MISS FAY BRANNON TO TEACH
IN IDAHO SCHOOLS
Supt. H. R. Wallis announced this
morning that the vacancies in the
school teaching force for Blackfoot
(Idaho) have been filled by Miss Fay
Brannon, of Bastrop, Texas, cousin of
Mrs. W. D. Pierce, who will take the
place of Miss Hughes, and Miss
Haight of Oakly, who will take the
place left vacant by Miss Sparks who
will teach in the Spokane schools.
The above clipping is taken from
the Blackfoot (Idaho) paper of last
week. This school consists of forty-
eight in the faculty, and we commend
the board upon the selection of Miss
Brannon an one of their teachers.
She has taught in the Mission schools
for the past two years, and had ac-
cepted the position for another year,
but upon accepting the school at
Blackfoot, has resigned her school at
Mision. She is the popular young
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Bran-
non.
The business houses of Bastrop will
close all day Monday, September .1, in
observance of Labor Day. Owing to
the fact that the banks and post office
will lie closed all day, and that there
will be no cotton market from Satur-
day afternoon until Tuesday morning,
the business men of Bastrop availed
themselves the opportunity of taking
this double holiday.
It is understood that the meat mar-
kets and the baker shops will be open
as usual, until 9 o'clock.
The following is the list of business
houses that will close: Hodges &

OPENING OF
RURAL SCHOOLS SET
The Bastrop ( >unty school Board
met today in the regular August
meeting to attend to many matters
that must be attended to at this time.
One important thing and one that
will lie of interest to many people
over the county was the setting of the
time for schools to open and the dates
of Institutes. All of these dates are
as follows:
Fight month white schools to open
Sept. 24th.
Six and seven month white schools
to open Oct. 1
Six month Mexican schools to ojier

"Permits were granted to 45 out-
side companies to operate in the State.
Twenty manufacturing companies
were chartered, against fifteen in
June and ten financial institutions
were organized. The gain in manu-
facturing companies is an encourag-
ing feature."

Congressman James P. Buchanan

appropriated to fight that pest, was
largely responsible for securing funds
to carry on the root rot researches
now being started. He is the only

priations Committee which recom-
mended the expenditure.
When appropriation of funds for

Buchanan declared the rot had caused

Bridling The Tongue
Harm and only harm results from
intolerance, whether it be religious
or political intolerance, whether it lie
merely local in character. Texas is
in the throes of the most intense po-
litical campaign the State has ex-
perienced in many years and already
many things are being said that
sh >uld be left rnsaid. No possible
good can come from ugly denuncia-
tion of those who may hold views
that are different from yours or from
imputing bad motives to those w-ho
may not think as you do. The elec-
tion will be over in November, but
animosiiic created by intolerant
pcfcli will live for years to divide

IN BASTROP VICINITY
The fields around Bastrop are white
with cotton and many farmers are re-
porting a scarcity o- pickers. The
yield is expected to fall short of the
first estimate, and on account of tne
extremely hot, dry weather of the past
few weeks, a few of the bolls are
opening prematurely. Very little
damage has been reported by the wee-
vils and other insects.
OWENS TEST GOING DEEPER
According to information received
Tuesday, the Owens test well being
put down on the Jones tract near
Cedar Creek, the well is down ap-
proximatey 2000 feet, with indications
of striking a gusher still very promi-
sing. The well was closed down a
few days this week, waiting for a
three inch drill stem, but it is learned
that drilling has been resumed.
