AROUND MADISON COUNTY
Framklin Weekly Texan:
Men aent out from Beaumont, the
headquarters for the Western Public
Service Company, are surveying the
town preparatory to putting in new
pipes. The town proper will have 4

tricta will have 2 inch pipes. A ns*

Trinity County News, Groveton:
In spite of a steady rain during
the entire afternoon, the baseball
game between the Blue Married
Women and Red Single Women,
proved quite successful. Especially
■o for the Reds, who in the last half
of the ninth inning scored four runs
over the Blues, making the final count
28 to 19.
The fight was close however, and
the Blues declare all they needed was
another inning to come out victorious.
The proceeds of around sixty dollars
Will go to the Parent-Teachers Asso-
ciation.

Jewett Messenger:
Mrs. J. S.. Robinson was taken to
the Scott and White Sanitarium at
Temple Wednesday suffering with an
attack of appendicitis and peritonitis.
The latest report from Temple says
that she is resting well and the opera-
tion may be performed within the
next few days. Editor Robinson ac-
companied his wife to Temple, leaving
the Messenger in charge of the 'Viired
hands." This, together with the
citations and other legal matter, ac-
counts for the shortage of news this
week. We will save H, and try to
print it next week.

Crimes County Review. Navasota:
Folks came to town Monday to do
their trading instead of Saturday be-
cause of heavy rains on Friday and
part of Saturday, and Monday was
busy day in this city.
From reports that come from over
the Navasota section it is in about
as fine shape as any part, for within
the past week deluges of rain and
windstorms have been prevalent in
various counties, but only good rains
have fallen here. True the precipa
tion was more than was thought to
be needed, but it did not come to Buch
great excess as it did in many places
• • ♦
Normangee Star:
T. S. Hill, a well known stock-
man here, passed through Monday on
his way to Fort Worth to look after
some interests there. He says that he
is staying on his farm near Keith
below Iola. They are drilling around
there, bti€ the main interest is creat
ed by fiffpe of the big companies buy-
ing leases. He tells us of one man
who has already received more than
twenty thousand dollars, good old
cash money, for some of his holdings
there.
Word also comes of the oil interest
in the neighborhood of Marquez.
Quite a number up there have sold
leases to one of the big companies for
real money. From what we can learn,
these lease contracts have no drill-
ing requirements, but probably call
for an annual rental payment. If
that be the case, perhaps the com-
pany simply wants to hold them in
reserve until such time as they need
the oil. It also indicates that they
feel suTe that oil exists there.
So that it seems there is oil move-
ment to the south of us, and also to
the north of us. In the mean time the
Paddy well north of town plugs stea-
dily onward, slowly to be sure, but
keeps going down. We are told that
they have much showing of paraffine,
and we are also told that this condi-
tion always accompanies oil. So that
it may be, it may be.
The seductive phrase, "easy pay-
ments" doesn't mean they are easy to
pay. It means it is easy to get the
average American to sign up for
them.

MADISONVILLE BOY WINS DO NOT DELAY CORN AN*>
PRISE OF FIVE DOLLARS COTTON SIDE DRESSING
Maek Henry Goode won first prise

letter follows:

Out of this money I lay aside the

All of the Agronomists recommend
the sidedressing on corn and cotton
when we experience late backward
springs. For the land has been leach-
ed, and is depleted of its quickly avail-
able plant foods. This condition de-
lays growth, and there is not enough
plant food in the soil and the plants
have to wait on the soil to turn loose
more materials before they can grow.
This slow growth usually produces a
large tall stalk with very little fruit
on it, especially cotton. The insects

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
BANQUET FRIDAY NIGHT
RB
SYSTEM /jj
CASH & CARRY \J
The monthly banquet of the Cham-
ber of Commerce will be held at the
Methodist annex Friday night with
a number of the farmers present and
the program is set a aside as a busi-
ness mans program. The business
men want the farmers to know how
they plan their business and work the
plans and for them to always know
that the best interest of the farmers
are always work to a mutual benefit
to both the business man and farmer.
A good program is being worked
out by the program committee and
they plan to have a few short snappy
speeches and plenty of good music.
They expect to have a good attend-
ance.
Mr. W. W. Stewart says: "Yes in-
deed, this rainy weather is getting
mighty serious for farming, in fact
it's past being serious. But in my
experience with farming I never
gave up until July 25th, and just now
it's still a long time before that day
rolls around." Mr. Stewart says he
has always found that both corn and
cotton can actually be made if planted
prior to this dead-mark date. He
says you will have other things to
battle along with, such as insects,
but some kind of crop will bo your
reward for having planted.
about knee high, or at about forty
five days old to get the maximum-re-
sults. While the cotton should be
sidedressed immediately after chop-
ping which is about thirty five days
old. This quickly available material
starts the plant to setting fruit fast-
er than the insects can cut it off, and
insures a larger crop than could be
otherwise made where the plants are
growing tall spindling stalks with no
fruit on them. In other words,
sidedressing is called crop insurance.
CHAPPELL HILL FERRY IS
PUT OUT AFTER DELUGE
Brenham, Texas —The ferry across
the Brazos between Chappell Hill and
Hempstead is closed indefinitely be-
cause of the heavy rains.
The river drift is coming down the
stream. Rains have also delayed
work on the Brazos at the ferry site.
More than two inches of rain have
fallen in Brenham and Washington
county in the past 24 hours. Many
streams are out of their banks, flood-
ing the lowlands. More than enough
rain has fallen and dry weather
would be welcomed by the farmers.
Fortune awaits the individual who
can develop a blue grass that grows
readily in all soils, but never attains
a heighth of over one and seven-
eights inches.

Charm is that indefinable something
that makes you think just as much of
a girl even if she does say good
nightie and all rightie, but no man
has that much charm.
THIRTEEN BOYS AND THIR-
TEEN GIRLS GRADUATE
FROM GRAMMER SCHOOL
In the course of the graduating ex-
ercises of the Madisonville school one
of the outstanding features was that
of the banquet given by the 7th grade
to their parents. At which time a
special pragram was rendered and
honors bestowed on those who were
deserving.
Geraldine Jopling was thc honor
student of her class, having received
the highest average during the year.
Also others received honors for excel-
lent high average during the year.
This is not saying that there were no
others who made good averages, but
those students distinguished them-
selves by getting an unusual high
average.
The occasion was the graduation of
the grammar school students to the
High school and the following receiv-
ed certificates of promotion to the
Madisonville High school for the year
1929-1930: Geraldine Jopling, Han-
nah Griffin, Dora Mae Goode, Louise
