A Worthy Enterprise.
St. may be of interest to our
renders to get some information
?ibout. an enterprise that is calcu-
lated to accomplish a great deal
of good in the county that will
•4ielp to place Limestone in the
/list of progressive counties of the
state. Any county should be
proud of its educational institu-
tions. Tchuacann has long been
: lynous as a college town and it
/ d sustains its reputation. West-
mster College, which was start-
d in Collin County in 1895 and
©bartered.in 1898, was moved to
Totwiacana and rechartered in
1902. XJnder its charter the
Board of ltegents is composed of
nine men, two of whom must be
citizens of Tchuacana or vicinity.
The special value of a chartered
institution in its right to confer
and to hold property for
tlie public. The college is under
the auspices of the Methodist
Protestant Church, but there are
no.stook-holdors and its business
. i3 not run for dividends.
The college maintains courses
leading to the degree of Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Letters,
departments of Music and of
Elocution, and a Business Col-
lege* There is also a College of
Teology for the young ministers
of the Methodist Protestant
Church with a course leading to
the degree ot Bachelor of Divini-
ty. A library has been started
And a . very choice selection of
i the standard magazines, the State
Herald and other county papers.
A good institution of learning
always enhances the value of
property and raises the standard
citizenship. VVe need schools of
higher training to fill up the gap
between the common school and
the university. This place is
properly supplied by the college
and a college training gives a
young man or woman two hun-
dred times the chanco of those.
whose training stepped with the'
common school. A college in
one'? own oountv should appeal
to home pride and should have
loyal support. One advantage of
a home institution is that students
are close enough to be visited or
to visit their homes when neces-
sary without anv great expense.
The president of tha institution
is Prof. C. O. Stubbs, A. M., a
native of Georgia, about thirty-
seven years of age, and of long
experience in teachidg.
This is a worthy enterprise,
and the county should feel some
pride in having within her con-
fines suoh an institution where
out youth may better prepare
themselves for the work of life.
Point Enterprise Items.
As 1 have not seen anything in
the Herald for a long time I will
try to send a few lines.
Health of community not very
good.
All of Mr. Barnett's folks are
on the sick list.
Mrs. A. B. Hunt and son, Ea«
gene, went to Prairie Hill Friday
to visit her sister.
j Mr. William* and family have
; returned from Robertson county,
j C. B. Kerzee, wife and child
I wont to Robertson county Satur-
day to spend a few days.
Rev. ri tokos tilled the pulpit
Saturday, but on account of rain
there was not any preaching Sun
day.
The Forest Glade team and the
Point team played ball Saturday
evening. Everything went off
well until the ball struck the
most renowned player and mash-
ed his nose considerably. Say,
Will you had better get out of the
way next time.
Mr. iienge happened to bad
luck. He was bitten by a snatte.
He does not know what kind of a
snake it was as it happened in
the dark. But we were glad to
see Mr. Benge able to visit yes-
terday.
Misses Lucy Kate Bozman and
Mexia's First Bale.
Mexia received her first bale
of the new crop Friday afternoon
It was raised by Mr. D. F. Ley-
erett on the Nussbaum ranch,
weighed .">06 pounds and was
bought by Mr. S. E. Colsin of
the Western Bank and Trust
company, for 11 cents.
Mr. Leverett has lived ou the
the Nussbaum ranch for several
years and always does his trading
in Mexia, although there are
other large towns nearer hi n
than Mexia.
A premium was made up
among the] merchants and p re-
sented to Mr. Leverett.
Mr. T. E. Spivey, living just
north of town, brought in a bale
Saturday morning—just a little
too late to get the premium for
the first bale.
