The many natural advantages
of Texas City, are beginning to
manifest themselves, likewise
the improved shipping facilities,
are drawing business this way,
as the reports of the exports and
imports through our city will
show. Our city is growing rap-
idly, but the growth is not of the
“Mushroom” variety, but of a
permanent character, because
we have the location and the ad-
vantages that go to make a city.
It is a well known fact that with
the growth of the city, property
values will increase, and those
who invest while values are low,
will reap the biggest returns on
their investments. Right here,
we would call your attention to
Kohfeldt's Second Addition,
which is in direct line of the
city’s growth. The terms are
very easy and the prices now
asked, will, in the near future
look ridiculously low. tf
I find a man pushing his way through
the lines
Of the cops where the work of the fire
fiend shines;
“The chief? “ I inquire—but a fireman,
replies:
“Oh, no; why-that’s one of those news-
paper guys.”
I see a man start to pass into the show
Where great throngs are blocked by the
sign “S. R. O.”
“Is this man the star that no ticket he
buys?”
“Star nuthin’! He’s one of those news-
paper guys.”
I see a man starton the trail of a crook,
And he scorns the police, but he brings
him to book.
“Sherlock Holmes?” I inquire—some
one scornfully cries:
“Sherlock nothing! That’s one of those
newspaper guys.”
And some day I’ll pass by the great
Gates of Gold
And see a man pace through unques-
tioned and bold,
4 ‘A saint? ” I’ll ask and old Peter’ll reply:
“No; he carries a pass—he’s a newspa-
per guy.”
