To Our Friends and Customer* In Hebbronrille:
It is human nature in business to pet all it* trade
you can; the consumer on the other hand want* to see hia
town progress; you can never build up your town by Bend-
ing away for everything you need; if you have good mer-
chants in your town, patronize them; we feel that they may
not be in position to supply some of your wants arid that
is the part of your trade we would appreciate and give
you service.

klip* tn« ladies would have to forgive
him arid < hargt it up to his em-
i arra*«ment.
He paid handsome tribute* to
bronvllle and Jim Hoi.-a County; to
the men who made them wliat they
are. ; nd especially to the fair women,
nh<> wire responsible for the good
actions, not the bad ones, of the no n,
; nd whose presence on such occasions
was an inspiration. He toll) how dis-
appointed he was that one of the
•'notorious cow-thieves' he was after
wa» not present and that as cow-
(m>>s n« ver suid mean thing* to a
man's back, and being an old cow-
boy himself, he would refrain from
l mentioning the name of either of the
gentlemen he had In mind. < Every-
body seemed to know, however, that
he was talking about Oscar Thomp-
son and Tom Hast.) He complimen-
ted The Hebbronvllle News on "the
good work it is doing for this por-
tion of the 8tute” and said "it was
one paper he always looked for and
always read." He referrefl vo Colon-
el Jones as a great cattleman and
landowner and said his name was a
most familiar one In tpe financial cir-
cles of New York and other cities
‘of the North and Hast. "Henry KUds,"
he said. "Is not the wealthiest cat-
tleman In Texas, hut I regard him us
one of the greatest, one who has
studied and has become acquainted
with all the fine points of cattle-rais-
ing and who. as a trader, is second to
none of them.” He sang the praises
of the Jim Hogg County cattlemen
in general, and. "being such good
men, they would be at home In hea-
ven, if any*of them ever got there."
Following the conclusion of Mr.
noses’ speech, announcement was
made that the rodeo would at on. e
take place, and to this the large
crowd repaired in short order, the
rodeo and horse-raring taking place
a short distance from the barbecue
grourdf. where a race-track had been
laid off. The races came first, be-
ing between saddle horse# r«tse» «•
the Edds and other near-by ranches.
In the first race, a 300-yard dash,
Boyd Guilford, riding a Henry Edds
horse, captured first money, time be-
ing 17 seconds. in the race, John
Draper, riding a Henry Edds horse,
got second money. There were five
entries in this race.
In the second race, five entries.
Charley Craighead won first monej
riding a Henry Edds horse, time 16
seconds. In this race J. K. Barfield,
riding his own horse, got second
money. The Edds horses ridden in
the races were raised on the Edds
ranch in this county.
In the goat-roping contest, there
were many contestants, resulting in
Will McMurry getting first prize.
Time, 16 seconds. Doe Manning won
second prize in 16 Hi seconds, and
Kobert Holblen got third prize in 17
seconds.
In *he l roncho busting there were
four oon*e‘tants, Oscar Thompson, Jr.,

Bailey Eanford, the latter from Car-
rizo Springs. All rode equally as well

ami Harry Corgan, the two la«t nam-
ed I'rcm Crestonio, tried for the
prize, a money Jack-pot, but as they
tied, the pot was divided equally be-
tween them.
This conclude! the field programme.
when the crowd, those who didn't go
home, returned to the barbecue
grounds and enjoyed supper, more
than 1.00 partaking oT this second re-
past. Dancing, which was a leading
feature of the programme, was in-
dulged in at intervals throughout the
day and at night until a late hour.
Music was furnished by a Laredo
orchestra, composed of young Mexi-
can men, and they played early and
late, never seeming to tire.
NOTES OF THE CELEBRATION
Barrels of iced lemonade and Ice-
water furnished drink for the thirsty.
Oscar Thompson, as general in chief
of the day, fit in splendidly and did
his duty full and well.
Mr. A. J. Neff, who supplies Heb-
bronvllle with Ice. brought his fam
lly out from Iziredo and all reported
a most pleasant and enjoyuble time.
Nobody enjoyed the barbecue and
dancing any more than did Mrs.
Judge Broeter of Alice, who was
there as the guest of Mrs. Barney
Anderson.
John Hlnnant and Mrs. Hinnant
were among the Falfurrias people
who honored the occasion with their
presence and who, of course, had a
good time.
There were greased poles for the
boys to climb, but If any one got
to the top and secured the stiver
dollar up there, the reporter failed
to get his name.
Gene Garner, In direct charge of
the barbecue, who had the pits dug
and supervised the cooking of the
meats, deserves a crown of ros< a for
the part h>* played.
Dud David superintended the work
of dishlna out the haibccue to the
hungry and if you think Dud didn't
do it to the queen's ti*t* it's bi-
cause you were not there.
Sheriff Pel Harblaon who was In
eharge of the parking, with several
able assistants, saw that tilings mov-
ed smoothly and without a hitch,
ulthoiigli there were some 300 autos
on the ground.
Wilbur Allen was there rt.vwed as
a rancher, but he couldn't fool Day-
ton Moses, who knew of Wilbur's
propensity for associsting with royal-
ty and how he had once tried to
put lour queens over Dayton’s four
klngc.
one of the mo*t Interesting events
of the day was Iteub Holblen trying
tr. teach old-fashioned Ace Draper
how to do the glide. In dancing,
however, Ace's feet Interfere with

Dayton Moses and his chapiron, A
Captain Ryan, were late in joining
in the dancing, hut once well on their
way they didn’t know how to quit
and Henry Edds had to rope them
before th«y realized that for them
the quitting hour hud arrived.
Frank <’lurk came over from lteuli.
tos with his family, but when the
dunce music struck up. his family
had to get along without him, for
Frank had rather "trip the light fan-
tastic toe,” than eat a neighbor's calf
when the neighbor wasn't looking.
Cotton Wright and Mrs. Wright
drove over front Banquete and Mrs.
Wright said it was the pleasantest
Fourth of July she ever spent in her
life. "And don't forget," said Mrs.
Wright, "I am coming over to your
next barbecue whether Cotton comes
or not."
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Alexander drove
out from Laredo, arriving early and
staying late. Mr. Alexander, who is
president of the lairedo National
Bank, suid it was certainly a pleasure
to get out ami spend a day' like this,
with no business matters to think
about and doing nothing but have a
good time. And Mrs. Alexander echo,
ed the sentiment.
W. A. Major and a friend who had
just landed were walking from the
auto parking grounds to the dancing
pavilion, where most of the crowd
had assembled. Major leading the
way. When the friend lagged be-
hind a little. Major yelled back:
’Come on; have a little speed.” When
the friend caught up he quietly said:
Major, I came out with Bill Acklen
In his car and I have had speed
enough to last me the balance of the
year.” Major knew this was no Joke,
for he himself had ridden with Mr.
Acklen.
Mrs. Garner, wife of the Congress-
man. Mrs. Tully Garner and little
three-year old Genevieve Garner,
were looked after by a delegation of
ladies headed by Mrs. Henry Edds.
and Mrs. Garner said when she got
back to Washington and told her
friends there of the delightful time
she had away down here in the Heb-
bronvllle country and of the match-
less barbecue she enjoyed, that she
would excite the envy of all of them
and that they would be in for taking
a trip to Hebbronvllle right away.
Talking to a crowd of men at the
barbecue grounds, Congressman Dar-
ner told this one on himself: "Be-
fore the end of tne lust Session of
Congress l had a pretty serious spell
of sickness. Several physicians, one
from Johns Hopkins, were in at-
tendance, when one of them was ask-
ed by a visiting Congressman how-
condition was. ‘He as one
thance In five.’ was the reply. ‘Then
he’s all right,’ said the congressman.
•He only needs one chance in ten any
cld time.’ The doctor told me about
this and 1 think It helped me along.”
Barney Anderson, one of the big
three who comprised the general com-
mittee, "seen his duty and done it.”
Barney is a regular barbecue fiend,
but he first saw, as far as he could,
that everybody was fed up before he
tackled that calf's head which had
been reserved for the faithful.
Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Presnall were
here from Alice and met many-good
friends who left nothing undone to
make the day one of pleasure for
them. "The only trouble I exper-
ienced.” said Mr. Presnall. ’’was that
I couldn't cat more barbecue than I
did. As It was. though, I ate my
share and we enjoyod the occasion
greutly.”
In making special mention of
some who were present and who as-
sisted in making the celebration the
success it was, and in omitting the
names of others, the reporter begs to
say that he hopes no one will feel
slighted. Every man and women
who assisted in the celebration, did
their part faithfully and well and }
proved conclusively to the visitors
that Hebbronvllle hospitality knows
no limit. These good men and wo-
r.ien were untiring in their efforts to
make visitors feel at home and they
deserve unstinted praise for the
splendid Impression they made with
the many who came us strangers and
went uway as friends.
