of Healthy what they have did
lately if anythink to boost this
town? Have they tride to indooce
various Misunderstanding indus

all sware upon their sollum oaths
that they would perform their du-

How can you expeckt town the

FOR HECK

Tother day Hod Quigly bought pig
often Heck Palmer who lives two miles
west of Bingville and it was in the
bargain that Heck was to deliver the
pig to Snide sound and in as good
health as when purchased.
Well, last Tuesday Heck turned the
pig outen the pen into the road and
started to drive itstords Bingvi1le. The
pig went along without no trouble for
nearly a mile then who should come
driving along the road lords Heck and
the pig but Snide Petersby and his
dog Nero.
Soon as Nero got his eyes on the
pig he made a dash for it and when
the pig seen Nero coming it turned tail
and started back lords Heck as hard
as it could tear and squealing some
think awful.
OF course Nero didn't mean nothink
by this being as he is only a pup full
of mischief and very playful. Snide
hol1erd at Nero to come back and leave
the pig alone but Snide might as well
of save his broth.
Heck tribe to head off the pig but
he failed-the pig hit Heck right in
the shins and lifted him clean into the
air. Heck come down in the middle of
the road with dull sil<kening ttud and
jest as he lit Nero grabbed him by the
leg and begin to shake him like every
think probably thinl<in Heck was the
pig.
Heck got to his feet and kicked the
dog loose then he lit in to Snide and
called him everything he could lay his
tongue to. Snide tride to apollygise to
Heck but Heck wouldn't except no
apolojjy. Heck told Snide if he would
git down often the wagon he would give
him a good thrashin. This made Snide
mad so he jumpt down and sailed into
Heck and throwd him down and set on
him and pushed his Ease into the dust
until Heck hollerd enuff, then Snide let
him up and driv on.
The pig run all the way back. to
Hecks place where it is yet. Heck
sent word to Hold who he sold the pig
to that if he wanted said pig to come
after it hisself being as he (Heck)
was too drove up with his farm work
to deliver said pig and if that diddent
suit Hold he needn't buy the ding
busted pig.

Bill Hepburn Indisposod

Bill Hepburn our aftistick blacksmith

menjous last wk. Only the wk before
that Bill purchased 10 gals of hard CT
der from Pete Rankin out Snake Bend
way and KEEP his skin full of same for
nearly week during which time he
staid in his blacksmith shop doing nc
work but SWELLING down hard cider by
the gal.
Is Last Sunday Bill begin to motifs that
there was snakes in bed with him, spi-
ders in his coffee and 1O0O-legged
worms in his boots. He also TUX his
old muzzle loader shotgun to his black
smith shop with him to kill the ely
funts which he said KEEP comm into the
shop all day long.
Mrs. Hepburn got scairt and sent for
Doc Livermore who give Bill some
drops to make him sleep. Then Mrs.
Hepburn went to the blacksmith shop
and found gals of hard cider which
was all that Bill hadn't drunk and pour
ed it out on the ground. Hank Dew
berry who was present begged Mrs.
Hepburn not to do that but to give it
to him and he would confskate it for
her. What Hank probably meant was
that he would con6skate it down his
neck. Hank said it nearly broke his
heart to stand there and see her waste
all that hard cider in that manner and
that if she haddent been a woman she
would had to of did so over his dead
body.
After TWO days Bill was Strengthened
up and back to work in the shop agin

Bill can't use hard cider with discre-
shion. If he did he wouldn't see me-

TO CONSTRUCT
HIGHER LEVEE
Overlapping Of Present Protection
During Floods Brought Call for
Addition to Structure.

Austin, Tex. Jan. 21.-J. ID. Metcalf

neers.
Mr.. Nagle was engineer in the
original construction OF the levee in
1910, which was built to protect nearly
$4,000 acres of the most fertile land
in Texas This probably was the
largest acreage OF overflow land in
Texas behind a single levee Proyi-
sion only had been made to guard
against such floods as those OF 1899.
The food of last December was from
four and one-half feet to seven feet
higher than the food OF 1899. and the
swift rise OF water made II impossible
to throw up such barrlcade as would
prevent the water from overtopping
the levee through the 26 miles OF its
length.
1t has been the opinion OF land own
ers throughout the overflow region
that such changes as are deemed nee.
essary in the heightening of the levee
and the broadening of the base in
such places as to take care OF the ad-
ditional height should be done at once
and prevent any further disasters.
As soon as possible the work will
be opened up and the levee repaired
throughout its length.

HUERTA OFFERS

Proposition Made by Captain Head Of

at San Antonio Army Post.

San Antonio, Tex. Jan. 21.-A prop

ing OF the Mexican Federal refugees
from Ojinaga at the expense OF the
Huerta government was virtually re-
jected at headquarters of the South
ern Department of the United States
Army yesterday afternoon. Captain
]. Head. Second Infantry. Texas Ma
tional Guard. said he had been COM
missioned by Huerta to make the pro-
posal. He would agree, he says. to
feed the Federal officers for 81 per
capita and the privates for SOC.
Following the conference, it was
said at post headquarters that the
proposition would most likely not be
accepted because Captain Head would
have cause of action against the
United States in case Huerta should
fail to reimburse him for his expen.
