LEGE GETS BIG FUND.
Frank Briggs, a newspaper
man for many years with the !
Dallas News, and now editor of j
Farm and Ranch, will leave for,
home the last of this week af-j
ter spending two weeks in a!
most pleasant way at the South |
Llano Springs Camp.
Mr. Briggs was accompaniedj
here by his wife and daughter, |
a niece, Miss Ruth Briggs, of
Houston, and Mrs. Krugal of
Dallas. Harry Brill, wife and
son of Houston, are also mem-
bers of the camping party, Mr.
Brill being a nephew of Mr.
Briggs.
While Mr. Briggs came here
primarily to rest and spend a
real vacation on the Llano riv-
ers, having heard so many glow
ing accounts of the country
from Col. Holland, he is also
taking time to get data for two'
or three stories for Farm and
Ranch or Holland’s, that will be!
of untold advertising benefit to
this country.
The editor of The Eagle had i
the pleasure of showing Mr.
Briggs some of the beauty spots
of the county that are not on
the main traveled roads and not
usually visited by tourists. Tues
day he was driven to the head
of Cedar Creek and found much
of interest in the big springs
and other scenery along this
creek, taking a number of pho-
tographs.
The party has been fishing,
bathing, boating and in general
having a good time, and men in
the party regret that business
interests will not permit them
to stay another two weeks, as
the ladies are going to do.
It has been a pleasure for the
Eagle force to have been asso-
ciated with a man connected
with one of the biggest publica-
tions in the State, and from bis
account of his two weeks’ stay j
here, we feel sure that he will;
become as enthusiastic about
the country as his “boss', Col.
Holland, and that he wll become
a regular visitor here.

As a result of the surprising
low Government condition re-
port on the cotton crop as of
July 16, there was a sharp and
sudden advance of $10 a bale in
the cotton market Monday.
A deal was closed last week,
whereby A. P. Urban became
owner of the local ice plant,
which was constructed by W. K.
Snow of San Antonio.

making arrangements to practi-
cally double the capacity of the
plant for next season. The
plant, as has been said in this
paper a number of times, is an
asset to the town.
It gives employment to four

Mr. Pettitt has been in the

The Baptist State Board of
Texas has guaranteed Howard-
Payne College a sufficient in-
come to amount to the proceeds
of an endowment equal to $500,-
000 or equal in .practical results
to the proceeds of an endow-
ment fund in the amount nam-
ed. When Dr. Godbold, presi-
dent of Howard Payne College,
came to Brownwood and deliver-
ed an address several months
previous to taking executive
charge, he declared emphatical-
ly that Howard Payne must
have an endowment. He has
not changed his mind. The ac-
tion of the board while not an
endowment, is the* next best
thing, and Dr. Godbold, as a re-
sult, is well pleased. This ac-
tion of the board enables How-
ard Payne to qualify for admis-
sion in the Southern Associa-
tion of Colleges and secondary
schools.
Graduates at Howard Payne
will be given full credit in all
institutions throughout the Uni-
ted States for work done in the
College of the old home town.
This is an announcement that
means much not only for the
educational welfare of Brown-
wood but for all Central West
Texas.

day about noon, that State Ran-
gers Koonsman and Stanley,

It is stated that a jar and a
jug of liquor was found in the

< rrest was being made, some
member of the family went
from the house and broke the
jug and turned over the jar,
