time. to J. NJ. Anderson, from San

terdav. Mr.. Anderson is an expert
enced hotel man and will have the

Clippings From HidaIgo Advance

There viii be much late corn
harvested in the back part of Hi
dalgo county this fall. Two good
crops a year is not bad.
During the past week fine rains
fell all over the county, as far as
heard from. The late corn crops are
tiourishing, and the yield promises
to equal if not surpass the spring
crops.
The local lodge of Mexican
Knights of Honor held a meeting
on the evening of the 10th for the
purpose OF electing officers for the
ensuing term. The order now meets

G. l.. Youngblood, contractor
from San Antonio, assisted by S.
NJ. Hargrove of Rio Grande, has
been making some much needed re-
pairs on the county jail during the
past two weeks. rhesheet iron floors
of the cells which were placed in
1886, when the Jail was built, had
rotted out making the Jail insecure.
Besides the sewerage was in a very
bad condition. At the last term of
the commissioners court Sheriff
Closner was authorized to enter in
to contract with a reliable firm
for all necessary repairs, and Mr..
YOungblood being on hand offered
to put the Jail in complete order for
the sum of $1400. The price is very
reasonable when we consider the
difficulties in freighting the heavy
material from Hebbronville, and
the fact that entire new waterworks
for the Jail are necessary. The work
is progressing rapidly, and in a
short time "Hotel Closner" will be
up to date, with free baths and all
modern improvements. The man
agement announces that the rates
will remain the same.
