BLESSING THE ANIMALS
Novel Sight at Guadalajara on Sar
Antonio Day-Pets Sprinkled With
Holy Water.

Guadalajara, Mex, Jan. 20
The ancient custom of blessing
animals on San Antonio day has
just been observed here. Thou
sands of horses, oxen, mules,
COWS, burros, sheep, goats, pigs,
dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens,
parrots. pigeons and singing birds
were sprinkled with holy water at
La MERGED church. Thousands of
people participated in the cere-
mony as attendants and spectators.
Every animal was decorated in
some manner, and the scene was
spectacular as well as noisy.
San Antonio is credited with
power to protect animals from
disease and insure increase in
numbers. Hence the custom OF
blessing animals on the day
dedicated to him in the Church
calendar.
At no other place in Mexico IS
the custom followed on such an
extensive scale as in Guadalajara.
One must visit Rome or some of
the cities of Spain to witness
similar scenes.

FARMERS
INSTITUTE
Will Be Held in Brownsville on
February 9.
Prof. ]. W. Carson, of A. g. N. College.
Viii Be in Charge. Assisted by
Other Prominent Gentlemen.

THE HERALD is in receipt of il
formation from VIM. Doherty, ger
eral passenger and ticket agent c
the Gulf Coast Line, that arrange
: ments have been perfected wit
+ Prof. ]. w. Carson, director of III
department of Farmers Institute
of the Agricultural and Mechanics
\. College of Texas, for the holding
of a Farmers Institute az Browns
vile, on Thursday Feb. 9.
The party, which will be headeC
by Prof. Carson, who will talk OF
general farming. will also includ,
two other gentlemen, one of whom
will discuss irrigation waters and
fertilizers, and another who viii
talk on the subject of truck. The
two last mentioned will probably
be Prof. II. II. Harrington and
Prof. Green.
The gentlemen who will compose
the party are all recognized author
titles in their respective lines, and
these lines are of especial interest
to the citizens of this section, and
they will no doubt be able to give
our farmers and truck growers
much wholesome and beneficial
advice just at a time, when such
information may he of most valu-
able service.
Farming and truck growing are
in their infancy in this section, and
the benefit from such a proposed
institute will be of incalculable
value to our people, enabling them
to avoid many of the mistakes
which may be expected to occur
in the primal development of new
section. The question of irrigation
seems TO be one of easy solution,
and the fact that the waters of the
Rio Grande contain an alluvium,
which is pronounced by those in
position to Judge, to be one of the
finest fertilizers known, removes a
difficulty with which many sections
have TO contend.
Our people should take the mat
ter in hand and render all possible
assistance in furthering the objects
of this meeting of the Farmers
Institute, and give the matter the
utmost possible publicity. The
time and place of meeting has not
yet been determined, but will be
through these columns
in ample time, in order that all ar
engagements may be made for the
utmost success of the proposed in
stitute.
A. ID. Childress has the matter
in hand, and will place same before
the Board of Trade, which will
make all necessary arrangements
for entertaining the visiting gen
tlemen, and will put forth its best
efforts to secure a representative
and desires the hearty
of all interested in the
development of this sec
ton. This is a matter no citizen
of Brownsville can afford to treat
lightly and THE HERALD believes
the meeting will be productive of
much good to all.

Just Suppose

your wife picked up the newspaper and saw that Seigel.. Cooper Go had standard dress goods advertised at soc yard that the other New York dry goods houses were selling for S1.25 a yard. Your wife was going to the city and thought she would purchase enough of that pattern to make her a dress, and instead of going to Seigel, Cooper Co, where she could purchase 1t at Soc she goes to Simpson, Craw- ford & Co or some other dry goods house and pays S1.25 for the same identical goods; and when she came home told you of the deal, would not you look foolish to think You married woman with such poor judgment? And yet you do the same thing every day you go down town and pay S1.25 for the same identical goods that we sell for Soc or S5c, such as Pepper. Hunter, Wilson, Lewis 66'' and number of other brands. My, but wouldn't you be mad if your wife should reproach you for such poor deal. If my goods should appeal to the American woman it would be en- tirely unnecessary to call their atten- ton in this ad, they would know a good thing when they see it and see a bargain at glance. Let your wife buy your wet goods. A postal will reach us, or call us up on the phone We will deliver the goods.

WE ARE LIVING

In great country, yes siree, America is all right, because almost every
 newspaper you read you'll see where some poor fellow like John D. Rocke- feller or poor Andy have just donated one or two million dollars to some worthy cause, such as educational in- stitutions, libraries, etc. (but none to the poor. Say, we often wonder where they get all their coin; is it possible they get it honestly or is it possible that it comes to them by squeezing it out of the poor fellow with full din ner pail and working for poor pay, or do they roll up their millions by pay ing high wages i've mean living wages)? Well, we see where one "Chauncey" has been receiving S2O,OOO per year for several years for doing nothing for the policy helders of an insurance company that's honestly and say. if a person died on whom you hold a policy they'd make you spend half of it in law trying to col lect it But there is one thing Tn favor of these rich fellows: when they glve anything they do business just as we do; it's something worth getting. For instance last week and the week pre- vious. we gave one dozen dishes with a pound of Tea. and everyone was pleased with them. and this week, and it's this week ONLY, we will give ID bars of pearl soap with one pound Of our warranted good Baking Powder 45 cents per pound. Remember this soap is cents per bar, but you get 10 bars this week with pound Of Bak. ing Powder 45 cents, and let us tell YOU. and it's true, too, that John D. Rockefeller, Andrew c. or dear Chaun- cey D. do not eat any better. and pos sibly not as good. Butter, as we are selling for 9 cents per pound. If ill doubt, just try a pound from

Farmers Clubs in tho CITY.

An invitation from Mrs. Davis and
Hon. Webster Davis was accepted by
the North Newburg and Maple River
Farmers Clubs to spend Saturday at
their elegant home in Coruna. A num-
Der of Owosso and Corunna friends
were also invited and over two hundred
persons had arrived at twelve o'clock
and all were most heartily welcomed by
the host and hostess, and were made
perfectly at home in the log cabin in
specting the interesting curios collected
from all parts of the world, in the
tower gallery admiring the paintings
and pictures, or in the main parlors.
After an hour of visiting and looking
over the home, the company to the
number of one hundred and seventy
eight were seated and served to a
splendid dinner, number of Corunna
friends assisting.
After dinner the company assembled
for photograph, and fine musical
program was rendered by number of
guests. Mr. Davis thanked the friends
for the visit assuring them that it had
been most happy occasion for himself
and mother. 1t certainly was an
agreeable visit for the guests, who were
rlade to feel that they were always well
come at this magnificent home.

L. D. Wilson Disappears.

L. d. Wilson, who was in the grocery
business in Owosso some years ago, but
who has been working for the F..
Saunders Co., of Port Huron, has disap-
peared from that city, writing a
letter to his wife from Sarnia saying
that he was going away to begin life
anew.
1t is said that business failures
worried him, making the use of drugs
necessary to produce sleep, and started
him to drinking. He was well liked,
was a good citizen, church and Y M.
G. A. worker and man who thought
much of his wife and two sons. But he
was much humi1iated by being obliged
to work for some one else and began
drinking heavily few weeks ago.
His many friends here hope that he
will return to his family and become
again the good and popular citizen he
was while living in Owosso.

Creditors Meeting.

At the Stewart & Co. creditors meet
ing last Friday the matter of an audit
of the books at the expense of the
creditors was finally disposed of, but
two or three favoring the going to such
an expense. G. d. Stewart is anxious
that an audit of the books be made, be-
lieving that it would show that there
was absolutely no misuse of the funds
that is, no dishonesty in any use
made of them.
All real estate that can be sold other
than at auction has been disposed of,
and the other parcels will be offered at
auction on Nov. 6 and
Referee Joslyn said that deposits
made the last forenoon would probably
be returned to those who made the de-
posits and that it was quite likely some
action would be taken to recover the
money withdrawn the last forenoon by
any who were aware of the condition Of
the bank.
1t is hoped that the assets will yield
another dividend of from Is to 25 per
cent, making from 80 to 60 per cent
total.

Registry Inspection.

The registry division of the post office
was inspected few days ago by one of
the assistant inspectors from Washing
ton. The Office was checked for some
errors in doing the work but most of
them were given on account of endeav-
ors to assist the patrons of the Office.
Employees are forbidden hereafter to
place stamps or write return address on
registry packages even when requested
to do so by the sender. No person can
sign for another persons registered mail
without a written order being on file in
the office. Persons registering mail
must also wait for receipts as the same
cannot De delivered or placed in the
boxes. The regulations will in some
cases work hardships on patrons but
must be enforced.

Circuit Court.

The 20 acre farm owned by the late
Anthony Van Auken will be sold by the
commissioners of the poor to pay the
expenses of keeping him at the poor
farm. His sister arrived from Califor-
MIA last week and had the body buried
in Pine Tree cemetery.
Walsh & Pardee have asked the court
to compel Edgar Jewell to pay alimony
to his wife, Ina, he having allowed
about $40 to become due.
The Ogden Olcott suit came to an
end Friday, the jury giving the plaintiff
verdict for $500 damages. The case
had continued three weeks and been
very expensive for the taxpayers of the
county.
1t is probable that the Ogden Olcott
case will be retired without an order
from the supreme court as neither side
is satisfied with the verdict of $500. 1t
is too bad there Is not third party to
the suit-the people-as the case took
three weeks of the courts time with the
expense of jury, court officers. ETC., etc.
A suit for divorce has been commenc-

sconding of Sam Pickles, of Jackson, is
responsible for this suit. He had the
stone sub contract and skipped out
leaving many debts. Rickman's Sons,
the general contractors, are thus held
responsible.
Watson g. Chapman have commenced
divorce suit for Ella against George
Noble, of Perry, charging non-support

Two Vetoes.

Mayor Parkill filed two vetoes yester-
day. One suspends the operation of the
resolution to pay N. R. Walsh $S3 33
for acting as police justice. The
Mayor thinks that Mr.. Walsh should
have given all his time for the above
amount which he wishes to draw from
the city and turn over all fees to the
city or county.
The other suspends the operation of
resolutions introduced by Aid. Rigley
instructing the superintendent of the
water works to lay mains on Michigan
avenue and Stewart street. The Mayor
believes the laying of the mains as
directed would be illegal as the attempt
to make two jobs of the work is simply
done to avoid the charter provisions
that the work be done by contract.

Detroit papers state that the Owosso
Mfg. Co. and others are in newly
formed trust and that a factory at
Adrian will probably be closed, and also
one in Missouri. This A. M. Bentley
denies and says the newly formed trust
is simply a selling agency and for
various kinds of goods and that the
formation of this company will have no
bad effect on the Owosso Mfg. Co.'S.
plant here or any other in which he is
intrusted and that if the Laverock fac
tory is closed his factory will undoubt-
edly make enough more goods to more
than make up in employment to men
whe would thus be thrown out.

a Public alton of Interest.

When announcement was made a
number of months ago by Cong. Ford
ney that the department of agriculture
would have soil survey made of GER
tain territory adjacent to Owosso con-
siderable interest was taken in the
matter by owners of farm lands. The
work was done in 1904 by A. w. Man
gum and Charles J. Mann and the re-
suits are given in twenty seven page
pamphlet, with colored map. Only
the northern eight townships were in
cluded in this work and the publication
is of real value and interest to land
owners in these townships Copies may
be obtained by dropping postal card
