improving and will soon be well

Isabel this morning. This is the
first shipment of beans reported
from here.
That Thanksgiving ball is to be

capacity, such as tent men, etc.

who will spend the winter in
i rownsville.
Mrs. Geo. Ruthven and children
left Wednesday for Corpus Christi
where they go to join Mr. Ruth
ven who is there under medical
treatment. As soon as Mr. Ruth
ven': health will permit "they will
return to Run. Run Cor. Hidalgo

The Herald hopes to soon hear
of Mr. Ruthven s complete restora
tion to health.
Mr. C. C. Pierce ''of Laredo is
now at the head of a company in
which many Monterey citizens are
interested which, is developing the
old Rinconada district and work-
ing the zinc deposits sold .his first
load of calamine in. Monterey last
Saturday. The mine is known as
the "Miners Pierce" and the ores
are brought to Rinconada station
on burros. Laredo -Times.
Recent experiments and invest
igations in Tamaulipas go to show
that the fiber of the stalk of the
papaya tree, known ordinarily as
the Mexican pawpaw, is very val
uable for use in manufacturing
high grades of paper. The papaya
grows luxuriantly south of here,
and it is believed that -it will also
grow well anywhere here or in the
State. There are large numbers of
.the papaya jn the vicinity of Mat
amoros and ffrm. ..there samples
have been sent i to paper experts
for. tests. Hidalgo Advance.
Complaints from citizens of
West End having been made as to
the water standing after rains in
that vicinity, .The Herald is
informed by Mayor Combe that
the matter was presented to the
city council, and after due con
sideration it was decided to drain
the district, and the city engineer
is now taking the levels preparatory
to the work being done. The
health of ' the citizens of that
portion of city was being seriously
menaced, ' and The Herald is
glad to know the work of drainage
will be done at once.
The 20th Century Card club was
very pleasantly entertained Wed
nesday afternoon by Mrs. Floyd
Layton. The first prize, a jewel
case, was cut for by Miss Lott and i
Miss Anna Kenedy, the letter prov
ed the luckier and carried off the
prize. Airs. Killough and Mrs.
Faisans cut for second, a pretty
hat pin, which fell to Mrs. Kil
lough. When the games were over
light refreshments of chicken salad
and coffee were served. Next week
the meeting will be held in the ev
ening at 8 o'clock, at the residence
of Mrs Ratcliffe. Each member
has the privilege of taking an escort
to this meeting.

lonn tsox, tne truck grower

ing passenger yesterday afternoon

A Question of Drainage
If anybody doubts the absolute
neccessity of drainage in this city,
it is only necessary to take a look
at some of our streets after a ra.n.
The water stands at various depths,

making travel very unpleasant,
which is a small part of the harm
that may result. The health of
the city is endangered to a large
extent, a fact which no one can
deny, and where the people's
health is concerned proivpt action
should be taken. Of course in the
summer when evaporation is rapid
the danger is less great, but when
the iainy season- begins, and the
ground is thoroughly saturated,
the matter should be remedied as
far as possible. The Herald is
glad to learn some work will be
done at once in this line, but it
will not do to stop at a little drain
age here and there. Many people
accent whatever comes along and
never ask to nave conditions Dei
tered, never thinking, perhaps,
that the cause of sickness in their
family is directly due to stagnant
water collected in low places,
breeding disease and mosquitoes.
Our city has the making of one
of the healthiest and most beautiful
places in the south, but it can not
be done without labor, and the
expenditure of some money. This
writer has many times heard strang
ers comment upon the lack of
drainage of our streets, and these
comments are not always the most
complimentary. Now, The Her
ald hopes the good work which is
to be done in the upper portion
will extend over the entire city,
and our city council will receive
the heartiest thanks of the whole
people, and feel conscious that it
had contributed iargely to the
healthy condition of Brownsville.
Of course it is not expected the
work could all be done at once,
but "large things from small be
ginnings grow," and theAvork just
commenced could be carried on as
the circumstances would permit.
