AN EASIER HI M.
Dr. Griffith reported yesterday that
the drill in the new well, two miles
north of town was down 1100 feet
It passed through the blue gumbo that
looked so promising, entered a splen-
did strata of shale, passed through
that and Is now in another layer ot
blue gumbo. The doctor is confident
of success and says all indications
have been good.* very good, from the
start.
very attractive little party was
given yesterday afternoon for little
Misses Letty Lewis Himel and Carmen
Lewis by their mothers, Mrs. It. R.
Lewis and Mrs. Curl Himel, featuring
the Easter season. Everywhere over
the lawn of the Lewis home wore
found clover nests of gaily colored
eggs, which the kiddies most expect-
antly looked for and happily found.
Finding all the eggs their little hands
could search out, and by their joyous
chatter evidencing the fact that they
were "mos" awful glad the old Bunny
Babbits hadn't forgotten them" the lit-
tle tots ran helter skelter into the
house where they found other good
things in store. Some of the little
hostesses’ friends had brought lovely
flowers and sent rabbits ami chicka-
biddies and candy and fancy eggs to
add to their pleasures, so on every
hand Eastertime was emphasized.
Once in the house, a lively little con-
test ensued, each child being blind-
folded and told to draw the tail on
the rabbit which had been previously
drawn by Mrs, Himel on a blackboard,
the child drawing most successfully
receiving a basket of eggs of all shapes
and sizes, which fell to Master Rex
White. Not to disappoint tiny, because
they were not so successful as Master
Rex along artistic lines, each young-
ster was given a souvenir,- the boys
receiving the sassiest looking little
Bre'r Rabbits, the little ladies receiv-
ing fluffy, lovable little chickabiddies,
all white and yellow, which each little
girl promptly proceed to “mother", so
like ‘‘real" ones they seemed. The
concluding Interesting event in the
afternoon's pleasure was the little
tots ‘ice-cream cone feast, the refresh-
n; tit hour being shared by the grown-
ups who honored Letty Lewis and Car-
men with their presence:
The following were their guests:
Margaret Byars, Margaret White, El-
ain Brunner, Francis Taylor, Thelma
Collins, Lucile Gaines, Francis Bent-
ley, Margaret Eidman, Dorothy Eid-
man, Bessie Eidman, Irby Steele Stin-
nett, Savannah Pearl Hawkins, Betty
Kilbride, Margaret Kilbride, Beulah
Erickson, Ludwina Millican, Willie
McCamly, Helen Wilson, Francis Belle
Foster, Marjorie Ratliff, Rex White,
Charles White, Kraft Eidman, Stephen
Foote, Nicholas Vogelsang, Morton
McMahon, Waclott Rugeley, John Rat-
liff, Arthur Yerxa of Buckeye,
Additional guests of Letty Lewis
and Carmen were Mesdames A. 11.

When our new school building was
erected last summer we till thought
that we were building wisely and well.
We builded "well," perhaps, hut none
too ‘‘wisely" as is evidenced by tin1 al-
ready congested condition of the
buildings.
But this Is not all. When school
opened last September the room was
ample an da few less than (Jtltl stu-
dents were all that the buildings had
to accommodate. The enrollment in-
creased rapidly, however, and the su-
perintendent made a prophecy that by
the end of I'Jl.'l Bay City would have
1200 students. How n*;tr to mak-
ing the perfect score of too he will
come is proven by the last enumera-
tion of the scholastics actually attend-
ing school now, to any nothing of the
eligibles not in attendance.
The enrollment now is 1003, of
which SOI are in attendance at the
Jefferson Davis High School, the ne-
groes having 162.
More school room is going to be re
quired. hi fact, It is now needed, for
if the attendance increases as rapidly
before the opening of the next ses
sion as it has since September there
will not be enough room to accommo-
date the students.

JOHN A. I RAWFORD •
Judge W. 8. Holman has just
reived a letter from Senator Culber-
son in which the post office building
matter for Bay City is set at rest.
Senator Culberson stated that an act
providing for e f«mmo Federal Build-
ing for Bay City was approved on
March 4th, and that the Secretary of
the Treasury is thereby authorized ami
directed to contract for the building.
Senator Culberson also stated that
hereafter no authorization for tin* con-
struction of a post office building
shall be made for any town where the
postal receipts have not reached the
sum of 11.0,000 annually. This does
not affect the authorization for Bay
City, however, as the postal receipts
here have long since passed the |10,00o
mark.
Senator Culberson's letter follows:
March 21, 1913.
Judge W. S. Holman, Bay City, Tex.
Dear Judge:—Your letter of the 17th
instant is received, and I am glad to
be able to tell you that the public
buildings act approved March 4th last
contains an item authorizing and di-
recting the secretary of the Treasury
to contract for the construction of a
post office bidding at Bay City at a
cost not exceeding $60,000. ,
There is a provision in the act that
hereafter no authorization for the con-
struction of a post office building shall
be made for any town where the pos-
tal receipts have not reached the sum
of $10,000 annually. This does not af-
fect Hie authorization for your town,
but applies only to future authoriza-
tions. I am glad to know though that
your postal receipts exceed the sum
named and that you would not be af-
fected by such a provision if now op-
erative. The secretary of the Treas-
ury being vested with discretion in
the matter of the total costs of these
several buildings within the limits pre-
scribed, the volume of business done
at any post office will naturally have
weight in determining the size and
character of the building to be con-
tracted for. Very truly yours,
C. A. CULBERSON.
--o—o-----■
If you are in doubt as to the class
of boosting material to send that pros-
pect you have on the string send him
a special edition of the Tribune. That
will do the work, if anything can.
Act Approved March Fourth Directing
Secretary ot the Treasury to
Contract tor Building.
