A dispatch to The Herald from Little
Rock today announces that Brownsville
will get the Southwestern Shippers
Advisory Board next month. They may
be here for two weeks. Two hundred
or more will attend.
The publicity lat the Lower Rio
Grande Valley is receiving, the grow
ing belief that the Florida California
booms will soon extend this way, are
creating a healthy interest in the Val
ley that is certain to bring thousands
of visitors in the next two years.
Five hundred excursionists are in the
Valley this week from the north. When
northern crops are definitely harvested
the number will increase, and the peak
of the season, usually in February,
should see a thousand prospective in
vestors everv two weeks. Not to count
those growing numbers that come
down alone, prospecting.
The recent completion of the River
side Hotel in Brownsville has increased
the hotel capacity of Brownsville to. 2s0

Il look forward to its arrival and
read every line and am watching the
progress of my native city with Joy
and pride. NV congratulations also
for The Herald. It's quite up to date
and compares favorably with any paper

of our progressive Valley and | hear
all kinds of words Of encouragement
from people who go there. I'd like
you to mail me the latest pamphlets

We all thank you. Mrs. Thayer.

Brownsville has more than the usual
share of those who appreciate good mu-

is sponsoring the appearance here of
the best there is available in the way
of musical entertainment.
But ii is impossible to bring that

unless it is supported.
The music club is not seeking profit
in its various presentations. 1t is seek
ing only the satisfaction of hearing
good music, of bringing it here for the
benefit of its members and such of the
public as appreciates good music.
The music club efforts should have
the support of all. Tickets may be had
at the McCleary music store.

headquarters at San Juan.
