Talk for your town.
ThERK is danger in delay
ter clean your premises now.
Bet-
Iv you dance don't try to beat
the fiddler. He must be paid.
Life is said to be what we make
it. If so some people have done
a mighty poor job.
The editors are coming:. How
shall we entertain them? It is time
some arrangements were being
made.
Let every body push the town
forward. Don't let the wheels of
the car of progresss strike your
heels.
Please remember that the first
car of watermelons shipped in the
United States during 1906 went
from the Brownsville country.
The indications now are that
the race for governor is between
Bell and Campbell. .Still you can
not always tell what may happen.
Have you made a start on clean
ing up your premises and oiling
cisterns and water retainers -generally
or will you wait to have
that ordinance enforced.
Bob Taylor ex-governor ot
Tennessee a man of national fame
as a politician and lecturer but of
only ordinary ability as an ex
ecutive recently defeated that
astute statesman Senator Carmack
for congress. As so frequently
occurs the man with the ability to
make himself to be all things to
all men and who li7es and thinks
superficially defeats for positions
where large ability is demanded
the man who is capable of meeting
the highest demands ot a states-
man Eagle Pass Guide.
What has become of all that
bridge talk of a few weeks ago. '
Has it vanished into thin air. Or .
was it only "thin air" at first.' An;
interested public is anxiously wait-
ing. Another crank has been found
who resigned from a school board
because Carnegie wanted to give
the institution $25000 of his
tainted" money." It is probable
the school board did not lose much-
by the resignation.
What can a prospector hope to i
accomplish by coming down and
spending a night in Brownsville
and leaving early next morning.
Not much yet many do this and
then presume to give an opinion
as to the section's future.
Thb city of Cuero should be
proud of the success her citizens
have made of the cotton mill. The
cases are too many where failure
have been made with cotton mills.
It seems to us that when other
places in Texas take up the matter
of building factories the success of
Cuero should be held up to the
public's view instead of the fail
ures of other places. Lockhart
Post.
Since this is now a cotton grow
ing country and one of the best
in the United States a mill here
would be a paying institution.
The Texas onion crop having
been about finished it is now pos-
sible to make a comparatively ac
curate estimate of same. This has
been done according to the San
Antonio Gazette and the yield is
placed at 30000000 pounds or
1000 cars. The acreage is estimat
ed at 15000 acres and will net
growers $3CO000 or $200 per
acre. This is not a bad crop and
will doubtless prove an incentive
to' increased acreage next season.
The small onion grower who has
storage facilities is holding his
crop until the Texas market is
clear of onions and it is thought
the crop will then sell for four
cents. In this event the grower
who rushed his crop to market will
probably feel like kicking himself
a few times.
MISS PECK TO SCALE ANDES
Confident This Time That She Will
Reach the Summit of Huascaran.
New York. To make one other
attempt at climbing Mount Huas-
caran one of the highest of the
Andean peaks Miss Annie S.
Peck whose ambition leads her to
do the scaliugof mountains sailed
yesterday for the scene of the
forthcoming endeavor taking pas
sage for the Isthmus of Panama by
the Colon.
"From Panama" Miss Peck
said I will go to Chimbote on the
Peruvian coast and thence by
muleback to the foot of the mouu-
tain where I will begin the ascent
on foot.
"I tried the ascent two years
ago Dut nad to turn oacic Decause
of a crevasse and because my
guides refused to accompany me
further. This time I intend to
engage Indian boys and they are
as loyal and as daring as the best
of the Swiss guides. They ara
rugged too and do not know what
fear means. In my la'st mountain
climbing I was accompanied by a
scientist and an Austrian. The
one fell ill and the other became
scared. Had I been alone or had
I been accompanied by my Indian
boys. I am sure that I would
have reached the summit.
"I am sure of myself so far as
illness goes" Miss Peck continued
"lam immune against mountain
illness as it is called and of ac-
celeration of the heart action in
high altitudes so that dizziness
or hemorrhages will not turn me
back."
Miss Peck has climbed many
moutains among others the Mat-
terhorn the Gross Glockner and
the Wellen Kuppe.
The suspicious man keeps one
eye ou his neighbor but the wise
man keeps both eyes on himself.
