Today's busy homemakers
can have fresh homemade
bread - without the long hours
of mixing, kneading and
shaping the dough.
Full of energy-giving car-
bohydrates and the essential B-
vitamins, bread is an important
part of daily nutrition. This
butter loaf is prepared without
kneading and needs to rise
only once. The texture is
smooth and the bread is a
creamy yellow color.

It all happened in 1876.
Texans will learn more about
their state as it was during
America's Centennial in a new
column to be distributed
through the Texas Press
Association.
It is called "Tejas 1876," and
the material has been compiled
from 100-year-old newspaper
accounts by the Department of
Mass Communications at Texas
Tech University, Lubbock.
Sarah J. Stone, now a
member of the faculty at West
Texas State University, was the
principal researcher for the
project while she was a
graduate student at Texas
Tech. She earned the master of
arts degree in mass com-
munications last August.

FORT WORTH — Happy New Year — this
is the first day of January, 1876. Quite a
number of drunks and downs were reported
for Christmas Week, but not a single fight,
as far as we have learned. Truly Fort Worth
is a peaceable town.
WACO — Marshall & Early s block was
burned on New Year's Eve with the entire
stock of goods lost. Loss totaUed ^O.OOO,
insurance on block $6,000; on stock $5,000.
Cause unknown.
Theater at noon today was a complete
failure. The Houston reporter of the
Galveston News, the commercial editor of
the Telegraph and one of the publishers of
the Age were the only persons present. Two
of those favor the instrument and the other
is on the fence.
GALVESTON — This week, month and year
closed simultaneously upon a dull cotton
market.
BRENHAM — There are 14 prisoners in our
county jail, and nine of the number are
charged with hog stealing. This amusement
costs the taxpayers a dear price.
GALVESTON — Two dead bodies have been
discovered in a cesspool in the rear of, and
on the outside of the City Hospital grounds.
Although the bodies were too far decom-
posed to ascertain their identities, it was
obvious from the state of the corpses that
they had been used as subjects in the
dissecting room. An investigation has been
ordered in the "shocking affair."
FORT WORTH — There is something
wrong at the Dallas post office. Letters have
been received here recently 10 days after
they were mailed and postmarked at
Dallas.
NAVARRO COUNTY — Corsicana shipped
from Sept. 1 to Dec. 29, 10,053 bales of
cotton, 33,700 pounds of wool, 58,403 hides
and 1,383 head of live stock.
NACOGDOCHES COUNTY — The bones of
a large mastadon have been discovered
near Nacogdoches.
