was served, and the ladies had NJ
trouble in disposing of their entire

On casting up the cash on hand
S37 were found to be the proceeds
of the evening, which will be add

to thank the public for its gener-

For the purpose of more thor
oughly advertising Brownsville and
this portion of the Brownsville
county, our Board of Trade has
subscribed for 500 copies of THE
WEEKLY HERALD which will be
distributed among the northern
settlers convention, to be held at
Galveston on April p to "a, inclu-
sive. This issue contains a writeup
of Brownsville and Cameron coun
ty, and may be the means of Undue
ing prospectors to visit this sec
ton. The Board of Trade and
some of our citizens have become
thoroughly convinced that people
of this section must be up and
doing if the Brownsville district is
to receive its share of development
and prosperity. The northern set
tiers convention furnishes
splendid opportunity for sowing
the advantages and pos
sibilities possessed by this section,
and our Board of Trade is to be
commended for its efforts in this
direction. THE HERALD hopes
that the 500 copies which are to
be sent out on their mission of ex-
plotting this country, may be the
means of inducing at least one
investor for each copy sent.
THE HERALD received a very
pleasant call today from Capt.
John Haugland, of the Life Saw
ing station at Brazos Santiago. In
conversation with the captain it
was learned that it was through the
efforts Of the life saving crew that
the two men were rescued from the
barge Hannah, which went ashore
south of the life saving station.
Capt. Haugland says the barge was
almost among the breakers when
himself and crew approached her,
and his boat was almost swamped
in returning with the men. A huge
wave which the boat failed to sue
cessfully ride, filled her with water,
and soaked one of the men, and for
a time it looked like the life savers
would be wrecked. They however
reached shore in safety and saved
some of the cargo on the wrecked
barge. The life savers have hard
enough time in their perilous call
ing, and due credit should be given
for their performances. THE HER
AID gave the item as reported, with
no intention of robbing the life
saving crew Of their just dues.
