Peak, the highest mountain in Texas.
One-seventh of the assessed value of all property in Texas is
railroads, and new railroads in passing through a community add
$64,000 per mile to adjoining property and the distribution i3 free
and equitable.
The Texas Welfare Commission is investigating the subject
of railroads and railroad securities. R. C. Duff of Housl »n
is chairman of the sub-committee having the question under con-
sideration, * 11
A national bank is an absolutely safe place to put your
money, because the United States Government examines
regularly all National Banks.
Ask our patrons how we treat THEM.
Make OUR Bank YOUR Bank

the hands of a few men. If they
are the right kind we need have
no fear of the ultimate outcome.
