April 20th.—The cold weather
and rain have considerably retarded
farm work for the past'’few days. A
light frost fell Saturday night but
did very Utile damage. As a rule
farmers are atili behind with their
cough and mumps, the attendance
haa been small the put two months.

when pgld to hustle for it, but when
itoomu to dishing it out without
the effort to make a scoop, I fear I
shall be a flat failure.

Misses .Wood Washington and

Mabe Poole nod Sam Gray have
gone to Hasse to take charge of the
Gray mercantile house.
Mias Daisy Pinson, who has taught
school near Beaty, dosed her school
last Friday and returned home.
Mrs. Genie O. Quinn of Goldth-
waite spent last week with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Guy-

gar.
Think we will take that trip on
the Rio De Leon this week and
wish some of the Dublin fellows could
go along and witness the performance.
Emmet Pitt has returned from
Goldthwafte where he has been work-
ing at his trade as a barber. We
always weloome him here as he has
no acquaintances who are not his
friends.
We learn that John Dial plowed
op part of his winter planting of cot-
ton on acoount of the weeds which
completely enveloped it. He has It
planted again however, earlier than
most of our Deople who only plant
once.
From what we see of the berries—
principally blackberries and dew-
berries, the crop will be unusually
large. Indications favor a heavy
pecan crop, which is a source of pro-
fit to many of our people when they
mature. Pastures were never better
at this time of year and many who
have pastures are not feeding colts,
milk cows, or surplus stock of any
kind.
W. D. Alexander, who has been
carrier on rural route No. 1 from
Haase, has been transferred here on
route 2, which covers the former, and
extends on to Hazle Dell. The
work on this route will be heavy as
soon as the people get to patron-
izing it, as the list shows one hun-
dred and forty houses, and Hazle Dell
will also be supplied from here.
The route is almost thirty miles long.
We had a frost on the night of
the 15th which scared us all, for it
looked as if fru|t, corn and even
grass would all be killed, however,
it did but little datnagx. Mr. Reid
says that along the low valley on
his farm the cocklebum and weeds
were killed, and in few places up
higher corn was hurt, but nothing
serious has been reported. The
farmers generally are complaining
of being behind with their work,
but If not delayed, the majority
of those who get there will be crowd-
ing their work In a short time.
Our school closed on Friday last
and as Prof. Chummny is going to
remain here this summer it is quite

The school children are preparing
a nice program for the closing exer-
cises of the school, which will occur
next Friday night. The school has
been very satisfactorily conducted
this term.
John Pair will soon have alfalfa
ready for mowing. He was like a
number of others in other communi-
ties when the weeds got the best of
it last season, he thought the alfalfa
an unprofitable crop. He seems to
think differently now, however.
While on a visit to Mr. Carraway
In the White’s Chapel community
Sunday, we found the people using
their new independent telephone
system, which takes in the Shady
Grove and Indian Creek school dis-
tricts on east side of the Bosque river,
and the Johnson and a part of the
Bowman Ridge districts On the west
side.
It is not often the farmers cry
“to much rain” in this part, how-
ever such is the case just now. It
was with reluctance that they hung
up their harness and turned old
‘Jack” and “Bill” out on the grass
demand. Wheat and oats are look-
ing well but coin tod cotton are
rather backward for this time of
the year.

strong probabilities of a bank being

very favorably of the prospects. If

some talk of Mr. Klaza moving his

improvement.

’Twms spring time April twonty-llr*t,
Th*- air was full of perfume sweet,
And flowers bloomed in rich array,
And songs, of birds the ear did greet,
Along the Han Jacinto’s banks,
Were stationed troops of Texas' men.
They noticed not fair nature's traits.
Their minds were bent on battle then.
They thought of martyred brothers brave.
Reflecting thus; their hearts grew sad.
Their anger waxed as they recalled
The Alamo and Goliad.
Each heart throbbed out in righteous wrath
They knew their cause was for the right,
They felt the time had fully come.
When they must make the final fight.

And said to them in words of tire
“On yonder knoll our foes are camped—
Arouse ye Texans ‘glut your Ire’—

“Good friend,’’ said he. "I trust to you
To see that Vincen’s bridge is burned.”

So quietly they formed their ranks,
