JUDGE JNO. S. DURST
1 COUNTY TO BE RELEAS- METHODIST SUNDAY
IS OCTOGENARIAN.! ED FROM QUARANTINE.
On Friday. October 21st,
Judge Jno. S. Durst passed his
eightieth milestome on the
pathway of life. Judge Durst
was born inside the old Fort
at Nacogdoches in 1841. His
father was an Alcalde and rep-
resentative under the Mexican
Government. He enlisted
shortly after the outbreak of
the Civil War and was a Cap-
tain in the Army of the Con-
federacy. Out of a family of
twelve children, he and a bro-
ther, Horatio Durst of Leon
county, are the only surviv-
ing members. In 1880 he
moved, to Kimble county,
where he has lived thru nearly
the whole life of the county,
as the county had only been
organized four years, when he
came. He is familiar with all
the early settlers of this sec-
tion of the state. He has been
an active minister of the Gos-
pel since 1864. The service
he ihas rendered to this coun-
try from a ministerial stand-
point alone is inestimable. In
a day when settlements were
few and far between he carried
the gospel to the remotest
parts and was a constant source
of help and inspiration to those
hardy pioneers who establish-
ed homes in the country in the
early days. He has served the
Ghurch of Christ here for many
years without compensation.
He was County Judge of this
county from 1902 to 1910.
Although ten years past his
allotted time, Judge Durst is
still as hale and hearty as most
men twenty or thirty years
younger, and we hope for him
many more years of usefulness.
He is a splendid example of a
man free from any dissipating
habits, and his life from every
standpoint is worthy of emu-
lation.
District Inspector for the
Texas Livestock Sanitary Com-
mission, O. F. Bates, with
headquarters at Brady, was
here last week looking over
the tick eradication work be-
ing done in this county under
Mr. Mason. He found condi-
tions very satisfactory, and his
report was very encouraging.
According to Mr. Bates this
county will very likely be re-
leased from quarantine on De-
cember 1st, this year. There
will probably be a few premi-
ses that will be held under lo-
cal quarantine.
Chas. Luke has recently re-
signed and will be succeeded
by John. Kuntz.

The Free Camp Ground for
Every Body sign that is on the
Camp Site near the South
Llano bridge seems to have
been taken hv numbers of peo-
ple, to mean that it is a free
living quarters for them to
settle on for an indefinite
time and allow their horses
and mules to use up what grass
and weeds grow there, and to
otherwise abuse the camping
privileges. This should be
remedied ,and a decent place
provided there for tourists to
camp where they can find some
accommodation and freedom
from undesirable surroundings.
The present city trash dump-
ing ground situated right along
the drive coming into town
from the east is in such a con-
dition that some steps must be
taken to remove the location
or arrange some method of
getting the trash dumped so it
will not be the first tjhing that
people see when coming into
town. Maybe you haven’t
seen it recently. If not you
have no idea of what it looks
like. It seems that every one
carrying a load of trash there,
stops to unload just a little
nearer the road than the man
before him. A large amount
of tin cans, beef bones, and
every kind ot accumulated
waste is being dumped Jn
twenty feet of the public road.

Last Sunday was spent on
the South Llano. Morning ser-
vices were held at Evergreen.
Some young men very kindly
brought the pastor to Junction
for a funeral in the afternoon
and returned with him to Paint
whfere a houseful of people
gave lose attention to the ser-
mon.
Next month t*,here will be no
morning service at Evergreen
but preaching there at 3 in the
afternoon and at Paint at night.
Sixty people attended the
singnig Friday night. Mr.
Hensley was in fine form to
lead us, and after an hour’s
singing the boys and girls gave
us a spread of bread and sau-
sage around a camp fire. It
was a pleasant way to spend
the evening.
The various circles of the
Woman’s Auxiliary report
good progress in the prepara-
tion of quilts for the Buckner
Home Box. In this connection
the following clipping is of in-
terest :
A Batch of Bread.
Did you ever try to figure
out the amount of bread it
would take to supply 600, or
more, orphan children for one
day?
Here is the recipe which we
follow day by day at Buckner
Orphan Home:
Eight sacks of flour.
Fifteen pounds of sugar.
Six pounds of salt.
Three and one-half pounds of
yeast.
One and one-eights gallons
of cooking oil.
Ten buckets of water.
This recipe makes eight hun-
dred loaves.
Remember that a certain
per cent of all you pay on
your five years pledge goes to
Buckner Home.

SCHOOL NOTES.
On last Sunday morning,
October 23rd, the members of
class No. 7, organized a class
which will be known as the
Wesley Bible Class. Officers
were elected as follows:
Fred E. Knetsch, president.
Mrs. Alfred Hodges, Sec’y-
Treasurer.
Mrs. A. W. Loeffler, teacher.
Mr. Leverkhun, substitute
teacher.
Mrs. Lee Lowery was ap-
pointed chairman of an atten-
dance committee and she will
appoint the rest of the com-
mittee as she needs them. It
will be the duty of this com-
mittee to get in touch with
absent members and learn’ the
cause of their absence.
J. W. Ragland and James A.1
Miller were appointed as a com-
mittee of welcome, who will
take great pleasure in welcom-
ing you to our Sunday school, j
If there is any person in
Junction or its immediate vici-
nity who would like to attend
Sunday school and does not
have a conveyance, if you will
ring up Mrs. Lee Lowery, she
will see to it that you have |
some one call for you every
Sunday morning to take you to
and from Sunday school.
The Sunday school is doing
nicely, the membership is not
as large as we would like to
have it, but we have a zelous
and hard working crowd, whose
efforts, we feel sure, will even-
tually meet with success.

Superintendent.

JUNCTION HIGH .
SCHOOL NOTES.
At the regular meeting Fri-
day afternoon the High School
students voted on several col-
ors. The election proved un-
satisfactory and it was agreed
that we vote again at the next
meeting.
Mr. Greer has resigned as
coach for the giris basket ball
t«arn.
Saturday morning at 6:30
about seven cars and a truck,
loaded with basket ball and
foot ball players started for
Sonora. After about four
hours on the road they arrived
in that little city, and were met
by the basket ball girls.
The girls game .started at
1:30 which ended after 30
minutes of hard playing, with
a score of 8 to 10 in favor of
Sonora.
The foot ball game them
started which ended much more
favorable for Junction. The
score being 47 to 0.
After the games both Junc-
tion teams were taken into the
confectionary and treated to
cold drinks by the Sonora
teams. And again that night
we were entertained with a
party given by Mary Fields.
The majority of the Junction
crowd left Sonora Sunday morn-
ing declaring they never had
a better time.
JUNCTION VS. SONORA
SATURDAY OCTOBER 22.
The game between Junction
and Sonora* played in the fine
athletic j>ark at Sonora was
witnessed by a large
that place as well as people
from this place, Ozona and
El Dorado.
The business houses of So-
nora all closed while the game
was being played, which was
an encouragement to the teams.
The game began with the
regular line-up except Boone
who was out because of in-
juries. Henderson replaced
Boone at center. The entire
team starred. If any indivi-
dual stars could be mentioned
they would be Fisher, Hender-
son, Wolfe, Bissett, Richard-
son and Coleman. All the boys
showed great improvement in
defensive work, and Sonora’s
noted forward-pass
failed to work.
The sensations of the game
were Richardson’s long, well-
placed punts and line-plunging.

We notice in the account of
the recent foot ball game be-
without a squabble, and the
same old friendly rivalry
characterized the entire con-
test.
The final score was 47 to 0
in favor of Junction.
Line up for Junction—Hen-
derson, c; Fisher, rg; Randle,
rt; Blackburn, re; Wolfe, lg;
Smith, It; Martin, le; Bissett,
q; Fairchild, rh; Coleman, Ih;
Richardson, f.
Substitutes for Randle, Wal-
lace; for Blackburn, Mayfield;
for Coleman, Smith; for Smith
Munn.
This was the fourth game
played by the Junction team.
They have won two and lost
two games. They ;have won
from Rock Springs and Sonora
and lost to Ozona and Kerrville.
The points scored by the local
team so far is 104 to 47,
which is in favor of the home
boys.
Rock Springs comes here to
play Saturday the 29th, and
we hope the people here will
turn out in large numbers to
see the local boys defeat Rock
Springs again, as they did at
Rock Springs three weeks ago.

A Retail Merchants Credit
Association is in process of be-
ing formed in Brady this week.
The action follows a meeting
of local business men held last
Friday afternoon, at which the
purpose and plan of operation
of su«h an organization was
fully set forth by State Orga-
nizer Hillan. The plan receiv-
ed hearty endorsement from
the merchants present, and
twenty-two members have al-
ready been signed up.
The campaign for members
is being continued this week,
and it is expected to get even-
merchant in the county signed
up. The local organization will
be affiliated with the state and
national organizations.
Wherever Retail Merchants
Credit Associations have been
organized, they have plajffcd
an important part in estab-
lishing credit for those who de-
serve credit; in siding in the
of
the retail
tween Junction and Kerrville,
which resulted in a score of 6
to 0 in favor of Kerrville that
the statement is made that the
Kerrville team out-played their
rivals more than the score in-
dicated. That seems to us a
very peculiar statement and it
seems that it would be hard
to convince the outside world
that it was the case. Surely
they didn’t mean to imply that
Ihe score was not fairly count-
ed. The score indicates a very
close and well played game, and
it is hardly imaginable ihow a
game could be decided other
than by the score made.
