“The Merry Countess,” a mu-
sical comedy in three acts, writ-
ten, staged and produced by Jim-
mie Holmes, will be presented at
the Acme Theater in the near
future. He will be assisted whol-
ly by home talent, and that mean
the entertainment will be a de-
cided success, as there is an un-
usually high class of local talent
in Aransas Pass. The youngsters
are practicing diligently and
their efforts should be rewarded
with crowded houses.

Uncle Columbus McKibben re
ports very few boats as passing.;^
through the draw bridge this
week, as the recent cold wave
made fishing bad. Trout and
red fish were not biting at all,
and only a few sheephead and
dog fish were biting. He reports
that the two old sports, Davis
and Sherrod, who have not miss-
ed a day, rain or shine, cold or
warm, for months past, are hav-
ing just “oodles” of fun catch-
ing dogfish.
The only matter of import to
come to action was the appoint-
ment of a committee to pass upon
all information regarding real es-
tate values asked for by people
outside the city w*ho make appli-
cation for such information
through the organization.

H. Brooke has returned from
a week’s trip around Palestine,
Tex. During his absence he trav-
eled a good many miles on the
Uaudalupe river between Bloom-
ington and Victoria, where the
government is at work deepening
the channel to make the river
navigable. The government is
.also engaged in deepening the
channel of the Trinity river,
about twelve miles from Pales-
tine.
The Woman’s Missionary So-
ciety met with Mrs. Black at her
home on Rife street last Monday
afternoon. The program for the
day was an interesting study of
“Mexico Today,” conducted by
Mrs. J. B. -Crocker. Arrange-
ments were made to receive the
new pastor and his family, of

Ten members responded to roll
eall.

the Seaboard and Gulf Steamship
Company, with headquarters at
Dallas, Tex., was here this week

deep waterway and predicts that
it will be one of the greatest of
Uncle Sam’s ports.
W. R. Ingram, of the Dessel
Boettler Co., of Corpus Christi,
was in the city this week. With-
out disloyalty to his home city he
said Aransas Pass had a magni-
ficent future before it and that
the deep waterway practically
would make a city that would
extend from Corpus Christi to
Rockport. In short he thought
no one could go wrong who
would link their destinies to the
new port.
The ladies of the Christian
church will have an exchange
tomorrow afternoon at the Young

variety of cooked foods will be
on sale.
Rev. H. M. Perkins left today
for Fort Worth, where he goes
as chairman of the county dele-
gation to the prohibition demo-

will be no services at the Presby-
terian church Sunday.
The ladies of the Baptist
church will have a George Wash-
ington “Pie Sale” Saturday af-
ternoon at the room formerly oc-
cupied by the H. M. T. Hardware'
company. The sale will be con-
ducted all Saturday afternoon so
that parties desiring can pur-
chase home made pies and other
good things for Sunday dinners.

“KATY” SHOULD SEE.
■. !**•■•"--
Aransas Pass is.now known as a
city of certainties, and all Goliad
needs is a railroad therefrom
through this county and possibili-
ties will become realities.—Goliad
Guard.
While Attorney General Ben
Looney is wrestling with the Katy
he ought to be just as persistent as
Jacob in his contest with the angel;
he oughtn’t to turn-loose until they
agree to build through Cuero to
Aransas Harbor. Twenty years of
agitation has failed to inform the
Katy that Aransas is one of the
most promising harbors in the
south. It looks like now that we
are beginning to attract the world’s
commerce to its docks—the Katy
ought to be able to see a real good
thing. Everybody else sees it.—
