Furnished by the chief OF a public service information
bureau Lavaca is probably the largest shrimp market
fn the world. Last year it shipped out 100000

Political shrimps are not included in this count.
Texas has enough bituminous coal underlying its
territory to supply 10000 900 tons a year for 900 years.

Galveston with PAL per 1000 stands second among

The Knights of Pythias will meet on Tuesday evening at S o'clock in their rooms at Community hall
 Only a few witnessed the spec tacle yesterday morning of a rum runner making desperate try to escape the police. The fleeing ma chine sped up the main street with the officers only a scant distance behind. The runner was caught be- fore he reached Berlin.
 The Boy Scout camp will open next week for the summer season. Scouts may attend for week or more. Several boys from here are planning to attend.
 No special celebration locally has been planned for the Fourth, Family reunions and picnics will he the gen. eral order of the day.
 A young doe made it's appearance on the school grounds yesterday morning but on the approach of some children dashed into the woods nearby. It is believed that it was the same animal that was seen near Community hall last Tuesday evening. Several deer have been seen near Smiths crossing in Westfield recently.
