BRACKENRIDGE.
How 1t is Booming and What a Pleasant
Spot for Rustication.


Special to the LIGHT.
BRACKENRIDGE STATION, Tex July -.
-Brackenridge Is still booming. Several
men Of means are waiting for the laying
of of the town, when they expect TO
purchase lots.
Farmers are busy Smelling last wears
crop of corn. two car loads OF which are
now ready for shipment via the railroad.
Business appears TO be good in Pana
Maria aud Cestahowa.
The schools In this vicinity closed
about two weeks ago.
The side track here Is being pushed
rapidlytO finish Four or live tea ms
and scrrpers are kept constantly NOV
ing.
Two professional disciples of the
much. abused and too Oft'-referred-to
Xaak Walton are fishing in the river
with seine, but, owing to the many
inequalities In the bottom OF the stream
they have not been quite as successful
as they anticipated. They will, in future,
use both seine and outlines, and a big
daily haul will be the result. Buffalo
and catfish are the principal species
caught.
A party OF gay and festive Floresvll-
lIans expect to camp out here for few
week, for the purpose, it Is presumed, of
fishing and hunting, both of which
sports yield good results in this neigh
bOrhOOd.
Breckenridge is difficult to sHrpass as
a resort for picnic parties and family eX
cursiOns. Ii would prove both soothing
and invigOrating to the care-wOrn toiler
of the crowded city to take an early
stroll along the banks OF the San AntO-
Mo river here, to walk along the bluffs
that guard and through the groves that
shade il. The nervous whir-r-r Of the
startled partridges as they fly from their
green covert the sudden jump Of the
cottOn-tail Ms he gallOps away from the
intruder on his stamping grounds the
glorious music Of innumerable birds
from the melancholy bass of the dove to
the lively soprano OF the old bird
and wren; the distant murmur
OF the fall in the river; the
Varigated tinis Of stream, heritage
and foliage that everywhere meet the
eye: the 81, eK, glossy coats If the cattle
rs they slowly wind their way to the
water for an early morning drink; the
lights aud shadows of the stream upon
who's" blue waters Is reflected the out
linz of the dropping willows which line
its brink; here digniIied old turtle,
with head up stream, vainly endeavor-
ing TO overcome the momentum of the
swift current, giides slowly down the
rive, and there, n sudden gurgle as a
gar rises to the surface for some reason
known only to himself or 20 experts in
the piscatorial science; all form a pas
toral scene worthy of description by
poet and artist,
Such scenery and its accomplishments
have a rejuvenated effect upon the over
worked brain and tissues of the indus
trial denizen of the city.
What more refreshing. what more con-
duciye to good appetite, good digestion
and good health than frequent baths in
cool water of the river, surrounded by a
bracing atmosphere with picturesque
and beautiful scenery.
Breckenridge has all the cOncomit-
ants necessary for the formation of Il
manufacturing town and a summer re-
sort combined.
Seeing is believing. Come and see. G..

Where do all the unlicensed dogs 20,
when caught by the dog catchers? Is q
question often asked in this city. We
will tell you. There is gentleman liv-
ing five miles out Of the city who has o
glue factory and he has taken the con-
tract for all the dogs and they are taken
by him to his ranch, where they are first
fattened nicely and then turned into
glue. 1t Is believed ladies' poodles and
Chihuahuas make the best glue.
