will be pleased and you will benefit
yourself and the Eagle.
Rev. J. C. Newman, pastor of the
Baptist church, announces that he
will preach on the subject of the
Lord’s supper at the 11 o’clock ser-
vice Sunday morning, at which time
communion service will be held. All
members of the church are urged to
be present and all others are invited
to attend.
The new court house will be com-
pleted in a short time, as only a
small amount of4‘finishing”is neces-
sary. All who see the building are
pleased with it and wonder that the
court could have secured such a build-
ing for the contract price. While the
cost to Mills county will be very
little more than $68,000, it is not
likely the house could be duplicated
for less than $100,000.

Alf. S. Taber, representing the
Texas Farm and Ranch, published at
Dallas, was here this week for the
purpose of arranging a special clubi
Ling and advertising agreement with
the Eagle. The plan will be more
fully explained at a later date, but
it will, we believe, be decidedly bene-
ficial to the Eagle readers. Mr.
Taber was only authorized to make
the arrangements with the best class
of papers in the best counties in
Texas.
Those who have products of any
kind that 'will be beneficial in the
Mills county exhibit at the Dallas

cotton, oats,- barley , maize, pecans,
potatoes, broomcorn, alfalfa, onions,
popcorn, etc., will be needed to make
the exhibit complete and to show the
great variety of products of this
county.

Brownwood Excursionists Meet With
Hearty Reception at Goldthwaite.
A special train bringing about 175
people from Brownwood on an excur-
j sion reached Goldthwaite Monday
morning at ' 9 o ’clock and remained
,20 minutes. The excursion was met at
.the depot bj a large number of busi-
gjgll ness men of the town, including a
delegation from the Commercial club,,
and a number of ladies with their
automobiles. The Brownwood band
beaded the march to the Trent bank,
where a reception bad been arranged
by the Club and where a delegation
tel °f young ladies served coffee and
crackers, while Mr. Dew and his as-
gyfgj sistants passed cigars among the vis-
p/tf itors and other citizens exerted them-
-selves .to make the stay- of the vis-
itors pleasant. •
..... ; A speaker’s stand had been arrang-
P|||!jed at the Trent bank corner and as
IiIMI i soon as the visitors reached - that
jgiM 'pIace JudSe E- B. Anderson delivered
gift Ian- address of hearty welcome,which
was received with cheers by the vis-
itors. Mr. Tom Leach of Brownwood
then introduced Mr. Mark .McGee of
the same city who responded to Judge
Anderson’s welcome address in a
1 very pleasing manifer.
While the gentlemen were being
entertained in the business part of
town the visiting ladies were carried
for an auto ride over the city by a
number of Goldthwaite ladies who
had been requested by the Commercial
club to assist in entertaining the
visitors in this way.
When the time for departure ar-
rived the visitors were enthusiastic in
their expressions of delight over the
hospitable manner in which they had
been entertained by the Goldthwaite
people.
In speaking of the trip, the Brown-
wood, Bulletin says:
“At Zephyr and Mullin only brief
I stops were made,* though at Mullin
j§|! t^re was considerable delay waiting;
for the regular passenger train -to
pass.
|| 1 “At Goldthwaite the reception was-
cordial and friendly. These hospita-
ble people were at the train in goodly
j number to meet the Brownwoodites,
;i||. jand while the ladies of the party
-:;W j were taken for an auto ride over the
j city, the men were conducted to the
^ ! Trent bank, a block from the depot,
i where coffee, cake and cigars were
served, and where an enthusiastic-
welcome address was delivered; fol-
i lowed by talks from two or three
[-Brownwood speakers. The time was
limited, however, and goodbyes were
regretfully said.”
