What a Boy Can Do.
An interesting example of what a
boy can do when he tries, and one
worthy of commentation by his elders, s
and emulation by his associates, can
be seen in the work of Charlev Sene
ften. Charley, who is twelve or thir- t
teen years old, concluded a few C
months ago that it was time for him to
turn over a new leaf and give up the
worthless life of the gammon, which '
he was leading, and get onto the road
to make a man of himself. He went
to work in the Gulf mill and began E
saving his money, and as regularly
as pay day comes Charley puts a
good part of his wages in the bank. t
He now has a neat little bank account
that reaches up close to the hundred
mark, and will go to a hundred and
fifty or more before the season is over.
While he has never taken much inter
est in schooling he says now that he
sees the need of an education, and
that he is going to school next year
on the money he has saved. The
Journal sincerely hopes tlat he will 1
stick to his good resolutions. There
is no position that the American boy
may not hope to attain if he goes at it
as this one has been doing lately.
I Stick to it Charley, that is the way
- real men are made.
To Whom It May Concern.
This is to certify that we, the under
signed, have witnessed the use of the
Self Contained Centrifugal Pump At
tachment, manufactured by R. R.
Monger, and believe it to be the means
of prolonging the life of a pump from
three to five times longer than the
pump which is set ie the ordinary way,
and will save an appreciable amount
of fuel by greatly reducing the fric
tion. L. E. Robinson

appearance of early strawberries in
small quantities, but now they begin

ldesirable residence portions of the i
city. 'lhe following are a few of th,)
recent iliprOVements which we noticed
while going through that portion of
the town this week: t
Joe Itussell has just completed at
neat two story residence two blocks t
east of the parsonage, and will soon I
have a comfortable home there. lev. t
Carruth has erected a commodious t
barn and buggy house on the parson
age lots which add much to the con- t
venience of the parsonage. J. M.
Shoemaker, the energetic foreman of
the Armstrong shops, has built sever- I
al additional rooms onto his home c
and treated it to a new coat of paint c
which makes it one of the neatest cot- t
tage residences in town. While Chas. (
Ryder has almost entirely recon
structed the ola C. E. Smith place t
which he recently purchased, having ¶
expended about $1000, on the same. It I
is nicely repainted and repapered and t
is said to be one of the best finished
houses in Welsh at the present time.
Our jolly English friend, Fred John
ston, is just completing putting up a(
woven wire fence around' the two lots
which he recently purchased just south
of his residence, and will convert the
same into a pasture lot. H, E. Was
son is thoroughly overhauling his
place, having repainted and finished
the house throughout. He has torn
down and removed the old paling
fence which was around his fine old
china grove and will replace it with a
neat picket fence. He is putting out a
fine lot of fruit trees, opening up two
new streets through his property, one
east and the other north of the house
and will soon have an ideal home. He
will begin putting down a new irriga
tion well within about 30 days to ir
rigate his farm which is adjoining his
city property. Our modest young
friend and former (printer's) devil,
David Peterseim, has built a neat lit
tle barn for his horse and buggy,
which will keep them in such good
shape that we are sure some girl will
be glad to ride with him. R. M. Gray,
the business end of the Calcasieu Im
plement Co., is putting about two hun
dred loads of dirt upon the two lots
just south of his present residence and
expects to build a commodious resi
dence upon them in the near future.
R. P. Willard has been putting up
considerable new fencing and making
general repairs upon his residence
property which enhances the value of
it. Much new sidewalk has also been
e laid in that section of the city. Two
line of walks, one from the Methodist
parsonage to Mr. Wesson's place,
and another from near the section
house cast and north to the Wesson
Sproperty fill a long felt want for the
residents of that section of the city.
SThis is but a part of what may be
seen of progress in that section of our
city.

The Texas Ccm:pany is persistently
pounding away at their deep well on
the Woods lease. While no outsider
knows exactly how deep down they are
it is rumored that they are beyond the
three thousand feet mark. The Cen

their new well next week.
It is predicted by one who is a good
judge of such matters, that the next
three months will see the greatest de

has occurred since it was opened up.

THE HOMESTEAD IS ALWAYS EXEMPT.
So Decides Judge Miller in the Robli .
cheaux Case.-Better to Leave a
Man Able to Support Fanmily
Than to Pay Larger Divid
ends, Says He.
In district court Tuesday, Judge t
Miller handed down an interesting de
cision, sustaining the right of a bank- t
rupt to homestead exemption, para
mount to the claims of others.
Some time ago, J. I. Robicheaux, a
well to do business man of Welsh, be- 1
came financially involved and con
cluded that the best way out of his
difficulties was to make an assignment.
His property, however, schedules
twice as much as his liabilities.
In his deed of assignment, he in
cluded his home property on the out
skirts of Welsh, not realizing at the
time that the law gave him the right to
hold it exempt. Afterward he found
r out he was surrendering his rights,
and brought proceedings against D.
Mallett to have the conveyavunce set
aside.
The case was tried before Judge
SMiller Tuesday, and the laatdr held
Sthat as a matter of public policy, it
was better to leave a man able to take
care of his family, than to pay a larg.
er dividend to his creditors. He gave
judgment for Robicheaux accordingly.
Attorney L. A. Goudeau appeared for
Robicheaux and McCoy & Moss for
the defendant.-Daily American.

Brldae Between Welsh and Oil Field (
In Bad Condition.
Much complaint is being made re
garding the dilapidated condition of
the long bridge between Welsh and
the oil field. The floor of this bridge
is said to be in such a decayed condi
tion that there are numerous holes in
it of sufficient size for a horse to put
its foot through. Many of the planks
which are not already broken have
become so badly decayed that they
are in danger of being broken at any
time, by a horse stepping upon them.
Several complaints have reached this
office recently from people whose
horses have stepped in these holes
and came near being seriously in
jured. We have also been informed
that the police jury of this ward has
been notified repeatedly, both verbal
ly and in writing, of the dangerous
condition of this bridge, and yet for
some unknown reason there seems to
have been no action taken for remedy
ing the same.
There can be no doubt but that the
condition of affairs should be changed.
The people of this ward pay sufficient
taxes to warrant them in asking for
bridges which are at least safe to
travel over. Again, if through neg
lect to repair this bridge some one is
killed or seriously injured, the parish
or ward would in all probability be
involved in a damage suit which would
cost much more than repairing the
bridge would have cost in the first
place.

Capt. John IP. Slatterly's View on the
Rice Situation.
In an interview with ant. J.n. P.
Slatterly. who was in Welsh Wednes
day. He said that indications are
that there will be an increase of about
seven per cent in the acreage of rice
put in, in Texas this year over that
sown last year. The farmers are in a
position to give their ground better
culture this year than last owing to
the fine season. Indications are that
the yield per acre will be much better
this year than the last owinng to the
better condition of the soil. At this
season last year farmers were plow
ing their fields up very wet, a dry
spring followed and the furrow was
baked into something closely akin to
brick. Bacterial action was greatly
retarded under such conditions and
the result was a poor yield in many
instances. It would be better for
farmers to furnish their men with
newspapers and let them read rather
thah work when the ground is so wet
e as it was last spring. Farmers can
i. not violate the well known laws of ag
it riculture and expect to make a full
'r crop. it is hoped that they will learn
I by experience and thoroughly ditch
i thelr ground in the future.
Fertilizer will always help the farm
er whose land is drained, but may
yield no returns to the farmer who
plows his land wet, especially late in
the spring. Fall plowing while wet is
not so disastrous.
