tentiOn was attracted to Texas, with
the result that a number of expert
ment situations were established in
South and East Texas. At Halletts-
vile, in Lavaca county, the govern
mental stations were established in
work, obtained results that are high
ly satisfactory, and it has since de-
veloped that the tobacco grown there
is equal to the best grades of i'm
ported Cuban tobacco, and far ex-
GELS any tobacco grown in any other
state in the Union. The cigars manu-
facturered at Halletsville are gain
ing not only state reputation, but
also a National fame. A corporation
known as the Lavaca County Tobac-
co Company, composed OF all the
prominent business men of that city,
has been formed to manufacture the
native tobacco, in order that the
merit of the new Texas product
should become better known. This
was found TO be necessary, as manu-
facturers were using Texas tobacco
and giving the credit for the high
grade goods manufactured there
from to Cuba. The enterprise
shown by the Lavaca county people
should be recognized, for by firmly
establishing a market for the tobac-
co, they will bring millions of money
into the state that has heretofore
been expended for improving Cuban
cigars and tobacco. and ultimately
make tobacco one Of the great money
crops of Texas. While at Brown
wood we had the satisfaction of
smoking the new Texas cigar known
as the "Lavaca."
This cigar is manufactured by the
Lavaca County Tobacco Co, entirely
from tobacco grown IN Lavaca
county, and is hand made. They are
put up in a handsome package, the
label showing an actual scene taken
from a field of wrapper tobacco,
growing under a canvas shade, the
stalk having attained a height of
eight feet The sale OF this Texas
cigar will be great, and we hope our
merchants win send for a trial order.

A STATE CANAL.
TO the Harlem Farm Has Bcen
Surveyed,


The state of Texas has recently
had survey made by an experienced
civil engineer of Richmond. j. C..
Tolman, 10 determine the cost and
probable value of canal from the
Cane and Rice Belt Irrigation Com
pany's canal to the state sugar cane
fields on the. farm at Harlem. The
survey shows that an expenditure of
only about $3.50 will place water on
over fifty acres of cane and the pro-
bable value, in increased production,
would be enormous as compared to
the cost of permanent construction.
In case OF drouth this work would
insure a crop. and the entire planta-
ton could be irrigated at a small
cost. The Cane and Rice Belt Irri-
CATION company proposes to furnish
the water necessary to irrigate the
land mentioned free for one year.
This improvement will be of vast
value to the Brazos valley section.

SAND FOR LOCOMOTIVES.


The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has as Its standard design a sand
house apparatus that has proven most
successful and the best arrangement
for handling and drying sand for
locomotive use This Arrangement
of sand house has been applied 10
quite a number of the recently con-
structed round house terminals and
eoaling stations at Brunswick. Nd,
Cumberland, Nd, Keyser, W. Va,
Fairmont. w. Va, Holloway, Ohio,
Gienwood. Pa, New Castle Junction.
Pa, etc.
BY 1t the wet sand storage is plac-
ed at the head end of the coaling tres
tie and the cars containing the wet
sand are placed over the storage bin
and the sand discharged from self
dumping cars. The wet sand stor-
age bins have a capacity of 20 car
loads, or 2100 tons.
The sand drying room is located
in the center of the wet sand stor-
age bin and so long as the wet sand
is stored on a level with or above the
caves of the roof of the drying room
it is conducted into the hopper of
the sand stoves by gravity When
the amount of sand in storage comes
below the roof of the drying room
the sand is the shoveled into the
stove hoppers.
When any part of the sand in the
stove hoppers becomes burnt and
thoroughly dry it flows through the
meshes of the netting and falls to
the floor onto the dry sand hopper.
from which il is conveyed TO the
sand tank by gravity. After the dry
sand tank is filled the application of
about fifty pounds of air pressure
closes the sand inlet valve and auto
matically forces the dry sand up
ward into the dry sand storage bin,
from which II is conveyed by suit
able arrangement of valves and
spouts into the sand boxes on the To-
comotives.
This sand is used by the locomo-
tives on wet and slippery track, and
TO assist the work of the locomotives
in stopping train.

s o'clock.
Rev. Shepherd has for the last fiji
teen years done wonderful work in
that country and has the distinction
of being the only negro in the world
who is a fellow of the Royal Geogra-
phical Society of England.
He has recently visited a number
of our largest churches and both by
the matter of his address and his
manner of presenting his subject has
won the esteem and respect of all
who have heard him.
The service is for white people
only, and I can assure all who will
attend that they will spend a pleas
ant and profitable hour,
