Mrs. Susie Green of Columbus arrived Monday on a visit to her grandfather, J. A. Green. Mrs. S. J. Bates is recovering from a week’s spell of sickness. Dr. Myers attended her. John A. Green, D. A. Treadway, R. H. Hunt, R. A. Carter and several others visited the county capital during the week. Boll weevil damaging cotton some, but not enough to stop the drummers from coming around.

Waddell and family and Miss Webb of Caney and J. G. Dennis of Bay City returned Friday from a week’s outing at the mouth of Caney. The peach crop for the season is about exhausted, a good many of them falling off the trees since the late rains. Watermelons are plentiful and cheap. Your correspondent lent his assistance in improving the public roads hereabouts the greater part of last week and failed to get in the items from this place. Guy Borden, the San Antonio cow buyer, was here Monday en route to Van Vleck with a bunch of market cattle purchased from the Hawkins estate. The rain Tuesday was accomplished by a pretty stiff blow for a few minutes, which took a few limbs off the China trees in the neighborhood and blew down some corn. No other damage reported. Manager Walters and Lineman Oliver were over from Bay City, Saturday, and installed a phone in John Matthew’s residence. We are now equipped with both the long distance and the Bay City exchange phones and we can talk till we are tired. Caney has lots of land supposed to be first class oil land, and if Bay City has a surplus of drillers, send us over one and he can find a place to pierce the earth for a bountiful supply of the oily fluid. John Matthews desires to interest some of the drillers in this regard.

The postmaster here has been notified by the Washington authorities to receive the effects of the Coulterville post office, stating that same will be discontinued on the 31st. This leaves the people between Caney and Cedar Lake without a post office. I am informed that Mr. Zipprian will move back to Matagorda and could get no one else to act as postmaster in his stead.

Byars of Bay City and Myers of Van Vleck attended him during his last illness. We extend our sincerest sympathy to the bereaved parents in their sad affliction. There has been considerable talk of prospecting for oil on Caney for some time past, and it seems that things are about to reach a climax at last. We learn from a reliable source that Col. Holt and Cashier Goode of the First National Bank of Bay City had an experienced driller on the ground Sunday prospecting the new territory, and will in the near future begin drilling on the Chas. Morris tract. The deal was not completed, so our informant states, but prospects are bright for its consummation.

Matthews bought same at a fancy figure. Rice cutting and threshing is now the order of the day. We can hear the steam whistles of the threshers and the Bay City mill daily. Army worms have cleaned off most of the cotton and we can form a better estimate of the yield than formerly, and are now figuring on one-eighth bale per acre. What’s the matter with the Rice Belt railroad coming by us on her way across the county? We hope to see some road cross the county in this direction ere long. Cochran Willis, formerly in the employ of the Bay City Grocery Co., paid Caney his first visit Wednesday in the capacity of salesman for the Wharton Wholesale Grocery Company. W. H. Harmon, an expert machinist of Bryan, has arrived on Caney, and is at work repairing John Matthews’s ginning machinery, which he will run through the season. Welcome to you, Will. A regular pork Norther struck us on the evening of the 16th and continued cooling our overheated nerves for a week. Hope we will not have to exert ourselves and become overheated again this season. Dr. A. F. Box and family passed through here Thursday, en route for Bay City. The doctor returned next day without his family. We suppose he took the train for some other point, but were not informed. A petition is being circulated for signers here to request the commissioners court to grade the road from Bay City east via Caney to the county line at Lynnville Bayou. Hope same will meet with the approval of the court and give us a good road to the county capital.

The bridge across the Colorado Canal Co’s. lateral, near Holt’s camp, has a part of the flooring torn off and is in a very dangerous condition. We also learn that this company has constructed its canal across the Caney-Matagorda road in the G pasture, and that no bridge has been put up, forcing all wagon and buggy travel to go some distance around. Guess it’s about time someone was looking after such things but it seems there is no one interested enough to make a start. …the past week, but none of them were heavy enough to stop the dust from blowing on us, and the rice men still rejoice. Brandon, the crockery man; Harris, the snuff man; Childers, the grocery man; Dixon, the vinegar man; and other drummers worked the trade here during the week. Mrs. W. A. Matthews and daughters returned Sunday evening from a ten days’ visit to Bay City relatives. W. A. went over in the morning and accompanied them home.
