a most excellent business chance slip
through her grasp, and all for the want of
a paltry $4,000. The cattlemen of the
state are anxious to locate at Galveston a
cold storage warehouse" from which
frozsn beef can be shipped to Europe.
But incident to this purpose they make a
condition precedent that Galveston raise
$4,000 to help on the project. Much
larger figures than these were at first dis
cussed, bat the minimum has been sim
mered down to this small amount. OF
this only $4,000 has after considerable
effort been raised; bat the Galveston
soliciting committee has been given until
tomorrow to produce $4,000 more. If
the whole am punt is not then forthcoming
Galveston will lose the warehouse, which
will 90 to New Orleans. Even the famous
wherf company of our island city has
made some concessions as an inducement
for every one to pull together to win this
plant, and now it would be shameful if the
citizens of that rich place do not subscribe
the bagatelle required of them.

Matters and Things at One of the Thriving
Towns of Texas.
Special to the Statesman.
GEORGETOWN, May 18.-The heavy rains
that fell last night were a boon to the
farmers. Cotton will grow faster and corn
has received an impetus that will carry it
through to a sure harvest.
A company composed of Texas and
Georgia men has purchased the old bat
cave near Georgetown and are sacking
the gusno for shipment to Georgia. Der
ricks have been erected over the cave for
raising the sacks. We are informed ty
one of the company that they estimate
the quantity of guano at about 200 tons.
The railroad stock pens are
about finished aud Georgetown will,
hereafter, be the shipping point for stock
that would otherwise have to be driven to
| Taylor.
Contracts are let for three or four stone
business houses to be erected on the east
side of the court house square, to replace
the frame buildings destroyed by fire last
Monday night.
Mr.. Gus Booty is erecting nice resi-
dence on University avenue. Whittle &
Harrel have the contract and are pushing
the work with their usual earnestness.
Whittle & Harrtl are adding large
wsreroom to their lumber yardprop-
erty.
Mr.. Will Leake, representing Waco
marble works house, is again among his
friends IN Georgetown. He is daily ex-
pectipg a carload of iron fencing for the
court house yard.
Work on our streets and sidewalks is
rapidly progressing under the supervi-
sion of exMsyor Strange. In quality, if
not in extent, our business streets and
sidewalks will soon compare favorably
