CLEBURXE'S OPPORTUNITY.
Qlehurne has an opportunity to be-
come a city of 25000 population by
the year 1920 provided she realizes
her" advantages. Bear in mind the
fact that the great Santa Fe system
has spent in shop betterments more
than $SO000 this year in order that
the work originating on new lines re-
cently built may be handled at the
general shops in Cleburne. When
one realizes that Texas is in is in-
fancy and that the Santa Fe railroad
will "continue to grow and expand as
the years leap along if theor recent
work is any criterion the Sant Fe
will very greatly strengthen their
present strong position in Texas and
In ten years more it will employ many
more men. It isn't at all unreasona-
ble tibat the Cleburne shops will even-
tually toe as big as the Topeka shops.
. Cleburne is the center of a rich agri
cultural country and beneath her In
the Paluxy sands unlimited pure wa-
ter lays in limpid pools. Preimrations
are being made to largely increase the
facilities for handling this water and
distributing it. All Cleburne needs Is
for her home people to show a greater
faith in their own city get together
and do the things that attract people
and build cities. The opportunity to
grow and develop is with Cleburne
people now waiting to be embraced.
Gieburne must have a new modern !
hotel she ought to have a number of
small factories an interurban south
and a railroad west connecting with
the Santa Fe at Brownwood. The
Board f Trade ought to s-t tosptaer
oftener. at the lum-beon hour and en-
deavor to 8th" up some enthusiasm.
Cleburne can do a grR many things
to ihelp herself if sno will only try.

Colony Was Early Founded Near Port
Royal on the Shores of South
Carolina and by the Huguenots.
Port Royal. S. C The first Protes-
tant settlement In America was made
on the shores of South Carolina not
far from the present town of Port
Royal and by the Huguenots. This
colony came out under the leadership
"of Jean Ribaut in the spring of 1662..
ThiB settlement of South Carolina by
a Protestant colony antedates that of
the English settlement of Virginia by
45 years and was 58 years before tho
arrival of the pilgrim fathers at Ply
mouth Mass. But this settlement at
Port Royal did not have the success
that was hoped" for it and had to bo
abandoned not before seed had been
planted however that bears Its fruit
to this day.
On landing one of the first thlnga
the Huguenots did was to unite in a
service of thanksgiving to God for
their safe arrival. They erected a
monument to commemorate tho occa-
sion. To quote from tho Rev. Dr
Vedder "Tho stone pillar of John
Ribaut was tho corner stone of the
temple of Protestantism in the West-
ern hemisphere."
It was not until after the edict of
Nantes. October' 1685 that tho great
immigration of Huguenots to South
Carolina took place Four prominent
settlements were made one on the
Santee river one on the Cooper river
one at St. Johns. Berkely and the
other in the city of Charleston. Ono
of the first steps taken by each of
these colonies was toward the estab-
lishment of a church wherein they
might worship according to their
faith.
The Huguenots of Charleston make
two distinct claims outside that of
having the only Huguenot church In
Where Huguenots Worshiped.
America. Ono is that theirs Is the
first church organization established
in South Carolina; and the other that
they were the first to carry tho gospel

ornamental masonry extending In

suffered greatly as did all of the

Recent Rumors Have Prompted

" Farlaqd a Sister but So Far
Without Result.
Darlington . Okla. Nearly seventy
years ago Wiiliam Lovo Urown hkn
twelve years old was carried away by
a band of Comanche Indians from the
home of his parents in tho outskirts
of AuBtin Tex. and taken to the Co-
manche camps in what is now south-
west Oklahoma. Ever slnco that day
the kinsmen of the lost boy have been
searching for him and hoping that he
might be found. Their inquiries were
lately renewed by reason or a news-
pnper story telling of an old man long
captive among Indians in Oklahoma
who was trying to find his people.
Mrs. Carrie Jayne McFarland of
Port Lavaca Tex. sister of Brown

United Statos Indian agents in Okla-
homa asking if they know of the man.
The agents have no knowledge of
him. Mrs. McFarland Is being assist-
ed in her search by her son-in-law F.
P. Ponfleld of Houston Tex. Mis-
sionaries among the Kiowas and Co-
manches havo been requested to ques-
tion the old 'men of these tribes and.
If possible learn if they have any
knowledge of- the attack on the Brown
home.
Mrs. McFarland lately told this
story of the incidents that led to tbe
loss of her brother:
"Some eight or ten Comanche In-
dians rode up to our gate Sunday
July 10 1842 and asked tho way to
Austin. Father walked out near the
gate to direct them my mother and
the children following to look at tbe
painted faces of tbe Indians and the
j shields they carried.
"An Indian reached over the fence
and picked up my brother Amos and

put a belt round his and the child's
' waist. In that way trying to strap the
i child to him. Father stepped out the
