First Car May Roll-Uncertain
fMie first^par of tomatoes is
bteipg loaded, but it is rather
uncertain as w:e go to press as
to whether it will be shipped
to day.
There are some three hundred
or more crates, and if a suf-
ficient number comes in from
Dialville, R^dlawn and pthers
points this af lernoon, the car
wilt possibly roll. The stock
is very fine and will be sold
to the highest bidder. , ,
Since obtaining the above
information, }ye have learned
that (several h'unared addition-
al crates have beqi brought in
and the car will in all proba-
bility, be shipped today

TROUP'S BIG |ANN UAL .FAIR
The Community Fair,
Troup's big big annual event,
is set this .year fer Jnly 24
and 25. This is the oldest fair
in East Texas and always
draws large crowds by virture
of its superior " exhibits and
other popular attractions.
The usual low excursion rates
will be in effect.
The car of tPJuatoes /or
Jacksonville was a sure thing
and just ?is they stated above
that ifseveral crates canie in
from Dialville, Redlawn and
other points the car would
possibly roll. Bpt not until
we had shipped our first car,
did we send these crates to
Jacksonville, but wp like to be
neighborly with our sister
town and assist them in being
second in the County.
Altp shipped two hundred
and seventy crates of tomatoes
to Rusk Thursday to assist
them in gptting out their first
car loa4 of tomatoes, and still
have plenty "P shipping
every day.

Letter to Hogan & Thomas
Alto, Texas.
Dear Sirs. Yon are agent
for Devoc lead and zinlc for
your town and country.
The whole doctrine of it
turns on these threejpoints;
(1) It is all paipt and true
paint;
(2e It is the longest paint:
(3) It is full measure.
Because it is ^11 paint,
portisnedfor strenth and
measure,
(1) It takes leastfqr a
(2) Looks best all the time;
(3) Lasts longest;
(4) Gathers the trade, and
holds customers.
There is no such argument
for any other paint; there i s
nothing 'out talk for any other
paint. Devoe is the paint.
Devoe is the paint' if you want
the facts on your side.
The county is fnll of ex-
periences; we bring these ex-
perience to bear on your trade.
Yours truly

Tomatoe A Good Price
Alto has shipped seven cars
of tomatoes this seaeon to date.
Tlie receipts are not as heavy
this year as last season, as all
crops are late. The prices are
holding up with the open 11 g
market. The highest price
being $1.55 and the lowest
returns to-date $'137' ..
Thfe growers state that a
great loss of tomatoes has
been caused by worms, but on
account of rigid inspection,
the quality of tomotoes shipp.<
ed from here is the very best.
H. H. Berryman, sales agent,
is placing the Alto tomatoes
011 the market in the very
best conditions, and is putting
forth great efforts to handle
this crop profitably for the
growers.

•The Bruglar Caplured
Yesterday a posse went to
Joaquin and Loganport to
search for the negro burglar,
who was repoited to have been
seen by Mr. Reece, trying to
board the early morning pass-
enger train going east.
Mr. Reece halted him and
he threw his pistol on Mr.
Reece and backed off.
They then got Walter Har
ris' blood hounds from Cainpti
and put them 0:1 his trail
they got in sight of him
about half a mile out from
Joaquin and began shooting
at him. He ran toward Joa-
quin aud W. F. Greer and
Will McNiell—who were go-
ing out to join the chase—
met him, They halted him, and
he made an effort to draw his
gun, wheu Will McNeal shot
•U him twice. Will Greer
then ran up to him, and told
him to lie dowu, shooting at
the same time into the ground
near the negro's feet.
The negio obeyed the warn-
ing, and while Greer and Mc-
Niell held their guns on him
Stanley McNiell came up and
took the negro's gull.
Sheriff Burns, who was with
the posse, hustled the negro
into an auto and brought him
through here on his way to
Center, where he was lodged
in the county jail.
Sheriff Burns said that
there were, at least 300 shots
fired at him yesterday, but he
was not hit by any of them.
He- was hit twice in Tuesday's
fucilade.

This is the second one of
the burglars that has been

No doubt that Jthese are a
part ot a band of organized
thieves and incendiaries that
