The Alto State Bank
Has grown to be one of the most dependable bank-
ing institutions in this portion of Texas.
Tliis is due to the fact that the people of
this part of Cherokee county are patron/
izing us. We are a hotne bank and be-
ing owned entirely by home people, we
feel that we should receive the business
of those who believe in keeping Alto
money in Alto, for the use of Altb people.

co-operation and 011 co-opera-
tive credit societies anu was
delivered in the court house
to a large audience that in-
cluded many farmers, their
wives and childreu and teach-
ers from all points in this
county.
Sunday School Picnic.
The Methodist Sunday
School enjoyed an outing on
Larason Creek one day last
week.
Various games were played
until the announcement of
dinner, when a delightful
luncheon was spread with
everything good to eat, which
was immensely enjoyed. The
afternoon passed all too soon
for the merry crowd.
Good Price for Elbertas.
Mount Vernon, Tex., May
5.— A good many of the Pvl-
berta peach growers have for
the last few days been selling
their crop of F,lberta peaches
to the advance buyers for the
Northern markets. The pre-
vailing price offered Saturday
was 80c a bushel and baskets
furnished by the buyers. A
good portion of the growers
are holding for $1 a bushel.
The Penitentiary Investigating
Committee Now in Session.
The Penitentiary investi-
gating committee is now in
session at Huntsville, with
the indications that it means
an all-summer session,
Senator Warren of the com-
mittee, has compiled a state-
ment showing that during the
year 1911, the average prison
| population at Rusk was 12c,
] and the expenses of the prison
1 were $85,219 more, than the
1 income.
1 The loss per each convict
being $699. That during the
year 1912, the prison popula-
tion was 215, and the net loss
to the State was $106,000,
$495 per convict. It was sug-
gested by a member of the
committee that these convicts
be taken on a tour around the
world to save expenses.
Just what the losses at the
Huntsville prison will show is
impossible to determine at
this time, says the report, ow-
ing to the "system" of book/
keeping,
Yesterday's report from
Huntsville says that expres-
sions from the committee fore-
cast reconimeudations cutting
down cane acreage and increas-
ing cotton acreage.
Business is dull just at this
time all over Texas, and as
most of the above committee
is out of a job at home, it will
probably find "business" to
look after all summer, as the
State pays them $5.00 per
and expenses.—Rusk Press/
Journal.
In the election held Satur/j!*
day to elect four trustees in
the Alto High School Dis- j*
trict, the old members of the
hoard were reflected, as fol- Sg
lows: H. H, Berryman, J.
vV. Carter, Dr. C. W. Fisher £
and Jim Richardson.
A very small vole was cast J*
which is evident the fact that
the people of this school dis- T*
trict "have beer, well pleased
with the board in the past.
The board held one of their
regular meetings Monday,
where R. Fv. Ajrant, who has
been president of the board,
which was accepted. The
board was instunn ntal in ap-
appointing S. I:. Harrison, to
fill tile absent p .ce. H. H.
Berry man was appointed pres-
ident of the board.
As the board had so much
business to attend to, they
tailed to appoint a Superin-
tendent for the in.-uing year,
' but I h e y say t h e y
1 will appoint one tonight at a
meeting called for that pur-
pose and we will be able to
say. more about the matter in
next week's issue.

Conic to Jacksonville on
Tuesday the 14th of this
mouth and hear D, Ward
King, national good roads ex-
pert, lecture and give demon-
stration of the split log drag.
Wherever he has lectured in
the past he has put the people
to thinking and they are
profiting by his suggestions.
Our people should avail them-
selves of this opportunity to
hear him, Our roads need
the split log drag applied to
them, and we should be eager
to learn the best methods of
operating the drag. The time
spent in listening to this man
will be a good investment,
and if the crowds that have
been listening to him at other
places is any evidence, there
will be a large number here
next week. — Jacksonville
