western edge of the city, which can
be rented cheaply, near the fertile |
truck gardens, and $500 will equip
a factory with capacity of 5000
3-lb cans per day. Think of it.
Live Oak Herald:
At "church hugging bee" in
Alabama the other evening, a man,
while blindfOlded, Rugged his own
wife for several minutes, aud when
he learned the fact, got mad and
demanded his money back. This
made his wife mad and she de-
manded double rates for her part
in the transaction.
Waco Day-Globe:
The visiting committees of this
legislature have not been white
washing as rule this session. The
one which went to the a. d NJ. col
lege ripped that institution all up
the back in its report, and the land
office committee and the committee
to look into the expenditures of the
state geolOgist fired whole broad
sides into each of the institutions
which they went to "viSi."
Sherman Register:
Scientists have discovered that
the memory is stronger in summer
than in winter. Among the worst
foes of the memory are too much
physical exercise, and strangely
enough, too much education.
Jacksonville Banner:
The farmers around Nacogdoches
and Greenville refused to take "a
hand" in the State Cotton Acreage
convention, but unless a reduction
in the acreage is made, they are
dead sure to have "bOth hands" in
it when it comes to marketing the
crop at and cents per pound.
The Port Levacaen:
The cOncenSuS of opinion in Port
LaVaca is that the man appointed
postmaster should have the APP
prOVal of the patrons of the office.
1t is largely a business matter and
when the change takes place
through party channels it is to be
hoped that our able representative,
the Hon. w. II. Grain, will first
consider the public veal. He can
be depended upon to do this.
Two Republics:
For three days at the beginning
of this month New York state was
without an official head. The
Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
President protempore Of the Senate
and the Senate and the Speaker of
the Assembly were in Washington
attending the Inauguration. This
is said to have been the first time
in more than 100 years that the
state had been left with no one
who could act as governor in case
Of an emergency.
Denison Herald:
New EOrk's legislature is con-
sidered local option bill allowing
people of the city to settle the
question of opening saloons on
Sunday. SO far as New York City
is concerned the saloons are open
on Sunday as it is, only not legally
so. If public sentiment cannot be
made to conform to the law it is
wise to make the law conform to
public sentiment.
Galveston Tribune:
GalvestOn's amended charter
threatens to keel over from lOp-
sidedneSS. 1t is accused of being
warped on one side, bulged out OH
the other, too low by the head and
too high at the stern. 1t might
be well to pump it out and run it
ashore to dry before presenting it to
the legislature. However, Alder
man Harris is an experienced naVi-
gator and ought to be able to steer
the amended concern through the
zig-zag channel of legislation if
anyone can.
Dallas Herald.
The News correspondent at
Washington wires that Congress
man Abbott left yesterday after
noon for home, and had decided
before leaving to recommend Mr..
Hill for the Dallas postOf1ice.
Judge Abbott stated to a num-
Der of gentlemen that he would
visit Dallas before determining
this recommendation, and other
statements from the judge himself
are in conflict with reports in cir
culation here about his choice
having been expressed for post
master. There are many who
think the judge himself ought to
know.
