Palacios, Matagorda Co., Texas
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY BY
J. W. DISMUKES, Editor
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The Beacon is authorized to announce
the following names as candidates for
office, subject to the endorsement of
the White Man's Union Primaries:
For Sheriff:
FRANK CARR.
For County Superintendent:
MISS MABEL KENNEDY
Miss Mabel Kennedy for
County Superintendent
Miss Mabel Kennedy of Bay
City requests us to this week
place her name in the announce-
ment column of the Beacon as a
candidate for the office of super-
intendent of public instruction,
subject to the action of the White
Man's Union primaries.
Miss Kennedy is a y:>ung lady
of high educational attainments,
her experience embracing work
in both the rural and city high
schools, and should she be the
choice of the voters the office
would indeed be in competent
hands.
Miss Kennedy was reared in
Bao City and has a host of friends
over the county who are going to
work mighty hard to see that
the first woman candidate who
ever applied for office in Mata-
gorda county gets elected.
Are you sorry you are living
in Palacios ? A letter from a
Kansas friend reads : "Could
we rent a house in Palacios ? It
is 22 below zero here and a half
ton of coal is our only hope of
keeping warm. Schools, church-
es, picture shows all closed. We
are coming South." A letter
from a Nebraska friend :
"Twenty-six below here and ev-
erything closed. Business places
pen at eleven and bank the
fires at four-thirty. There i s
talk of confiscating the coal in
private cellars. Private houses
may have only one light burn-
ing at a time." After all, there
is no place quite like the dear
little City-by-the-Sea, and it is
good to be here.

The Community Nurse, and an-
swered many questions.
Prof. Phelps of Bay City also
spoke urging the importance of
paying our Toll Tax before Jan.

Seldom, if ever, have we had
such a full program o f good
things, from speakers of such
importance as those who addres-
sed us at this time, and the peo-
ple of Markham certainly were
royal entertainers.
A Norther blew in before noon

NOW is the time to get a Homesite
in PALACIOS!
While the prices of nearly everything else have
gone sky high, Palacios Lots can be had at the
same old prices. They are bound to advance in
the near future.
DO YOU KNOW that you can buy on easy terms
a choice lot within the city limits for as low as
$100.00?—a few closer in for a little more money.
If you want room for a garden, cow and chick-
ens, we will quote you low prices for entire blocks.
