An Appeal that Cannot SIC
Overlooked

r. the Citizens of Waco:
[ earnestly appeal to all who are dis
posed to help entertain the old, gray
haired veterans, who will meet here on
the both and Dist, to meet at the court
house tonight to perfect arrangements.
We have so far only got homes for one
hundred ami twenty-five persons and
have received lette from one hundred
and fifty who expect to attend. From
all the information we can gather we
will have at least three hundred, if not
more. We have raised in money only
three hundred dollars, and of that
amount 1t will cost, in transporting the
veterans to and from depots, at twenty
five cents per head, not including
their baggage, one hundred and
tiftg dollars Now let me ask in
all candor, how are We to entertain one
hundred and seventy-fye people on our
one hundred and fifty dollars? The
time has come when We must act. The
citizens of Waco are too proud of the
good name We have always borne to
have II 40 abroad that we could not en-
terrain the old gray-haired sires of our
country-as noble band of heroes as
ever shouldered muskets-the people
who gave us our beautiful Texas. Again
l earnestly ask You to come out and let
us show by our acts that we are not nm
mindful Of the obligations we owe to the
fathers of our country.

We had the pleasure OF meeting yGstcr-
day Mc,SIs. Sou h, Tland and Cruukshank,
two gentlemen from California, who came
to II ps to take a look at the state and
locate "A sheep rancho. These gentlemen
met and travelled with Mr.. John 5. Moore
last year when he was in California and
from him they got some very good i'm
~, sSions OF this state. They are men Of
intelligence and means and expect to 70
into sheep Rising extensively. They will
purchase not less than ten thousand sheep
ii they can buy the right kind OF range
and are going TO make a tour OF inspec-
ZION 10 see where they can best be suited.
Without laying disparaging word OF
California, for it is one of the best sheep
states in the Union, we can in all candOr
and mod, sly say that it is the expression
OF ali who Lave had experience in both
states that Texas is far the superior OF her
sitter on the Pacific slope. Texas affords
better range and more OF it, there is less
drOuth in the sheep districts, the fllckS
are less liable to disease and the increase j.
much greater than in California Those
in the sheep business in this state htye
grown we:lthy much faster than Cal for
MIA sheep men. and persons from that
state are every day coming into Texas to
engage in the business. Such men as
Messrs. SOuther!and ard CrookShank will
be sure to succeed here tecause they are
practical men who expect to civ e the bust
ness their attention. We hope they may
be pleased with this country and settle
somewhere west OF here in the territory
tributary to Waco So We may be able to
see more OF them.

be on the point of publishing a descriptive
catalogue of all the unmarried women in
the State who ROW own or expect to inherit
property valued at 5000 or more, with ac-
eurate details as to age, appearance and
personal characteristics. The mercenary
aspect of this enterprise is more than offset
by the intrepid valor which can contem-
plate without quailing the inevitable errors
which will find their way into such vol
ume.
The natives of the large island of New
Britain were formerly of such bloodthirsty
disposition that, when they had no COM

Cionary efforts. During the last few years,
however, the various tribes have been
brought into friendly relations, and opened
vigorous trade with the outside world.

tablished rate OF interest of 10 per cent. and
are scrupulously exact in financial transao-
tions.
