without saving clause, and yet Texas has
better material at home than now repre-
sents her at Washington.
San Marcos Cresset.
Future substantial growth and business
prosperity at San Marcos must lie in the
line of mill and railroad ventures.
The Seguin Record is trying to head us
off i'll the race for the paper mill. Waste
of energy, Mr.. Record, San Marcos has
the best right to the first paper mill locat-
ed in Texas.
SO LET IT BE.
Fort Worth Gazette.
So far in 1886 no killings at Texas
country dances have been reported
There were good many in the year j ust
gone. Let us hope that Mars and Terpsi-
chore have concluded to have no more to
do with one another in the Lone Star
state.
San Ante MO Times.
The Advance never wastes any time try
ing to convince the public that advertis-
ing pays. All business men of ordinary
sense already know it, and all argument
is thrown away on the business" man
who hasn't ordinary sense.
A man who is not sensible enough to
see for himself that advertising pays is
not fit subject to reason with.
THE TRUE RING.
Laredo Times
That ancient and insane folly in regard
to dividing Texas up into batch of lit
tie Office furnishing briar patches and
cattle ranges, is again being canvassed by
nincompoops at Washington. If The
people of Texas have anything to say in
the matter, the state will not be divided
even though it would secure democratic
majority in the senate. Honorable dem
ocrats do not want majority that way
''wHAT FOOLS THESE MoRrALs BE -
Tr-Weekly Herald.
If you wish to be miserable you must
think about YOURSELF about what yor
want, what you like, wfat respect people
ought to pay to you, what people think OF
you; and then to you nothing will be pure
You will spoil everything you touch; yot
will make sin and misery for yourself GU
of everything God sends you; you will b'
as wretched as you choose Charles
Kingsley.
SHAMEFUL LOSS OF OPPORTUNITIES.
Fort Worth Nail.
Since The Mails statement that ceda
leaves are superior material for tanning
a number of papers have taken up tn
subject and are urging the establishment
of tanneries in Their respective localities
There is room, and hides and cedar enoug
in Texas for thousand such industries
and yet it is doubted if there is leathe
enough tanned in the state to shoe the in
mates of the penitentiary.
Waco Examiner.
Waco is very busy. Her trade is wider
ing out in all directions.
Still the Gazette is calling for more he
tel facilities. 1t is a regular Olive
Twist business.
WE NEED NOT WAIT TILL THEN.
There should be some extensive prepi
rations made for cleaning up the cit.
early in the spring.
AUSTIN DISPUTES HoUsToN's CLAIM.
, The Post claims much for Houston, BIT
T, it oversteps the mark little, when
g claims that city as the healthiest in IL
i state. Now here in Waco, when ma
wants to shuttle off, instead of taking 6
: opiate, or jumping off tie bridge, he pa
/ a short visit to Houston, and all his life
f troubles are over at once. Nevertheless
e she is not all bad. With her Billy Bake
y she has her Billy Cleveland.
BUSINESS MEN, ATTENTION.
San Angelo Enterprise.
People who advertise only once in thr
months forget that most folks cannot +
member anything longer than about sew
f days.
We suggest and not reason.
ALL TRY IT.
