SAN PATRICIO COUNTY NEWS, SINTON, TEXAS, SEPTEMBER 6, 1928
l JOHN BUSHONG WRITES
LETTER FROM BOERNE
TWO TYPES
WORK STARTED ON
NEW HIGHWAY FROM
ROCKPORT TO PALACIOS
THE FAMILY WOULD. WAIT
"Heavens! what does a single man
want with two cars?”
“One for blondes and one ,for bru-
nettes.”
Jimmy—“Why does an Indian wear
feathers on his head?”
Betty—“Why, I suppose to keep his
wig-warm.”
Tommy was meandering homeward
much later than his usual supper time.
A friend of the family who happened
to meet him, said:
“Why, Tommy, aren’t you afraid
you’ll be late for supper?”
"Nope,” replied Tommy, “I’ve got
the meat.”
The first actual dirt moving on the
Hug-the Coast Highway was done on
the western section of Calhoun County
this week, when Martin Brothers Con-
struction company, recently awarded
the contract by the State Highway
Department for the dirt work on this
portion of the highway, put men and
mules on the job. This is the first
actual work on any of the Hug-the-
Coast highway, from Rockport to
Palacios. In this county State Engi-
neer Fred M. Percival, with an in-*
creased force, is working out the de-
tails along the route favored by the
State, and hopes to soon have things
in shape for construction work to be
commenced in this county. Really
work could be commenced on the
causeway now if the military author-
ities would approve Percival’s plans
as the State did some time ago.

cleaned up that fortune in crooked

Kate—What was he, anyway, a
counterfeiter?
Polly—Oh no, a pretzel manufac-

PRODUCTION
'The Patriot"
Horn-Da vis Project
This new attempt on the Horn tract
near the Bonnie View school would
appear to be jinxed. First, after the
erection of the derrick it was struck
by lightning, and damaged; next, the
failure to procure rigs of sufficient
capacity has held up the management,
and now comes the wind and rain
storm of Wednesday afternoon which
blew down the derrick.
Mr. Horn was here yesterday ar-
ranging for rebuilding and making a
new start The citizens of the com-
munity sincerely hope that no more
hard luck will overtake these gentle-
men in their efforts to-test and develop
a new territory.

Terrill No. f-
The test well which was partially
sunk o nthe Terrill tract four miles
west of town is still hanging so fire,
so far as drilling is concerned. Geo.
E. Ball, of San Antonio, has a crew
of men encamped at the well, so it
is understood, but so far as any prog-
ress is concerned we do not believe
there is anything going on in that
direction at present Mr. Ball, when
he re-assumed charge of this project
announced that without fail the well
would be continued to a depth which
would call for a thorough test on this
location. We hope to see the well
opened up an dactivities started again
in this direction shortly.
