Lindsey and family, who have
been spending the past two weeks
at Brazos Island. The report very
pleasant outing. w. ]. Hodges,
of Olmito has also been with the
Lindsey family at Brazos, but says
the stay there did not prove bene6-
cial to him, from the fact that
bahing facilities were lacking, and
he was compelled to walk at least
three quarters of mile in a wet
bathing suit, and the cool wind
which blows almost continuously
caused hoarseness. Mr.. Hodges
returned to Olmito this morning.
Besides serving breakfast at 1880
a. m. at Point Isabel on July 4,
the ladies of the Sacred Heart
church fund building committee
have arranged for a match game of
baseball between the lawyers and
doctors of Matamoros and Browns
Vile. This will be an interesting
feature and will no doubt be a
source of much merriment. Iced
watermelons and lemonade will be
sold at the ball grounds, and a
lunch will be served in the after
noon, before the time for departure
of the train from the Point Seats
in the shade will also be sold for
those who desire to view the ball
game comfortably. A regatta will
be held on that and, and other at
fractions will be added which are
TO be announced later. The ladies
propose to make the occasion a
most pleasant one, and while en-
joying the attractions, offered, you
will also be aiding good cause
and it is hoped a large crowd will
take advantage of the low excur-
sion rate to Point Isabel and return
on that date.

going TO California until the recent

going TO California until the recent
earthquake disturbances there
caused them to change their minds.
These inquirers, and the thousands
! from other places which Mr.. Cha
pin receives lead him to believe the
influx of immigration to this Sec
ton this fall will be unprecedented
and will result in an era of de-
velopment of which the country
has not dreamed. Mr.. Chaplin tells
Us he has sold land to about 400
people during the past three
months, and many of the purchases
will occupy their holdings this fall.
One man has several banana trees
of the commercial variety and on
three of these trees the fruit is now
repenipg and compares in quality
and flavor with the fruit usually
supplied to the markets. He also
informs us he will put in a 10-acre
fig orchard next season which he
thinks will be a paying proposition
Taking all things into considera-
ton, Mr.. Chaplin sees a very
fattering prospect ahead for the
entire lower Rio Grande section,
and is pardonably enthusiastic ovel
the outlook for Hidalgo county,
Cotton is splendid he says, and
early corn is made.
The dance at the Miller hote
last night while not largely attend
cd on account of so many of the
young people being absent from
city, was a very pleasant affair fol
those who participated. The dining
room is large and cool; has beer
recently renovated and reprinted
and is a very pleasant place fol
dancing. The ladies, attired il
their airy shirtwaist suits were
charming, while the gentlera:
also wore shirt waists, and ap,
peared delightfully."- cool. Splendid
refreshments aided in making the
evening most pleasant, and all who
attended were well pleased. Those
absent from the city missed a treat
which will probably not come tC
them again this summer.
