RoCKwALL AND FoRSEY.
We sincerely hope that the people of For
ney and all the friends of the town will not
neglect anv opportunity TO aid in building
road to Il ckwall. If the chances for a
railroad are too remote for present consider
alton let them urge the construction of n
PLANK road, and get the two sections united
as early as possible. This is, in our judg-
ment, the prime necessity. Control the
trade Of Rockwell county, which belongs 10
Forney legitimately, and the chances for
obtaining the railroad are doubly en-
hanced.-[ Forney Enterprise.
"A JURY OF HIS rEEEs.h
There is some dissatisfaction expressed
over the verdict in the Jere Dunn murder
case in Chicago. The acquttal may have
been the result OF the requirement that a
man shall be tried by "a jury of his peers
Ii murderers were more frequently tried by
juries who were not their peers, but their
superiors, both morally and intellectually,
there would be fewer escapes from justice.
When murderers can secure "a jury OF
his peers" he generally escapes.-[San An

1T WILL BE A FULL HAND.
A leading journal pokes fun at us and
criticises one of our locals in last week s
issue. We stand corrected, and have only
to plead in extenuation for the mistake, the
TACT that we have to nurse pair of twin
babies, write the locals for our paper and
mind the flies off the bald place on the
back part of our Uranium at the same time,
and having but little experience in the
newspaper business, we sometimes get
things mixed up. Please bear with us, and
we will do better when we get our hand in.

TOO MUCH CANNOT BIZ SAID"
The editors of the l.. G. attended the
Press association last week and enjoyed the
meeting hugely. The senior returned home
Friday noon, and the junior took in the
excursion to Monterey, The meeting was
q very harmonious one, and the members
all seemed to take a lively interest in the
business meetings. Too much cannot be
said in praise OF The Dallas people and the
Dallas Press club for the hospitable manner

THE HOPE OF THE LAND.
IL we would have trained thinkers and
trained workers, they must be thoroughly
trained to think and thoroughly trained to
work while young. 1t is gratifying 10
know that more of our young men are be.
ing trained up as workers than in previous
years. There is hope for the country in
this. The logic OF events points with pro-
phetic skill to learning of trades in the fu-
ture, as a part of the education of our
youth. Intelligent, skilled and trained la
Dor is the hope of the land. The educa.
ton OF our girls and boys Is not complete
or thorough without the knowledge of some
trade.-t BRENNAN Banner.
AusTIN's GROWTH.
buildings are springing up at every turn,
anu now, while we write, there are actually
i've churches in course OF construction in
uiiierent parts of the city. We all know
what demand there has been for houses,
and OF the accelerated rate of erection of
dwellings, stores, etc, that the last few
months have witnessed. But even with
TINS building impulse, and the excess of
houses gong up as compared with past
years, the demand seems as unsatistied as
ever. The more we build the more we need
buildings, seems to be the fact. As
q place of residence, il will not be
denied by the most prejudiced dweller in
other cities that Austin ranks very high,
even II it does not take the banner every
time as home town. 1t is beautiful, pic
turesqne, and splendidly located and very
healthiul. It's railroad facilities are ample,
anu the Colorado waters at its feet, 1t is
surrounded by good country, and its
drainage advantages are excellent. IL is
the capital OF the state, and ere many years
are past will become the home of the best
people OF the state. Austin must, sooner
or later, become the hub of Texas the cen
tral star around which all lesser lights will
revolve. The home OF the Just, the chiyal.
rons and the good, Austin is the garden OF
the Eden OF the Lone Star State, and the
central diadem in her coronet OF cities.-
