BISHOP HOSS' SERMON.
Preached to Big Crowd at Court
House Tuesday Night. $4,000
Raised for New Church.

Bishop lloss of Dallas, arrived
Tuesday afternoon and preached
at the court house the same night.
The service was opened by a song
by the choir. Next Rev. Catlett
Smith of the Baptist church led
the congregation in prayer.
After the prayer. Miss Glitky
rendered beautiful solo.
Bishop lloss took his text from
the Bird chapter of st John and
10Th verse "God 50 loved the
world that lie gave His only be-.
gotten son. that he who believeth
in Him should not perish but
have Eternal life. The Bishop
drew fine sermon from this text,
showing how this passage dis
closes the love Of God for the
world. He compared God to an
earthly father, plainly pointing
out what, sacrifice it would be
to give up u beloved son. He
preached for nearly two hours,
citing many instances of love and
faith. He drew many lessons
from the text all of which were
instructive and to the point.
After the sermon the work Of
taking up subscriptions for the
new church was begun. We can
say that approximately $4,000
was raised for the new Metho-
dist church. Upon going to press
it is impossible to get a list of
the subscribers as all will not be
in for several days and the COM
mittee positively refuses to allow
a partial list to be printed. Think
of $4,000 being taken up at one
church collection. That shows
the interest "our" citizens take
in "our" town. There are five OF
six business men who are mem
bers OF the church who subscribed
$500 piece.
Bishop Hoss left yesterday on
his return to Dallas.

A Good Suggestion.

Ed. Press. In conforming to
the requirements of the postoffice
department in numbering the
houses as a requisite to free deiiv-
cry, it may not be known to some
of our citizens that almost all the
blocks in San Angelo are already
numbered on the official insurance
map Of the town, and the system
is 80 simple that there will be no
difficulty in extending it over the
whole town. 1t is known as the
"Philadelphia System" and has
given universal satisfaction wher-
ever tried. For example, Magdalen
street divides the town east and
west, and the river north and
south. The TurnVerein hall is No,
102, Mr.. Nolte's shop 200, Mr..
Ragsdale's building 300. Starting
at the river on Cakes street, Mr..
Mlller's shop is No, 106, Mr.. Rich
ardson's office is 200, Masonic
hall 300, Mr.. Guthrie's residence
32S, Mr.. Cunningham's 400, Mr..
Tom Balls SOP. Mr.. Andrew Nor
gan's is 113 Preusser street, East
San Angelo.
Very truly yours,
CLARENDON Ions.

The Kind Of Decision That Wins.

want to impress on you the impor.
lance of deciding promptly. The man
who can make up his mind quick
makes up other peoples minds for
them. Decision Is sharp knife that
cuts clear and straight and lays bare
the fat and the lean; indecision dull
one that hacks and tears and leaves
ragged edges behind It, Say yes or no
seldom perhaps. Some people have
such fertile imaginations that they
will take n grain of hope and grow Il
large definite promise with bark on it
overnight, and later, when you come
to pull that out of their brains by the
roots, 1t hurts, and they holler.-From

A Good Kind Of Discomfort.

There ar" two kinds oc discomfort
In this world, the discomfort that
works ard the discomfort that wrings
its hands. The first gets what 1t wants,
and tie second loses what 1t has.
There's no cure for the first but sue
cess and there's no cure at all for the
second, especially If n woman has it,
for she doesn't know what she wants,
and so you can't give II to her.
Happiness Is like snlvation-a state
Of grace that makes you enjoy the
good things you've got and keep reach.

err And home isn't what's around you,
but what's inside you.-From "Old

More Rains Fail.

The Giver of all good gifts has
seen fit to transform West Texas
into as extremely wet country
as has the reputation of being
dry. For forty days rains have
fallen at almost regular intervals
in every county adjacent to San
Angeles trade territory. The
sun shines and the rains fall.
The rains fall and the sun shines
but the cloudy days outnumber
the clear ones almost four to one.
But not a kick is recorded. The
stockman smiles, the sheepman
laughs, the farmer is hilarious,
the merchant, although his bust
ness is quiet for the time being,
joins with the happy trio because
he sees good times acoming. San
Angelo never saw spring season
the advent of which witnessed
such degree of satisfaction
among all classes. Destiny has
good things III store for this Sec

City Council Meeting.

The City Council met in regu-
lar monthly session Tuesday
night with a full board present.
A petition from the property
owners on Concho avenue asking
for permission to build a walk
across the street from the post
office to the Pioneer Drug Store
was granted.
Petition of George Hartsell to
build an addition on his present
property, not granted A resolu-
tion was adopted to make Billy
Whytock official house murderer
of the city.
The street and alley committee
reported with reference to the
opening of Randolph street
through to First street. This
street is not wide enough, and the
committee was requested to cor
respond with parties owning a
wedge shaped piece of ground, to
get the price on same and report
at next meeting. The city con-
templates buying this ground to
make the street wider. The pro-
position of Cora Brown and
Others at the last meeting in re-
ference to this street, was not
considered.
The street and alley committee
brought the attention of the
Council to the need of a street
grader. This was referred to the
committee to get prices on a
grader and report at next meeting
of the Council.
The fire and water committee
was empowered to purchase 500
feet of fire hose.
j. b. Coleman made petition
to erect an s TT. picket fence on
property running from Twohig
avenue through to the alley on
the north. He was allowed to
erect a TT, fence in place of TT.
Petition of Oscar Ruffini to
move the building now occupied
by Eddie Maier to the lot adioin-
ing his office, granted.
City Physician f. l.. Bats
next addressed the council in
reference to the small pox situa-
ton. He urged the council in re-
gard to the necessity of taking
more precaution. He stated that
there were only four cases re-
naming and they were on the
road to recovery and did not need
the services of a physician any
longer. These cases are still
under strict quarantine. DR..
Bats also stated that the first
case of small pox was traceable
to the country. He said the city
and county should work together
in stamping it out. That he
knew of persons who had been ex-
posed to small pox at Knicker-
booker and Chistoval coming
into town and returning and that
he had no right to quarantine
these people as city health officer.
There's where they should work
together.
Sundry accounts were allowed
and ordered paid. We might
add here that the city has been to
IA big expense in the vaccination
of 451 school children and many
outsl 1ers. DR.. Bats and Mar
shall Spears have worked faithful
ly and have just about stamped
out the small poA.

PRETTY STORE DISPLAYS
San Angelo has Dry Goods Stores
the Equal OF Which are Not
found Outside Larger Cities

One of the most important
events of the week to the great
shopping public of this city was
the Spring showing of street and
tailored hats at the popular store
of Winkler e. Hudson Co. The
interior Of their store was hand
somely decorated with displays Of
ladies hose, table linens, spring
dress goods, and most beautiful
of all,-handsome tailored and
ready-to-wear millinery together
with large assortment of ilowers,
foliage and fancy ribbons. The
display was we'll advertised in
these columns and despite the
fact that unfavorable weather ex-
listed on both days, Thursday and
Friday, the store was visited by u
large number of ladies of San
Angelo and tho surrounding dis
tricts.
Red hats seem to be the rage.
In keeping with this fact Mrs.
Sherman had one window show
ing red hats and trimmings over
a white background. Another
contained millinery of all colors
and both windows reflect credit
upon the designer and trimmer.
Wlnkler & Hudson Co. know
where to go for their publicity.
Their ad in last weeks issue of the
Press brought results. They are
highly pleased with the result.

CHEAP EARNS IN TEXAS.

On the first of next month Texas is
to put on sale tract of land twice the
size of Connecticut comprising in all
about G,O00,0O0 acres. This land Is
varied in quality-grain and rice land,
cotton, sugar, fruit land. also land be-
meath the surface of which are found
oil and minerals. The territory to be
disposed of is part of the school do
main. 1t Is understood that this sale
is TO be no paradise for grafters and
land grabbers. as is customary In the
disposal OF large tracts of land. Texas
is after homeseekers and farmers. and
with this in view only 100 acres Will
be sold to any one person and must
be occupied within ninety days from
date of sale. The terms Of purchase
hre easy. being minimum price Of 81
per acre. one-fortieth Of which is to
be paid down, while forty years time
will be given on the remainder. This
land Is very fertile with irrigation, and
water IL found In most places at Q
depth Of about fifty feet below the
surface.

ROCKY FonD MELONS.

AS Is well known, q melon Of very
superior quality and favor is produced
in limited area of the Arkansas river
valley, which includes Rocky Ford,
Colo. This melon has built up for itself
q reputation on its merits and Is in
great demand all over the country
There is some peculiar quality or prop
erty connected with the soil Of that re-
gion which permits of the growing Of
this little nutmeg melon In It's greatest
perfection. The large profits which have
accrued in the growing of this melon
have tempted many other localities to
enter upon Its production, In doing
which they succeeded in growing n
melon which looks exactly like the
Rocky Ford, but which Is utterly want
ing In Its fine flavor and quality. The
markets of the country are flooded
with these bogus Rocky Ford melons,
while the genuine Rock ford Is retailed
in our cities ut the time this article is
written at as high price as 25 cents
apiece. The people are quick to catch
ON to schemes of this character, and
men who are engaged In trying tc
raise Rocky Ford melons in Iowa and
Missouri might as well get out of the
| business.

BAHAhING TIM wOOuLAN& GNNFYl
A woodland farm, ono from which
the best Of the timber has been re-
moved, can often be bought ut low
price. Such a farm Is usually covered
with stumps, brush and scattering
trees too worthless to use for lumber,
cord wood or railway ties. We are
asked as to the most economical meth
cd of clearing up and subduing such
q farm with the end in view OF max
ing 1t good pasture or arabic land.
The question of time allowed for this
work cuts n big figure. If the land
must be cleared as soon as possible.
the old expensive and laborious plan
of brushing, burning and stump pull
ing must be resorted to, but IL one is
not i'm hurry and can walt a few
years there is much easier and far
less expensive way. This IL by stock
ing or pastul'ing the tract with cattle
and sheep for few years, the only
hand work done on the tract being the
cutting and removal of the young and
growing trees. Such land should be
seeded down with tame grasses-tim
otby and white and red clover-and be
heavily pastured-that Is, enough stock
should be run on the land to keep II
closely fed Off. Used in this manner
about ten years there will be not much
left on it to prevent its cultivation
save some stumps, which, with the ex
ception of the conifers, will have Sc
decayed that they may be very easily
removed. We have found that to log
burn and clear such land in one yea
will cost not far from $25 per acre, o.
twice what such land may be bough
for. In the other way this cost o
clearing is mostly eliminated and tn
land made to return n good rate o
interest on the investment from tn
| start
