United States Senator Tom
Conally today told the house of
the Texas Legislature in Austin
that a democratic victory in the
national elections in Nevember
was a certainty. “No circum-
stances between now and the
time for the election can change
the sentiment that is written in
the hearts of the people,” the
Senator is quoted as saying.

The Deputy Constable is out
again for the fifth time, seek-
ing re-election to the office he
now holds. He estimates that he
ought to be elected again as he
is bound to be five times as
qualified as he was when he
started.
The News has carried quite
a large number of subscribers
until fall. Now that this season
has arrived and bills are being
paid in all lines, we would ap-
preciate it if the local news-
paper is not forgotten. We are
offering the paper for a limited
time at $1 per year in order
that we may clear up as many
delinquent subscriptions as pos-
sible.

Dock Hocks, our .blacksmith,

on the audience.

Muddy yellow waters of the
Rio Grande gradually covered
much of the valley’s cultivated
area on Wednesday night in the
river’s greatest flood in many
years.
The crest of the flood was at
Mission at that time. It is pre-
dicted that previous high stages
will be exceeded at Mercedes
Thursday and Brownsville Fri-
day.
Breaks in the levees let water
into the “first-lift” lands. These
are only about 10 per cent de-
veloped. Practically no citrus
fruit trees are on them. The
orchards are mainly on second
and third lift lands farther
from the river.

A. Frenzel of Bellville was a
business visitor in Sealy yester-
day. Mr. Frenzel is a well-known
merchant in Bellville and also
sells monuments. He placed
some advertising with The News
last summer, from which he
says he received some direct re-
sults. . One family living near
Wallis, whom he had never met,
saw the ad and wrote for him
to call, and upon this visit a
sale was made. Mr. Frenzel in-
tends to resume his advertising
in this medium in the near fu-
ture.

There is no money available
for the other forty per cent, but
we hope that the next legisla-
ture will see fit to appropriate
the balance of this money, for
our schools are in need of it
now as much as ever before.

chicness. The white material
can be of the new lightweight
woll or. satin.
The big feature of this dress,
however, is the effect of the
epaulette shoulder in the over-
drape of black crepe. Flutter-
ing to the breeze, this shoulder
style accentuates the fashion
line which get all the early
attention, namely, the wide
shoulder.
The skirt is almost straight
and the belt at the natural
waistline. The hat is a shirred
black crepe, trimmed in rolled
or braided white satin—and to
add smartness might be worn
with a tiny half veil, worn
loose. ’

letter from Dr. L. Tolliver, op-
tometrist, who is located in of-
fice with Dr. Sigler, stating that
he is now confined to a hospital
in Houston as a result of an
automobile accident one day last

truck occured in which he re-
ceived a severe injury. He ex-

The storm of August 13 des-
„troyed the pecan crop around
East and West Columbia.
Pecans brought a great deal of
cash to that section of the coun-1
ty. Both towns are being re-
built. The many homeless and
destitute families have been
helped by the Red Cross. The
Presbyterian Church of East
Columbia was organized in
1840 and is the second oldest
organization of that sect in Tex-
as. The building has been blown
down 3 times, and was totally
destroyed in the August storm.
The greatest zinc mine in the
world in Sussex County, New
Jersey, has been worked almost
continuously since Colonial
days.

Austin, Sept. 8.—The Texas
legislature ratified formally
Wednesday an amendment to
the federal constitution which
would eliminate the short ses-
sion of congress. The amend-
ment was submitted by the
last congress. Texas is the
seventeenth state to approve
the change.
The senate voted, 27 to 0, to
approve the house resolution
proposing ratification. The
houses previously had adopted
separate resolutions but joint
action on one resolution was
necessary before the ratifica-
tion could be completed.
The proposed constiutional
amendment would provide that
new congressmen take office at
start of the regular session fol-
lowing their election, thus eli-
minating “lame duck” sessions
of • congress.
