HALF CENTURY HAS
WROUGHT Big CHANGE
Thomas Heard, Who Marketed Pro-
ducts Here, Says Pine Bluffs
Growth Marvellous.

Thomas, Leon and Wyatt Heard,
brothers, of Sabinal Uvalde county,
! Texas, spent several hours in Pine
Bluff yesterday as the guests of their
kinsmen, H. |. Holderness and James
Holderness. The Wyatts motored
from their Texas home to Fordyce to
visit relatives. They were met at
Fordyce by H. l. Holderness, who in
sisted upon them coming to "see the
best town in the state" and this they
did yesterday in the Holderness auto.
Fifty years ago Thomas Heard, who
was born and then resided few miles
south of Pine Bluff. came to Pine
Bluff regularly to market products
and make purchases for his father.

to realize that this magnificent city
fine schools, thriving industries, hand
some business buildings and your
miles of paved streets-I say it is diff
ficult to realize that this fine city has
been built upon that little foundation
of fifty years ago. You've got great
city, no doubt about that And Harry
tells me that with Just little more
vim, Pine Bluff would be the best
town in the United States. knowing
what I do about this fertile country.
I'd be inclined to agree with him, if
he'd except Texas. | have to stand
up for Texas, you know"
The Wyatts say roads most of the
way from Uvalde county to Fordyce
were in good shape, barring a stretch
near the Red river, and that crops in
Texas, in their section and in the
country through which they travelled
are good.
The Mexican situation, they say, is
creating more discussion in this sec
ton than among the folk of their part
of the country. The further away
from the border they get, they say,
the more they hear about the Mexican
trouble. 1t is a fact, however, said
Thomas Heard. that thousands of
Mexicans are starving, and Texans
along the border are compelled to feed
innumerable Mexicans who have taken
refuge on this side.
The Heards returned in the after
noon to Fordyce, whence they will
start on their overland journey to the
Southwest Texas home.
