Untrained minds and misdi-
rected efforts are keeping Jots of

class.
Newton discovered the power

us the first balloon but history
does not record the man that
invented the way to stand still.
—Make your town a place
where people are glad to live;
not a stopping place in the jour-
ney through life whore everyone
is looking for a chance to change
residence, but a garden of eden,
as it were, whore peace and pros-
perity go hand in hand.
A car load of lettuce was re-
ceived at Kansas City, Mo., two
weeks ago from Kingsville, Tex.,
and brought nearly sixteen hun-
dred dollars when sold to local
produce merchants. Cabbage
from Texas has been bringing-
sixty dollars per ton on that
market and the first winter cab-
bage was received from Corpus
Christi.
Much interest was centered
arouud the depot Friday night
when a monster Jersey bull was
unloaded from the express car.
The animal was crated and came
all the way from Lowell, Mass.,
and was consigned to. Ed La wa-
ter at Falfurrias. It was a fine
animal and must have cost a;
goodly sum of money as the ex-
press charges alone amounted
to flit.—Skidmore Signal.

—We learn that Martin O’Con-
nor and F. P. Marberry will
erect a large store house on the
former’s farm between Tivoli
and Austwell and open an ex-
tensive mercantile business, to
be under the management of Mr.
Marberry, who was formerly a
prosperous merchant at Mari-
ana. Success to the new enter-
prise.
—The trappers are bdW begin-
ning to complain of wolves get-
ting scarce on the praires in this
section of country. When the
nfew bounty law went into effect
on the tilst of last September
wolves were quite numerous all
over the prairies of this county,
but after so many trappers came

—One of the most helpful cam-
paigns yet inaugurated by the
St. Louis, Brownsville aud Mex-
ico railway is that for the en-
couragement Of the potato in-
dustry now in progress. Dr. H.
H. Harrington, Agricultural Di-
rector of the Frisco Liues, whose
office is at Kingsville, Texas is
in charge Of the campaign. Dr.
Harrington has recently pub-
lished a complete treatise on po-
tato culture which is being sup-
plied free to auy one who will
write for it. This pamphlet is
the result of years of Study and
observation and is regarded as
one of the most valuable works
ou potato culture ever pub-
lished. It is condensed and is
Written iu clear Simple words
that make it easily understood.
It tells all about how to grow
potatoes under the conditions
prevailing in the coast country.
J. O. Rigby was up from the Sarco
district last Monday add paid this of-
fice a call. Mr. Rigby is one of the
most remarkable men that has ever
been our pleasure to know. He is 81
yfearS old and hasn’t a gray hair in
his head. He has three sons over 50
years bid, and several • months ago he
posed in a picture as the head of four
generations of Rigbvs. He says he
fbels like a boyj and to prove this as-
sertion proceeded to jump up and kick
his heels together. He has sben Pres-
idents inaugurated since Clay’s inaug-
uration and his birthday is the same
as that of^Texas.—Goliad Guard.
Refugio also has a remarkable
man iu the person of W. B.
(Uncle Bill) Doughty. He is 86
years old and hasn’t a black
hair in his head. We don’t know
how high Uncle Bill can jump,
but we’ll bet a dime to a ginger
cake that he ban get out to-
morrow and do as much plow-
ing or 3wood chopping as any
Other man ih Refugio or Goliad
County.
Future <n%ifs will give us the
laugh if the present Legislature
does not meet situations which
will be created by the opening of
the Panama canaL This is the
last Legislature that will be in
session before the canal is open
and if theflood of commerce that
will move southward to pass
through the canal is,to secure an
outlet through the Texas ports,
Texas must he doubled tracked.
It will also require 10,000 miles
more of railroad to afford mar-
ket facilities for the products of
our fertile farm lands aud our
public highways must have mil
lions of dollars spent upon them
in order to properly handle the
traffic. Legislative machinery
is necessary to decelerate con-
struction and it is for the inyen-
tive mind of the Legislature to
afford relief.
—To run a newspaper all a
fellow has to do is to be able to
write pohms, discuss the tariff
and money questions, umpire a
baseball game, report a wed-
ding, saw wood, describe afire
so that the readers will shell
their wraps, make $1 do the
work of $10, shine at a dance,
measure calico, abuse the liquor
habit, test whisky, subscribe to
charities without meals, attack
free silver, wear diamonds, in-
vent advertisements, sneer at
snobbery, overlook scandal, ap-
praise babies, delight pumpkin
raisers, minister to the afflicted,
heal the disgrunted, fight to a
finish, set type, mold opinions,
sweep the office, speak at the
prayer meetings and stand it
with everybody and everywhere.
JETER & GO.
No firm is meeting with or
deserving of greater success
than the one above named.
Their’s as you well know, is
a general store, aud is filled
to the walls with staples.
Buying at the right season,
at the right place, and in
large quantities, give them
an advantage, in the way of
price concessions, that many
smaller firms are unable to
obtain. This firm believes in
the judicial and systematic
usiug of printer’s ink, hence
their large business has been
built up, in no small sense,
because of publicity. Ag-
gressive pushing, reliable,
trustworthy, accommodat-
ing, make this store a place
where one can trade with
pleasure—and profit.
According to a report recently
issued by the Secretary of the
Agricultural Department stock
raising is among the chief re-
sources of Texas. The total
number of livestock in this s#fat‘e
on January 1, 1912 was 12,-
679,000 and valued at $304,-
833,000.
The Texas cotton crop in 1911
was 4,297,248 bales, valued at
$230,910,000.
In the Commissioners’ Court of
Refugio County, Texas.

site notices have been given in the
manner and for the length of time re-
quired by law ; said election was or-
dered to be so held to determine
whether or not the sale of intoxicating
liquors shall be prohibited in said
Justice precinct No. six of Refugio
county, Texas ;
And the court having opened the
polls, as shown by the returns of said

the votes cast at the same, as shown
by said returns; and it appearing to

fairly made, and the result fully as-
certained at said election so held as
aforesaid, that there werd cast at said

Votes “Against Prohibition” in said
precinct ;
And the majorities of all the legally
qualified voters of said Justice pre-
cinct No. six of Refugio county, Texas,
voting at said election did vote “For
Prohibition.”
Now, therefore, it is hereby by the
Commissioners’ court of Refugio
county, Texas, pursuant to Article
3721 of Title 88 of the Revised Civil
Statues of the State of Texas, for the
year 1911, by this order declared that

pose.
The report of our Federal Immi-
gration department shows that 37,-
000 Greeks came to the United
•States last year to find hones and
Texas is the state most favored by
Greek immigration. The per cent of
Greeks departing from the United
States is less than that of any oth-
er nationality.- Their oeeapaturns
show that they do the Ob ores of in-
dustry rather than manage its ai>.
fake or rule in the profession^ yet
notable exceptions encourage the
tony that this fallen race limy again
;dmb to the pinnacle of power.
Thev are the descendants of meft
-'/ho spuhe with the tongues of utf-
yeis; wheoe nation lifted civil nation
io' its mo.-t towering Mights- and
whose citizenship gave the world the
fiOfct polished and powerful products
of the human race. Cut loose from
rive sou.no of their inspiration, they
have lost their way in civikation aud
•Idle vve study with profound rev-
•-enee the masterful works of their
•'o vfathers, the present generation
lacks oik shoes, sells us popcorn
md runs bur errands.
There is no better location on th#;
globe for these people to regain their'•
prestige than in Texas; we are
fast being recognized as the nursery j
jf art. science, literature and indus-
try, and society is laden with healing -
balms that will revive stunned races
and invigorat'd subdued mankind.
The history of the Greek race aU
fords a most fertile field let the
study of government, society and
man. As a nation their statesmen
truck the solid rode of wisdom and
% stream of inspiration gushed forth
filling the world with power, ambi-
tion and beauty. Watered by the
fountains of government, society
yielded its golden fruit and fired by
an ambition to serve’ mankind its peo-
ple made civilization quiver with
poems, tremble with eloquence,
charmed with art and mastered with
philosophy.
This gem of nations when touched
by the blight of dissension in gov-
ernment and foilv in leadership
withered and faded away. There is
no greater force in human life than,
government and to wield its power3
ihtelligently is the highest function
of man.
