THE HEBBRONVILLE NEWS

A town with an airport receives
much free advertising. Maps showing
towns and the surrounding country are
placed throughout-the country. It
won’t be long until it will be as nec-
essary for an airport, as it has for
good roads. Especially is this true
where oil developments are going on.
The wide publicity of the EPCO
publications, is quite an advertise-
ment for this section of the country.
Throughout the state, in every news-
paper publication directory, the larger
advertising agencies of the United
States, it is known that the EPCO
publications cover a field of the finest,
the most productive and fastest grow
ing section of Texas. Each town with
an EPCO publication reaps the bene-
fit of this well established organiza-
tion.
Several years ago a struggling
young attorney, acting as county
surveyor on the side, was “hoofing”
rough hills, [following ravines, and
people wondered why he would fool
with the county surveyor’s job. But
he was studying the anticlines and
other surface indications of oil. The
records would show transfers, some
in fee simple and some for leases and
royalty to him. When the oil strike
finally came, this young attorney was
there with his holdings. Today he is
among the millionaires, and a news
item carried this week says “Col. E.
W. Whitney of Wewoka, Okla, has
purchased a ranch in south Texas of
500 acres. He will start the construc-
tion of a modern $50,000 home in
October and put out the 500 acres in
citrus fruit.” Very likely he will spend
over a quarter million in South Texas.
The oil flows thru the pipeline to
South Texas, and many of the Okla-
homans are investing large sums of
the oil royalty in South Texas, where
the climate is ideal, the fertility of
the soil unsurpassed, together with
a citizenship of hospitality and a
country where health, happiness and
prosperity is furnished in many lo-
cations for the asking.
from shouting the sale of newspapers.
To take the life out of the boy, and
curb his newsie cries, why not then
go farther and stop him from a swim
in the creek. To stop him from the
very things it takes to make him a
great business or professional man
some day—the selling and letting the
public know what he has for sale, is
going too strong. The man who has
so quickly forgotten his boyhood days
surely does not need a legislative
berth, even as a councilman of a
city.
According to the Center Point Jour-
nal, Col. Ray Gardner, age 83, among
the last surviving old army scouts, in
the edge of Center Point, and while
on scout duty was captured by the
Indians and kept a captive for sever-
al years, made a talk to the Boy
Scouts of that town. Bringing back
the days, of his scout work, explaining
the hardships of the pioneer days,
surely was interesting to the young
lads of this day, who, while not of
the scout class of those days, carry
the name of this, the most honorable,
and most dependable for the Govern-
ment.
MISTRESS BURTON
The following poems are by one of
Texas own poets. Margaret Sealy
Burton, daughter of the late Geo.
Sealy, Banker of Galveston. Mrs.
Burton’s poems are full of sympathy
and human understanding as well as
keen wit that can also see the funny
things in life.
—The Editor
THE MOONLIT TRAIL
The slaying of the district attorney
at Borger, brings that oil town in
the lime-light of publicity again—and
in a bad way too. Oil towns are made
overnight into cities and while those
in legitimate business prosper, prop-
erty owners become wealthy, and the
oil field worker labors hard—yet ev-
ery crook and outlaw heads to these
places. They will resort to murder to
carry their point of lawlessness.
Within each Soul there lies a hallowed
vale.
Where weary thoughts and hopeless
Sorrows cease,
Wherein one enters silent and content,
Unburdened roams, along the paths of
peace.
No worldly echoes jar or contradict,
No foiled ambitions, fret the Soul’s
calm hush,
While loitering thru the moonlit trail
of dreams
We tint the foliage there with imag-
ery’s brush.
’Tis surcease, bliss, yet wistful sad-
ness too,
Falk on the heart., within that shelter-
ed land.
We ling’ring wonder who hath passed
before,
And long to clasp an understanding
hand.
There lies the twilight of our > hopes
and fears,
For worldly cares have with the sun-
shine flown;
Our visions are fulfilled with magic
skill,
Altho mayhap, we tread that trail
alone.
—Margaret S. Burton,

WOMAN
Here lies the body of Mistress Burton,
Altho she’s dead, There’s one thing
certain,
You needn’t to think cause she’s out
of sight
She’s resting quiet in her coffin
tight;
For wherever she is—It’s clear to say
She’s acting the same in her darned
old way.
She’s got the Spooks trained to a Heav
enly choir
Or shakng the coals to a red hot
fire.
But wherever she's at, or wherever
she’s gone,
You can bet your last dollar, no-
body’s forlorn.
—Margaret S. Burton.

Women are the salt of the earth—
also the goat.
In the scheme o zation she is
exalted to the highest sphere of virtue
and the criterion of human pulchritude
end relegated to the lowest depths of
iniquity, while in her various influenc-
es, whether active or static, she is the
scapegoat for man. In motherhood she
is the angel of everybody’s individual
admiration; in evil she is the excuse
for man’s moral laxity and downfall.
Adam, the conceited lord of mundane
creation, whimpered: “The woman
tempted me,” and hypocritically em-
braced the practices of evil, and hia
descendants have followed his exam-
ples, which, according to legendary
lore he moaned to the Creator “What
shall I do ? I cannot live with her, and
I cannot live without her."

When a Chamber of Commerce or a
civic body gets politics, I’eligion or
factional differences mixed with its
organization, just then the very cream
of its value has been “spilled.” Any
man or body of men who sponsor dis-
ruption, are in reality, the worst
knocking enemies of the community.

To Our Friends and Customers:
It is human nature in business to get all the trade
you can; the consumer on the other hand wants to
see hia town progress; you can never build up
your town by sending away for everything you
need; if you have good merchants in your town,
patronize them; we feel that they may not be in
position to supply some of your wants and that
is the part of your trade we would appreciate and
give you service.
