Fallen from his high altitude of

Hiding deep scares of sins upon
his soul,
His fair illusions shattered and
destroyed.
And would you know the story
of the fall?
The youth, forced into sudden
manhood, went
Seeking the lost ideal of his
dreams.
He met in Churches and in draw-
ing rooms,
Women who wore the mask of
innocence
And basked in public favor, yet

Make license of their new-found

Anent this widespread over-
growing theme
Of women and her virtues and
her rights,
I left you for the large, loud
world of men
When I had lived one little
score of years.
I judged all women by you, and
my heart
Was filled with high esteem and
reverence
For your angelic sex; and for
the wives,
The sisters, daughters, mothers
of my friends

last sweet talk.

We want you to feel free to ask any favors of us. Use the con -

Cotton Crop
A Cuero man who visited kins-
people on the Twelve Mile about
twelve miles south of this city
Sunday was greatly surprised
and pleased to note the fine con-
ditidn of cotton and the favora-
ble prospects for a late crop. In
this section in particular he says
cotton is green and healthy and
loaded with new forms, ranging
from squares to bolls half grown.
He says cotton insects are not
harming the crop in the section
he visited Sunday, and he is of
the opinion that there is a
splended chance for a big late
crop. This gentleman states
that the Twelve Mile country has
had little rain this fall, in fact,
not enough to make sweet pota-
toes and other late crops.—Rec-
ord.

Will Send Exhibit to Houston
Mr. Will G. Fields of the Fields
Brokerage Co., Houston, was in
Goliad last Friday in the in-
terest of the Houston Carnival.
He made a proposition to the
Young Men’s Business Club
which was eagerly accepted by
the members present. The prop-
osition substantially is as fol-
lows:
That if the Goliad Fair man-
agement will send to Houston
during the 1915 carnival in that
city an exhibit of the agricul•
tural products of the county the
■carnival management will donate
free of charge sufficient space in
agricultural building for the dis-
play of the exhibit and besides
will furnish free a huge float
which will take part in the parade
that will be held during the week
iof the big carnival.
W. E. Britton, the local club’s
•secretary, was selected to pre-
1 pare the exhibit and accompany
it to Houston. The dates of the
Houston carnival immediately
follow those of the local fair and
| the matter of arranging a suita-
ble exhibit will not be difficult.
I We want to ask each exhibitor
who competes here during the
I fair, to increase his exhibit in
I order to make as large a showing
as possible in this display at
Houston. If you intend bring-
ing in a dozen ears of corn to
show, increase it to two dozen,
or more, and so on with each
article.
We especially want to request
of our farmer friends to bring a
bushel each of the squaw and
red corn.
This is an excellent opportunity
for Goliad to get some valuable
• publicity at little expense and
the lub membership is anxious
to avail itself of the opportunity.
♦ No, mother; I am sane, but very
move from our midst onr
beloved brother and
Whereas, We feel keenly the
The gladsome school days are
here. How we, who have passed
those days and entered the var-
ious walks of life, look back up-
on those days with regret, with
pleasure. We can now see where
we did not make the most of
those opportunities. We can
now long for a return of those
happy days so fraught at that
time with trials and tribulations.
’Tis a pity others cannot profit
by our experience, but must ex-
perience the same themselyes. If
I could impress upon every boy
the advantages he now enjoys
that will never again be present-
ed, and the necessity of making
the most of them, I would be con-
tent with life’s work. But a boy
takes school days just as betakes
the measles—as something pecu-
liar to childhood, something he
must go through with some way
till he reaches man’s estate. Per-
haps, after all, it is just as well.
