MERIT ALWAYS WINS.
An Evidence of What Energy, Ability
and Courteous Treatment will
ACCOMPLISH.

Yesterday q Press man was
passing the Star Blacksmith shop
and noticing the proprietor, Mr..
VIM. Mcdonald, at work on the
diseased foot of horse, stopped
through curiosity to see him COM
plete the work. We were at once
impressed with the fact that he
understood the nature of the
trouble and the proper remedy to
be applied. especially the style of
shoe that should be worn by the
animal. Mr.. Mcdonald makes a
speciality of scientific horseshoe
ing and has, as a result of his
care and judgment, u long list of
well pleased customers.
We were invited into the interi-
or and there found a we'll equip
ped shop, supplied with modern
tools and machinery, so arranged
as to provide convenience, one
end of the building being used
exclusively for wood work and
carriage repairing. Mr.. McDon-
aid is kept busy and informed us
that his patronage is steadily IN
creasing, for which he requests us
to thank the public, those who
have favored him with their work
He realizes that their confidence
has enabled him to build up to
his present position and will en-
deavor to show his appreciation
by careful attention TO any work
entrusted to him in the future,
Mr.. Mcdonald prides himself in
the class of work he turns out and
is willing that it be compared
with that of any other smith. He
has never had to turn away any.
thing, because of an inability to
meet the emergency, although
many difficult propositions in the
way of repairing have been pre-.
sented to him.
When in need of anything in
the blacksmith or woodwork line,
call at the Star shop and you will
be pleased with your choice.

KNIGHTLY HOSPITALITY.
San Angelo Pythians will give a
Grand Housewarming In their
Elegant New Hall.

As indicated in last week
Press. Tom Green Lodge, No. 46,
Knights of Pythias, at its regular
meeting of last Wednesday night,
decided to fittingly celebrate the
building of the fine new, two
story. stone castle Hall building.
The date has not yet been fixed
but that small matter will be at
tended to as soon as it is learned
when the building will be able to
stand the strain-for, it must be
remembered, when the San Ange-
10 Knights do anything, it is al
ways what contractors call "a
turnkey job'-nothing left un-
done. They will not he selfish
either, and in keeping with that
spirit, have decided to invite the
members families, visiting
Knights and neighboring lodges.
OF course, the festal board will be
a prominent feature, but, there
will be, also feast of reason and
flow of soul and with that end
in view the program will include
brilliant oratory and sweet music.
The occasion will be what the
Knights make out of everything
they undertake-a complete sue
cess.
The following additional COM
mittees have been appointed, but
every other Knight is a commit
tee of one to assist all he can
toward the event.
