When our oil well begins to belch

The pure grit shown by tlie people

army had left tlie country so bare of i
food that a jaybird flying across it.
Led to carry bis rations, tlie people

where the horses of tlie invading

washed it and lind it ground and made
bread from it but they never made
•in appeal for help nor plead at the
door of charity that they were pan
tiers. They left beautiful homes or
the ashes where these homes had
been, and went to llv<* in log cabins.
But they never whined or asked alms.
They were grit though and through,
these our forvparents were, and they
never even winced nor cried aloud

Dr. and Mrs. H. M. Tenny arrived!
last week from Oberlin. Ohio, and
will spend several months in College-
port.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee and son, Robert,
returned from Baraboo, Wis., after -,t(Uls leading to an acceptance of the
a long absence, and are occupying
their bungalow on the bay front.
Mr. and Mrs, L. E. Liggett spent
several daj s at Bay City and Buckeye
last week.
Last Thursday afternoon the Li-
brary Association entertained the pu-1
pils of the public school and their
friends at a A’alcntine party, nnd sand-
wiches. cakes and chocolate were
served to all, with Valentine souve-
n.'rs for each pupil. An interesting;
h’story of the public library was read
and many guests presented books to
the association which increased the
number to over a thousand volumes
now in the shelves. A handsome
framed picture was presented to Prof, ment rendered In said court on the
Las'ie's room and to Miss Hunter's
room by the library.
Mrs. J. H. Roach of Blessing
spent two days at Collegeport last
week, being the guest of Mrs. Theo-
dore Smith and Mrs. A. H. Yerxa.
A Colonial Supper is being planned
by the ladles of Collegeport for F»b.

The old line life insurance com-
panies, exiled a few yearn ago by the
Robertson law, are anxious to see

they may return to Texas. Governor

panies stating a willingness to return

ernor. naya that at least 150,000,000 is
In sight tltrougii these sources. Tlie
Gitmon bill, however, Is destined to
meet witli serious and determined op-
position, the fight against it coining,
no doubt, from the home companies.
T’hlH opposition, we believe, Is III
advised, inasmuch as Texas needs all
the money she can get. nnd it does
seem to us that the more money that
comes to the State, regardless of tlie
source so long ss it is legitimate,
the better the home company will fare
owing to the one fact of the possibil-
ities of more business, and an Increas-
ed field of competition. Tlie oppo-
nents ot tiia Gibson bill theorize to
the extent the exiled companies
should not rrtum until thuy have paid
their fines amt penalties, etc., etc.
This theory cannut possibly have
much effect, for tlw, simple reason
that to force them to wv aomethhig

of bleeding and broken bodies, stilled by death.
And all for what? It was a false alarm.
CRIED FIRE.
Every day now a fool cries fire In Texas.
Unrt asoning people take up the cry and pass it along in the same un-
thinking way, only the fire we mean is figurative.

The greatest crops of all time, of almost every product, were grown
last year in Texas. Prices are practically, with the exception of cotton,
normal. Copious rains have fallen evcrywltere throughout the State, giv-
ing promise of another plenteous year.
Bank clearings of all the principal cities show a steady gain, building
permits a like increase. Customs collections from all the ports show ex-
ports to be almost double. New industries are opening up; old ones in-
creasing their output. EVERYTHING is on the up grade.

say to your neighbor, ‘‘Times are simply awful,” how often he repeats it,
and so on and on, forming an endless chain of pessimism and gloom.
Are you doing it?
