Did you ever wondei’ when your
doctor writes a prescription what
wonderful opportunities it offers
for substitution, how it may permit
the -use of impure drugs and m
one will be the wiser, only it will
fool the doctor, harm the patient,
and pick your pocket? You owe
it to your sick to be careful where
you take your prescriptions.

The many friends of Ross Wharton^
foreman on Judge Sims’ ranch were
shocked this morning to learn of his
sudden death.
Two weeks ago he was operated on
at the Bay City Hospital for chronic
intestinal obstruction and Tuesday
evening returned to his home appar-
ently recovered. That night he devel-
oped symptoms of acute stoppage of
the bowels and though an attempt
was made to relieve' it surgically, the-
condition proved to be inoperable, the
patient dying in a few hours from
the toxic effects of the obstruction.
He was a young man of 23 years and
highly esteemed by all who knew him.

Beaumont, Texas, July 11.—For the
first time in the history of the gulf
coast rice industry the first sack of
rice of the season has been bought
by a Texas rice' mill, and for the first
time in the history of the industry
the first sack of rice on the market
was Japan, instead of Honduras.
T. F. Ryan, manager of the Port Ar-
thur Rice Mill, on July 11th bought
from the Southern Rice Growers’ As-
sociation one sack of Japan rice, for
$25. The rice belonged to Bert Stan-
sel, of Gueydan, Vermillion Parish,
La. The sack weighed 189 pounds
years 1903, 1904 and 1913. All the
sales were made at auction, and the
price paid, as in the case of the first
bale of cotton, has generally been fic-
titious. The owner of the first sack
this year has recently been elected a
director of the Southern Rice Growers?
Association.

great Civic Parade will be held.
This pageant will represent an ex-
penditure of thousands of dollars in
an effort to present the' history of
Galveston, past, present and future.
Allegorical, yet comprehensive, this
parade bids fair to surpass any of
the carnival parades witnessed in the
south in many years. Numerous
floats of wonderful beauty and thou-
sands of people yill participate in this
greatest venture of modern pageantry.
The art display will be one of the
greatest features with famous paint-

PALACIOS, Texas, July 9.—Two
special trains, one a double-header,
with nine' coaches and a baggage car,
and the other with seven coaches, be-
sides two extra coaches on the regular
train today, landed the largest crowd
that has ever attended a Baptist
Young People’s Union encampment on
the grounds here. In fact, the larg-
est crowd ever seen in Palacios is
here for the encampment, which open-
ed this evening for a two weeks’ ses-
sion.
The opening sermon was by Rev.
George W. Truett of Dallas.
The speakers and leaders
program who have already
are: Rev. George W. Truett
las, Dr. S. J. Reid of Belfast, Ireland;
Rev. F. C. McConnell of Waco, Rev.
I. J. Van Ness of Nashville, Tenn,;
President J. C. Hardy of Baylor Female
College, Rev.H. Beauchamp of Dallas,
Mrs. J. H. Snow of Dallas, Rev. John
Matagorda News.
Lorino Bros, have added the last of
the mochinery for the canning factory,
and will soon be ready for vegetables
to can. Their purpose is to can all
they can get the next few weeks and
by that experience help determine the
cost and what they can afford to pay
for the produce. It is their desire to
pay as much as possible to induce the
farmers and gardners to piant toma-
toes, okra, corn, etc., for the cannery.
The enterprise of this firm can be
made to profit Matagorda and her
farmers and gardeners to plant toma-
that the growers, or those so situated
that they can become' growers, will
manifest the proper appreciation of
the machinery for the canning factory,
ting in the plant at their own expense
and risk, without any guarantee or
assurance from the people. Now, the
people should give all the practicable
help possible. E^erybo^y get ready
to plant fall stuff. The markets for
fall garden truck is much better than
for spring or summer truck, and Mata-
gorda soil and climate are well adapt-
ed to the greatest possible success in
that line.
Mr. Lon Bernerd and his sawmill
manager, Mr. Woods are due here to-
day or tomorrow to confer about the
location for the sawmill which it is
proposed to erect in Matagorda to saw
up the timber on several tracts of land
up the river. A box and crate factory
is also under consideration.
Moberly Brothers are building a new
shop on the corner of the home lot of
O. R. Moberly. Their engine' and
manufacturing business has grown so
rapidly of late that new quarters and
new machinery p,re required. They
will maintain their present repair shop
on the river for the present, and will
devote some of their time to the manu-
facture' of their patented acetylene
light generating plants which is an
improvement over others in use.
The Bay View House has at last
been safely deposited on its new loca-
tion on the Bay front south of W. J.
Phillips’ store, the White moving force
landing the third installment, the kit-
chen, there today. Mr. Culvter will
put carpenters and painters to work,
and have it improved in appearance,
and ready for the new lessee Mr. John
H. Berg, within thirty days. Mr. Berg
will move into it and run a hotel right.
