at
te day’s festivities ended with
and ball at night and Big Foot
rtainly knows how to do things,
'here’s n o half way business
one over there.
We hope to take another trip
ver there soon as we were deep-
v impressed with that little town,
t has a bright future, the only
ing needed to make it shine is a
ail road and this can't be held off
nucli longer, because there is too
nuch there to pass unnoticed.
We returned home via Moore,
• ut it was late when we got there
regret not being able to see
the citizens and business men of
that thriving little city. Crops
along the entire route were not as
^ood as we would liked to have
seen them, but they are very good
considering the drouth and high
winds. There seems not to have
been a good stand of cotton or
orn. but we suppose that is on
account of the wind. The farm-
ers near Moore seem to be in bet-
ter condition than their neighbors;
i their crops are looking green and
thrifty and have a good stand
But everything considered, we
think there is no room for com-
plaint and believe that ac the end
of the year the net profits will
I not fall far behind, if any, the
) receipts of previous years, taken
j as an average.

W. Ward was in town Mon-
day from Mellon and told us that
-.k the drillers were now steady at
■1 work on his artesian well and were
doing things up in rapid shape.
He had a hard siege of drill-
it ing through about twenty feet of
not a very hard soil which much re-
sembled concrete and was so hard
that it had to be dug through by
of hand. We hope Jack will get a
. ce fine flow of water down there and
to see no reason why he should not
rv- do so as he is about eleven feet
and lower than the Long and Schriner
• ■rd to & Halff wells and only a mile or
a little more distant from them
and it seems to us he is in what
you would call the proven arte-
sian belt.
Broke Even in Double Header.
The Rubinstein Rubes went to
Cotulla last Friday and engaged
that team in a couple of baseball
games. The first game was a vic-
tory for Pearsall by a score of 9
to 2, but the second was a defeat
for the Rubes, Cotulla doing them
up in equally as bad shape. The
Pearsall boys say they didn’t get
a square deal from the umpire on
the second game, and conse-
quently could not win.
Has Leg Broken.
Little Thelma Morhmon, daugh-
ter of seclion foreman, Morhmon,
had her leg broken last Thursday
by jumping off a fence. At last
reports she was getting along
nicely and we hope for her early
recovery.
Picnic Sunday.
A picnic party composed of J.
W. Fuller and wite, Bruce But-
tles and wife, Earl Boon and wife
Miss Adelia Adams and Joe But-
tles, went to the river Sunday and
spent the day. They report a
very nice time.
A crowd of our young men left
this week for Arizona in search
of employment. Those who left
were; Marvin and Ike DeVilbiss,
John James and others whose
names we could not get. Mrs.
Ike DeVilbiss will follow her hus-
band later.
Series of Educational Articles.
(By D. W. McKee)
Having been a constant reader
of the Pearsall Leader for five
years, and having watched its
progress, and the good it has done
for the people of Frio county,
and surrounding country; first,
under the strong and faithful
management of W. Trickey, and
then under the conservative man-
agement of Dr. Neeley, and lately
under the efficient management
of such thorough and practical
newspaper men as Davis and Hud-
son. Knowing well that people
become educated through the
press more rapidly than through
any other medium, and knowing
that all the good people of Frio
county read the Leader closely;
induces me to ask space in your
valuable columns for a series of
articles on the benefit of the study
and practice of the English lang-
uage as spoken by all educated
people in this and other countries
where the English is used as the
standard language.
The older people of this county,
had no chance to learn anything
scarcely pertaining to literature,
as there were no schools in this
part of Texas when they were
growing into manhood and wo-
manhood, consequently, there is
but little expected of our fathers
and mothers with reference to ex-
actness in the finer parts of an ed-
ucation; but with reference to the
young men and women, who have
grown up within the past twelve
or fifteen years, there is no excuse
whatever to offer why they do not
speak the correct English. There
have been good free schools in
this and other counties adjoining
this for fifteen years or more, and
if a boy or girl fails to get the
language of the mother-tongue
now, it is certainly not the fault
of the school laws of the State.
If we were to state that there is
not one boy in fifty in this part of
Texas, who knows how to use the
English verb correctly, I presume
some would b e surprised and
others, perhaps, angry; and yet
such is a lamentable fact. Now
the strange part of this is that
every child has a tree scholarship
in the schools fora period of eight
long years, and every one is en-
titled to study the first little
science that comas in the school
course of study, which is known
as grammar, and which is ealeu
lated to teach us to speak and
write correctly; and it will, if
given the proper attention.
So far as speaking correctly is
concerned, one month close study
is long enough for any boy who
is fourteen or fifteen years old, to
gleam all there is in the verb, and
yet we find that they study it for
four or five years, and still do not
understand it
Every boy, and girl too, should
read the book ‘'Thelma,” to see
the necessity of understanding the
use of the English verb. You
will see how the New York gir
with her millions and millions of
dollars tried to get into good so
ciety in London, but yet was se
verely criticised andv-Tn a way
ostracized for the ridiculous use
ofTier verbs. If that does uot
convince, then read a book eallec
“Round Rock,*’ and you will see
how the young physician was often
humiliated by his father's use o
the verb.
