How They Differ
They differ from
other like-class cars in
a hundred attractive
ways.
The Mitchell has 31
feature*—like a power
tire pump—which
nearly all care omit it
has luxuries and beau-
ties rarely found, even
in costly care.
Both cars combine all
the attractions which
experts found in 257
new models.
And every vital part
is built to the standard
of 100 per cent over-
strength. That is twice
the usual margin of

I Jim Btowers, and Vernon Sebastian
, were married Thursday evening at 4
o’clock at the home of her Meter. Mrs.

much more convenient than day sea-
alone for many business men who find
it difficult to get away from their

the year.
All degrees from the fourth to the
thirty-second will be conferred and
will be complete as to music, scen-
ery and costume, just ss at the regu-
lar spring and tall reunions. The
night sessions will have the additional
advantage that the work may be done
more leisurely and the candidates
thereby get a better understanding of
Masonry.
It is expected that the summer re-
union will extend almost to the time
of the tall 'reunion, for only one ses-
sion will be held each week. Scot-
tish Rite Mesons in various parts of
the country have arranged for simi-
lar meetings during the summer

ganirations that are doing much to-

healthy lines.
Succeeding Jacob Fontaine as mod-
erator came John Winn Sr., who was
at the head of the negro colony in
Caldwell county, near Dale. The ne-
groes of that colony now own quite
a deal of land and take pride in
coming up to the annual encamp-
ments with their families and farm
products. Following John Winn Sr.
came George Green of the Union
Hill and Cedar Creek colony. In Bas-
trop county. These colonies are
composed of well-to-do and pros-
perous negroes who are happy and
contented with their progress and
with the treatment received at the
hands of their white neighbors, who
aid them materially in looking after
farms of their own. The next mod-
erator was Chesley Anderson of Aus-
tin and Williamson creek communi-
ties. The Williamson creek com-
munity had two or three negro com-
munities, where the colored people
are in possession of their own lands
and are doing well. Chesley An-
derson was the pastor of Ebenezer
or Robinson church of Austin and
the Mount Zion (Williamson creek)
church. Following Chesley Anderson
came William Massey, who succeeded
Jacob Fontaine as pastor of the Fon-
taine church and Chesley Andrs
as moderator of the St. John asso-
elation. Next came L. L. Campbell,
the present pastor of the Ebenezer
Baptist church of Austin and suc-
cessor to William Massey as mod-
erator of the association. All of the
above named except the last are
dead and a special history of their
doings will be brought out at this
encampment.
In making up this fifty years of
history and progress, it is proposed
to have a chain of fifty links. These
links will be made up in various

forms. First, eye-witnesses of the
organization of Travis County asso-
elation, which will include Mrs. Belle
Fuller, one of the old pioneers now
living in Wheatsville. She remem-
bers the old oak tree under which
the organization was perfected and
was one of the members constituting
the organization at that time. Though
old, she is active and was able to
march in the Austin loyalty parade
with the Wheatsville school.
Other links will constitute history
of schools, history of churches that
constituted the organization and that
have been organized since. History
of pastors, deacons and the educa-
tional and missionary progress of the
churches and the race. A photog-
rapher will make pictures, the same
to be recorded in the book of re-
membrances for the occasion.
For the accommodation of the
masses ample ground, water and
light have been secured. All rail-
roads in the state have granted a
uniform rate with excursions for the
two Saturdays and Sundays of the
encampment. The Austin Chamber
of Commerce, through special com-
mitten, working jointly with the
county and city commissioners, sher-
iffs office and police commissioner,
have secured an agreement that all
rates from the end of the car line
will not exceed 21 cents per round
trip and from points in the city of
Austin not to exceed 25 cents one
way. Camping privileges and drink-
ing water free.
Excursion parties have been or-
ganize and crowds are expocted
from all towns and cities in the state,
including Waco. Houston. Ban An-
tonio, Fort Worth, Beaumont, Tem-

9. To date we have had 127 new
applications.. All new members who
have just been examined may come
to our meeting Monday night. Mem-
bers of Cedar Grove No. t and vis-
iting sovereigns are cordially 1nviton
to meet with us. By reason of tho
fact that our lodge room is so small
we will have to limit our crowd to
members of the W. O. W. and Wood-
man Circle only.
Don’t forget about our cash prizes
for new members. It also closes, on

The St. John association will cele-
brate, July 17-30, the fifty years of
its organisation and work out at the
encampment grounds of the St John
orphan home. In apite of the hard-
ships as a result of the draft and
war, the leaders of the organzaton
are putting forth every effort to
make this a record breaker along
every line of endeavor.
Beginning shortly after the eman-
cipation, the negroes that were for-
merly members of white churches
were organized into churches of their
own. The Webberville Baptist church
at Webberville, Mount Zion Baptist
church at Williamson creek and the
Fontaine church at Austin consti-
tuted the old Travis County asso-
ciation. Jacob Fontaine, the first
moderator, served for several yearn
until the sessions at Round Rock,
in Williamson county, by mutual
agreement, formed four separate dis-
tricts, Guadalupe, at Seguin; St. Paul,
at Giddings; Blanco, at Blanco, and
St. John, at Austin. Since that time
most of the above named organisa-
tions except Guadalupe have been
merged Into St. John, which now
covers a territory of more than
eighty-eight church organisations,
with more than 30,000 communicants.
St John covers the territory of
Travis county and, being composed
of the original churches, has taken
the place of the Travis County as-
sociation and, therefore, its history
begins with the year 1350, rounding
