ner over, there was a gathering
of hosts and hostesses at the pa-
vilion, where addresses were de-
livered by Judge John I. Guion
and Hon. T. H. Stone. Judge
GUion established himself thor-
oughly with the Houstonians by
declaring in his opening sen-
tence that Houston is the great-
est commercial city in Texas, and
that it has lived up to its name
and traditions financially, moral-
ly, commercially and socially. He
gave an interesting summary
concerning the records made by
Ballinger and said Ballinger did
not extended to visitors the keys
to the city because it is “a wide
open town.” He declared that
Ballinger had a warm heart and
a glad hand for every class of
citizen except the professional
politician. He concluded by quo-
ting from an old colored woman
who had declared she didn’t see
why the geod La wd made such a
good town as Ballinger and made
it so far from Houston. He de-

dared that Runnels county’s
chief asset was 3500 tillers of
the soil, who in 1906 produced
and marketed in Ballinger 40,000
bales of cotton, the largest re-
ceipts by wagon enjoyed by any
cotton market m the world for
the year mentioned. Ballinger’s
pnblic utilities, including water
plant, sewerage system, lighting
plant and proposed street paving,
were commented upon, and at-
tention was called to the remark-
able fact that during the past 15
years there has not been a com-
mercial failure in Ballinger.
Responding to the sentiment
of Judge Guion, Hon. T. H.
Stone declared that the primary
object of the trade excursion
was not to advertise Houston,
but to associate with the people
of Ballinger and elsewhere. In
his tribute to the ladies present,
Mr. Stone declared that if they
took advantage of leap year op-
portunities during the stay of the
Houston visitors, the county
clerk would have the busiest day
in his history. \
The stay of The Chronicle rep-
resentative in Ballinger was
made especially pleasant by
courtesies received at the hands
of Mr. A. W. Sledge of the Ban-
ner-Leader an Messrs. P. E.
Truly, James B. Harris and oth-
er members of the editorial force
of the Ballinger Daily Ledger
and the Runnels County Ledger.
The Daily Ledger issued a special
illustrated souvenir edition in
honor of the Houston visitors,
copies of which were placed at
every plate at the dinner tables.
Mr. A. W. Sledge of the Banner-
Leader supplied the visitors with
copies of an excellent illustrated
souvenir entitled ‘‘Prosperous
Ballinger.”
During the afternoon a: Ballin-
ger open house was kept by the
Citizens National Bank. Punch
was served and badges and vio-
lets distributed. Presiding at
the punch bowl were Mrs. Dan
Moser, Mrs. W. J. Buck, Mrs.
M. E. Taylor, while the badges
and violets were attached to coat
lapels by Misses Estelle Under-
wood, Clara Malone, Ella Ward,
Anna Van Doren, Nellie Miller,
Louise Orgain, Katie Ray Ward.
At Ballinger Mr. John A.
Weeks, president of the Com-
mercial Club, was especially ac-
tive in providing entertainment
for the Houstonians.
At Rowena, between Miles and
Ballinger, a stop was made by
request of citizens of the town
long enough to allow Mr. A. C.
Homann, cashier of the First
State bank of Rowena, an oppor-
tunity for supplying the special
with some interesting literature
concerning Rowena. Rowena
was named for a daughter of the
Mr. Milep who gave his name to
the now flourishing city of Miles.
I did not think he would live
until morning. At last I thought
of my mother’s remedy, Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy, which
we gave, and it afforded prompt
relief, and now, three days later,
he has fully recovered. Under
the circumstances I would not
hesitate a moment in saying
that Chamberlain’s Cough Rem-
edy, and than only, saved the
life of our dear little boy.

B Cheuicle Mu Talks of Ballinger
and Her People.
e Houston Chronicle of last
Sunday contained a write up of
the Houston Trade Excursion and
the territory through which they
traveled. Following is the men-
tion made of Ballinger:
‘‘Bountiful Ballinger welcom-
ed Hungry Houston at noon
Thursday.” That’s about the
way Hon. T. H. Stone paraphras-
ed the Ballinger Daily Ledger,
which had called in ‘‘apt allitera-
tion’s artful aid” in describing
the reception planned in honor
of the Houston business men.
The reception occurred at Bal-
linger park, where a network of
tables supplied the hungry guests
with an elaborate repast of bar-
becue, coffee and pastry. Din-
