In a few well-chosen and appropri-
ate words, interspersed with wit and
story, Judge M. A. Chilrers bade the
i teachers welcome to the town, and
urged that they make themselves “of
the town.” After the Judg’s talk,
“stunts.” which each one found by
drawing a slip,of paper, that he was
to .perform, occupied the next:* hour
and caused much merriment. Songs,
i dances, speeches, story-telling, ques-!
tions in history and geography, etc., ]
were, received with much laughter
and applause, especially when those
had tb sing who counldrt’t, and those
had to dance who couldn’t, etc. !
After t.he stums, guests received reg-
istration cards which they had to fill
; j put, giving their names; birthplaces,
home employment, pet aversion, etc.,
j.the ca'rds afterward being read aloud
j and creating a lot of fun.
Next, came the musical part of the
j evening’s entertainment, which was
a short but very beautiful concert,
; played bv‘ Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Reever.
, Walter, Dan and Fred Martin, which
greatly pleased all who were fortu-
nate enough to hear the music*.■
; Miss Hal lie Mae Sipes sang very
; sweetly a song to. the teAchers, com-
posed hv Mrs. Elkins, to the tune k>t
Smiles,” “There are Tests That
Make us Sad,” etc.,*' Mrs. Elkins ac-
companying her at the piano.
At a late hour delicious brick cream
and angel food cake, with plate favors
of red verbenias, were served and
very much enjoyed, and the crowd
dispursed, voting the affair a most
enjoyable one.

Sinton, Texas, Sept. 29, 1921.
Mr. Editor:
Please allow us space in your pa-
per to say that with the liberal dona-
tions from the white people of Sinton |
we have paid for one church lot
purchased from Mr. J. D. Cook, on j
which we hope to erect a building in
the near future for the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church.
We thank our white friends for
their donations.

It is an old saw; but it still cuts with razor edge.
Success is not achieved without effort; bank ac-
counts are the results of steady plugging, deter-
mination, regular saving.
Success breeds success. Each saved dollar
fathers another. Dollars beget dollars. Interest
adds to them. . . .
In building for your success, you are your own
architect, your own carpenter. No one else will
or can take the contract. Nothing succeeds like
success. Each achievement makes an additional
achievement possible.
Deposited in this hank, your savings grow with
clock-tick regularity. We are desirous of help-
ing you accumulate that reserve fund or oppor-
tunity “stake” that will come in mighty handy for
you this year—next year—some time.
