FIRST
EXCURSION
Houston
Agreed
to Brownsville
Upon.
Excursionists Will Spend 4th of July in
Brownsville and Matamoros Large
Crowd Expected.
The following from the Galves
ton News of last Sunday from
Houston wiil serve to put the citi
zens of this city and, Matamoros on
notice, in order that preparations
be begun at once for the accommo
dation of the large crowd that will
visit us on the date' mentioned.
The majority of ,the excursion
ists will visit this section for the
first time, and as first impress
ions are usually best, extra effort
.should be made to put-the best
foot.forward. The Board of Trade,
assisted by every citizen of our
city, should begin at once pre
parations for accomodating the peo
ple wh,o have heard of but not seen
the twin cities of the Rio Grande.
The dispatch follows:
Houston, Tex., jjMay 20. Col.
Craig of the Macaroni route is in
the city today and is maturing
plans for the running of the first
excursion out of Houston to
Brownsville.
He took the matter up with Col.
T. J. Anderson, and the latter was
favorably impressed with the idea;
in fact, the event was definitely
agreed upon. The plans are to
start the train from Houston in the
"early morning and reach Browns
ville the next morning. The visit
ors will have a full day in which
to sightsee in the famous old Mat
amoros. The train will likely leave
Houston on the morning of July 3,
so that the Fourth may be spent
in Brownsville and Matamoros,
leaving that evening on the return.
Col. Craig believes the excursion
will'grow to large proportions as
the train reaches Cuero, Victoria
and -other important points on the
way. The route will be over' the
Macaroni, the San Antonio & Aran
sas Pass and the St. Louis, Browns
ville & Mexico.
Corpus Christi Items.
From the Crony, May 20.
Brownsville is puffed up because
its member of the. legislature is
descended from Aztec princes and
Spanish hidalgos, while Corpus
Christi's vanity is tickled by the
knowledge that in the veins of her
representative there flows the cbm
mingled blood of Irish kings and
Greek gods.
Accompanied by his wife and
their daughter. Miss Margaret.
Speaker F. W. Seabury of the late
unlamented legislature is resting
coolly in Corpus Christi while on
the way to home in Rio Grande
City. Mr. Seabury appears to be
worn out by the long session. He
announces that there is no truth in
tne rumor that be intends to
abandon the banks of the Rio
T J , -r-v
xuiivu auu move to uaiias. or any
other place.
Laying track on the St L. B. &
M. Sinton-Refugio division will
be completed to this side of the
Mission river by May 24, unless
the weather is unfavorable for pro
gress as planned. If will take
about five weeks to cross the Mis
sion river, the entire length of
bridge and trestle approaches being
nearly 3500 feet. As the old town
of Refugio is on the farther bank
of the river, the trains cannot be
expected there earlier than July
Next week, as soon as the
track reaches the river bank, Mc
Cabe & Steen's bie forre. all ex-
Cept - the bridge building outfii.
will be moved to Bay City from
whence tracklaying will be rushed
in this direction. -

LIBRARY FOR BROWNSVILLE.
Fine Circulating Library May Be Secured
at Small Cost, If Citizens Will Act.
Brownsville has great need of
several very important improve-
mpnk tvhir.ri mnv hf Qiirvnlitirl in
J v.fiiv.v III
time at greater or
less cost- Some
of these improvements
thousrh of
the greatest importance and vitally
necessary to the welfare of the
town, do not seem to be easily ob
tainable or very likely to be realiz
ed in the near future. There is,
however, one actual need which
many of our people have doubtless
felt keenly, that may be supplied
at very small cost, as soon as the
necessary action can be taken. That
is: a good circulating library. All
book lovers or those interested in
any particular branch of study must
appreciate the great importance of
having access to a library contain
ing such works as they may wish
to read. In Brownsville the lack
of such a resource is very much
felt. ,and doubtless all who are in
terested in books, as well as those
who are interested in any move to
promote the progress of the town,
will gladly lend their support to a
plan for securing a circulating li
brary. Such a plan has been under
contemplation for some time by a
few of our people, and all who have
been questioned on the "subject
have encouraged the idea. This
plan is to secure the establishment
of a branch station of the Tabard
Inn circulating library in Browns
ville. The Tabard Inn Library is
probably familiar to most patrons
of libraries. It is a well known in
stitution which operates circulating
libraries in most of the larger cities
and towns of the United States.
To obtain the privilege of securing
the Tabard Inn books it is only nec-
essarv to -nnrrhflsp nnp Tnh.nrr" Tnn
book, at a cost of 551.50. This hnolJlack of space and the hurried
may be exchanged by the holder
at will, by paying a fee of five
cents, the book being the property
of the purchaser. The Tabard Inn
Library has branches or sub-stations
in about four thousand towns
and there are four' hundred thou-
sand books included m the library
, y
from which members may choose.
Each book is in a Tabard Inn cloth
case and carries with it a continuous
exchange privilege wherever the
Tabard Inn stations exist. The
plan may be better understood by
reading the circulars explaining
the service.
At the solicitation of those inter
ested in the move, Wm. Willman
has consented to take charge of the
matter until some definite arrange
ments can be effected. Circulars
explaining the Tabard Inn Library
plan may be seen at Mr. Willman's
drugstore, and th'ose wishing to
become members may leave their
names with him. It is .desired to
get this matter on a practicable,
working basis as soon as possible,
and those who are interested should
lose no time in seeing Mr. Will
man. This is no money making
scheme- whatever, except for the
Tabard Inn, but is simply an effort
on the part of our citizens to secure
good reading matter at a cost within
the reach of nearly everyone. The
original purchase of a book at $1.50
and subsequent fee of five cents
each time the book is exchanged
is all that membership in the li
brary costs. The tabard Inn has
offered to place one of its libraries
here, provided a sufficient number
of. subscribers be secured. The
number required is not large. The
opportunity thus offered to secure
any of the choicest works of fiction,
history or other branches of litera
ture will doubtless at once attract
all book lovers.
It is to be hoped that all who de
sire to secure a circulating library
for Brownsville will notif Mr.
Willman promptly, so that definite
arrangements may be made at once.

TruciT Farm
Last Sunday a Hbrald man vis
itedjthe Buena Vista truck farm
and saw much to interest and
admire. Some of the crops' have
matured and been harverted bat
enough remains to show the won-
I ,
vevm proguctiveness ot tnis moclei
farm. The onion crop was not up
to the expectations of Mr. Blalack,
still it was sufficient to convince
him that there is money in onions
and he will probably put in a lar
ger acreage next season. The
many crates of beautiful crystal
wax bulbs stacked in the sheds
readj' for shipment were good to
look at and made the reporter long
to be an cmion grower. Next we
went out into the fields to view
the different crops" now growing,
among the most prominent being
the large acreage in tomatoes which,
are now about read3- for shipment.
The Dwarf Champion was the prin
cipal variety, and the small plants
were simply loaded with fruit.
There is also a large variety of
fruit trees Which have been put
out and all seem to be growing
nicely. Almost every variety
adapted to a semi-tropical climate
is represented and the Buena Vista
truck farm bids fair to become a
fruit as well as truck farm. The
well-known casava, a .splendid
forage plant and from which starch
is made, is being experimented
with, and the plants seem to be
thriving so far as we were able to
judge. Then there was celery,
okra and other truck, all in- agood
state of growing. There is also a
fine alfalfa field on the farm, which
lack of time forbade us to see, but
those who have seen it say it pre
sents a fine appearance, and prom
ises a good yield. A great many
other interesting features are no
ticeable on the Buena Vista but
nature or tne visit prevent more
extended mention at present.

pupils.
'-First cars' ' of canteloupes are
being shipped from different points
every day but the fact remains that
the first car of the lucious fruit was
shipped from La Blanca plantation

We regret to innounce that Mr.
J. B. Sterns and his estimable wife
have decided to move to Monterey
to reside. During their short resi
dence here Mr. and Mrs. Sterns
have made many friends, and that
they may find the change of loca
tion for the better is the wish
of all.
Hill Hooks of the La Blanca
company last fall ordered cucum
ber seed, intending to plant a-large
area. Ihe seed.were planted, and
all came up beautifully, but only,
one or two cucumber plants appear
ed to the acre. The rest provedito
bet cantaloupes of the finest quality,,
and now Mr. Hooks is shipping
cantaloupes to Kansas Citv and'
realizing fancy prices for them'-
and he is perfectly satisfied. '
