Editor and Brother
Had Close Call
Laet Svnday morning about 10
o'clock when Editor W. W. Han-
kin end brother, Fred Rankin,
pressmen with the Ledger, were
going home in the buggy driving
his fine black horse, the latch on
the left side of the buggy shaft
broke loose causing the shaft to
bump against the animals hocks
which started him to run-a-way
at full speed, smashing the left
front wheel which throwed both
out on their backs in the muddy
street in front of the Caldwell
National Bank, and breaking the
buggy all to pieces.
The horse stopped in front of
Jones' tailor shop, two blocks
further, leaving nieces of the
i buggy strewn all the way behind
i him.
Mr. Rankin's back was wrench-
ed and he suffered from soreness
fur several days. His brother,
Fred, only received minor
bruises.
The animals hind feet were
severely cut.
I'robably the parties could
' have escaped any injury if the
. raised buggy top had not hinder
ed their quick jumping, and un
jder the circumstances of th -
'sudden accident it was almost
impossible to hold the horsr
when be was partly out of the
harness.
The buggy was the worst
mangled vehicle ever seen that
was caused by a run a way in
< 'aldwell.

Planting Time Is Close At Hand
And our advice to oer farmere ie to breek up the ONE
CROP SYSTEM entirely, by planting and raising more FOOD
and FEED stuff in 1916. An increased cotton acreage thie
year will more than likely be disastrous next Fall.
FIVE REASONS AGAINST THE ONE-CROP SEASON.
1st.—A ONE-CROP SYSTEM is unsafe economically, be-
cause it is dependent upon crop conditions and market con-
ditions. If .vou fail you are gone for a whole year.
2nd.—Tha ONE-CROP SYSTEM does not maintain soil
fertility. Any system of Agriculture that permanently re-
duces the productive powers of the soil is a serious loss.
3rd. —The ONE-CROP SYSTEM fails to take livestock in-
to account. No permanent system of Agriculture has ever
been devised which did not include a reasonable livestock in-
dustry. There is no more economical way of maketing crops
than to feed them to livestock and market them through that
lives took.
4th.—The ONE-CROP SYSTEM is uneconomic because
under it no equated system of farm management can be adopt-
ed.
5th.—The ONE-CROP SYSTEM has but on Pay Day each
year, while with eggs, butter, poultry, garden, hogs, cattle
and grain you can have some cash coming in all the year around.
Our Bank is ready and willing to aid all deserving farmers
in making their crops. If you need assistance, come in to see
us.

Reels In One Spelt-
Binding Story.
Dogs Affected
With Hydrophobia
A report from the Pasturer
Institute at Austin, was received
Monday by J. J. Autrey, who
sent the head of the black dog
killed last Thursday by City
Marshal Sullivan, there to as-
certain whether the dog!¡was
affected with the rabbies or not
and stated it was, and as there
were many dogs bitten by this
one, it is likely that many dogs
will have to be killed, some oí
them fine ones. There are many
worthless dogs here that ought
to be killed, and thus rid the
town of a nuisance lay good'dogs
less liable to hydrophobia.
You like moving picture ser-
.1 s?
Suppose you could see one
"episode'' follow another until
you have seen a whole great
story consecutively—5-0 reels
each evening for a whole week?
That is exactly what will be done
at, the Isis Theatre here begin-
ning Feb. 10th and continuing
for six wonderful nights.
"The Adventures of Kathlyn,"
Selig's masterpiece, being played
in the largest cities in America,
is the story, in 38 gripping reels,
and is the most thrilling and
sensational picture ever pro-
ducted. From spell-binding in-
terest to nerve-exciting escapes,
the intense magnetism of the
story carries one away.
It is a wild animal drama with
a most pleasing story and is free
from even the least suggestive
movement. The characters, of
whom Kathlyn Williams leads
are Americans, and their deal-

Brenham Banner's
Golden Anniversary
Considerable Decrease
In Cotton Production
The season's cotton report up
to January 16th handed in by
John fltrtwe, official reporter
for the state, shows 16,094 bales
to have been ginned in this coun-
ty, compared with 28,830 for the
same date last season, being a
decrease of 6,896 bales. This
Is due to smaller acreage and
crop damage of the August
storm.
The Brenham Banner celebra-
ted its golden anniversity on
January 27th by getting out a

the manager at unusual cost and

he is so thoroughly convinced of
the superior merits of this great
feature that he proposes to re-
