Wynne going on to Kirk to do
some hauling for the new rail-
road, while the rest of the party
stopped off at Big Foot on busi-
ness and pleasure.
We arrived there about four
o'clock with our complexions
somewhat burned, as we under-
took to face the sun all day. Sat-
urday night we were entertained
at Mrs. Sarah Thomas’ with some
fine music on the piano and violin
and the couple rendering it was
heartily thanked by all present
for their efforts.
Sunday we were entertained by
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Finch and
never was a day more enjoyed
than was that one spent in Big
Foot. Late that afternoon the
whole crowd piled in wagons and
buggies and went out to Mr. and
Mrs Dave Finch’s where they
were invited to partake of a fine
supper. Then more music and
gay laughter was on the pro-
gram until a late hour. Ice cream
and cake was served and enjoyed
by all during intermissions.
Alter spending several hours at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Finch the crowd departed for
home expressing themselves as
well pleased with the day and
evening’s pleasure and look for-
ward to many more
Monday was spent pleasantly
visiting friends and talking to the
business men while a glorious
rain was falling, which was need-
ed very badly. Their young cot-
ton will now begin to grow and
soon the sound of the gin will be
as music to their ears.
Monday afternoon w e decid-
ed to return to Moore and catch
the “boll weevil” home and
through the kindness of Mr.
Finch and Mr. Thomas who con-
sented to take us over in their
“white steamer’’ we were saved
from walking, which was highly
appreciated.
Big Foot people have the true
style of Southern hospitality and
treated us as one ot them. We
’nave never si>ent a more enjoyable
time and anticipate another visit
to Big Foot in the near future.
FARMERS OPEN CONGRESS f
AT COLLEGE STATION.
College Station, Tex., July 27.-
The members of the twelfth an-
nual farmers congress assembled
this morning in assembly hall at
o’clock. The meeting was called
to order by President E. W. j
Kirkpatrick. Invocation was
offered by Rev. W. A Sarnpse.V.!
The address of welcome was de-
livered by R. T. Milner, presi-
dent of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College.
The response should have been
delivered by C. H. Wellinghara.
le being absent, E. R. Kone,
commissioner of Agriculture was
called upon. Mr. Kone asserted
that Mr. Milner was honored by
being afforded the opportunity of
welcoming the farmers of Texas
to these halls. He said that a
greater responsibility rested upon
the farmer than any other class,
and he thanked Mr. Milner both
for the address of welcome and its
character.
He thought that the farmers
could be relied upon to secure a
satisfactory solution of the ques-
tion raised by the Governor.

J. A.
Buda Hall, formerly of this
place, was here last week visiting
old friends after an absence of
nearly seven years. He says the
town hardly looks natural there
are so many improvements.
this institution has received a flow
which will require the manhood
of the State to over come, and
here and now is the time to do it;
(applause). I have no condemna-
tion for the university. 1 love it
and its students: yet, I belie—"
so far as the material
of Texas is concerned, it would be
better that every stone of the
university be tumbled to the
ground rather than that the Agri-
cultural aud Mechanical College
should be crippled.” «
It is preparing men for that
calling which God himself gave
to man, the noblest calling of
them all. The farmer and the
herdsman have developed Texas.
I am proud to say that the preju-
dice that once prevailed against
the profession of agriculture is
fast being removed by the pupils
of this grand old institution of
ours.”
Mr. Kone was followed by
President Kirkpatrick. The sec-
retary, T. W. Larkin, of Beau-
mont followed with a few remarks
showing the earnest effort made
by interested parties to gain influ-
ence in the congress for selfish
purposes and showing the res-
ponsibilities and embarrassments
» _
of the officers of the congress un-
der such circumstances. He then
submitted the report of the secre-
tary-treasurer.
Mr. Kerr then read a paper en-
titled, “The Neglected Apple,” in
which b® showed the unlimited
demand for apples and the profit-
ableness of growing them - Ex-

FRIO GETS TO HIGHEST POINT.
Uvalde, Tex., July 26.—G. H.
Brigman, a prominent ranchman
of Uvalde, reached town after be-
ing water bound for some days
on his ranch, twelve miles north-
east of Uvalde. He says the Dry
Frio was up higher than he had
ever seen it, and as high as it was
ever known to get. All the water
holes and flats on his ranch are
full of water.
In speaking of the cattle busi-
ness, Mr. Brigman said stock had
done remarkably well this year
and, with the good grass that was
now on the range, the outlook was
very promising. He had only
lost two yearlings, these from
blackleg, on his 6500 acres. The
cotton crop was in good shape,
and he believed that the old stalks
would produce half a bale to the
acre. Regarding corn for this
spring, he would make, or rather,
had made, twenty-five bushels to
the acre, in spite of the fact that
this had been a dry spring and
the corn had t wice been killed
down by frost. Last fall he har-
vested a splendid crop of June
corn, having made 700 bushels on
thirty acres-of land, and 600 bush-
els of this corn was sold in the
field at 50 cents per bushel. The
total cost of seed ana cultivation
on this crop was $42.—San An-
tonio Express. /

and let us make a splendid offer-
ing to the Home Mission work at
that time We know many hearts
have been made thankful for the
abundant measure of rain we have
had, let us show it in a material
way by putting by something each
week and preparing for a gener-
ous offering in August.

leaves to mourn his loss a wife,
eight children, four brothers and
one sister, besides a host of
friends who sympathize with the
family in this their sad hour of
trouble. The funeral service was
held at the Baptist church by J.
F. Kimball of Pearsall, and was
then followed to the grave by
one of the largest processions
that has ever been seen. The pall
bearers were, L. Wheeler, Rye

MOONLIGHT PICNIC.
Tuesday night a crowd of young
people gathered together and
with their chaperons went out to
the Long artesian well for a frol-
ic.
The night was an ideal one for
a picnic; the moon shining bright-
ly, and the recent rains having
laid the dust. There was nothing
to complain of.
The evening was spent in row-
ing in the boat, seesawing and
trying to do different stunts; each
one having something entirely
new
Different kinds of fruit, sand-
wiches and fine lemonade were
served to each hungry couple as
they gathered together before
leaving for home.
Following were present:
Mr. and Mrs C. E. Duller, chap-
erons, Misses Laura Lowe, Ora
Kimball, Johnnie Jordan. Vir-
ginia Evans, Maggie Thompson,
