With this issue the Tribune
enters upon its sixth year. Our
large subscription list and the in-
crease of patronage indicates a
good healthy growth and we have
no cause to complain. The I rib-
une is to day recognized by those
who appreciate a paper giving all
the general and local news each
week as the leading paper of Bos-
que county and have come to
look to it for reliable information.
Our friends and correspondents
have helped wonderfully to make
it strictly the people's paper. No
one is ever inteentionally slighted
in its news colums, and we will
appreciate items that may be
handed to us. If everybody un-
derstood the difficulties in gather
ing items perhaps they would give
us more credit for those we do get,
or at least when they know an
item woud tell us about it. The
Tribune is here to stay and will
be found fighting lor Meridian
and Bosque county as long as
the editor has a dollar to buy
paper and ink. Our latch-string
always hangs on the outside, and
you are invited to give us a call.
Whenever a country editor
with a hatful of battered type
and an army press has to be look-
ed to as the moulder of public
opinion it is time for respectable
citizens to quit the town—Sun.
The census enumerator at
Orange has discovered a man
who had been twice married, is
the father of thirty-six children,
is yet young enough to earn good
wages at daily labor and takes
good care of his family.
The Masonic Home at Fort
Worth was dedicated Tuesday
with impressive ceremonies.
The gold fever at Keene in
Johnson county is running high
assayer reports $25 per ton, and
it is claimed there is plenty of ore
oight.
Kaufman county gave Gossett
about 5000 majority at the pri-
mary last Saturday. With all the
counties in the district Burke has
a popular majority of about 887.
Government cotton report
states there are over 2,000,000
acres more cotton planted this
year than last. The condition in
Texas is 71.0, being the lowest
June condition reported in twenty-
five years and sixteen points be-
low the ten year average.
When you have a stray dollar
in your jeans don't forget to pay
for your paper. Wc do not con-
sider it policy for a subscriber to
become from two to five years
delinquent on his subscription
and we know it is not best for
the editor who has to pay for his
paper monthly or go out of the
business. We would much rather
receive our money in advance but
we are willing to carry you one
year and no longer, we have often
heard the remark, "It takes money
to make the mare go," but in this
case it takes money to make the
press go, so if you want to see
smiles playing on the countenance
of the editor pay up your sub-
scription. ,

dition only about $60,000 greater
than last year.
H. C. Cooke, county judge, was
granted a leave of absence from
the county at such time as may
