Prom the News.
J. W. Longley sold his 30-acre
pasture adjoining the Old Town
on Mill dreek to J. A. Sloan, con-
sideration S6.000.
R. M. Lewis has just complet-
ed a new residence and W. J.
Millican will begin work on one
this week in the Bend section.
That does not sound like hard
times much. But then these
boys are irrigating their land.
Fire caught in the union gin
and caused considerable excite-
ment for awhile Monday morn-
ing. It broke out in one of the
gin stands and was carried thru
the flue into the condenser.
Prompt action, however, put the
flarhes out in a moment of time.
J. H. Flick, president of the
Flick Construction Co., of Mem-
phis, Tennessee, came to San
Saba Sunday and went on to-
ward Brady Monday looking over
the Santa Fe survey. He is get-
ting ready to bid on the work of
building the Lometa-San Saba
extension in a very few days.
The surveyors have completed
the survey from Lometa to the
west line of San Saba county
They met at the Colorado river
near Chadwicks Mill Wednesday.
It is understood from Mr. Mass-
enberg that the grade from town
to the Colorado river on the south
side of the San Saba river will be
much better than he expected
before going over the ground.
The next thing is construction
work. “Play ball.”
Capt. W. S. Yoe suffered a
stroke of paralysis last Monday
morning about o o’clock. Mrs.
Yoe was away from home visit-
ing at Hamlin, Texas, and he was
alone at the time of the stroke
and it was some time before he
was able to call for assistance.
Dr. W. F. Sorell was called and
found the left side affected. He
is now some better, having re-
gained the use of the left hand
and arm to some extent.
M. J. Roach, Walter Stansell
and P. McCadden, railroad build-
ers from Memphis, Tennessee,
passed through town Friday go-
ing over the route of the Santa
Fe survey with a view of bidding
on the work of construction in a
few days. It has not been given
out just when the actual con-
struction work will begin but
these contractors say that their
instructions are that if they want
to bid on this work to “get busy.”
This looks quite a deal like there
may be something doing pretty
soon.

: Unknown Man HangtfL
H. T. Pace came in from Lo-
meta about 2 o’clock this after-
noon and reported that he had
seen a man hanging from a tree
on the west sicie of the Lometa
road some five or six miles from
Lampasas. The man had erected
a pile of rocks and after adjust-
ing a short rope to his neck and
tying the other end to the limb of
a tree had kicked the rocks from
under his feet and remained sus-
pended by the rope. Appear-
ances indicated that he had been
dead two or three hours.
Sheriff Mace, Justice Nichols,
T. H. Haynie, Mayor McGuire
and others went out to view the
body which is not yet identified.
Mr. Pace says the man was
dressed in the garb of a laborer,
but he did not recognize him.
E. L. Byrd, who came to Lam-
pasas over the road near which
the body was found, reports that
he met a stranger who had a
small piece of rope about him.
The officers made an examina-
tion of the body and found only
a letter apparently addressed to
L. L. Lee and dated at Zephyr,
and signed Jane Lee. The
man was apparently about
fifty years of age. The of-
ficers are bringing the body here
and will await instructions if
trace can be found of his people
at Zephyr.
The Pros Will Not Contest.
Temple, Texas, Sept. 23.—The
Bell county commissioners court
held a regular session yesterday
for the purpose of canvassing the
vote cast at the local option elec-
tion held in Bell county Septem-
ber 11 and officially declaring the
result. It was found that for pro-
hibition there were 3121 votes,
and against prohibition 3334
votes, giving an official anti ma-
jority of 213.
It is announced that the prohi-
bition leaders have abandoned
their original intention to contest
the result of the election.
Mrs. Higdon Entertains.
A social event long to be re-
membered was the one given by
Mrs. A. L. Higdon as a farewell
to Miss Myrtle Barnes Thursday
morning when she entertained
three tables at 500. Miss Ruby
Leverett was awarded the first
prize, which was a danity hand-
kerchief and Miss Myrtle Barnes
was given as a guest prize a
pair of lovely bed room slippers.
Refreshments served in college
colors, yellow and white, con-
sisted of chicken salad served in
yellow cases, tomatoes with
mayonnaise, crackers and ice
-tea.
following were present:

The San P^raar
says: “The manner in which 'a
boy spends the hours between
supper and bed time determines
the character of man he will
make.” There is a world of
truth in this paragraph, and
parents can not keep too close an
eye on the boys during this
period of every twenty-four
hours.—Denison Herald.
It is so full of truth that it de-
serves the thoughtful considera-
tion of every parent. Boys who
habitually roam the streets after
nightfall, who are required to
render no account to the parental
authority, and who conduct their
youthful lives along whatever
lines they choose, are almost
certain to go wrong sooner or
later. A boy’s parents owe it to
him to save him from that which
he does not know how to save
himself from.—Dallas News.
Two Bales la ihe km.
The best demonstration of The
value of deep plowing and in-
tense cultivation which has come
under my observation, I saw at
Denison, Tex., during a recent
visit to that place. John F. Ba-
ker, manager of the Industrial
Cotton Oil Company, is growing
three acres in cotton near his
mill, from which he has already
gathered four bales, and in
which there are at least two
bales matured and yet to pick.
The history of the cultivation of
this crop shows conclusively that
the largest part of the credit for
this higgh yield is due to the
amount and jnethod of cultiva-
tion. The land was broken early
in December') last, to a depth of
ten inches, aihd again on Feb. 25
to the same )depth. On March
17 the land w(rs bedded and the
seed planted owthe bed, covered
barely an incAh. This planting
came up within! ten days, but
when six or eigM inches high
was entirely killed (by frost. The
field was planted the\second time
on May 8 and 10 at\ about the
same depth, and in seVen days
thereafter began to canine up.
The first cultivation was. given
about two weeks after thej plant
showed above the ground!, and
nine workings were given there-
after, the last being the breaking
of the middies about the
August.
This shows two breakings, one
bedding, twrr Wfantings and ten
workings, the fatter being given
at internals ef7one week. Owing
to unfavorable conditions during
the early part 'of the^growing sea-
son, a large part of t$e field has
a very poor stand, andf the whole
plaL averaging about$() or 85 per
c,dnt. The rpws 3h*e five feet
apart and the plaja^sare about an
average of eighteen to twenty
inches in tha^drili. The plants
will averaa^a little above waist
high, but/have spread out until
they me»t in the rows. Some

School days are with us again
and twice a day young America
takes possession of the sidewalks.
Let ’em have them. They are
entitled to the best we have, and
besides, we’ve got to, anyway,
or get run over. We owe them
good dry sidewalks to travel
over, and a decent atmosphere,
free from profanity and obscence
talk, through which to make
their trip to and from school.—
