NOTES FROM VILLA MARIA

was not only present at the semi
annual examinations held recently at
Villa Maria Academy, but took an ac-
tive part as one OF the examiners.
The showing made by the young Ia
dies evidenced a thoroughness of
training that was extremely crafty
ing.
The easy mastery they evinced in
treating the subjects OF art and science
submitted to them for demonstration
indicated how useful they might be as
leaders of thought among the circles
in which they are destined to move
This was especially apparent among
the graduates and seniors, several of
whom are blessed with talent and a
love fer application that are not ordi-
narilv found in the classroom. 1t would
be a pity to allow these splendid ca
pabifities to remain unproductive after
they have left their alma mater, as
happens in the case of so many of
convent graduates.
We want to see their names promi-
nent in the field of literature, science
or sociology, and we shall not be dis
appointed if they but allow a prop
erly directed ambition to lead them.

GOOD ROADS, MEET
ING At WELLBORN

There was good attendance of the
voters of the surrounding country to
discuss the bond issue proposition
Mr.. w. E. Graham was by unanimous
choice made chairman. Mr.. Hewitt
made a short speech, outlining the
present method of road building; the
money expended on roads each year,
which, on account of it's necessary
temporary nature, has to be gone over
year by year in order to keep roads.
But with an amount sufficient to build
permanent roads, concrete culverts,
steel bridges and permanent roadbeds,
the upkeep of the highways will be
reduced to such an extent that the
commissioners court can reduce the
present tax rate from so cents to 80
cents on the 500, making a net raise
of only 80 cents on the $1,000
for bond purposes. And" said he,
"the members of the court have made
the statement that the county can be
run upon an assessment of 80 cents,
with the roads that the bond issue will
build, in better shape than it can now
be run upon the 50-cent assessment"
Prof. R. ]. Potts followed with his
splendid address upon the salutary ef-
feet upon communities of good roads,
the method of construction with the
material at hand and the ease with
which BraZos county can (and he be-
lieved it would build system of per-
manent good roads.
Mr.. Ed Hall made an earnest appeal
for better roads and it's consequent
greater comfort to the rural residents.
Mr.. w. e. Graham made a ringing
address favoring the bond issue. He
said, in part: 1T seems to me that
we farmers are vitality more interested
than the city people in this PROPOSE
ton. 1t has been claimed by a few
that 1t is project of the automobile
owners; don't see why. Now, l go
over the road from here to Bryan five
times to one with any automobile
owner that know of; and know that
the benefit to me would be much
IS nothing in the tax to scare anyone
1T ALL"
There was no one present who
wished to speak in opposition to the |
bond issue, and in fact there was a
very small percentage of the audience
opposed to the issue.
