SANTA CLAUS did duty at millions OF
homes yesterday and many millions OF
little hearts were made happy by their
mythical benefactor. The coming OF
the old fellow IL one of the sweetest
decisions OF childhood and the enjoy
ment IL affords is shared in to a great
degree by the parents, who grow young
again In witnessing the delight OF their
offspring. There are some goody, goody
people, who think II almost a crime 70
practice such deception on children,
but Rev. y. W. Allen ism one OF them.
In his sermon Sunday he took decided
issue with such people and showed how
foolish was their contention. He ad-
vised his hearers TO go home and make
the children as happy as possible by
the innocent and sweet delusion and
they must have taken his advice iudg-
ing from the way the little ones told Of
Old Santa's visit.

some of the Advantages Possessed
for Will Sites
Far-slghted thinkers believe the time Is
not far distant when all the cotton and
wooden mills of America will be near the
fields where the raw material is produced.
No city in the South is likely to be more
prominently in view, II such a change
takes place, than Houston. and no COUNTY
is likely to be more thoroughly Inspected
than the county of Harris. The county Of
fers every advantage for mill sites. At is
close to the coal fields of East Texas a'.a
to the great lumber belt bounded by the
Trinity and the Calcasleu rivers.
The county officials have not heen slow
to provide every reasonable accommodation
for the agricultural population of Harris
county. Within the last three years eight
fine iron bridges have been constructed
across various streams, four free ferries
have been established and more than
twenty miles of excellent graveled road
has been built The bridges were erected
over Buffalo bayou, at Main street, Hous-
ton, at Harrisburg, at Shepherds dam,
Vicks crossing and across Bray's bayou
at Kuhlman's crossing, Simms bayou at
Clear Creek crossing, Clear creek at Web
ster, and across Green's bayou. The free
ferries have BEEN established across Buff
falo bayou and Green's bayou, and two
across San Jacinto river. where bridges
were impracticable on account of the width
OF the streams. That there are more than
200 miles of improved. graded road in
Harris county shows how well the farmers
are provided for to reach the city with
their produce
There are forty school districts III Harris
county, exclusive of Houston, atty school
houses belonging to the State There are
eigtyfve schools, 100 teachers and n
scholastic population, between the ages OF
s and 16, inclusive, Of 6uSS. White and
colored children are taught in public
schools
But there is, aside from the question OF
| the establishment of cotton and wooden
mills and other manufactures in Houston.
another great element that should make
Harris county lands particularly good
/ property to possess The building OF the
ship channel making Houston deep water
port will appreciate values of all lands
along Buffalo bayou from Houston 10 the
bay, and win create such a variety of new
fields for business as will considerably OK

its attendant suburbs.

Last year, for the first time. the alamo"
nutmeg melon was planted at Webster.

ment, to ascertain II the flavor of the
Texas melon would be equal to the famous
Rocky Ford" Colorado melon, The price
paid was 30 cents crate at the stations,
all purchased by the ST, Louis Arm, who
had for years handled and advertised the
Rocky Ford until 1t had become a staple
from Colorado to New York
The first years experience proved so sat-
isfactory that this year the price paid by
this same firm is so per cent advance over
last years price. or go cents case.
AS n result, the Webster people planted
this year 400 acres, and 1000 acres were
planted and are now being shipped from
a few towns between Houston and Gal
weston and the peculiar flavor that hes
made the Rocky Ford article almost inds-
pensable at hotels and restaurants is found
