Four Issues One Month
Somebody Blundered
When the special train bearing
the Texas Press Association pull-
ed out of Stamford last Saturday
we were informed that no stops
would be made, except at the
grounds where the barbecue and
round-up would be held. The
senior and junior editor were on
board, and they persuaded Ho-
mer D. Wade to include Asper-
mont among the stop overs on
the return trip. He finally con-
sented, and we had visions of a
tremendous crowd awaiting us
at the depot.
Mr. Wade notified somebody
here in Aspermont that the
special would stop. That some-
body either went to sleep imme-
diately after receiving this notice
or it went in one ear and out the
other and was forgotten.
The special arrived, the Stam-
ford Concert Band played, the
editors alighted anli were greet-
ed by a "tremendous" crowd
that we actually believe could
have been counted op the fingers
of two bands.
Here was an opportunity for
our pfeople to show themselves.
Here was an opportunity to have
our city mentioned in the papers
from all over this great state as
one of the places visitnd by the
Association. Here was an op-
portunity to boost our town
without any cost to our citizens
save fhe exertion of coming to
the depot. The opportunity
came, we nid not grasp it. 'Tis
gone and cannot be recalled.
We do not know who this mes-
sage was sent to, don't want to
know, we regret that the party
to-whom it was sent heeded it
not. We have the best people
on earth rigbt here in Asper-
mont, and if word had only been
passed around, they would have
been at the depot in full force
and given the newspaper men of
Texas a rousing welcome to the
biggest little town on earth. We
hung our heads in shame, when
no more tban did greeted the
arrival of the train. .But, well,
somebody blundered, thats all.
We've got a Commercial Club,
now watch Aspermont grow.
Good Fellows, Homer D. Wade,
was the presiding genius of the
occasion from Genesis to Revel-
asions, and he was on the job
every minute. So perfectly had
he drilled and trained each of
his attaches that not one missed
his cue or forgot a single line.
Talk about clock-work. The
Stamford people have got any
such machinery pushed far to
the back ground.
Who seiid the Boosters couldn't
plav ball? Just show us the
mut.
Now is the time to wake up,
put your shoulder to the wheel,
and help us move our prosperity
wagon. In united effort there is
unbounded success.
F. Gaston and wife of the
Granbury News. W. A. Bowen
of the Arlington Journal and F.
S. Roche of the Williamson Coun-
ty Sun, Georgetown, were fellow
passengers with the junior edi-
tor and his wife in that ill fated
car No. 14, on the memorial An-
son — Hamlin — Stamford auto
ride. We do not know the name
of our chauffeur, but he won the
hearts of all of us by his gentle-
manly demeanor even under the
most trying conditions. It was
plain to a)l of us that while he
knew his business the machinery
of the car refused to respond to
the touch of his trained hand.
We venture the assertion that
this car carried about the jolliest
sextet that could have been pro-
cured. May we all meet again
next year in Port Lavaca.
this little four year old city pos-
sessed. The 18th on the list al-
most baffles belief. It says: "Ham-
lin has between 3,000 and 35,500
population," etc. The last cen-
sus gave Jones county about
18.500 population. Will the edi-
tor of the Herald please define
how much territory the corpor-
ate limits of Hamlin embraces
outside of Jones county to assume
the last figures mentioned in
their estimate of the population?
We will make this proposition.
If you will prove to us that you
have the 35,000 we will guaran-
tee vou the other 500.
Aspermont is going to get out
a new map soon, showing some
features that even the homefolks
don't know we possess. Well, we
don't exactly possess them yet
but soon, very soon.
If there was anything that the
people of Stamford overlooked
in their entertainment of the
Texas Press Association, we did
not notice it. That Prince of
While we were in Hamlin, we
met the editor of The Hamlin
Herald. He presented us with
a card on one side of which read:
"Put this in your pocket, and in
case you see fit to mention us in
your home paper, you can rely
on it for accurate information."
Turning the card over, we read
under the heading "What Ham-
lin has" of the many attributes,
commercial, educational, relig-
ious, municipal and otherwise,
At Last
For some time, The Star has
been agitating the re-establish-
ment of the Commercial Club.
We were not going to let up un-
til we got it. And now that we
have accomplished the prelimi-
nar}' organizanion, we are
not going to let the grasy"' grow
under our .feet, until we have
seen Aspermont, her resources,
and opportunities heralded to
the four quarters of the globe.
Then we are going to continue
to move along at the head of the
procession along side the best of
them.
Last Tuesday evening a large
nushber of Aspermont's business
men met at the conrt house, and
organized a Commercial Club.
Don't think we revived the old
one. Not so. No corpse was resu-
rected, but a brand new club
born and gives promise of rapid
and substantial growth. It must
have been in recognition of the
efforts ptit forth by The Star
for the establishment of such an
organization, we can attribute it
to no other reason that the senior
and junior editor were honored
when the selection of officers'
made as follows:
S. W. Thomas, President
W. T. Mullin, Secretáry
J. B. Lipscomb, Treasurer
Another meeting will be h
next Monday evening, when a
board of directors, and the var-
ious committees essential to the
perpetuation of such an organ-
ization will be decided upon.
There will be work for all
do. Let every one shoulder
alloted burden and forget
self work for a bigger and
ter Aspermont, a prosperous
progressive Aspermont^,a bean*
tii'uland attractive Aspermont
a moral and intelligent Asper-
mont. Let everyone.
