Brownsville needs several things to
make the town attractive before we
can expect that rush Of Immigration

willie, with its terminus in the hrusl,
near the cemetery. This would give
US access to the rural districts. Just
think what pleasure IL would be 10
go ont there In the cool of the evening
and listen to the dulcet notes of the
Irish moeking bird.
We also need an obserVatorz. Memo
Is having n dickens of "A time to catch
on to ull that transpires, and there are
some things continually escaping our
notice. If we had an observatory so
that we could watch the movements
of the heavenly bodies. and, what is Of
more Importance, the movements of
earthly bodies up 10 O'Clock In the
morning, we could discover who thar
fiend is that props our gate open every
night and allows certain brown cow
TO spend the night ringing dod -gasted
measly bell In our woodshed. There
Is going 10 be circus In that wood
shed one of these nights, and IL won't
cost the spectators cent The Me-
Kanlass reseTved-seat racket will be
left out.
We also need the Louisiana lottery,
and we ought 10 have Jack the Ripper
to cut the thisties down.

Our city conncil could get a couple of

least half dozen Egyptian rnummies
The mummies we have Mt present are
no good, and If this town expects to
run miilion-dollar boom with six-bit
mummies they are going TO get left.
When town goes in for munmies II

business.
We also need some China pagodas
scattered around through town To give
the place sort of an Oriental air. Our
Building and Loan Association could
attend TO that, and Wash House Jim
could furnish the plans.
With large brewery and good
system of electric execution added to
the foregoing list of attractions, this
town would bristle up in six months
like a four-hlatled iaek-knife.
Our nre department Is all that could
be desired. Our three large fire en-
gines, with their shining brass work.

the red shirts of the firemen, Is thing
of beauty and q joy forever. The only
thing lacking is q trumpet for the fore

which we could hang butterfly neck

nent that could not happen again.
The ventilation of our sidewalks is
another attraction of which we all feel
proud, especially in the neighborhood
of Dog Town. Pure air is Gods best
gift 10 man, and the present condition
OF some sf the sidewalks is calculated
TO secure that blessing in very thor

places where IL Is necessary to get
