Never hit a man when he is
down. He might catch you
when he gets up.
Now all together let s all help
some one else to be happy for
Christmas. Then see how much
real happiness you get.
Christmas will come on Sunday
this year. That gives the poor
newspaper fellows a chance to
have a holiday on Christmas day
at least.
HI Which is proper to say, “the
hens are laving, ” or the hens
are lying?”-Val Verde County
Herald.
The hens are setting.
Hondo Davis has become so
imbued with the Christmas spirit
that he has forgotten all about
the famous Hondo hog pens.
Pshaw! At the present price of
ham and bacon a hog pen would
smell real sweet to most of us.
Davis is a funny feller.
saloons closer to their “midst’’
than formerly, seem to be hurt.
There are many ways of down-
ing whiskey, but it is difficult to
down a saloon. We fail to see
where Floresville won anything.
It is desired that the poor be
made happy for a few hours on
Christmas. You certainly want
to get in on that. Read item
under the head: “Make All
Hearts happy,” in another col-
umn.
CHRISTMAS!
If bacon is forty cents a pound
and a fellow has six kids, what
is a yard of “cuss” words worth
on pay day? Send answer to
this office.—Val Verde County
Herald.
Kill the kids and say your
prayers. Cuss words don’t buy
anything but trouble.
We are here with the goods!
The biggest and best assort-
ment of Holiday Goods ever
seen in this section is being
opened up this week by the

We sincerely hope Del Rio will
succeed in incorporating. An
election has been called for the
30th of December to incorporate
under the commission form of
government. The campaigh is
waxing awfully hot. The local
papers and the progressive busi-
ness element vs. mossbacks and
pull-backs. If Del Rio don’t in-
corporate she ought to be asham-
ed of herself, and in years to
come she will be.
Bill Easterling has been crying
because some of the Alpine peo-
ple have been swiping the Eagle

The Smelter.
Mr. S. W. Traylor, President
of The Traylor Engineering Com-
pany of New York City, was in
Eagle Pass last Saturday to in-
vestigate local conditions with a
view of investing money in the
proposed zinc smelter plant.
At a meeting of the directors
of the Industrial League held
Saturday evening Mr. Traylor
stated his position in the matter
as follows: both he and Mr. Vog-
elstein, he said, were ready to
put up money to build a smelter
here on one condition, this was
that an engineer first be employ-
ed to thoroughly examine the
zinc mines from which the smelt-
er expects to draw its supplies,
and make sure that ore can be
obtained in sufficient quantity to
permanently operate the smelter.
Mr. Traylor stated that he
found the local conditions ideal
for an enterprise of this kind,
that he knew of no other place
so well adapted to operate a
smelter at a profit, and that he
felt reasonable sure that ore
could be obtained, but that be-
fore the New York people would
invest, the fact that ore could be
obtained must be established be-
yond doubt by an expert engineer.
The cost of this engineering
work will be not over $4,000. In
order to raise this amount it has
been decided to form a develop-
ment company capitalized at
$4,000, with shares at $100 par
value. After the report of the

people in Texas right here in
Eagle Pass. That is one reason
we think the best improvements
that could bq made would be
none too good for them. Let us
have some first class street lights
and sidewalks. Our people are
entitled to the best going. They
are able to pay for it and the
majority have proved that they
are willing to pay for it. Just
because a fellow likes to do busi-
ness in the dark is no reason all
others should be compelled to do
theirs in the dark.

I FROM TODAY
Down at Floresville they voted
the saloons out of the city limits.
The city limits of Floresville are
small—many of the nicest resi-
dences being just across the line.
The saloons did not murmur—
they just moved their booze
joints and thirst parlors across
the line and while not doing
business at the same old stand
are doing the same old business
at new stands, and no one but
a few residenters who have
Some Karakule Sheep.
A number of the famous Kara-
kule sheep Dr. Young with great
difficulty and much expense im-
ported from Southern Russia,
and for some time has had at
Menor, Mex., have been penned
in the Marlow camp yard this |
week, under detention, prepara-'
tory to being shipped to Capt. j
McKnight, the owner of the|
famous buffalo herd, who hasj
purchased them from Dr. Young j
at a small fortune. They have j
been attracting considerable at-!
tention. They are a large and j
hardy species, with the noted big
fat tail and long wool. Mr.
Adams is in charge of them, and
they are to be used by Capt. Mc-
Knight in the experiment of
crossing them with common
sheep. It is said the climate of
the Panhandle country is very
similar to that of their native
country and they are expected
Electricity will be the only fuel used for

dining table and it costs but a few cents. As
cheap as GAS.
