The special feature of the week was an
invitation dove shoot arranged by Mp.
Miller Boykin near his plantation, some
ton the section had for wild doves was
cornfield which was submerged during
the summer. rendering the corn unfit Tor
harvest. and during the past few wee KS
the doves have been assembling there TO
feed on the moldy kernels by the thou
sand. Mr.. Boykin, noting the fact, sent
out Invitations to hundred or more
sportsmen of Camden and many other
portions Of the state. The gunners were
stationed at various places about the
field. the birds flushed and the fun began.
Again and again the birds rose and cir
cled, but always returned to the delecta-

the days shooting was made at dusk II
numbered several hundred birds.
Among the most delightful OF recent
social affairs was progressive bridge

SHOWS BIG INCREASE

THAT United States commerce with

trict amount to s20.s75.b1l as against
s161s7.4s4 OF last year. showing an In.
crease Of s4.sos.037.
In addition to this. goods valued al
s3.Bss,42e went through the district
IN bond. most of this being for re-ex-
uortatioh from this country. Last year
the figure for this was s1.s54.s10.
The receipts for the Laredo district
for the year were S11s.oo0.2S. This Is
an increase OF $4,000 over last year
II costs Uncle Sam about IS cents to
collect dollar in custom dues on the
Mexican border, S4l.S96.s4 being the
amount paid out In salaries and other
working expenses.
good many seizures were made In
the district during the year. In S19

sS.125.o6 were confiscated by the Of
Ulcers. the articles involved being
principally Mexican cigars and ciga

In all probability the Headquarters
OF the Laredo district will be trans
