A Pleasant Outing in Ohl
Mexico.
Mesdames McFadin, Ellis and
Brown, and Rev. Winter Green
took the Baptist ministers and
their wives, who had been at-
tending the Fifth Sunday Meet-
ing here, for an outing in Mexico
last Monday morning. The
morning was balmy and pleasant
and Spring had touched the
fields, trees and every nook and
oorner with her magic wand, and
they were bedecked in their most
beautiful dress of green. The
continuation of the green was
broken occasionally by a bed of
purple vorbenas or a .bunch of
daises, that the tiller of the soil
had failed to reach, which added
splendor to the magnificence of
the scenery.
The party enjoyed the outing
to its utmost, and came back re-
freshed and rested for their jour-
ney home, taking with them
pleasant memories of their stay
in Del Rio.
Those who enjoyed the hospi-
tality of Mesdames McFadin,
Brown and Ellis, were: Mr. and
Mrs. Nichols, Mr. and Mrs. C.
H. Wray, Revs. Sledger, Franks,
Green and Day, Miss Annie
Gray Ellis, Hamilton McFadin
and Button Brown.

river with a good fish yarn, ‘‘but our small schools into Del Rio,
he had the fish to prove it.” He and will close the Del Rio school
was down measuring the river into El Paso about September
and saw the fish swimming near ! the 1st. Therefore, we advise
the edge of the water. He
jumped in and took a kiok at the
fish and threw it clean out on
the bank. It was a gar about 3
feet long. Some of the boys
said he used his foot as a
“scoop” and the fish thought it
a grading shovel and tried to get
out of the way, risking death on
eartn than being “squashed”
with such a foot.
The sheep and goat men here
are having a good deal of trouble
with Mexican herders, getting
advance money and railroad fare
and then running away. Why
don’t the ranchmen get together
and stop the advancement of
money? It could easily be done
with concerted action if ranch-
those who wish to take the op-
portunity of securing a business
education at home to enter at
once. We deem it unnecessary
to comment on the merits of this
school. A tree is known by its
fruits. A school is known by its
results.
Practical Education
You may be able to read Greek,
write Latin, speak French and
German and all the other foreign
languages; you may be able to
solve difficult problems in higher
algebra; and you may be posted
in geology, zoology and astron-
omy; but you may still find it a
difficult matter to earn a living
without acquiring a good busi-
m
men would only get together and m,s8 education. There are clerks,
set a day to meet and discuss a,RHors, journalists, reporters,
the matter. Why not call a compositors, newsboys and those
meeting in Del Rio. All ranch- *n °^er bne8 business and
men are interested in this and professions, who oould increase

Just as the sun was peeping
above the horizon of the east
Tuesday morning, a merry crowd
could be seen making hasty
preparations to spend a day or
two on Mud Creek, at the hospi-
table home of Mr. W. A. Allen.
One of the party said they just
had a delightful time, and the
oa1f Mr. Allen killed was the
finest they ever ate, but never
said anything about the fish, but
of course it is understood, (as
the fish story goes.) They
oaught a fine string of fish and
hooked the six pound trout.
The party feels indebted to
Mr. Allen for the two days of
outing which was the most pleas-
ant they have spent.
The party was 00mposed of
Mr. and Mrs. Peace, Mr. and
Mrs. Childs, Misses Thetis and
Julia Whitehead, Mr. Stokes, of
San Antonio, Mr. - White-
head and Mr. Oscar Whitehead.
The Saddened City.
A great gloom has been cast
over Dryden. Tourists no longer
view tho city with awe-inspired
interest. They never quit the
train to gaze open-mouthed at
the most wonderful sights here,
ard wait until the very last mo-
ment to reluctantly board the
cars, leaving here with their
curiosities unappeaw^d and a
great desire for a lengthening
stop, that they might in a meas-
ure satisfy their longings to learn
more about this wonderful spot.
They too feel the change. They
see the citizens moping. They
know and understand. Oh!
cruel fate. Oh! cruel wind that
robbed us of our treasure. The
tall Spanish-dagger no longer ( sell our paint,
holds its head proudly aloft con-
scious of its own superiority: it
has been struck a terrible blow,
and that same blow fell upon the
hearts of the citizens.
Only a bleak stump rising out
of the ruins marks the spot where
once the pride of the village
stood, and waved gaily in the
gentle breezes.
A thoughtless tourist went so
far as to ask if the weight of the
bananas broke down the tree.
He was ignored.
“Pardon me,” ho said “I sup-
pose I am mistaken. It was a
Palm, and the wind must have
done the damage.”
No one vouchsafed a reply—
they were too sad—and the tour-
ist turned away wondering.
Citizens passing the wreck,
look at the blighted object, and
sadly shaking their heads, hurry
on, mourning the loss. X

Dear Sir: If you paint two
houses alike with two different
paints, and one takes twice as
much paint as tho other, you
know which paint to buy after
that—so far as go-far goes—don’t
you?
One of these paints is Devoe;
the other is any average paint.
Tho worst aro worse than that:
the better are not much better;
no other paint than Devoe is any-
where near Devoe in go-far.
Devoe is go further; the rest are
go-short go-middling and go-
three-quarters. Yours truly

Bridle Your Tongue.
When out of humor, and every-
thing looks as though we gazed
through blue colored glasses, or
when we feel that we have been
wronged by a friend, and we be-
come angry, we aro often tempted
to speak hasty, sharp words and
too often we yield to the tempta-
tion. When*in either one of such
moods, it is dangerous to permit
tho tongue to play too freely.
Words spoken then are like
1 aggers thrown in to the heart.
They make wounds that cause
the heart to bleed ! And, too, it
takes a long time for such wounds
to completely heal. In many
cases they never do. Hence, it

have budded and bloomed in the
regions of heart for months and
years and decades may be
blighted in a moment’s time by
the frost of angry words.
