Pursuant to call of the direc-
tors, the regular stockholders of
the Yoakum Creamery Co. met
Monday evening to take into con-
sideration the affairs of the in-
stitution and devise plans for its
further successful operation.
About three-fourths of the stock
was represented and showed
that the business had doubled in
the last year, though an indebt-
edness to the amount of $700
remained. An effort was made
to lower the price paid for cream
so as to pay off the debt quickly,
but the sense of the council
slowly prevailed to pay the high
est possible price for cream
though the payment of the debt
should be slower. It was de-
cided to renew the note for loaned
money that the creamery has
been operating on, each stock-
holder being required to endorse
same.
The following directors were
elected: J. E. Lander, A. H.
Harndon, F. A Schubel, George
Wehmann, Alex. Stoermer, E.B.
Carruth and Dr. W. Shropshire.
The following officers were
elected :
J. E. Lander, president.
A. H. Harndon, vice president.
Dr. W. Shropshire, secretary.
Ed. B. Carruth, treasurer.
A peculiar and noticeable fea-
ture in this institution is that the
directors are largely composed of
its best paying patrons, thus se-
curing to customers the highest
price for cream that can honestly
be paid, as they set the price for
cream. It is a good card for this
institution that those who supply
cream to it are at the same time
Thomas.
After the ceremony the guests
partook of an elegant dinner, fol-
lowing which on their way to the
depot the newly wedded couple
were accompanied by a host of
friends as they were aoout to de-
part on their bridal tour to Waco,
Dallas and Fort Worth and from
thence to their future home in
Granite City, Illinois. At the
depot the party were met by a
reinforcement of acquaintances
and well-wishers, with supplied
rice, which was thrown to the
amount of something less than a
barrel of the succulent grain,
amid volleys of gay badinage and
laughler,
The groom, Mr. Post, who has
a wide circle of friends in this
section, is a hustling young man,
who, though young in years has
by dint of straightforward, hon-
est and persevering effort ad-
vanced to the responsible position
of foreman of the American Steel
Foundries at Granite City 111., an
institution that occupies no mean
place in the list of prominent
and flourishing industries of the
country. He started out a few
years ago with the determination
to do something for himself and
nobly has he succeeded. He is
worthy in every respect of the
trust reposed in him and is fol-
lowed to the home to which he
takes his fair young bride by the
well-wishes of Yoakum’s best
citizenship.
The bride, who was Miss Susie
Harding,one of Yoakum’s fairest
daughters, has made her home
with Mr. and Mrs. Baby, being
Mrs. Baby’s sister, for years, is
a lovely and accomplished young
lady whose beauty is not alone of
the face, for her gentleness of
manner and winsome smile has
been the open sesame to all who
were fortunate enough to know j Stai.

It pays to hang on like a pup-
py to a root and bluff down all:
the little obstacles of life. Ten
years ago a farmer, thirty-three |
I years of age, took a load of hogs j
to town and sold them for $95.45. \
With this money he paid the col-
lector of taxes on the farm he I
was trying to own, paid :he |
grocer a bill long due, called at ]
the bank and paid for an extin- j
tion of half a dozen notes, paid
the attorney thirty dollars on a1

is consistent in trying to maintain
as young an age as possible—in
point of his own claims, having
told that he was sixteen, but
later admitting that he was just
past that age. Our judgment
from his appearance is not under
nineteen, well developed but not
large for his age. He is slightly
under height for his years, too.
Asked immediately concerning
the crime. he denied seeing it but
told his old story about two men
! taking him to the house of the
Condits. He also denied that
Felix Powell, lately hanged at
Victoria, was one of these and
refused to say more than that
both were black and strangers to
him. About his escape and hiding
in the barn he said he came out
of the barn frequently at night
and that he made his presence
there known of his own accord.
He said he went directly to this
barn as soon as he escaped from
the Edna officers. Monk claims
to be able to read some but says
he does not write, being unable
to write even his name. Monk i rj^js js
said he had done considerable | onjy
plowing before he took this job1
from Mr. Condit. It takes a cork-
screw to get anything out of
Monk as he is a fine evader and
we are not disposed to attach any
amount of credence to anything
he says. He says he is tired of
being in jail and had much rather
be out making his own living.He
says he saw the death-trap sprung
with Felix Powell and admitted
that it didn’t look good. Judges

toria are Monk’s lawyers. — Cuero
half dollars in his pocket. That
night the grocer paid his clerk
and delivery boy and the latter
hired himself to the skating rink
and the clerk to his best girl.
Together they attended a social
ball where they met the bank
cashier. The tax collector went
home and enjoyed a choice Ha-
vana cigar at his own fireside
while the farmer and his wife
spent the evening in poring over
a sheet of figures trying to cal-
culate how to meet the spring
interest on the farm mortgage.
Today the clerk is still a clerk, the
delivery boy is running a bowl-
ing alley for another person, the
cashier of the bank is dead, the
lawyer has gone to Denver and
is booming a fake mining scheme,
and the tax collector is running
a snide real estate .office in
Pueblo, while the farmer and
his wife drive to town in a sur-
rey and this winter are spending
several weeks in California, leav-
ing the ranch in the care of a
j bright seventeen year old son.
It'u;,. a very true story and
one of many such.—La

the matter said that no man who
had ever patronized a creamery
would attempt to make his own
butter or fail to improve his herd
of milkers. Seeing his check
amounting each month' nearly to
the sum of $200 in payment for
cream is proof convincing that
he knows whereof he speaks.
The creamery business is tak-
ing such a hold on the minds of
people all over the state and ad-
joining states as a paying invest-
ment that it seems that nothing
but absolute denseness would
prevent those who are in posi-
tion from taking advantage of
its offer. A great increase in its
business has been shown by the
creamery, but if properly sup-
ported by home product the com
pany would be forced to enlarge
its present capacity. Be consid

Is as good to-day as when first uttered.
The tendency for years has been to push
westward and the immigration from the North
and East and the overflow from the thickly pop-
ulated counties of Texas will continue westward
so long as there is anv undeveloped country in
that direction. This being so, it is strange in-
deed that those with money to invest will hesi-

offered them. At this time there are thousands %

Citizens of theGrowing New Town
Prepairing for a Big Crowd.
W. L. Johnston, of the real es-
tate firm of Will Johnston & Co.,

visit to Nixon Wednesday reports
to The Times that the enterpris-
ing citizens of that growing town
are preparing to entertain a
large number of visitors on next
Thursday, June 20th, the date
set for the town’s first barbecue
and celebration. Ten fat beeves
and as many head of mutton will
be barbecued for the occasion,

sian water will be plentiful on
the grounds and an enjoyable

A special train will be run from
Victoria, leaving there at six in

Yoakum desiring to go can make
connection with the special train
by going on the Davy Crockett

the morning, reaching Cuero
at 3:40. Yoakum, it is thought,

cordial invitation to partake of
their generous hospitality on this
