A number of fine ripe figs were
received by the editor today with
the compliments of Frank S.
Schreck the weli known merchant
of Matamoros. These figs are from
some trees in Mr. Schreck's garden
which are only three years old and
demonstrate clearly what can be
done in this line in this' valley.
In fact figs thrive here wonderful-
ly weli bear abundantly and ma-
ilture early.
trThepay car came in last night
and today the railroad ' boys
ireceived their portions of the coin
.ofthe realm. These monthly
' visitations are the flowering oases
in the limitless desert of hord
work. Treasurer Finnegan was
; buS3r- thls-moruing issuing bits of
paper to " the employes and it was
interesting to note the facial ex-
pressions of appreciation as the
slips changed hands.
Miss Elizabeth Griffith Harrison
left this morning for her home at
Springfield Ohio after spending
three very pleasant months in the
quaint old foreign city of Mata-
moros lis the guest of her cousins
tJ. S.. Consul and-Mrs. P. Merrill
Griffith. This charming young
.lady has made hosts of friends and
. admirers.in Brownsville as well as
in Matamoros and has been the
recipiehtofnnumerous social atten
tions during her stay. She returns
home with happy memories of the
hospitality of the people of the
"Twin Cities of the Border" and
it is almost needless to add that
she leaves behind equally as de-
lightful memories of herself in
Iman- hearts. A number of friends
accompanied Miss Harrison to the
station this morning to see her off:
Miss Morrill who has been visit-
ing friends at Fort Ringgold f and
who was a guest at Fort Brown
recently joined Miss Harrison at
Harlingen and will accompany her
North being on her return home
also. Mrs. Griffith and Miss May
Lott went out on the train as far
as Harlingen with Miss Harrison.
Both will return by the evening
train.
The entertainment given by J.
M. Rogers last Saturday night was
very successful and attracted quite
a good many people to the Palace
Cream parlor. One of the principal
features was the guessing contest
to determine the number of mar-
bles in a jar. The guesses showed
a wide range the nearest be
ing made by Miss Hortense Levy
who was awarded a prize of a $1.50
book; the second prize a $1 book
was won by A. O- Blum. A prize
was offered the gentleman holding
the largest number of 10-cen tick-
ets. This was a box of cigars and
J. K. Woods was the lucky man.
A very unique method of attracting
the attention of the passert1" was
that of three dolls seated around
a miniature table being served by
a- fourth .doll carrying a waiter
containing small glasses while a
fifth doll was sitting at a toy piano
discoursing imaginar'- music. The
entire effect was very pleasing and
revealed a good deal of originality.
Mr. Rogers is very well pleased
with the success of the entertainment-
PERSONALS.
The Herald learns that Rev.
James O. -Shelby; recently graduat-
ed has arrived in Matamoros and
has been assigned by the Southern
Presbyterian church as general
missionary to the state of Tamau-
lipas. Owing to the fact that Rev.
Leandro Mora will soon leave
Brownsville the work of Rev.
Shelby will include this city. In
company with Mr. Mora Mr.
Shelby is being shown over the two
cities today and becoming acquaint-
ed with' the people. Tomorrow the
gentlemen will visit Harlingen and
other outside points wrhich are in-
cluded in the work which Rev.
Shelby will have in charge.
Two cars of onions went from
Brownsville and one from Nopalita
yesterday and two from here and
two from Olmito this morning.
The Herald learns that about
fifteen cars of onions and cither
truck go out daily from the Browns-
ville country. This is very good
for a country which twelve months
ago was reveling in thickets of all
kiuds of brush. Another year
will make still greater difference
truckers in this section. Our farm-
ers and have learned a few things
the past twelve months.
The handsome parlors of the
American consulate in Matamoros
were the scene last evening of an
informal reception tendered by
Mrs. Griffith in honor of her cousin
Miss Harrison who left todav for
her Northern home. Numerous
friends called to say adieu to the
fair visitor. It was in fact one of
those delightfull Mexican dcspedi-
das at which the warm-hearted
people of our sister republic speed
the parting guest. All present
joined in convincing Miss Harrison
that her departure leaves many sad
hearts behind-
