but could not help
noticing that there Is not the same
rush, tile same push aud clamor that
characterizes fort Worth. The hack
men do not create such y hustle ana
confusion, the street car drivers seem
10 be more lethargic and pleasure
seekers seem more piacid ana con-
tented in this city than In her younger
sister IN the northwest. no one seems
to be III harry here. Perhaps
they are rich enough already. After
all. however, wish Ia state that Gal

Yes sir. cantor compeIs nae 10 confess
that Galveston has got the bulge on
US, aud Unless the citizens OF Birdville
awaken rom their letharSy aud put
forth their energies they are liable to
be left In the cold by this town on
the Cult. Galveston Is now
making strenuous efforts to
secure deep wn;er. What Is Birdvil!e
doin5 in this respect? Nothing, NIB
solutriy nothing, About the deepest
water we have in Birdvlle Is in Judge
HaVenkamp's artesian we'll which he
las Just built and which only towers

dred feet into the earth. No effort
whatever is beng made to Sc
cure deeper wafer than This
and the probabilities are that the mat

and thus be able 20 crow over us. Git
liens of BiFdville arouse, put forth
your energies, Toe rne scratch and
