There was a good attendance of the John E. Redmond leader of the Irish
voters of the surrounding country to
discuss the bond issue proposition.
Mr. W. E. Graham was by unanimous
choice made chairman. Mr. Hewit
made a short speech outlining the
present method of road building; the
money expended on roads each year
which on account of its necessary
temporary nature has to be gone over
year by year in order to keep roads.

the upkeep of the highways will be
reduced to such an extent that the
commissioners' court can reduce the
present tax rate from 50 cents to 35
cents on the $100 making a net raise
of only 50 cents on the $1000
for bond purposes. "And" said he
"the members of the court have made
the statement that the county can be
run upon an assessment of 35 cents
with the roads that the bond Issue will
build In better shape than it can now
be run upon the 50-cent assessment"
Prof. R. J. Potts followed with his
splendid address upon the salutary ef-
fect upon communities of good roads
the method of construction with the
material at hand and the ease with
which Brazos county can (and he be-
lieved it would) build a system of per
manent good roads.
Mr. Ed Hall made an earnest appeal
for better roads and its consequent
greater comfort to the rural residents.
Mr. W. E. Graham made a ringing
address favoring the bond issue. He
said in part: "It seems to me that;
we farmers are vitally more interested
than the city people in this proposi
tion. It has been claimed by a few
that it is a project of the automobile
owners; I don't see why. Now I go
over the road from here to Bryan five
times to one with any automobile
owner that I know of; and I know that
the benefit to me would be much
greater and I want to say that there
is nothing in the tax to scare anyone
at all-
There was no one present who
wlehed to speak in opposition to the
bond issue and in fact there was a
very small percentage of the audience
opposed to the Issue.

I was not only present at the semi
annual examinations held recently at
Villa Maria Academy but took an ac-
tive part as one of the examiners.
The showing made ty the young la-
dles evidenced a thoroughness of
training that was extremely gratify-
ing. The easy mastery they evinced in
treating the subjects of art and Science
submitted to them for demonstration
indicated how useful they might be as
leaders of thought among the circles
In which they are destined to move.
This vns especially apparent among

be a pity to allow these splendid ca-
pabiritios to reraa'n unproductive after
they have left their alma mater as
happens in th-3 case of so many of
convent graduates.
We want to see their names promi-
nent in the field of literature science

appointed if they but allow a prop-
erly directed ambition to lead them.

Oh my! what a deluge! How it
seems to pour in from every quarter
as if it meant to drain the universe!
No you growlers need not begin again
that you "have already had enough
rain" for It is not rain that we come
to tell of but of the deluge of good
things that have happened at B. B. A:
this week. On the very first day of the
week examinations began and by Fri
day we were provided with a very
bright outlook 1. e. another month
free of things so destructive to sound
nerves and peaceful slumber; al-
though we were greatly encouraged
by inspiring talks from Rev. Fendley
on Monday morning and Rev. Glenn
Fllnn on Thursday morning. Then as
if these inspiring talks were not suffi-
cient we had the extreme pleasure of
hearing on Thursday evening Rev.
George Stuart's lecture on "Lopsided
Folks." It Is to be hoped that every
one derived as much profitable pleas-
ure as we did from the glance Into
the mirror which he held before us.
