StoweandA. W. Amthorwill take
place' on June 29, The Herald
learns. These young people are
well known and popular, and The
HERALD join their manj' friends
in extending congratulations in
advance.
The Herald learns from Henry
Brown that he raised eleven cars
of onions oh twelve acres of land
cearRunge. in Kafhes county, this
season. The most interesting and
satisfactory part of the proceeding
is the entire crop was sold f. o. b.
Runge, for $1.70.
The three lots near the passen
ger depot belonging to Mrs. Katie
Brown, wife of B. E. Brown, who
was killed last July in Halletsville
while loading planing mill ma
chinery for shipment to Browns
ville where it was to be erected, have
been purchased by the Brownsville
Undertaking company. Considera
tion$850. The sale was made by
A. H. Weller.
Contractor Martin Hanson tells
us he is figuring on a warehouse for
the Waters Pierce Oil company,
near the freight depot The build
ing will be of brick, 40x50 feet.
The company also contemplates
the erection of a large iron tank
- 27 feet long and nine feet in diam
eter -for storing oil. The tank
will- rest on a brick foundation,
plans for which are under consid
eration. R. J. Hodges, father of the late
Mrs. Katie B. Johnson left yester
day for Savoy, Texas, with his
two grandchildren, who will be
given over to the care of Miss
Johnson. This arrangement is in
accordance with terms of Mrs.
Johnson's will, which stipulates
that her two little children be taken
in charge by their aunt. Mr.
Hodges will return in about two
weeks and will take charge of and
improve the property at Olmito
which Mrs. Johnson had lately pur
chased. Among the arrivals last evening
The Herald was pleased to note
Leonard Lavton. Leonard has
been at Waco the past five months
finishing a commercial, course at
Tobev's Business college. The
young man is now thoroughly
equipped for a position in the busi
world, being a graduate and hold
ing a diploma from this well known
college. Leonard is a bright young
man and his diploma shows a gen
eral average in all branches of
98 2-5, a record to be proud of.
The Herald congratulates Leon
ard on his success and wishes him
well in his chosen profession.
Dr. Snow, of the University of
Kansas, and two other entomolo
gists from that tate arrived in
Brownsville last night. They im
mediately struck camp about a
mile from town and The Herald
learns, will remain about one
month, making a thorough study
of insect life in this section, es
pecially those species which are
harmful to crop growing. The
gentlemen will find pleasant in
vestigation in the various forms of
insect life found in the Browrfsville
country, not all of which, however,
are enemies to the farmer and truck
grower. It may be that when the
country becomes a vast area of
growing fields the bugs will be
forced to change their native food
plants, and attack growing crops,
in which case it is well to be pre
pared to meet the emergency.
United States Marshal Hanson
was yesterday in receipt of some
silver mountings for a bridle that
for cost and uniqueness will prob
ably not be surprassed outside the
trappings of royalty. The buckles,
clasps and ornaments for this in
tended bridle are the gift of a
friend of Capt. Hanson, Mr. K.
H. Merrem, immigrant agent and
inspector at Laredo, and are of
solid silver from the mines of Mex
ico, skillfully hand-wrought by the
natives of that country; As yet
the fine parts of this bridle are to
be put together with the necessary
leather and bits, but when this is
done Marshal Hanson will be the
possessor of one of the most hand
some bridles yet brought to viewu-
Thisf in connection with a splendid
$250 saddle, also the gift of a
friend up the State, will make the
Marshal adequately accoutered in
deed. Galveston News.
