ZAPATA BRIDGE
IS COMPLETED
Free Barbecue to Feature
Dedication of Struc
ture On April 6
(Special to The Herald)
ROMA. April 2.—Announcement
Is made that the last board in the
floor of the new international
bridge at Zapata was laid Satur
day at 5 p. m„ and the contractor
is authority for the statement that
traffic will start officially on April
leth, at which time a monster free
(barbecue will be given on the
^Mexican side near the end of the
bridge as a part of the dedication
ceremonies.
Arrangements have been made
to care for 15,000 visitors, the meats
to be barbecued having been do
nated by the people of Zapata,
Tex., and Guerrero, Mexico, and
the B. and P. Bridge company.
Guerrero is of more than pass
ing interest to Texans and lovers
of Texas, since it ’ /as the scene
of the first attempt of the men
of the ill-fated Mier expedition to
invade Mexico. Their failure, to
capture the city brought about
dissention in the ranks and caused
a split which reduced the little
army to less than 300 men. the
same little band that invaded and
captured Mier, Mexico, on Christ
mas night, 1842, and was after
wards captured itself and its mem
bers incarcerated in Mexican pri
sons and some of them shot when
*they drew the fatal black beans
famous in history.
Guerrero was founded in 1750
and is located on the sloping banks
of the Salado river, one of the
prettiest mountain streams in all
■Mexico.
Couldn’t Get Out
For Six Months
“I had just about given up hope
of ever being well again when I
heard about Sargon. It is just won
derful what it has done for me.
MRS. J. W. MANESS
“I was in a dreadfully rundown
Condition as a result of stomach
trouble. I became so weak I was
confined to the house for six months
and for four months was on a milk
tiied. I suffered terribly with gas
and cramping pains. Awful sick
headaches forced me to bed for
hours at a time. I lost weight and
strength and my color was un
healthy. I was so nervous that life
was a misery. I couldn't sleep well.
“After the first few doses of Sar
jgon my appetite returned and I eat
anything I want. I don’t suffer with
pas or cramping pains anymore, nor
do I have those dreadful headaches.
My nervousness is entirely gone and
I sleep just fine. Doing the house
work now seems just like play com
pared to what it used to. I’m rid of
constiuation. my color is good and
I’ve gained six pounds.
“Sargon did more for me in a few
weeks than all the other medicines
and treatments put together did in
years.”
The above statement was made
recently by Mrs. J. W. Maness, 1510
Pearson St.. Houston, Tex.
Sargon may be obtained in
Brownsville from Cisneros Drug
Stores; in La Feria from Malone
Pharmacy; in San Benito from
Palace Pharmacy; in Los Fresnos
from Butler Drug Co., and in Rio
Hondo from Rio Hondo Drug Store.

their names to those of other thous

The file comprised the most
humble, and France’s most distin
guished and aristocratic. A cardinal

ceed a short distance to the Amer
ican pro-cathedral, where there will
be a memorial service.
The body will then be placed on a
fspecial train and conveyed to the

There Parmely Herrick, the ambass
ador’s son, will await it to accom
