at the land the new owner would take
over the land and would pull up some
grass and break some sticks and
scatter them around over his land.
This would denote that he was now
the owner and could use the land ss
he saw fit. Don Jose's record Of
title shows that he went 10 his land
with the adjoining owners and the
representatives of the government, as
witnesses, and took actual possession
Of the land by throwing water. pull
ing grass, breaking sticks and scat
tering them TO the four winds.
Don Jose died in 1909 and left e
will giving the lands which he had
bought to his eleven children but he
did not say what piece of land each
child should have. This led to many
quarrels among the children and
their descendants and finally il was
necessary to ask a court to divide the
land. Some Of the children, or their
descendants, we're living on part Of
the land. In 1881, a hundred years
after Don Jose bought the land, a
court in Cameron county divided the
land among the descendants of Don
Jose and the men who had bought
parts of the land. When this division
was made the land was again sur
veyed and it was found that it ac-
tually contained five hundred and
thirty two thousand acres or sixty
thousand acres more than Don Jose
had paid for. All this land was di-
vided among the ones who could show
that they owned an interest in II.
Among those who had bought land
from some Of Don Jose's descendants
was a man named Raymond. He was
given as his share sixty eight hum
dred acres lying southeast Of where
R~symondville is now located. He
lived on this land many years, clear
ing up q small part Of il for farming
and using the rest as pasture for his
cattle. In 1903 the railroad was built
through TO Brownsville and the rail-
road company established a station
near his land. As he was the nearest
settler they called the town Raymond
vile.
This town is now the county seat
Of a new county called Willacy coun-
ty. II has grown and developed
greatly in the past few years. Lo-
Gated in what is called the dry land
farming section Of the Valley. cotton.
corr and onions grow abundantly.
The citrus industry is fast develop
ing into a source of revenue in this
part of the Valley.
The town of RayrHondville now has
paved streets, handsome school and
church buildings, and pretty court
house.
This land which at one time was
sold for almost nothing is now very
valuable and ~Raymondville a thriving
prosperous city.

Bishop William Lawrence, of
Massachusetts, has received many
honors in his long and valuable
lifetime. but it is not recorded
that he was ever the recipient of
an award for penmanship.
Certainly the Western Union
Telegraph Company will never
give him a prize, in view of a
recent occurrence. It happened
this way.
A Washington friend of the
bishop invited him to be his house
guest during the convention here.
The bishop took up telegraph
blank and scrubbed upon it:
Thanks. Will arrive at Mon
day.
His host in Washington received
the wire which, translated to the
best of the telegraph comDanys
ability, read in it's final form:
~ cranks will arrive at Mon
day
So the host wired back to the
bishop:

Bishop John Gardner Murray,
presiding officer in the House of
Bishops doesn't like to have his
picture taken.
He surrendered. however, to the
Establishments of commercial
picture concern at the Willard.
: The photographer assured the
bishop that his firm and the pub
lie wanted the picture. The bishop
argued that he had never liked
any portrait ever made of him.
But he consented.
After the job had been com.
pleted. the photographer said to
the bishop:
I'm sorry, but we'll have to
get this out in hurry. and prob.
ably won't have time to submit
the proof for your approval.
Its probably just as well,
signed the modest bishop. If you
send it to me for approval, you
won't get it back at all.
Bishop Murray, comforting with
his fellow divines today, told them.
with a twinkle in his eye. that all
sessions of the House of Bishops,
which will consider number of
controversial subjects during the
convention, will be held in the
large 'bawl" room of the hotel.
The record for speed in the con.
yention so far has been set by the
