of the securities involved, it may, to a
certain extent embarass them, and there-

we have as yet not seen how it ter-

EVENTS are transpiring daily to clear-
ly proof that a shameful wrong has been
done the brave soldier lads by the pres-
ent administration. Unfed and unat-
tended at the front, they are flow com-
ing home to die, m^ny before they
reach again the shores of their beloved
land, on the closely packed and filthy
cattle transports. Already five have
died from neglect where one died from
Spanish bullets, and the wail of an out-
raged people is long and deep, and woe
to the man or men at whose feet this
crime is layed. The day of reckoning is
drawing near, and the responsibility will
be fixed, and justly too, no whitewash-
ing is going to be permitted, the cry of
our starving soldier boys is re-echoing
from shore to shore, and no deaf ear
will be turned to it.

Card of Thanks. .
I desire to express my heartfelt thank- J: net a n
through the Breeze to the people of Matagor ’
da for their kind attendance during my dear -
husband’s illness and death. I ’ ” ‘
remember your tender care of him. Death's ;
cruel sting is somewhat lessened when honor
still remains. You, who loved and honored
my husband shall ever be friends of mine.
May the Lord ever bless you for your khidness
and should sorrow be your lot, ms you re-
ceive the sympathy and kindness, that has;
been so generously given to me. (
Mrs. A; E. Baxter. ■
The round bale gin at Wharton has
caused considerable excitement, mass
meetings have been held, and sentiment
is-divided. The management buys cot-
ton in the seed, and planters and mer-
chants, who are doing a furnishing busi-
ness, claim that dishonest tenants take
advantage of this and sneak their cotton
off- and sell it in the seed. On the other
hand by selling in the seed (he farmer
realizes about $4.75 percale more than
when.selling it in the bale.' Whitecap
notices have been served on the owner
of the gin and guards are stationed
around the building at night to protect
the property. One of the square bale
gins has been compelled to shut down,
and the other is not doing much. Cot-
ton is flowing in to the round bale gin
from all parts of the county,, and from
this, and it is running day and night.

A GOOD brick school building is the
next important improvement on hand.
Upward and onward is the move of
Bay City. The little “burg” is pushing
right along.
Already prairie schoofiers are be-
gihning to roll in, the forerunner of a
heavy emigratfbr. this fall.
Bay City is ’steadily pushing to the
front, ho halt in the building boom, new
buildings going up on every hand.
The trouble with us, we always ex-
pect everything bright just a little be-
yond, never satisfied to leave well
enough alone. Remember, “a rolling
stone never gathers any moss”.
Reports coming in now regarding
crops, especially on Caney, are a little
.-are encouraging. If the weather will
enable farmers to gather their
condition will not be so bad,
but this more especially applies to
Caney. So far as the crop on new land
on the prairie is concerned, it is ruined,
for it there is no hope, though we learn
there is some cotton on old land, again
putting on fruit.
Crops are worse if anything in cen-
tral and oorth Texas counties than in
this and other coast counties. Injnany
of those counties it will take twenty-acres
to make a bale and many farmers are
abondoning their crops. This fact should
be considered by those who intend to
leave ’this county owing to the ravages
of the cotton worms, for we suffered’no
more, in fact, not as much, as did the
older settled counties. We have tkis
not only from newspaper reports, but
have seen letters written by farmers in
those counties to friends here, and the
farmers so advised, feel perfectly con-
tented now, no matter what their inten-
tions were before.
