A Letter From President Taft.-H.
G. Stillwell, the progressive nursery
man from San Benito. who was one
of the visitors in town during the
celebration, was the proud recipient
on July 3rd of an autograph letter
from President w H. Taft. acknowl-
edging the receipt of the fine
grapes which Mr.. StiIlweH sent him
recently. The president expressed
his thanks for the courtesy and said
that the grapes would be enjoyed 1t
is not everyone that has the honor of
receiving an autograph letter from the
president, but then it is not everyono
who can send the president such
beautiful grapes at the season when
these grapes were sent. They were
doubtless the first grapes in the Unit
ed States to be matured at such an
early date.

New Night Observation-Disclosures B.
G. Stegman of the telephone company
announces the glad tidings of the en-
gagement of a new night operator for
the exchange, who comes from Cor
puS Christi. 1t is the intention of the
company to give Brownsville an all
night service now, with an operator
who will remain awake and at the
switchboard all night. Hereafter
users of the service will be expected
to call by number instead of by name,
which is almost universally the Gus
tom now, as the recruit from the city
by the bay is naturally not acquainted
with the names CT the people of
Brownsville.
