unfortunate wretch who shall be de-

BE lord of thysef, II not of lands"
I was reminded Of the foregoing quo
tation by listening to q grocer give
his reason why he bought q bale Of
baking powders ON Saturday, Decem-
Der 8. from Chicago drummer. He
said he bought them becauLs the
drummer told him that he had sold
them to several other 9rocers, giving
their names, residence, and I pre-
sumo, their ancestors, previous con-
dltition, and soforth. II have never
bought dollars worth of goods In
my life because my neighbor had done
SO. p Az
loo many Of those drummers do not
know whore truth ends and lying
commences. The grocer went to Joe
Thompson's on the 18th and asked
him II 1t was true that he had bought
Q bill Of baking powders from that
Chicago house. He said no.-he had
too much sense. Now, while I am
not stupid enough to think, can
coerce any man to buy my goods, yet
In the name Of common sense 10 there
any policy, sound judgement or JUS
tice In buying from strangers when
you can buy In Waco as good goods,
and In this case. far better goods, in
small or large quantities, Just as cheap
quality always considered. / have
proved to this community that we
can make as good baking powder right
here as any city, Chicago not except

actly two years ago. They all said he
will not last six months. NV busi-
ness now finds employment to four
persons and will employ more next
year. ~ -.
There are . good many other artl-
cles that can be manufactured In
WAGE, that ought to be, besides my
goods.
There is plenty of capital and dor
mant energy In Waco to manufacture
o great deal more than we do. It only
requires q few positive men to 60
ahead and results will surprise them.
Winter with its prlvations is at hand
and there are lots Of boys and girls
who would be only too glad to do their
part In solving life's problem, which
to too many only means food and
clothing, by working in the many in
dustrial establishments we could have
If our city lot, Waco addition and sub
division capitalists would only think
more of manufacturing and less OF
cutting up every farm around Waco
into city lots. I made calculation q
few days ago, and we have vacant
lots for exactly $4,000 people more
than we have, all laid out, planned
and mapped out waiting for custom
ers. I, for one, do not see where they
are te come from, unless we can offer
some inducement, either in the shape
of work first and business opportuni-
ties next. In the meantime let each
one of us give the matter some
thought, and see If we can not induce
some one to do something to make
Waco little larger. and find employ.
ment to those that five here first, and
more will very soon follow. In con.
clusion, patronize home industries, II

work out their own destiny and think
more of what Waco can be made.
