Since 1894, when tliese two teams
light the battle that started the
ud, there have been only two inter-
ptii.ns to break the continuity of
mes, each of which has seen at-
ndcnce and rivalry grow. The
•st break followed the first game,
1894, and lasted until 1898 when
e second game was played. The
her break was from 1911 until
>15. From 18'.»8 until 1911, how-
er, the two elevens met at least
ice each year and often twice in

(From Zavalla County Sentinel.)
With all likelihood the peo-
ple of the! Winter Garden District
will be afforded the convenience of
natural gas within the coming year,
j In fact, a right-of-way for gas has
been surveyed as far as Crystal City
and the actual laying of the mains
will begin as soon as signers can be
obtained to justify sufficient business
for the Tri-Texas Gas Utilities Com-
pany to do so. |
A committee from the Tri-Texas
Utilities Gas Conrpany consisting of
J. G. Pundt, owner of the gas wells,
Mr. McKeirnan, financier; Harry
Barnhardt, attorney, met with the
local Chamber of Commerce this week
and placed their proposition before
that body. In part this is their
proposition: Gas will be furnished
pumpers over the district at a cost
of only twelve dollars per year per
horse-*power or on an acre basis of
83.00 per acre up to 40- acres, $4.50
for at least 80 acres and $1.00 above
that number. Two hundred signers
were required for the entire Winter
Garden District before action will be
taken. M. M. Davidson was ap-
pointed chairman of a committee to
work with representatives of the Tri-
Texas Utilities Company in securing
these signatures in Zavalla County.
For the first 200 signerr no addi-
tional service charge will be made,
but after that number is secured
charges will be made.
The City of Crystal City will bo
furnished with gas at I lit regular do-
j roestic i.itbs if the proposition goes
j over.
According to Mr. Pundt the piping
| of the gas into the Winter Garden
I will require an expenditure of more
! than a million dollars. This would
| indicate that this company means
business and are in a position to
give absolute service.
GOOD ROADS Ml-.AX LONGER LIFE
That good roads mean longer life
to motor cars is generally admitted
but that the actual benefit measures
a certain definite percent is less
commonly known. A recent bulletin
of the American Road Builders’
Association states that- the average
life of motor vehicles in the United
Spiti-s has been increased 14 percent,
largely an a result u£ good loads.
As vital as the good road is to the
car, it is equally vital to the com-
munity. Motorists avoid had roads
whenever they can. No roadway
however direct can lie sought at the
expense of safety, comfort and
speed. The community which does
r t keep tip its roads will meet the
same fate as the community of the
p. t v. c!i, it, its formative period,
ushered the fate of being "off” the
main railroad line. Such a town will
die, commercially.
Traffic will veer over to the good
road which is kept a good road, and
the stream of commerce which fol-
lows in its wake will be lost.
Good roads mean long life, not
only to your car, but to your com-
munity and you.
Any community on a direct route
across country should be alive to
the possibilities of traffic and do all
in its power to see that the condi-
tions are favorable for the passing
motorist.
Good roads kept in good condition
are the hc-t lure for the traveler.
Not o-ly does he appreciate the
coin f. t t cy aff< 1, hut he knows
they add to the life of his car.
