WILL REORGANIZE CHOIR
Miss Laura CASTOR to Take Charge OF
Music at Reid Memorial Church
December 1.

Miss Laura CASTOR will assume
charge of the organ at the Reid Me.
mortal United Presbyterian church.
commencing about December 1St
The music in this church will be led
by a quartet and chorus choir under
the direction of Miss CASTOR. The
work of forming the choir will be
pushed as rapidly as circumstances
warrant good results. The choir loft
nthiS church will accommodate a
large number, but it is the intention
to limit the membership. No trouble
should be experienced in securing a
good chorus, as the advantages offered
by this church to sing with the fine
organ, and under the direction of an
experienced director like Miss CASTOR,
is not often offered.
1t is the intention of the officers
and music committee of this church
to furnish first class, consistent
church music. The music commit
tee is composed of the session of the
church, together with Mr.. Chas. Ma
gaw, Miss Clara Myrick, Miss Edna

What We owe 80 Insects.

Professor Darwin said that if il had
not been for insects we should never
have had any more imposing OF attrac-
tive flowers than those of the elm, the
hop and the nettle. Lord Avebury
compares the work of the insect to
that of the florist. He considers that
just as the florist has by selection pro-
duced the elegant blossoms of the gar
den. so the insects by selecting the
largest and brightest blossoms for fer
tilization have produced the gay flow
ers of the field. Professor Plateau of
Client has carried out a series of re-
narkable experiments on the ways Of
insects visiting flowers. He considers
that they are guided by scent rather
than by color. and in this contention
he Is at variance with certain British
naturalists. Whatever may be theTat-
fractions In flowers to insects-aE yet
it appears undefined-it is certain that
the latter visit freely all blossoms alike
making no distinction beDeeen the
large. bright colored ones aid the less
conspicuous blooms like those Of the
currant, the lime. the pGne tree, the
nettle and the willow.

The Game of Adjectfves.

A party of schoolgirls had capital
fun one day over a game of adjec-
tives''
One of the girls, who was rather
clever, wrote a little story about some
thing that had happened at their
school. and she was careful TO use no
adjectives. The story was not more
than 800 words altogether. and where
the adjectives should have been she
left blanks. She did not show any
one her paper. but she asked her COM
panions one after the other to supply
her with adjectives for the nouns,
which she told them haphazard. SO
that they might not guess what the
story was till all the adjectives had
been supplied, says Home Notes.
Then she read the tale aloud. and the
shouts of laughter from her compan-
ions showed that the game was a sue
cess.

Mrs B. F. Graves. a daughter of a

Mayor Hathaway, once proprietor OF
the famous Taunton Nail Works She

siderable ability. Many of her paint
ings adorn her home. She was in
public life as an artist and literary ex-
pert in her earlier years.
About "a years ago she was mar

her. She had no children, but her
adopted daughter. Daisy, nursed her

Why. all the world seems upside DOWN.
The lady doll from Paris town

Go things we'd greatly like to keep.
For, though you might not find them

To US they're very hard to spare.

Until they turned to butterflies.
And once we lost Aladdin's lamp.

every part of the country. whether
it be salubrious California or Flo
rida, or from where the thermom-

The true knowledge of a combi-

referring to southwest Texas, its
agricultural and horticultural pos
sibilities, and which will before
long, if not already, place this
favored region in the very foremost
position as the most productive
portion of the earth's surface. The
overflow of the Rio Grande for
untold centuries, depositing its
alluvlal stratum on the surface,
has created a new valley of the
Nile, comparable from every stand
point to the old one of biblical
times, and which is today known
as the lower valley of the Rio
Grande. The productions of the
soil in the most varied phase of the
situation is amazing in its fecuud-
ity and fertility.
We will refer for a brief space
to land values and their extraordi-
nary increment. But a few years
ago, before the ST. Louis, Browns

terminus at this point-two years
ago l think next mouth-the
prices of lands have gone up in
leaps and bounds. 1t has been
said that land owners here place
too high value on their holdings,
and due to that fact many are
scared away who otherwise would
purchase. But little reflection

chasers, and especially if they be

A STORY THAT
NEVER GROWS OLD
Further Testimony About Rio

Wonderful PrOductiveness Shown by
Practical Results. Remarkable Yield

Cane and Cotton Per Acre
Proves All Claims.

The story of the wonderful fer
tility and productiveness, and
many other advantages with which
Dame Nature s bouAteous hand has
blessed this sun-kissed valley of
the Rio Grande has never yet been
more than half told. It is a story
that never grows old, because of
the infinite variety of the details
with which it may be adorned.
That this is true is proven by
the readiness with which journals
devoted to farming or similar in
terests publish articles relative to
this section. Secretary John Ban
non of the Business Mems Club
has found in these journals a ready
means of spreading the good news
concerning this new Fl Dorado of
the lower Rio Grande, and is con-
stantly using his best efforts to
advertise its manifold attractions
for home seekers through these
channels. A late article from Mr..
lannon's pen, which appears in
the current number of the Texas
Stockman and Farmer. is copied
below.
