J" the Citizens of Waco,
In the great move for immigration
now going on III this state, it becomes
necessary for every locally which
hopes to enjoy the fruits OF the low
rates offered by railroads, and HE
facility for disseminating information
offered by the state bureau, to adver-
tise its advantages. Waco has so far
done nothing, the few thousand cop
pies OF the Days special edition,
which the committee purchased, was
but drop in the bucket. Either one
OF the railroads centering here, the
state bureau, the county bureau, or
the local land agents, could either
nave placed the entire number, but
they had to be divided between all.
The onus for raising the money by
subscriptions to pay for these papers
was thrown upon the committee and
