Messages for Rio Grande City can
sent via Fordyce. This is in &C
cordance with the announcement
made some time ago that the Unit
ed States government would dis
continue the military line after
Nov. l. Persons desiring to send
messages to Rio Grande City will
use the railroad company's line to
Fordyce, and the military line to
Rio Grande City. 1t is quite likely
a telephone line will be put in to
Fordyce, using the old military line
supplies for the purpose. Il will
be seen that a continuance of the
military line would be an unneces-
sary expense. as the railroad line
now reaches Fordyce.

THE HERALD is sorry to learn
that Mrs. NJ. Besteiro has been
quite sick the past few days. We
hope to soon report her complete
recovery.
There will be no school next
Wednesday, that day being All
Saints day. The school will not
be in session Thursday on account
of its being All Souls day.
Work of surveying has not yet
begun on the new irrigation oper-
atoms at Santa Maria, which is
being promoted by Iowa capital
lists, so THE HERALD is informed
by c. S. Clark, chief engineer.
The wonderful resources of the
Brownsville country have no end
and new ones are constantly:spring-
ing up. The latest bid for patronage
is from Fred L. Kowalski, who has
blossomed out into a full-fedged
dealer in live snakes. Fred says he
has a sure method of extracting the
fangs from poisonous snakes, and
advertises fangless rattle snakes as
a speciality.
Once a citizen of Brownsville, |
there is always a spirit of longing
to return and live over with old |
friends the boyhood's happy days.
The last to answer the call is c. J. |
Macmanus, well-known citizen
of Corpus Christi, who arrived OIL
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Macman
us is a staunoh friend of the
Brownsville country and his friends
are always glad to welcome him.
A large number of little folks of
Brownsville are indebted to Miss
Minnie Duffy for a most pleasant
time Saturday afternoon from ? to
6. Dancing was one of the feat
ures, and was greatly enjoyed by
the little folks. Miss Duffy is ever
on the lookout for the little people,
and her efforts for their entertain
ment are repaid by a wholesome
love which is lavished upon her by
these little friends.
Another hunting party expects
to leave Brownsville tomorrow
morning for weeks stay in the
vicinity of Raymoudville. The
party will be composed of Sergeant
Case, Jim Kowalski, Walter Bes-
teiro and a driver and cook. Game
is said to be plentiful in the locali-
ty mentioned and the boys antici-
pate a great time. Especially do
deer and turkey abound in the
territory, and the hunters will no
doubt return well laden with tro-
phies of the hunt.
