970 BALES GINNED TO NOV. 13
The Palacios gin reports 970
bales of cotton ginned to Mon-
day, November; 19, valued at
$169,750.00. Mr. Moore, owner
of the sin, expects to reach the
thousand mark Saturday, the
next gin day.
As a result of this showing it
expected by people who have
,ade a study of the situation
iiat more than double the pres-
nt acreage will be devoted to
the cultivation of cotton next
year. Farms adjacent to Palacios
which have lain idle for several
years are being rented by expert
cotton growers from different
parts of the cotton belt, and we
arc confident the local gin will
turn out twice this number of
bales next season.
Inquiries from all sections of
the United States are reaching
this omce almost daily. Most oi
them are from men who are look-
ing for corn and cotton lands,
and the season just past has
conclusively proven that our soil
is particularly adapted to those
rops. It is a matter of record
at, even with the worst crop
,ason in the memory of man,
10 cotton farmer has made a fail-
ure or has had to stint himself
or his family; and it is a fact
that he has no worries about the
high cost of living. But the
farmer is not restricted to those
crops. Everything needed lor
the human family can be success-
fully grown on land in this part
of the Coast Country. The in-
telligent farmer can raise any-
thing from a fuss to a bale and a
half to the acrc. Added to this
is the fact that there is no
healthier place under the broad,
blue canopy of God's great
Heaven. An ideal climate, the
purest water and best people on
earth make of it a place where
dreams come true.
REAL ESTATE MOVING RAPIDLY
Several transfers oi' acreage
and city property have been
made this week, of which more
will be said in our next issue.
Mr. S. E. Cave, after spendinc
several winters here as a renter,
has finally decided that Palacios
is the right place and has pur-
chased the R. G. Hendricks res-
idence.
Mr. S. E. McLellan has bought
of W, L. Langford the Ray View
hotel and the Pavilion, both of
which he expects to improve and
make ready for a record sum-
mers' business. Mr. McLellan
will occupy the Bay View about
January 1.
We are glad to welcome these
estimable gentlemen to our city,
and are anxious to extend the
glad hand to as many more like
them as can crowd into Palacios.
must make reservation for seats
before December 1. There will
be just thirty five tickets for use
by citizens, and the first thirty
five people who speak for them
will be accomodated. Reserva-
tions should be made through
Mr. O. C. Arnold at the Pickwick
Bakery.
There is no limit to the number
for the oyster roast, but it is
necessary to speak for tickets
before December 1. All citizens
must furnish their own sauces
and relishes, and if you wish to
eat many oysters it will be a good
idea to bring something along
with which to open the shells.
Don't fomet the sauce. Make
reservation through Mr. Arnold.
Everybody attend the meeting
Tuesday night at the La Belle
theater.
The Beacon is requested to an-
nounce J. 1>. (Bo) McCain as a
candidate for the ofucc of County
Treasurer, subject to the action
of the White Man's Union Pri-
maries.
NECK SHAVE FIVE CENTS EXTRA
Owing to the increased cost of
material used in our business we
have found it necessary to add 1
an extra charge of 5 ccnts for a
neck shave. We regret the ne-
cessity, and postponed the raise
in the hope that things would
become normal again, but mater
ial continues to advance. This
raise will go into effect on Dec. 1.
