THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the announcement ofthn
twenty-eight annual session of
the University of Texas. The
The University opened its doors
in 1883 with eight professors,
four instru3tors, and 221 stud-
ents. It now has forty profess-
ors, forty-four instructors and
tutors,and 2601 students. New
buildings have been construct
ed; addit'o ial departments of
study have been inaugurated:
laboratories and libraries have
been more thoroughly equipp-
ed. The total assets of the Uni-
versity amount to about 4,000,-
000, dollars and its annual bud
get of expeuse is not far below
a quarter of a million dollars.
Big as these figures may seem,
they are much smaller than
those of California, Michigan
Minnesota, o r Wisconsin,
though each of these states is
smaller in population than Tex-
as. Minnesota for example,
gives her University over a mil
lion dollars annualy ; and the
incomes of California and Wis-
consin are equally as large.

Editor Advertiser:
I am greatly encouraged to
write to-day, since everything is
so bright. Crops looking fine
since tne nice rain and prosperity
surely is near since so many of
the good people are building and
completing homes. We are al-
ways proud to note improve-
ments.
A musical was given at Mr.
ai d Mrs. Jung's, Thursday night
last, in honor of Miss Edith Mc
Leary who is visiting her aunt
Mrs. Wm. J. Smith. Miss Mc-
Leary is quite an accomplished
musician and those who have had
the pleasure of her acquaintance
I am sure appreciate same,
Mrs. Brown and niece, Miss
Frankie Tilzy, from Liberty Tex-
as, are visiting Mrs. Roy Jones,
her daughter. It seems that one
of our young men "can't" let
Miss Frankie leave, —but Baxter,
cheer up, she may come again in
the near future.
Mrs. Frank McGuire and family,
from Austin have been spending,
the week with relatives at Water-
son and this place.
Miss Libbie Eastland, who has
been attending the Summer Nor
mal, at LaGrange, spent several
days with her aunt, Mrs. L. A.
Turner. She left Tuesday for

few days, thence to Austin and
San Antonio. We wish for Miss
Libbie, a nice and joyTul vaca
tion.
Mrs. Alfred Marshal is spend-
ing the week with relatives in
San Antonio,
Mr. Chas. Ingram spent Mon-
day in Smithvnle on important
business.
Mrs. Gus Jung, with daughters,
Leatha and Nellie, and son,
Adolph are visiting in Bastrop
this week.
The Jung Brass Band played

Quite a crowd of people will

KENTON DOTS.
Kenton Texas, July 20, 1910.
Editor Advertiser:
Quite a long time has elapsed
since we last visited the Editor's
cozy realm and joined in conver-
sation with your jolly band of re-
porters.
The scarcity of news in our
uneventful isolated place pre
vents our writing as often as
some other of your correspon-
dents.
We are square in the middle of
summer days and all the pleasures
and good things usually brought
by this good season. We are
giad to report, excellent crop
prospects, but are beginning to
need rain at this writing.
Thanks to Commissioner Ira
Wright. We are having a splendid
bridge constructed across Red
Gully, a bridge we have long
needed We are grateful fort his
recognition of our needs.
The Baptist people arc soon to
begin a meeting at Valley Home.
Mr. F. M. Beck was in atten
dance on court last week.
The Murchison A Lee Co., of
Austin, have purchased a site
and will soon erect a general
store in our community. The firm
is well known to our people and
we predict splendid business for
the new store.
Mr. Jeff Summers and A. E.
Mason attended the McDade bar-
becue last week, we have not
learned as yet whether the scars
on their faces were due to a run-
away or a Jeffries Johnson sparr-
ing match.
Supt- Hartford Jenkins was in
our midst not long since shaking
hands with his friends in the in-
terest of his candidacy for re-elec-
tion. Hartford is not only a gen-
ial good fellow, but a faithful and
efficient school officer whose un-
tiring work at the head of our
schools, now ranks hirn as one of
the hetft County Superintendents
in the StF.te. He certainly de-
serves and merits a return to this
inipo. iam ouK'e |

TEXAS. ***** * * ********
Hoke Scott, a farmer of Seat-
tle, Wash., sold 11 acres of his
Renton farm recently for $2,200.
He received the money in green-
backs, which he stuck in his coat.
On his way home he stopped to
tell of his good luck sale to a
neighbor, and while talking the
old horse he had been leading
reached over and pulled out the
greenbacks and masticated them
before the farmer could pry
open the horse's mouth. The
animal swallowed a good portion
of the money, but the irate farm-
er saved a bunch of small pieces
he managed to pull off a corner
of the roll. Hoke is now wonder-
ing if treasurer department will
redeem the money with the aid
of the few remnants he has col-
lected.
