The Texas Farmer»' Congress meets July 2Γ> at the AgriculturaT and Mechanical College at College Station ann will be in session three days . Although It Is nearly one month off, still It is time to begin thinking about the trip and mak ing ready to attend. I guess now that I will not be able to attend this year, but I hope every citizen of Ellis county who can do so will go. For the last two or three years I have conducted a carload of excur sionists from Ellis county down there, and we have all been benefited both physicially and mentally by these trips No otitjng 1 know of offers more pleasure and profit to farmers than a trip to th·* Farm ers Congress As has been the cus tom for the past few years the En terprise will look after the matter of low railroad rates for all who de sire to attend from Ellis county. Heretofore we have had farmers go with the excursion from every sec tion of th** county, and have fre quently heard them remark that some particular speech was worth all the money and time it cost to make the trip. I see from the pa pers that the session soon to meet will have the largest attendance of any previous session. Several hun dred tents have been ordered for the ι accommodation of those who attend | Heretofore the buildings occupied ' by the students have tieen used by the visitors but these will be insuf ficient this year The farmers of Texas are studying their business as they never did before. Whenever they can make any improvement over the manner In which their dad dies farmed they proceed to do so, A great many of the most success ful farmers of Ellis county have gone with me each summer to the congress, and It is to be hoped that the* will attend this year. Mr. Pinch, who is well known to mai» citizens of Ellis county, is now connected with the Daily Light and Weekly Enterprise He came from Kentucky several years ago He is from the same neighborhood from which Jumbo came, and w:is proba bly made from some of the same Kentucky dirt When he gets s»·a ghtetied out he will mske our p;tT»ers iiieger and better. No s< ruos can work for the Dally Light and Enterprise None but thorough breds like Jumbo and Finch from Kentucky and myself from Arkansas can find a place with these papers, j t am for the present knocked ou", ι but I'll soon be alt right again. As thin salt weter chases itaeif over ana , through m*> I ran tee! the old Nick In ! »? ris* and try to assert himself above this trouble that is keeping me down here It ha* been our aim j to make bigger and better papers j for our subscribers each year, and j this we have succeeded in doing My ι partners write me every week that business is splendid and if it keeps increasing like it has for the past twelve months we will be compelled to buy another type setting machin·» The one we now have is kept busy day and night and still they say they are behind with the work. Thia is certainly encouraging news to me, who. it tonka Hke trois! sîav away from home and business in order to live Mv letters from down here have had the effect of giving me a great deal of correspondence and it now begins to look like I am to have pientv of EUis county citizens for company J know there are hun dreds up there who go away each summer hunting rest, health and rec reation and 1 think I am somewhat of a Judee of a good climate and good living and 1 believe this place fills the bill In the first place visitors here can go into this salt water and thoroughly cleanse themselves and that ia what a great many of us need Then we are ready to absorb and enjoy the h«a\y laden «alt breezes whuh blow constantly.

Two or three of them own a small sail boat, seins and nets and they ko out into the shallow wafers of these bays and passes to make their hauls of fish They fish day and night and stand in the water hours at a time, both winter and summer. When they catch their fish they sei their sails for this place and sell them to deal ers who ship them up the country. Some of rhe fishermen have extra boats to brins their fish to marker and others stay out with the fish boats, seldom coming to Corpus. These fishermen are the hardiest, healthiest looking set of men I ever saw A great many of them never wear shoes and very little clothing except something like a bathing suit. This is proof that this country is healthy. Our party anchored where the Corpus C'hristi pass entpties into the gulf and then we donned bath ing suits and waded into the gulf up to our waists, threw out our lines and caught red fish, cat fish and stingarees. camped out, cooked our fish and had a gr»-at trip. We*had with us one Mexican and one negro who knew how to fish, and I learn ed some more Mexican language anil how to fish to a better advantage. These trips on a sail boat are de lightfully cool and pleasant, but they are terrible on one's complexion. Th<> reflection of the sun's rays on the salt water turns you as brown as a Mexican and my countenance looks like I was wearing: a false face. The auditorium of the state Ep worth League encampment is now l>ejng coimtructed here and it will be large and airy It will seat over two thousand people, and is being built right close to the bay. A large bath house is being erected close by. and the Leaguers of Texas will have one of the prettiest places on the coast for their encampment, which meets in August. The grounds are one and one-half mite up the beach from Corpus Christ', and the San Antonio and Aransas Pass railroad will build a depot up there for the accommodation of the Leaguers. Low rates for the encampment will be given by all railroads in Texas, and thousands will some here at that time. Em Briggs is here from Waxa hachie and is improving rapidly.

The population of Ellis county was increased this morning upon the arrival of the north hound Central train when there alighted twenty eight Bohemians and Moravians, fresh from their native land, across the waters. The party consists of only three families, the rest of them being young folks, and all hail from Holc sor, a village in Moravia. They took passage on the German steamship, Koln. on the morning of the 8th of June at Bremen. Germany, arrived yesterday at Galveston, having been on the vessel eighteen days Their possessions were brought in large wooden trunks and baskets of which there were probably a dozen Most of the party have relatives in Ellis county, with whom they expect to take up temporary abode.

I went out to the tTnh <»r?ity yes terday to watch the wordings of the summer normal in session there. Γ am glad I went for I am sure I saw the biggest thing of tli* kind in Texas. I got there before time for class work and found the corridors full of young men and women at work—as busy as bees. But tnere was an air of cheerfulness about it all that fold me the worl- was real pleasure to them. As I would pass them they would bow arid smiU· and resume their studies. Such happy, sunny people, and these atv the fu ture citizen makers of ι ur f-omir- n wealth. But we are .safe The school teacher is in the land and as long as she is we are impregnable. 1 walked right in on the faculty just as they had wound up an ex ecutive session and told them I bad come to write them tip They said write away. Dr. Hornbeak acted as spokesman and gave out. »he follow ing. ' Yes, the normal this year is a success in every way. We have the greatest number ever enrolled at any previous normal held in the county We have 123 on our roll now from all sections of the state and expect several more next week The nor mal will be half out this week and all teachers who desire to take the examination must matrh ulate next week as the law now requires an at tendance of twenty days in order to entitle one to take the examination. The student body this year is very high and the work done has been of the highest grade. The pupils who are here mean strictly business and we as the faculty are proud of them and their record "Especially would I < all the at tention of the public to the instruc tion in primary work that is being done by Miss Curl in and Mis* Gee. They have the little fellows to come here and they give actual lessons. In other words they teach to do by doing. "1 may be optimistic concerning our normal here, but f feel sure the time is not far in the future when we will enroll hundreds where we now only have scores. Another fea ture of our summer work here is Dr. Turner's lecture- on professional topics. The can't be beat and the teachers over the state are finding it out and louiiut, to in order to get the best, in that line ." Here the gong rang and the doctor went away to his class in physics I went to Prof. Winn's class in United States history. They were discussing the causes that led up to the Civil war, secession, etc. It is an interesting subject and it seem ed to me that every pupil knew all about it. ι ne proiessor lias j. ui tin* his pupils to bring up good les sons in Sunday School too. He is enthusiastic and they say enthusi asm is catching Prof. Coghlan was givius an ex planation of complex fractions in al gebrs. He had up one of these dou bled and twisted staked and rider ed" fractions, but he made the way of solving it so plain that I. thick headed as 1 am. worked it out after I got back to the office and 1 actu ally got Buie to see into it too. Prof Barnett took me through the workshop where he gives instruction in manual training. This was some thing new to me and by the way, this is the only normal in the state that gives instruction in (hat line free of anv extra charges He gi\es instruction in Venetian iron work hard and stiff wood work, and me chanical drawing The pupils are taught to use the saw. chisel and plane He explained ft» me that the object of this work was not to make mechanics οι artisans of th<- pupils, but to develop the sens»· of touch and sight and also to give him cor rect idea of proportion and - mnie try The work is purely education al and not technological Th-r·» w*re several leathers in the oaop at wiirs while I was j. lie it* anil one young lady who especialh attracted m ν attention, was deft|\ handlmt; a paint brush and n<>* one -peck ot pain: did she ..· ·· ·;··-■ ing finders tio«t hb-^s ·>■· nhmi marin, «h·· has m> support ind if I • ere a trustee I would an·· he»- a thousand dollar- a month It II,FIN t».«|uall<j>< m»n IV·*!·»!
