An Explanation.
In the columns of last week’s Bea-
con, an account was published of the
League> business and social meeting
at the home of Mr. G. B. Truitt. In
the write.up, the writer made the
following statement:'"Two courses of
Academy counts itself most fortunate | refreshments wore served, the first
consisted of cornbread and butter7
milk, and the second, fruit salad and
wafers.” This assertion with nothing
else attached, would naturally im-
iu having secured him as a member of
the faculty.
Mr. Will Sorrell returned from the
hospital at Galveston Monday where
he went for treatment for a diseased
foot with the expectation that the
member would ptobably have ’to be
amputated, but which was found not
ueci sR»ry,.a surgical operation and
local treatment resulting in improve-
ment and which it is expected will re-
sult in a permanent cure.
The advanced work at Palacios
Academy this year will cover the
freshmen year of junior college, offer-
ing an advantage that will be appre-
ciated by high school graduates who
cannot at onco enter college as it
sav, s them one year in tlie higher j the “goods delivered” to them, tlie
nature of the contents was of course
discovered. President.
The Beacon gives no credit to the
rumor of the death of J. P. Banks in
the storm at Port Arthur. We have
relatives io that city who are well
acquainted with Mr. Banks, and if
such rate had befallen him they would
9urely know it, and they mention no-
thing of the kind in any of the sever-
al letters received from them since
the storm.
Later.—Since the above was put in
type friends have received word from
part the impression that the hosts .-*'111 be was unharmed by the
served cornbreaa and buttermilk for ! 9(orm. We felt confident all the time

order is, that the League furnished 18lornl 10 get away with Jim.
refreshments, nnd the “cornbread and
buttermilk department,” which was
intended for a joke, waa known only to
three or four, and tbe “three or four”
were those who furnished the corn-
bread and buttermilk. In serving, each
guest was served with a plate cover-
ed with a paper napkin with instruc-
tions not to look into It until
Paint and Not
Paiut was so high the last few years
the market was Hooded with trash.
What is trash?
It looks like paint pretends (to be
paiut but isn’t worth painting. It
every | costs a painter’s day’s-work to put on
solitiol High school students of
Palacios and in this seotion of the
State should and will take advantage
of tills oreat advantage offered by tlie
Academy. See announcement in an-
other column.

Geo. W. Oiongh, of PrentlS9, Miss.,
is seventy-seven years old and had
trouble with his kidneys for many
years. He writes that Foley Kidney

Add that to the price of a gallon.
That Is tbe cost of a gallon. Devoe
