NUMBER 16
LOOKS LIKE NO RUN OFF IN
MEDINA
Judging from the official not-
ice of nomination in this county
or precinct published elsewhere
in this issue there will be no
run-off in this county. August
26th. It seems that no provis-
ions have been made by the Ex-
ecutive Committee; and unless
the friends of James E. Fergu-
- son, in the upper precincts of
the county, get busy, or the
friends of J. R. Stroud, at De-
vine, there will be no run-off.
The News is willing to let it go
and trust November for further
results. The County. in state %
offices, generally goes against
The News ticket, anyway, and
the State goes with us. So
* here goes, either way suits us.

ADVERTISING HARLINGEN
Editor V. P. DuBose, of the
Harlingen Star was presenting
his friends in Devine this week
with a booster descriptive al-
bum, or booklet, illustrative of
Harlingen, about twenty-six pa-
ges, including cover, and twenty
four pictures, illustrating that
Gateway to the Valley. It was
financed by the Chamber of
Commerce, and six thousand
copies, very neatly printed by
The Star. Virgil says they
only have one knocker in Harlin
