Nearly three hundred years after
Columbus' famous voyage to America
a man by the name of Priestly was
making discoveries in anothe: field

of manufacturing artificial carbonated

to protect the health of the many
hundreds of people who drink them
daily.

this chemist, I ownsend Sjieakman by
name, who had the happy thought of
flavoring the water with fruit juices.
Soon these beverages were to become
tremendously popular all over the
world.
Most people drink carbonated bev-

THE VALUE OF A CONTEST
We have just experienced a number
of literary and athletic contests at
the county meet. In each event son.e
one won first place. Should those who
failed to get the prize be discouraged
disappointed, and angry at having
tried? I say emphatically "No"!
Take for example the spelling con-
test; think of the hours and hours of
practice the contestants had before
coming to the test. Whether they
won or lost their lives have certainly
been aided bv the innumerable words
they can spell.
The value of such contests as de-
bate, extemporaneous speech, picture
memory, etc., is rarely appreciated at
the time it is taken, hut the student
clas« of extemporaneous speakers in-
stead of two girls and one boy. The
spelling classes should have been
crowded.
Kven if a student does not realize
the indirect value of such contests on
his general education, he should at
least, be eager to get the five points
offered to all pupils coming out for
a contest.
Resolve now to enter a contest next
year at County Meet time.
LETTERS
By K. Davis
My Dear ('apt. Skinnie:
I made a nice trip to New York. 1
hadn't been in New York two hours
, , , _ . , .when I met those two fa nous charac-
shows the influence of such training „.rs vour brother Lou and C. Price
throughout his school career and even
in adult life. I might safely say that
such contests mean more to a student
education than many classes.
The only regret we have about the
County Meet contests is that our
school did not have more students in
the eliminations. We should have ev-
ery student in high school English as
a contestant in essay writing instead
of only four. We should have a large
riental tray.
Guests were Mesdames H. N. Bell,
A. M. Chambers, S. R. Cochran, F.
W. Denison. M. F. Hill. Eupene Per-
kins, L. I). Williams, 0. P. Jones and
Misses Esther V. Anderson, Clara
Mrannon, Annette Booth, Dessie E
Hoerster, Beulah Grace Jenkins and
Jessie Ruth Hill.
The three of us lunched together and
had a fine time. Mr. Price was treat-
ing us but he (jot into an argument
with the head waiter about the
prices being so high, so to keep a
fuss down I oaid the bill. They are
iroing South in a dav or so. Said
that they thought that you would
come to New York with me. Since I
am here I think that I shall remain
for awhile. I may look around a little
THE BASTROP ABSTRACT
COMPANY
There was a time in the early
tory of the United States when real
property was bought and sold with
almost as little attention to title as if
it were a pound of butter or a dozen
of eggs. The buyer accepted the sell-
er's "warantee" deed and made no
further investigation. Present posses-
sion of the land was commonly ac-
knowledged a.1 conclusive guarantee
of ownership.
Since those early times the busi-
ness of furnishing abstracts of title
to real pioperty has become one of
the most important of American pro-
fessions. With the growing complex-
ity of laws governing real property
and the preponderous inciease of com-
mercial activity, the «ale of property
is no longer a simple matter.
Today we must take every precau-
tion against a bad title. Only an es-
pecially trained and experienced ex-
pert is able to compile a reliable ab-
stract.
The Bastrop Abstract Co., I'hone
77, has a complete and accurate set
of books covering this territory. They
have at their command all the in-
formation on the various land tracts
his j from tIn
time of early settling to the
picsent day.
Fveryone at the Bastrop Abstract
Co. are well trained and long fxper
ienced in making up abstract.-. Theii
wide patronage i- a proof of (In. tV-t
that their service has always been
at isfnctory.
If you are contemplating the pur
chase of a home or other property,
you will need the "rvices of an ah
stiactor Insist upon a reliable firm
and avoid serious errors that might
cost you money or poihap- your pro
perty.
At the Bastrop Abstract Co., you
will always have at your service well
known and trustworthy abstractors
whose information, advice and serv-
ice you can always depend upon.
In this historical leview we wish
to compliment this progressive com-
pany and to recommend it most
heartily to all our readers. It has
rendered great service in aiding
the safe growth of our community
and the sut rounding territory. You
will find no abstractor in the county
who is more reliable and thoiough.
