PLAIN STATEMENT.
In taking active charge of the San
Patricio County News the first of June,
last, it was the intention, as stated in
the first issue, to make an earnest ef-
fort to print a general county newspa-
per in every sense of the word, with
the idea, if possible, to bring about a
spirit of co-operation among the cit-
izenship to forward the interests of
Sinton and San Patrico county. With
this in mind the writer visited business
men, suggesting the idea. In some in-
stances we were given the glad hand
that has proven true. In others we
met “grouches,” aqd “suggestions;”
such as ‘*you dance to my music,” etc.,
"and we’ll do the handsome.”
For the time being we were foolish
enough to feel that the matter could
be lived down; that grown men would
come to a realization of civic pride
and individual and community inter-
ests, and for a number of issues put
this “punk” judgment to the test, and
as might have been previously known
it proved a farce and a failure, as the
egotistical idea “I rule, or I ruin,” pre-
vailed strongly in the minds of a few,
who reckoned without their host.
During this four months’ period the
News has "passed up” disgraceful
news stories .that have been played up
by outside papers colored to suit the
'ghoulish fancy of morbid minds, that
behind closed doors and dark recesses
The Free Poultry show and Home
demonstration Meet as planned on
short notice and advertised only two
weeks, held here last Friday and Sat-
urday, were most creditable affairs
from every viewpoint, and great cred-
it has been bestowed upon those re-
sponsible for the undertaking, and its
highly successful outcome.
Many varieties of uniformly high
quality birds coming from scattered
coast towns, but principally from San
Patricio county, competed in the
event, at which Earl Young of Falfur-
rias, an experienced chicken fancier
and breeder of high grade poultry,
judged the exhibit with his usual clear
judgment and fairness, using for the
first time in this section the explana-
tory comparison card, distributed free
to the show by the Lone Star Poultry
Journal.
The Red class was particularly
strong and led the show in entries with
ten pens competing. The Barred Rock
section was also well occupied with
good birds.
Visitors to the show were treated
to a well arranged exhibit, the fowls
being cooped in new equipment, and
showing to best advantage, visitors
frequently remarking that the Sinton
exhibition was not only a great credit
to those responsible, but compared
most favorably -to more pretentious ef-
forts in the Gulf Coast.
The show room was centrally locat-
ed, the rear of the Moses Feed Store
being used .which gave ample room as
well as good light and ventilation.
The card on which the judge wrote
his findings was very popular, as ev
en those that found their entries dis-
qualified seemed to believe they had
profited measurably by patronizing
the show, inasmuch they had a record
of their flocks’ weaknesses and could
hundreds of beautifully “jarred” gar-
den “sass,” and preserves—yum, yum!
Too, they had a wonderful line of fan-
cy pieces from the size of a dime to
-as_ large as a bedspread. And then
there were the girl-made plain dress-
es. This display was held in the
building and proved a great femini'
attraction, and most favorable com*
ment.
Did they carry off any prizes? Well
yes!
They also had some good chicks.

DELINQUENT TAX NOTICE.
The Commissioners’ Court at its reg-
ular October term last monday had be-
fore it the matter of making all nec-
essary arrangemtnts for filing suits for
the collection of delinquent taxes un-
der the Act passed by the last session
of the Legislature, and it was deter-
mined by the Court to push the collec-
tion of such taxes as rapidly as possi-
ble. All parties whose taxes are de-
linquent will save money by paying up
at once ,and before suit is filed.

by rendering it possible to collect, by
suit, all of the delinquences of thisi* |
county. The Commissioners court at-
its last session entered an order di-
recting me to immediately begin the ■
filing^of suits for the collection of
these j taxes ,and such order will be
observed by my office. Supplies fqor~
this purpose have been ordered froij
the printers, and as soon as received
will begin the filing of suits on all
