Trespalacios
Toe Prints
(By Sam R. Smith)
W. A. Sanford had the misfor-
tune to lose a fine young heifer
last Sunday.
Albert Lav/ and family, of
Palacios, stopped at Riverside
Park a few minutes Sunday on
their way home from Gulf.
We wish the Gulf Coast Ama-
teur Field Trial Club, when they
meet at Blessing March 20-21,
would take a notion to have a
"Vf crow hunt and bring the whole
passel ot dogs out to our place
and capture about a million more
or less of these pesky black rob-
bers that infest our timber, rob-
bing the valuable birds of their
eggs and young. They are al-
most as bad as hawks where
there are young chicks to get at.
Mr. J. S. Logan has sold his
small farm (the old Heartwell
place) to a Mr. Bell from some-
where in north Texas, who will
soon move onto it and be one of
our closest neighbors. Here's
bidding Mr. Bell a welcome and
hoping he will like his new home
and neighborhood. We do not
know what Mr. Logan is going
to do, but report came to us a
day or so ago that he was pre-
paring to move on the Shumaker
farm south of Blessing and farm
it this year.
While the cold snap of last
week froze ice, no damage to
fruit, crops or gardens was no-
ticed. The prospect for fruit has
never been finer than this year.
- This leads us to remark that we
have always wondered why peo-
^ pie with head setting level and
well filled with common sense,
will go 200 or 300 miles south of
here and pay $500 or $600 for
land not one whit better than
the land they can get in Mata-
gorda oounty from $50 to $150
per acre, and with a climate not
surpassed anywhere, and where
the fruit and vegetables will
grow equally well as in the so-
called "Magic Valley," with the
same care and attention. There
is just ONE explanation: that is,
they have a system of propagan-
da that gets the people headed
down there, and when they get
'em there, they stick. Same ef-
fort will get them here.
The United States Senate and
its committees of investigation
; W are giving the taxpayers of this
government the nauseous dose
of their lives. The President and
Secretary of State are urging tax
•eduction; the people are clam-
ng for tax reduction; business
is suffering for tax reduction;
♦
and our National lawmakers are
playing horse, dishing out pea-
nut politics, and engaging in far-
cial performances that would put
to shame the dirtiest political
squabble men could conjure up.
Sober and sedate senators (God
forjrive us for using such an ex-
pression), are holding a hearing
that would disgrace the court of
the most ignorant bacKwoods
justice of the peace. The good
name and character of hereto-
fore honest and reputable nation-
al men are being rolled in mire
and slime by these senators, and
when offers are made by the par-
ties under this dirty, slimy inves-
tigation, or their attorneys, to be
heard, they are informed by
some blatant, bombastic senator
that "what this committee wants
from you is great gobs of si-
lence." Testimony that would
be inadmissable in any court on
earth is being presented by jail-
birds, men under indictment,
and women divorcees, and being
taken with glee and relish by
these high-minded (?) senators.
The trial of Jesus Christ before
the Jewish rabble was an order-
ly and decorous proceeding in
comparison to what is going on
in Washington now.
CARANCAHUA
Mrs. Charles Yeamans came
out from Palacios Saturday and
is now visiting her father, A.|W.
Lewis.
The Carancahua Literary Soci-
ety will give a program at the
school house Friday evening,
March 28th.
Mrs. Alta Willingham left on
Wednesday morning for Sugar-
land, where she will make her
future, hnpie. Her husband has
employment there.
Rev, Fisher Simpson, P. E.,
will preach at the school house
Monday night, March 24th. A
cordial invitation is extended to
all to attend this service.
The Huffman family entertain-
ed last Sunday the following:
Will Frankson and'family, R. W.
Margerum and family, the L. J.
Slaikeu family and Gladys Frank-
son.
There was a large crowd at
Sunday School last Sunday, fifty-
five being in attendance. All
seemed to be much interested.
The Young People's Meeting
was also well attended and the
meeting led by Signe Frankson
was much enjoyed.

HARD TO TELL
Hoffy called on his friend Cutlibert
and observed that the latter had In-
stalled a bowl containing one goldfish.
"Ah, you have a goldfish," he re-
marked.
"Yes," he replied. They smoked a
wliile. Then Hoffy resumed the con-
versation.
"Does the goldfish know you?"
"I cannot tell," responded Cuthbert.
"It makes no sounds, and Its tall wag-
ging seems to be for purposes of pro-
pulsion only."
