here in a short time. Mr. Miller
has had wide experience and has
j made some of the best small town
i bands in his state. The fact that
the secretary had taken up the
movement to organize a band here
is given as one of his chief rea-
sons for buying land at Fort
Stockton.
The secretary is in receipt of
advices from Washington tnat a
number of copies of the Farmers
Bulletin on hog-raising, recom-
mended by Mr. French, nave been
forwarded for distribution, and
that a large number of the pam-
phlet ‘‘Kaffir," issued by the
American Steel & Wire Co. , also
recommended by Mr. French,

er and will be here soon for dis-
tribution to our farmer friends.

After the regular routine business
was transacted the evening was
devoted to a general discussion
of cows and futhering the dairy
interests of the valley. The dairy
committee reported the first lot
of cows had arrived and been
distributed. Different farmers
reported they were well pleased
with their cows.
10. A scout is brave. He has
the courage to face danger in spite
of fear, standing up for the right
against the coaxing of friends or
the jeers or threats of enemies;
defeat does not down him.
11. A scout is clean. He keeps
clean in body and thought; he
stands for clean speech, clean
sport, clean habits; and he trav-
els with a clean crown.
12. A scout is reverent. He
is reverent toward God. He is
faithful in his religious duties,
and respects the convictions of
others in matters of custom and
religion.
Every one interested in Fort
Stockton should read, carefully,
the statements of our two splen-
did banks. They are both insti-
tutions of which we are justly
proud.
