freely up the gulches, from the
\ north east point of the compass
I y to the nosthwest point through all
the variations makes it most de-
sirable winter place to visit.
Some of the largest mining tunnels TO
be found anywhere are here that
penetrate the bowels of the earth
bringing forth millions of the
ricn metals.

be the prettiest to be found in the
couGtry. From it ramifies some of
the most.lovely drives that can be
found il, the mountains, terminal
ing at Elevated mountain lakes and

NEUROLOGICAL RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, it has pleased our Heaven
ly Father to call home our beloved
sister, Mrs. ID. A. Lawrence DIETER
known as Grandma" Lawrence).
After long and useful life spent in
His service she has passed. from our
midst to her reward; and,
Whereas, we feel that in her death
We have lost one of our most faithful
and earnest members; therefore be 1t
resolved:
l. That while We deeply feel our
loss in the death of our dear sister,
we know the Lord can not err, and
our loss in her gain.
2. We thank our Heavenly Father
for her consecrated Christian life and
pray that her death may bind us closer
to Him and make us more Jealous for
the cause which she loved so well.
8. That a copy OF these resolutions

time were required it would be impos-
sible at almost all times.
The only reason for being dissatis-
fed with the present meeting place is
the lack of room for some adjuncts
that would be very useful in the work
of the club. For instance, it would be
highly beneficial to make the club
rooms a general business exchange,
where everybody, town people and
country people, could meet to talk
about anything and everything of a
business nature. The farmers should
be invited to use it freely. Men from
different parts of the county could
meet by appointment and arrange
deals of any kind.
In order to fit it for this purpose ii
should be furnished not only with
chairs and tables, but with writing
desks and stationery. An ample sup
ply of the club stationery should be
kept on hand for the free use of ev'
erybody. Some of the merchants would
want to have special desks for their
customers, and there should be room
for these.
In connection with this business ex
change there should be a permanent
exhibit of the products of Brazof
county and samples of the soils. This
should be supplemented with illus
trated descriptions of everything, Sc
that homeseekers could find just wha
they want without running all ovel
the county to look for it. To this
should be added as complete informa
ton as possible about business oppor
tunities of every kind.
For the information of the farmers
the state and national agricultural bul
letins should be kept on file and di
! rectory of reliable dealers in all kinds
of seeds, livestock, etc, and every
thing should be indeXed so that thu
desired information could be easil,
| found.
OF course, it would take "a liv,
wire" to supervise such an institution
but a presiding genius can be founC
in the person of an attractive youn:
woman, who will have place 70
everything and everything in its place
The right woman in the right plac,
would be worth her weight in gold.

j. D. Steele's Method of Keeping
Potatoes.

Mr.. J. d. Steele, of Millican, has
abundance of yellow yams for seed
He never fails to keep his vans safe
through the winter His method is,
after digging and allowing them to
dry, to pile them on dry spot; cover
them completely with a thick coating
of dry cornstalks, straw or grass; then
cover all with thick coat of dirt,
leaving a small air hole at the top,
which he covers with a box of proper
size TO fit Mr.. Steele has used this
method with perfect success for ten
years.
While in town yesterday Mr.. Steele
presented the editor of The Eagle with
"a mess" of his yellow yams, which
we're served for breakfast thiS<morn-
ing, and were pronounced Equal to
the best of the famous FLORIDA yellow
yams.

COMMERCIAL CLUB HEADQUAR
TIERS.

The proposition to have the head
quarters of the Commercial Club any
where but in the business section is
preposterous for many reasons. The
club is strictly a bushes sorganiza-
tion;, it has no social side, and to
locate it away out in the suburbs
would be the height of folly. On the
contrary, its home should be as near
the center of business as practicable.
For simply office purposes no better
place can be found than its present
quarters in the city hall. Sometimes
it is necessary for the directors to
meet on short notice, and they can
get together there as quickly as any
where. But suppose the place of meet
ing were half mile out, how many
could leave their business long enough
to attend? Sometimes it is difficult
to get a quorum now, and if more

One of the lady writer's in the Civic
Improvement column today is inclined
to scold the merchants because the
business streets are not as clean as
the residence streets. This is not al
together the fault of the merchants.
The litter and dirt in the business sec
ton is mostly caused by wagons and
teams being corralled there. The bust
ness streets can never be kept neat
and tidy while they are used as sub
stitutes for corrals. While the present
methods continue there is no POSSIBLE
ity that the business streets of Bryan
can be kept clean.

viii Plant Ten Acres to Yellow Vans

Among our callers yesterday was
Mr.. w. f. Simpson, an intelligent
young farmer who will plant this year
ten acres to yellow yams, on the farm
of Mr.. j. d. Steele, of Millican. The
slips are already up and transplanting
will begin in about two weeks. Mr.
Simpson expect sto make at least one
hundred bushels per acre, which, at
80 cents per bushel, will be worth 500
per acre. This is a low estimate, both
of the yield and the price.
