P. A. Preddy, former Elaine owner
and manager, who met such a tragic
death last February, was greatly in-
terested in the filming of “Rough
Riders.” A large part of the picture
was made at “Hollywood,” San An-
tonio, and Mr. Preddy made a number
of trips over there to watch the film-
ing of the picture. He made the ac-
quaintance of all the star actors in
the picture, and had his picture taken
with Noah Beery, who plays the part
of Sheriff “Hell’s Bells” In tne tatter
part of the story. Mr. Preddy came
into the News office after every visit
to San Antonio, and related to the
force, stories of his acquaintance with
the actors and his belief thpf “Rough
Riders” was certain to be a wonderful
picture. He had the promise of the
picture soon after its release and was
awaiting_with great interest the time
he could present it at his theatre to
the Slnton public, when his untimely
end came.
“The Rough Riders” was shown at
one of the most popular Dallas thea-
tres during the recent Dallas Fair, on
a night when a special birthday pro-
gram was given in honor of a popular
young orchestra leader and his won-
derful orchestra were celebrating their
first anniversary—a year in Dallas.
TWO BRICK BUSINESS
HOUSES TO GO UP
GHOST-TIME AGAIN.
(By Maude Wood Henry.)
In fields the ghostly shocks of corn
Are kept from looking too forlorn
By pumpkins which will soon be seen
Parading round on Halloween,
In company with spooks that are
More shocking than the corn by far.
By night a harvest moon rides high—
A Jack-o'-lantern of the sky,
All ready for that fearsome night
When boys and girls will need its
light
To see the hoot owls and the bats.
The broom-stick, witches and black
cats.
October is a time of joys
For all red-blooded girls and boys;
No sooner has the. month begun
Than preparations for the fun
Of Halloween are in the air
And mystery reigns everywhere.
J. M. Teague, retired business man
of Beeville, has purchased two desir-
able lots, 9 and 10, west of the Redus
building, and will build two modern
brick and tile business houses on
them. It is understood the work will
begin soon. The deal was reported by
W. A. Ficklin, real estate man.
Mr. Teague is the father of Mrs. T.

A letter from Judge M. A. Childers
of San Antonio, who is dear to so
many hearts in Sinton, states to his
friends at the San Patricio County
News office that he is at last recuper-
ating from his recent operation for
appendicitis and will possibly be able
to return borne from the hospital at
the end of this week.
Judge Childers was not well from
the time he presided at the laying of
the corner stone of the new Sinton
court house, finally, he submitted to
medical examination, and subsequent-
ly to operation. He got along nicely
tor a few days after but developed a
complication which kept him in the
hospital for a number of days longer
than he supposed necessary for him to
remain there. He was quite sick, but
is now improving. We take this meth-
od of informing his friends here of his
improved condition.
Three ships are scheduled to arrive
in port. The number includes two
shipping board vessels, and a coast-
wise vessel from Philadelphia.
The Ss. Endicott is expected to
reach here Tuesday to lift cotton for
Havre, Antwerp, Ghent and Rotter-
dam. R. W. Bugg, Corpus Christi
agent for Lykes Bros.-Ripley, is agent
for the vessel.
The Ss.^^JWGst Amagosa, shipping
board, is scheduled to arrive Wednes-
day, Mr. Bugg said. It will take cot-
ton and cake for Breman and Ham-
burg. The West Amagosa was sub-
stituted for the City of Joliet, previous-
ly scheduled.
Moore & McCormack expect the Ss.
Cornucopia, coastwise vessel, to dock
Wednesday with a good cargo of-gMfe
eral merchandise for distribution
throughout Southwest Texas.
The Ms. Femcliff, operated by S.
Sgiscovich & Co. is scheduled to ar-
rive here about November 9 for a car-
go of cotton for Kobe and Yokohama.
R. W. Bugg will handle the Femcliff.

With the results of last Saturday’s
election showing about 20 to 1 in fa-
vor of the Street Improvement Bonds,
Sinton has lifted herself out of the
mud. The proposition is to shell all
of the streets of the city, even to the
outlaying residential districts.
The work will be taken up in thpi
order of streets as published a week or
so ago. Look up the list and you can.
see just the order in which the work
will be done. -j ’ •
Mayor Crow and Commissioners
J. E. Dodson and E. H. Lewis deserve
much credit for this big improvement
move. L ’ .J
Actual work on the streets will be
started as soon as it is possible to at-
tend to the routine work.

This proposition will do more for
Sinton and Sin ton’s future th^a any
one or any dozen things that could be
done. As long as our streets are not
topped, we are in no condition toat-
tract people to our city.
