Mesdames Bert Carr, Amos Lee, E.
M. Williamson and G. A. Moore were
joint hostesses Wednesday in a “gar-
den party,” honoring their young
friend, Charlotte Langham Rowan, of
San Angelo. Charlotte stole a march
on her Bay City friends a few days
ago, by forming a marriage alliance
with a young man, Mr. Jesse Rowan,
and then coming home to tell the
news. Everybody was surprised, for
we didn’t even know that she was
thinking of the like, (but she was)
much less that she was already mar-
ried. However, her friends planned
this party for her, so that we might
have a chance to hear Charlotte tell
how it all happened. The lawn at the
home of Mrs. Lee was chosen for the
hospitality, and was all dressed up
for the occasion, but that light “April
shower” of May caused us to change
the plans, and change them quickly,
for rain or shine, the guests came on
time, and indoor entertainment was
enjoyed to the fullest. Among other
pleasantries, all were asked to tell in
writing how to train a “husband.” All
who have tried that stunt (and some
who haven’t) ’ wrote very elaborate
plans, all save the wife of our county
judge, and she said “that it cant be
done,” and so started our new bride
off on the “Matrimonial Sea” know-
ing that she can never accomplish the
job that she has so recently taken
upon herself.
A beautiful bower had been made
in the dining room, and six little girls
held the ribbons over the throne
chair, while one other little miss led
the bride of so few days into the
room and seated her. These little tots
might have been called “human but-
terflies” so dainty and sweet were
they in their “Denisen” dresses of
rainbow tints, and as they flitted here
and there in serving the honor guest
in her every wish. They were Misses

this George Horton to be all and more
than had been said of his sire—the
San Jacinto hero—brave, honest, hon-
orable. His fearlessness and trust in
another’s word cost him his life.
While sheriff of Jackson County he
arrested a man and took this man’s
word that he was unarmed. At the
door of the jail the criminal thrust a
weapon in his side and killed him.
Thus this George Horton the third
and brother were left in early life
fatherless. Unaided, they have been
climbing upward step by step. For
many years I learned of their success
through the Chronicle and friends,
but of late years I have seen their
progress, and glady hear Horton &
Horton are honorable men, honest
contractors, etc.
Just recently as the Galvez was re-
turning from the celebration of the
Battle of San Jacinto, we met two
large barges being tugged down the
river with Horton & Horton on their
broad sides. I could not have been
prouder of this had it been mine.

the May.
May your1 joys be many, your disap-
pointments few, if any,
And your married life one long, sweet,
happy day.”
Immediately the little flower girls
began to troop in with arms full of
beautiful gifts, each one an expres-
sion of love for the girl who is leav-
ing us, to enter her married life in
the distant city of San Angelo, the
wife of Mr. Jesse Rowan. There
never grew to young ladyhood sweeter
girls than these who are so affection-
ately spoken of as “the Langham
girls,” and, while we do not know
Mr. Rowan, we can very sincerely
congratulate him, for Charlotte is one
of the four “Langham girls,” no great-
er compliment can be paid her: that
covers it all with her friends here.
She grew to womanhood in a home of
culture and refinement, and the home
she will establish can be no other
than one of joy and contentment, a
replica of the one she is leaving. Our
fondest hopes will follow her in all
her interests in life.
All the gifts being opened and ad-
mired by Charlotte and the guests, a
delicious refreshment of fudge-nut-
cream and cake was enjoyed, the
guests eating as they strolled around
and visited with each other and the
honor guest.
Yes, the shower inside the house
was more inviting than the “shower”
outside was distressing, so all the
guests came, save probably two or
three. These friends came to express

Little Jack Abram has left a vivid
impression on those who heard him
in his piano recital Thursday evening
at the Grand Theatre. Rev. W. O.
Stephens made a few preliminary re-
marks, then introduced the little pian-
ist. Jack played as his first number
the “Sontata in D Major,” “Allegro
con brio,” “Yargo” and “Finals” by
Haydy. He labored under difficulties
on account of the poor condition of
the piano, the pedals were out of or-
der, one did not function at all >nd
with these handicaps Jack pin/el
with an artistic finish and with ihe
mature interpretation of an adult, es-
pecially so in the Yargo movement.
His next numbers were three and
thirteen of Bachs two-part insertions.
He played these two numbers beau-
tifully, showed a brilliance of technic,
his left-hand work was marvelous for
a child of ted.
In the Chopin numbers, he played
with affluency and ease, but could not
do them justice without the use of the
pedals.
The Garotte and variations by Ra-
meau closed his program. For an en-
core he played a bright little piece,
Raphsody, his own composition.
Jack is a little genius. He has a
beautiful tone and plays with great
warmth of feeling. He is a wonder-
ful child pianist, and has a splendid
scholarship awaiting him in the David
Mannes School in New York City.
We hope that Jack can visit our
city again, and we also hope’that all
of the audience will be appreciative.
There were a few who talked aloud
which of course disturbed others. The
writer noticed that the children were
more attentive than some of the
adults.
their appreciation of the beautiful
girl-bride, and to wish her all the joy
that rightfully belongs to a sweet
Christian wife in the home-making
life that will so soon be hers. We
can easily vision that little “love-
nest,” for it will only be a reflection
of one of her childhood, and we know
the wonderful training that was in
that home. Abiding love, content-
ment, and happiness was the earnest
wish expressed by all for Charlotte,
as she leaves us today for her hus-
band, and home.
The gifts were very beautiful, the
one most cherished, of course, was the
one from “dad and the girls,” a beau-
tiful chest of silver. Linens, silver,
lingerie, crystal, china, aluminum, and
pyrex contributed to the shower.
A charming party, for a charming
Good luck and a happy life to
Charlotte, is the earnest wish of
life-long Bay City friends.

Pleases
(Dalls News Report)
Agricultural prospects in Texas
have been seriously retarded as a re-
sult of the delayed season in the cot-
ton and corn belts. Farm operations
are under a handicap that may be
felt Well into the summer. Cotton
planting is behindhand and much
replanting has had to be done. This
same statement may be applied to
corn.
There simply has been too much
rain. With faith weather from this
time on, there may yet be an average
acreage in cultivation, however.
Tyler, in Smith County, sends a
report typical of others from sur-
rounding sections, saying that condi-
tions were aggravated by the rainfall
Of Thursday. Farmers had made
progress in preparing the soil for
planting, and the planting season
should be in full swing now, but this
has been prevented by excessive rains
Which rendered the soil soggy and
Unfit.
Wheat and Oats Do Good.
Wheat and oats generally are doing
well and the continued moisture is
Causing ranges to become exception-
ally green.
In Williamson County, South Cen-
tral Texas, always at or near the head
of cotton producers, it is estimated
that only about 20 to 30 per cent of
the. cotton crop has been planted.
Many say, however, that there is yet
time for good crops under favorable •
conditions from now on.
Grain crops of Dallas County fur-
nish the most cheering item in the
present outlook, with oats that will be
harvested within two to three weeks
promising to yield between 50 and 70
bushels an acre. Wheat prospects are
equally above the average. Cotton
planting and germination continues
to drag behind schedule, however.
Wet and cold weather, as in other
parts of the state, explain the slow-
ness of cotton progress at this time.
Farmers Buying Feedstuffs.
Farmers are buying feedstuffs
plentifully, although winter oats and
other grains will be cut within three
weeks to furnish the bulk of this
feeding.
Bumper small grain crops are ex-
pected in Tarrant County. In one lo-
cality. known as the Fort Worth
prairie, as high as 100 bushels of
oats to the acre seems a conservative
estimate . now. Only one report of
rust has been received. Practically
all the cotton will go into the ground
during the next few days, amounting
to about 100,000 acres.
Although the season was retarded
by the rains, the recent warm days
have brought the season forward
again.
Wheat acreage is close to 25,000
acres with 150,000 acres in feed crops..

Wharton Boy Makes
Static Strainer
(Wharton Spectator)
A. J. Comfort, an employe of the
Galbreath Electrical Company, is a
sort of radio bug, and believes he has
designed an attachment that will tune
static out of a radio receiving set.
Comfort is part Indian and part
French and Spanish and is yet quite a
young men. He attended school at
Rosenburg and has been working at
the electric trade since his school
days. For some time he has been
working on a device that he says will
eliminate static that is the bane of
radio fans. This device he has pat-
ented and is now working on a ,plan
of getting it manufactured and mar-
keted. This week he received a prop-
osition from John T. Brown of the
American Radio Corporation to the
effect that if he would agree to give
Brown an interest in the device and
one-third the royalty rights, Brown
would pay his expense to New York
and they would make arrangements
to manufacture and market the static
eliminator. Comfort expects to leave
for New York about the 1st of July
to go into the matter thoroughly with
Mr. Brown.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 13.—Contend-
ing the state had failed to show
malice, attorneys today again asked
the Court of Criminal Appeals to
grant bail for H. P. Fall, charged with
murder in Matagorda County in con-
nection with the killing of Mr. and
Mrs. Camden Sanborn. Since the kill-
ings in February, Fall has been con-
fined at Bay City.
He was represented before the
appellate court by former Governor
Pat Neff of Waco and George King
of Houston.
A short time ago the Court of
Criminal Appeals refused Fall bail.
“All the testimony showed that
Fall and the Sanborns had been
friends for years; that Fall had been
trusted by the Sanborns. Something
must have happened that night to
provoke the killings,” King argued.

The music memory congest is over,
and it has aroused much interest in
good music. It is common knowledge
that many of the present day “hits”
are just bits of melody stolen from
the old standard compositions which
were buried in the musical libraries.
The melody of the Minuet in G, by
Beethoven, was transformed into the
modern popular song, “Romance of
No-Man’s Land.” Bringing out these
Melodies through the. medium of a
contest, we are to give to people the
jdy of appreciating compositions able,
which, otherwise, would have been

to arouse and direct the public taste.
