According to the Houston Post therel
are probably fewer cotton farms in East
Texas than there were ten years ago,
many former cotton planters having
turned their entire attention to fruit
culture. We cannot confine cotton
production. In time Texas will be ex
pected to produce 10,000,000 bales an
nually and this means our cotton area
must increase year by year and our
cultural methods improve. The great
question which should elieit the atten
tion of our producers is that of eco
nomical production. It isfar more im
portant than the immediate question
of supply.
A MARIETEA GIRL WINS SUCCESS.
Four years ago, May, 1903, Miss Zeli
na Smith graduated from the Marietta
High School. By competitive exami
tion she won a one year’s scholarship
to the Univarsity of Nashville, Peabody
College for teachers, where she has
been in school since. In 1905 she took
the Licentiate of Instruction degree
and on May 29 of this year was gradn
ated from the Unmiversity with the
Bachelor of Arts degree.
During this past year she has been
a leader not only in the social but also
in the christian life of the college. She
has been first member of the executive
committee of the literary society of
which she was a member; and repre
‘sented the society as orator In the An
‘nual Oratorical contest this May. i
As chairman of the Bible Study Com
mittee of the Y. N. C. A, she has man- J
aged the dsily devotional Bible study
for the young lady students of the col
lege.
As an evidence of Miss Smith’s pop
ularity among the students, she was
selected from among sixty graduates
to be student representative to respond
to a toast at tlle Annual Alumni Ban
quet,
Not only the students show their ap
preciation of Miss Smith but also the
faculty of the University, as was shown
by the honor bestowesl upon imme
diately upon her graddation when she
was unanimously elected to the chair
of Latin in the Preparatory Depart
ment of the University of Nashville—
‘““not by political pull,” said Chancellor
Porter, ‘“but on merit.”” Miss Smith
will return to Nashville the middle of
September to take up her work as
teacher.
300th ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST COM.
MUNION AT JAMESTOWN.
Next Sunday the Episcopal Church
in the United States proposes to com
memorate the first celebration in the
English language of the Lord’s Supper,
at Jamestown, in 1907. This is an event
in which not only the Episcopal Chureh,
but all Christians in America, are in
terested, as it showed that the first
English settlers brought their religion
with them and left to us an example of
faith and trust in Divine Providence.
It is hHoped that the men will show
some gratitude by a liberal Thank of
fering on next Sunday for missionary
purposes.
DON'T DO IT.
Every now and then you read of some
man having embezzled the funds en
trusted to his custody in some business
enterprise. The handling of money
that came Into his hands, the desire to
get rich quickly, living beyond his hon
est earnings, created a condition of il
legal shortage by appropriating other
people’s money. The result, investiga
tion, disclosure, arrest, trial, conviec
tion, disgrace. Why will men not learn
the lesson fromn other’s experience. Be
sure your sins will find you out.
REWARD.
The “*Hall of Curios’" will be opened
Friday evening, June 14th, Flag Day,
at eight o’clock, at the home of Dr.
Nolan. About one hundred rare and
original worke of art will be displayed

olution. Admission to the hall and re
freshments, 25¢. Come, and you will
learn what the reward will be.
HOMICIDE.
Tom Lockhart, colored, was stabbed
to /[death in this city Tuesday night
about ten o’clock. The cutting took
place on Railroad avenue, and the ne
gro was carried to the residence of Dr.
Nolan, where he died. Lulu Holmes,
a colored woman, was arrested, charg
‘ed with doing the killing.
