A move is on foot to reorganize
the Methodist church in Browns
ville. A pastor has been sent here
to take charge of the work, and
the project of building a-'ciurch
will doubtless be taken up by the
Methodists here. Lots for the
church were secured two. years ago
and the foundation was laid, but
for some reason the work was
dropped and the Methodist organ!
zation here was allowed to lapse
for a time. Rev. C. E- B. Smith,
who has just arrived, will have
charge of the work of reorganizing
the church here.
A message was received last
night by Dr. J. K. Combe x calling
him to attend .Mrs. J. L, Landrum
at San Benito ranch, "she having
been taken very ill quite-suddenly.
The doctor secured an automobile
and reached the ranch within au
hour. "Word was - - received this
morning that Mrs- Landrum was
slightly improved but, she is still
seriously 111, and Dr. Combe U
still with her.
As an. evidence of the wide in
terest displayed in the project to
improve Washington Park,, may
be mentioned the collection of a
number of small contributions
among the market men this morn
ing for the fund. The sum total
of the subscriptions was $1.60,
which was made up by" eight con
tributors in sums ranging in size
from 10 to 50 cents.
A trip to Santa Maria which was
undertaken by Dr. Taylor and Mr
Chenoweth in an auto yesterday

auto was able to bring the traveleis
back to town, and they were
thankful it was no worse.
