Correspondence OF the Gazette.
MENARDvILLE, Ten, Feb. 15.-Com-
missioners court has been in session all
week and has transacted a great deal
of business. The court placed the
county in school districts and ordered an
election to see whether a school tax
should be levied or not. Most of our cit
liens favor the tax. 1t also divided the
county INTO road districts and appointed
overseers for the same.
We are having real spring weather al
present, and gardening is the order of
the day.
One of our prominent young men, Mr..
T. A. Gay, Jr., was married to Miss
Carrie Nixon OF Ballinger, Tex. on the
18th. They returned home last evening
and the young people of the town gave
them a complimentary hop.

BLAINE AND crR4

The proposal by Mr.. Blaine to pur-
chase Cuba from Spain and annex it to
the United States is received with general
favor by the American press. 1t is
significant that those admmistra-
lions are regarded as the most
notable which have added to
our territorial Importance. Mr.. Blaine
will be our next secretary of state, and it
is well known that he desires to connect
his name with some important event in
American history. 1t is very probable
that negotiations win be opened by the
Harrison administration at an early
period for the acquisition of Cuba, and in
view of the virtual bankruptcy of the
Spanish government, it is not unlikely
that they viii meet with success.

western Texas feels that she has 8
grievance in all unfriendly railroad leg
isIation; or at least in such legislation as
retards the building of new roads The
public domain of twO-thirCs of the state
was given as a bonus to construct and
operate roads in the other one third.
Inspired by this enormous gift OF
more than 1900 900 acres, companies
came in and stretched great-trunk lines
from north TO south and east TO west
throughout the eastern third of the state,
which have been supplemented with
necessary lateral branches and connect
ing links till that section is now literally
gridironed There is no more land 70
give. and this vast empire of territory
denominated West Texas, comprising not
less than $50 900 square miles and
population of more than 600 900, is
RENTED to cold capital for relief, and
to the friendly interest Of foreign adj
venture for development. Under these
circumstances it would seem just to this
section to encourage the Introduction of
capital and foster railroad construction
by friendly legislation and a policy Of
protection. This is ali that we ask of
the legislature-to hands of and give Us
a chance, and we think we are entitled
to that much consideration.

THE bin to teach in the public schools
system is being pushed in the state SEN
ate. It was up in the Twentieth legisla-
ture and received a death blow by the
adoption of an amendment providing
that the effect of peas and beans upon
the system should also be a matter of in
quiry. Another amendment that might
be timely, so far as relates to towns that
depend upon the Trinity river for drink
ing water, would be the result of mud
and water upon the public health.

A woAiAN,s LOGIC.


! did not love him; long ago
Instead of Yes gave him mo, -
did not love him. But to-day
l read his marriage notice-pray,
Why was I sad, when never yet
Has my heart known the least regret
Over that whispered "'No, - and why,
Reading the notice, should 1 sigh?
No analyst can guess the cause;
A woman reason laughs at laws.
Sure 1 am glad to know the wound
1 gave is healed; that he has found
Loves blessedness and peace-and yet
A woman never can forget
The man who once has loved her, and
To-day / seem TO see him stand
With every glance a mute caress,
Still pleading for the longed for Yes. -
His early love for me is dead,
Another lives in that loves stead;
And if he loves her well as men
Should love their chosen ones, why, then
He must be glad that long ago
Instead of yes gave him mo
Perhaps that is the reason why
I read the notice with sigh.

The Way 1t Comes.
Gainesville Hesr eriau.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE says; ''Near-
ly half million of good New York, Bos-
ton, Indiana and Colorado money have
been put into Fort Worth real estate
within the past two weeks. Trunk lines
will win. - That s the way it goes. In
duce the investment of little outside
capital in manufacturing industries in a
town and that induces more. When q
man of capital invests in property in a
city that requires his personal atten-
ton he becomes interested in the growth
and prosperity of that town or city and
works for it. Thus it is that one enter-
prise begets others and starts the boom.

A WHOLESOME truth that legislators
should always keep near to their hearts is
that after every conceivable measure of
relief has been adopted it will still require
dollar 5 worth of work to produce
dollar. Legislation may cause men who
own dollar to hug it all the tighter, but
it can never take a dollar out of one
man pocket and put it into another's.
The point in this remark is in the appli-
cation of IL
