The Navasota Tablet says:
The farmers in the Brazos bot
on in this end of Washington
'ounty have decided to bring their
otton to Navasora. They say
hey get more money for it here
han elsewhere" What say the
Srcnham merchants and cotton
myers? Navasota is working for
er own interests and if she can
.et Washington county she will
crtaInly do so. What BRENNAN
ccds more than anything else
lst now is good wagon roads to
he Washington nelghborhood.
We believe that Brennan can pay
s much for cotton as Navasota or
ny other town In this section of
ne state. The Tablet OF last week
Ontains whole column editorial
xtolling the advantages OF Nava-
ota rs cotton market.
