No OTHER WITH SUCH A PAPER


Houston Post: A good town or city will
always have a good paper, vide Fort
Worth and THE GAZETTE. THE GA
ZETTE is good paper because its horne
people, those mostly interested in its
success, hold it up and encourage it in
stead of running it down and antagoniz-
ing and discouraging 1t. Fort Worth has
population of about % 600 people, and
there is not another city in the United
States with the same population with
such a paper. There is reason for this
1t is found in the fact that Fort Worth
people believe in Fort Worth institutions
They are proud of THE GAZETTE as one
of these institutions, and take good care
to let the world generally know it. They
talk for it, patronize it; they encourage
the editors and publishers to work and
give evidence of hearty appreciation of
such work. And the people of Fort
Worth are wise in this. THE GAZETTE is
a fine investment for them. 1t pays
them to stick up to it.

it. 1t was at a little store there, about

They were Seminole niggers. They had
five horses, pretty good ones too. They

tumbled out of the saddle just as we
