Notes and Personals
FROM FRIDAY’S DAILY
J. C. Willis is in Houston on Impor-
tant business this week.
J. C. Carrington and J. L. White
have purchased ten acres of fine land
near the cemetery and have ordered
1300 orange trees to. be planted there-
on. Mr. White has had charge of the
Cash orchard for two years, and his
experience will stand him in good
stead now that he is entering into
the business on his own account.
County Attorney Lewis went down
to Palacios yesterday to look into a
case of rowdyism which had almost
.thrown the quiet and peacable deni-
zens of that restful little village into
conniption fits earlier in the week.
He found a couple of youngsters had
shattered the peace and dignity of the
state to the extent of about fifty dol-
lars’ worth in each case, and the of-
fenders were turned over to the proper
officers pending a proper liquidation
of the state’s claim.
J. J. Hancock, the man who was in-
jured in an accident at the Hardy oil
field last Sunday, and who has been
delerious from the hour of the acci-
dent, has grown steadily worse since,
and he now has a very slim chance
for recovery. The injury was to the
right eye, a piece of wood penetrating
that organ to a sufficient depth to
involve the brain, and his physician
entertains but faint hope of a favora-
ble outcome. The injured man was
recently from Winters, Runnels coun-
ty, where his family resides, and his
wife has been notified of his condi-
tion. He is at the Barber house and
is attended and given every care his
condition demands. .He was in the Save your money for this musicalI com-
employ of the Square Deal Oil Co. at
the ofl field when the accident hap-
pened.
*
Z. E. Scofield Is mad. He's got it
in for the fellow who told The Tribune
that he had arranged to move to San
Antonio. He looks upon the charge
as an affront and a reflection upon
his judgment, because he believes that
no man of sound judgment and discre-
tion would leave Bay City so long as
the law allowed him to stay. He in-
sists that he hasn't lost any of the
good horse sense that first led him
to cast his lot here, he has made bus-
iness arrangements to stay here a
long time yet. So the story to the
effect that he had bought an interest
In a San Antonio business must have
been without foundation.
The ladies of the Presbyterian Aid-
Society will hold a rummage sale in
the building opposite the Sisk Grocery
Co., beginning Wednesday, February
1st.
FROM SATURDAY'S DAILY
Ralph W. Jones went to Houston
this morning to witness the flights of
the world's distinguished aviators.
Mr. E. J. Hunt of Corbin, Ky., is
the guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. S. Hunt of this city.
J. S. Wright of Collegeport has gone
to Blessing to assume duties in the
Blessing state bank, taking the place
occupied by E. A. Sanford.
Four good salesmen wanted; per-
manent positions to the right parties.
Apply at this office from 1 to 3 p. m.
Saturday.
A dispatch from Cuero states that
Rev. J. W. Israel, late pastor of the
First Baptist church of that city, is
to move with his family February 1st
to Palacios.
A bill has been presented in the Tex-
as house' that forbids turkeys, geese,
chickens, etc., from running at large
on lands of others between June 15
and December 15th.
A dispatch in the Houston Post of
today states that Postmaster William
E. Sayers, Jr., has been recommended
-. ■ Mr. Sayers has already served the peo-
ple of Bay City for thirteen years in a
very acceptable manner and his re-
appointment is in recognition of his
faithful services.
• Another new face is found in our
candidates' gallery today—that of L.
• J. Gartrell, who thus makes known
his desire to occupy the office of city
tax collecor and assessor. Mr. Gar-
trell couldn't select an office for which
he is better qualified. He held the
same office in the early days of the
city’s career, “when it wasn’t worth
anything,” as he puts it, and since
that time he has had considerable ex-
perience in the line,of the assessor’s
duties as a deputy in the office of
County Tax Assessor Moore, having
assisted him in assessing and in mak-
ing up his rolls for the past three
years. Mr. Gartrell has resided in
Bay City since ft was founded and Is
now and has been in colse touch with
its business interests, familiar with
values and thoroughly well posted in
every particular necessary to qualify
him for the office to which he aspires.
FROM MONDAY’S DAILY
Judge Bryan of Houston is in the
city today attending district court.
Mrs. Jesse Matthews of Glen Flora
was in the city Saturday.

I side, and. Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Thomp-| Judge W. S. Holman and two boys,

his personal use both for pleasure a car load of other folks were among
and for business.
The Tribue is requested to state: by the multitudinous grafts of the
that the Rummage Sale which was to
have been held this week by the la-
dies of the Presbyterian church has
been indefinitely postponed.
Tomorrow is your last day of grace
on the poll tax question. If you don't
get a receipt by tomorrow night you
are no more a citizen in the technical
aud legal sense of the word, than a
Chinaman.
Spruel Stevenson, a negro, plead
guilty to burglary before Judge Wells
Thompson this morning and was given
five years in the penitentiary as the
penalty for his indiscretion. Spruel’s
crime was committed at Blessing last
fall.
Jno. R. Reynolds returned home to-
day from Marlin, where he went with
Mrs. Reynolds and Miss Adele Moore
a couple of weeks ago. The ladies
did not return with him, having gone
to Central Texas for a visit wtih rel-
atives.
The last Square Deal well which
came in a gasser several days ago, is
now said to be producing about 400
barrels of oil daily and growing better
every hour. The driller expects the
well to finally make one of the best
gushers on the field.
The Matagorda County, Fair which
will be given at the opera house on
the night of February 20th, will be
the best home talent play Bay City
has produced. There are 52 charac-
ters in the plav and only the very
best talent of Pay City is represented
edy and we know you shall never re-
grot it. We guarantee satisfaction.
County Surveyor Carrington has re-
cently taken into his office Civil En-
gineer W. W. Green, a graduate of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology, and will hereafter have his as-
sistance and expert service in the
prosecution of all engineering work
which comes to his office. Mr. Car-
rington now expects to “spread out,"
and make a bid for work in his line
of whatever character offers and any-
where that it is to be done.
Several cases of smalpox having
been discovered In the north end of
town yesterday, public school was dis-
missed for the forenoon today while
all unvaccinated pupils were attended
to and rendered immune from that
disease. We understand that John
Mangum is one of the victims of the
disease, but when applied to for the
names of those afflicted the county
health officer, Dr. E. E. Scott, declined
to furnish them for publication.
County Surveyor Carrington will go
out tomorrow to meet the county sur-
veyor of Brazoria county in an effort
to determine the exact boundary line
between Brazoria and Matagorda coun-
ties. It is claimed by Brazoria au-
thorities that the line lies farther to
the west than Mr. Carrington thinks
it does, and if he is able to convince
the “enemy” of their mistake all will
be well without further formality. In
the other event, an engineer from the
state and office will be sent down to
arbitrate the matter. Several thousand
acres of land the taxes on which are
now paid into the Brazoria county
treasury, are involved in the issue.
J. J. Hancock, the oil field employe
who was injured while working on a
well for the Square Deal Oil, Co., on
Sunday the 22. died at his room in the
Barber house Saturday night, after a
week’s Illness from the injury, during
the entire time being unconscious and
for the last two or three days violently
delirious. The brain was injured by
a piece of wood which penetrated the
left eye to considerable depth, and
death resulted from the involvement of
the brain. Diring his illness he was
given every attention his condition
demanded, Mr.* Sutherland providing
nurse’s, physician and every comfort
possible. Undertaker Walker embalm-
ed the remains Saturday night and
they were shipped to Winters, in Run-
nels county, where the family of the
deceased resides. .
Miss Ada Isabel White the sixteen
on the bed by her mother, she never
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.
W. White died suddenly yesterday af-
ternoon, of heart failure, at the fam-
ily home on east Sixth street, .The
young lady was apparently in perfect
health a few minutes before death,
and was cheerfully going about her
duties in assisting her mother to pre-
pare the evening meal, when without
warning she fell In a faint. Placed
regained consciousness and death fol-
lowed within, a few minutes before
medical aid could be called. The fu-
neral will take place this afternoon
at 3 o'clock at edarvale cemetery. The
decedent was a pupil in the Bay City
High School, bright and popular with
teachers and fellow pupils, and her
sudden and untimely death has cast a
gloom over her entire circle of ac-
quaintances. The friends of the fam-
ily profoundly sympathize with them
In their sudden and heart rending be-
reavement.
Judge and Mrs. Wells Thompson.
Miss Emma Lee Lewis, Mr and Mrs.
Hugh B. Eidman. Hon. Wm. E Austin,
| those who took in and were “took in"
great Houston aviation meet, most of
them returning last night, and mighty
glad to get back with the remnant of
their worldly possessions for which
the management out at the aviation
grounds had no use. As an aviation
exhibition yesterday's event was a flat
failure, the bunch of imported "he-
roes” of the air professing to be scar-
ed within an inch of their lives ev-
ery time they felt the terriffic force
of a twelve-mile breeze against their
blooming cheeks and declining to risk
their highly salaried lives off terra fir-
ma till the eighteen thousand people
who stood to be skinned out of about
eighteen thousand dollars and trim-
mings threatened to take the machines
home with them in their pockets’ in
eighteen thousand several pieces. Then
the airmen sought safety in flight
and wisely refused to bring their aere-
oplanes back to the field, one of them
finding It convenient to get lost on
the prairie within plain sight of the
grounds. But while the meet was not
a startling revelation of man's new
art of flying, as a colossal colliseum
and museum of all the old and new
forms and practices of petty graft. It
was worth the money, even if you
went the whole route,.
FROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
The Houston Post gravely declares
that the airmen who went up at the
Sunday session of the meet there
“‘flirted with death.” If that is a fact,
the flirtatious heroes used the wire-
less and - had their tender messages
relayed.
Mr. Rutus Campbell and Miss Carrie
Reeves, both of Columbia, were mar-
ried at the Methodist parsonage at
12:30 p, m. todav Rev. A. A. Kidd of-
ficiating. Only the members of the
minister’s family and the mother of
the bride were present.
The Priscilla Club will meet to-
morrow evening at 3:30 with Mrs. G.
A. Moore. All members and officers
are urged to be present as business
of an interesting nature will come up.
There is room enough in our an-
nouncement column for a dozen or
two more candidates. Who’ll be the
next patriot to offer himself a living
sacrifice on the altar of the public
service? It only costs $2.50 to qualify
as one of the martyr's.
“I was glad to read of the reorpan-
izatlon and rehabilitation of the Busi-
ness League," said G. M. Magill to a
Tribune man today; “A live league
is the life of, a live town, and Bay
City cannot get along without it. I
am also glad to note that one of the
first moves of your very efficient sec-
retary is toward securing the desired
schedule on the Collegeport branch of
the Brownsville railroad. This is a
convenience demanded by the patrons
of the road at both terminals and all
along the route, and since they have
completed-all their facilities for run-
ning trains and transacting busines,
there is no longer any excuse for the
present inadequate and unsatisfactory
service. I endorse the salaried sec-
retary idea, and don't think you could
have found a better man in the city
for the place than Mr. C. M. Carter.
He’s a live wire.”
FRON WEDNESDAY’S DAILY
J. T. Stockton, the capable and ac-
commodating local manager for the
Wills-Farge Express Co., announces
in this issue for the office of city
secretary of Bay City, subject to the
action of the W. M. U. A. Mr. Stock-
ton’s ability in clerical work is dem- seawall and other sights of the Island
onstrated in his high standing with
his company, and that he mixes well
with the public is also proven by his
popularity in his present capacity.
He will make a. capable and accom-
modating city secretary if elected, and
his candidacy is entiled to the consid-
sideration of the voters.

appearance of having come to the
front in a -hurry. The houses referred
to are those of Noah Lingle, and Mess-
ers. Prindle, Cramer and Adams.
B. E. Norvell has purchased the
Henderson & Prope subdivision of 531

in the neighborhood of $25,000.
V. L. LeTulle will leave tonight for

PLEA FOR THE FOOD TREE
Double Purpose Would be “served by
Its Plantation in Public
Parks of City.
In the annual report a the Depart,
ment of Parks of the City of New
York a bid for philanthropic praise is
made in the statement that many of
the dead trees were cut down and giv-
en to the poor for firewood. No doubt.
this proved a means of rendering
needed help and alleviating much suf-
fering. '
But did the New York park depart- .
meat ever stop to think how much
greater benefit it might have rendered
in this respect if all the living trees,
or even a part of them, had been food
trees that bore fruit or nuts?. The
dead trees in New York’s parks and
parkways are few, the living trees are
many. By this system of philanthropy
the tree is able to render such mate-
rial help but once, and that is after
it is dead; the living tree would af-
ford help in providing bodily suste-
nance every year of its nature life.
The dead tree was probably worth
three dollars in fire wood. The living
food tree would bear fruit or nuts
which would be worth at least ten dol-
lars every year. While it was living
it would be as helpful as any other
as an adornment and shelter, and
after it was dead it would be worth
as much as any other for fire wood.
In addition it would brighten the
parks and parkways with its pretty
flowers. Would ft not be better to
plant food trees in New York and let
them be of philanthropic service
while they are living, as well as after
they are dead?—Exchange.
RECOGNIZE VALUE OF TREES
All Cities Awake to a Realisation of
the Beauty and Worth of
Foliage. ,
No city, state or nation over lost
prestige on account of having too
many trees, yet many once prosperous
countries have become barren, unin-
habited wastes through the removal
of all the trees. Cities now maintain
a constant rivalry as to which one is
best entitled to the name of “The'For-
est City,” for trees, especially street
trees, are of equal value with parks
in municipal assets. It is the firm be-
lief of the writer that if a city or town
is to have either every street fully
planted and no parks or plenty of
parks with not a street tree, the for-
mer condition is preferable as ten dol-
lars is to one. * .
Abundance of street trees in a land
is closely akin of forests and the high-
est state of civilization is found where
forests abound and in those countries
street planting has also reached its
highest plane. Germany is the lead-
ing country in scientific forestry and
so well have they learned the value of
trees that the nation is likewise well
and favorably known for its intelli-
gent use of trees In planting streets
and highways. Those nations are de-
cadent that do not reforestate their
denuded lands and in such countries
no street trees are found. In a coun-
try noted for its unusual amount gf
sunshine, as is ours, trees along all
lines of travel are much more neces-
sary than in those having a consider-
able natural supply. There is no
place in the world where trees have a
greater value or more enhance the
beauty of the land than in southern
California.

The Correct Time
to stop a cough or cold is just as soon
as it starts—then there will be no dan-

Just a few doses of Ballard's Hore-

stop the cold or cough. If it has been

will be longer, but the cure is sure.
