TWO STREAKS OF RUST.
A RIGHT OF WAY AND !
CHARTER.
The GIObe-Democrat and the "Katy"-The
Old Soldiers Reunion and the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande.

For the Gazette.
The Globe-Democrat of ST Louis and the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway are
both doing good work for Texas these days.
The people of Texas will no doubt appre-
ciate the good work of both and favor,
patronize and encourage them in this good
work for the state.
With the Globe to educate the people
of the old states on the Texas of to-day. and
what we have here for the home-seeker,
manufacturer and capitalist, and the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railway to bring
the people to the state, we can reasonably
expect 4 good tide of immigration and capt.
tai this fall and winter.
WHAT'S the matter with TIE Republic of
st. Hpuis and the Missouri Pacific railway
and &ther Texas lines If they could not
lead d in the work for Texas, they can at
least pillow, there is no string tied to
them.nA
Turn use, gentlemens Texas is fine
large sub ct to worlsfon, and there is
money in itXpr you.
fail to remeniS er that NE grand reunion of
x-Confederat4s soldiers, and the big land
sale of the DubAp And and Improvement
company takes Race at Dublin, TeX., in
the the, county of Eraa on August s. e and =
We are going to- hSke a jolly good time
down there, and would be pleased to have
the press of ST. louis md Texas well rep
resented. The Enan wiSb the hoe will be
there by the thousands. The old soldiers,
TOO, regardlesstof when orYhich side they
happened to be on during the ''late unpleas-
antness," generals and high privates of
both sides, VII mix and miagle together,
and have a good time generallN
YeS, the politician will alsosbe lin it, -
likewise the business man and Scapitalist.
We are going to have mixed crowd and
that's what it takes to have a good time,
and the good people of Dublin and Erath
county will provide ample accommodations
for all who come, and you can count on the
Rio Grande railway company doing their
part in the way of giving good train
service.
This reminds me that it is in order to con-
graduate the good people of Brown county,
and especially the business men of Brown
wood and the Brownwood country. on the
completion of the Rio Grande railway to
the capital of Brown county. They now
have a sure-enough railroad, and are no
longer dependent on two 'streaks OF rust'
with Il right of way and a charter, mis-
called by some railroad. The road re-
ferred to Is known as the San Angelo
branch of the~Santa Fe railway-its a sure
enough daisy" l will take the liberty o.
suggesting to our honorable railroad COM
mission that they-as soon as convenient
'.shoot" that charter. This done, the
'sstreaks of rust' and right of way will
soon disappear, and the place they now oc-
cupy will be put to better use.
Again, dear reader, permit me to impress
on your mind the importance OF keeping in
mind the date Of he Dublin Reunion and
Public Auction Sale of Farm Lands. etc
Speaking of the old soldiers, the boys
who We're lin it, from 1861 to 1865 are not
fighting now; it's the fellows" who
wasn't there that don't know the war is
over. Yours truly, JOHN HOWARD,
or and For Texas.
