REVIVAL AT BAPTIST
I CHURCH IN 2nd WEEK
The Baptist revival in progress at
the Sinton Baptist church is in the
second week of services, being held
twice a day, at 10 o’clock in the morn-
ing and at 7:30 o’clock in the evening.
The revival is being conducted by the
pastor, Reverend W. C. Wood, w'ith no
outside help. He is preaching some
very fine sermons, making strong ap-
peals to his membership to renew' their
obligation to their cliur'ch and their
God. His messages are earnest, direct,
and forceful and of strong appeal.
Interest and attendance in the meet-
ing has increased, despite the illness
prevailing in the city, and the meet-
ing continues without interruption.
The pastor announced that in case of
each subject. Judge Jackson is to
be commended for . his interest in the
young people of the county. Let’s
have others.

There have been nearly 600 sailings.
At one time during the present cot-

trans-Atlantic steamships tied up in
the Corpus Christi turning basin at
one time. They were loading cargoes
of South Texas cotton consigned to
practically every section of the globe.
During the two years Port Corpus

demonstrated the fulfillment of an

Congress was justified in its initial

facilities of the port by deepening the

Special to News—
Cage Hardware Company’s store at
Gregory was robbed about two o’clock
Tuesday morning of cash and mer-
chandise of a value of some $1,700.00
by a band of thieves who have been
operating in this and nearby towps
for the past eighteen months.
Mr. DeVilbiss, who is manager of
the store stated that of the total sum
lost, $200.00 was in cash. This cash
was taken from the cash register,
which was broken open and the safe
which was opened by the robbers.
The thieves gained entrance through
the front door of the store by making
an opening with a brace and bit
through which they inserted a hand
and released the holt fastening the
door.
The safe was opened by means of
a hammer and punch by removing the
combination dial and then driving out
the lock assembly and from general
appearance was the work of some one
who knew safes and their arrangement.
Sheriff Hunt, who was called to the
scene made a thorough examination
of the premises but did not disclose
any of the clues that he may have
found, though he went to Corpus
Christi and as the result there are four
suspects in jail there.
Several articles taken from the store
were found by citizens at the rear of
the store in the weeds, all of which
w'ere suitable for finger-print working,
w'hich. would give conclusive proof
should the thieves be old offenders
and have their prints registered in
the Department of Justice in any of
the surrounding cities.
Mr. Cage is offering a $200.00 re-
ward for the apprehension of the guilty
parties.
