BRYAN AND NAVA80TA.
The NavasoU Examiner reprints the
Eagle's story of the serious accident
to Mr. Robert Hamilton of Grimes)
county on bis return from a recent!
visit to Bryan and comment thusly:
"We are Indeed sorry to learn
of the accident to Mr. Hamilton
. and would suggest In this con-
nection that had Mr. Hamilton .
come to NavasoU where seven '
"big sales" are In full blast he
very possibly could have bought
more goods for the same money
spent and could have returned
home on the train without injury.
Now Brother Eagle this is not
meant as a knock agahsT"your
' town the many merits of which
are duly appreciated by us all.
Bryan really a splendid town
and she enjoys two as good pa-
pers as exist In Texas. We like
you down here but will prevent
you from lnfrlngment If we can."
That's the right spirit and Bryan
reciprocates. The Examiner itself is
Bxffldent evident that-Navasota is
not asleep and the Improvements it
la constantly making have been noted
and favorably commented on by
Bryan business men. Honorable com-
petition Is the life of business and
Bryan realizes that the prosperity of
NavasoU instead of a detriment Is a
stimulus to Bryan. There Is no glory
in beating a laggard but exquisite Joy
in distancing one who does his level
.best
NavaaoU is going after a broom fac-
tory. The Examiner says:
.- Sevenl farmers have become
'Wterestei in the matter and prom-
ise to go in for broom corn heav-
. ily another year if NavaBota gets
the factory. Its establishment
would mean a market for a new
v industry and prove beneficial to a
tjoojmany 'small farmers at leaBt.
THE COTTON MARKET.
Liverpool opened as due yesterday
viz. 3 points down and as there was
nothing in the way to retard progress
there was a continuation of the de-
cline to 4 1-2 at which the market
closed.
Spot sales of 8000 bales were re-
corded In the Liverpool market.
The American market opened 2 to
3 points down ruled narrow and
closed practically unchanged from
Thursday night.
The interior demand for spot cotton
Is good and sales are made at rela-
tively higher prices than quoted at
the ports. This Is taken to mean that
the interior short interest is large
and on the hustle to get the goods.
In Bryan some large crop lots were
disposed of Friday at rather fancy
prices. This cotton had been held
for some Jtlnie and was brought out
by lh strong fle"raand.

Mr. W. II. Walker presented The
Eagle editor a Japan persimmon Fri-
day which weighed 13 ounces. The
fruit was dead ripe and sufficient
juice had exuded to reduce the weight
one ounce otherwise the specimen
in Mr. Walker's opinion would have
registered 16 ounces on the scales.
The tree from which this was plucked
ripened abodt fifty persimmons of
the size shown. Fruit from this tree
was awarded first prize' at the San

' clared onions In the Laredo section

I Colonel Aaron Coffee of McKlnney
held that the proper remedy to Im-
prove farmers' well-being was diverlfi-
cation. Mr. Kidd of Collin county Insisted
that somePhtng must be done to im-
prove conditions. He contended that
cotton was the only reliable crop In
Texas. He and Commissioner Wallace

stating that In Iowa 1ltr. Wallace's
state cau raise the corn crop; that
the farmers could hold It and were
not forced to sell It as soon as gath-
ered Mr. Wallace's reply was that the
Hawkeye state also raised consider-
able wheat and was ' not dependent
upon corn alone.
S. A. Flshburn of Dallas county said
the remedy w&s small land holdings.
Mr. Henson of Grayson county as-
serted dlverlficatlon was the remedy.
He stater not one pound of cotton was
produced by him but that he raised
corn alfalfa and potatoes.

the tenant farmers of the state owing
to being compelled to raise cotton
could never hope to better themselves

the privilege of having a truck patch.

In reply to a question from Commis-
sioner Wallace Mr. Calvin said the

pound was 8 1-2 cents while It cost 10
cents to produce 11.
President Neill of the Texas Far-
mers' union raid the abolition of tho
New York cotton exchange would be
a blessing to the cotton raisers. He
also eald the fieecy staple could not
be profitably produced for less than
12 1-2 cents per pound. He also
