Good and Bad Examples as Cities
Warning to Waco.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. ., 1875

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, sept D, 1880
Editor NEWS:
Since leaving Waco, now nearly
two months ago, have been IN eighl
states, visited several towns and cities
and have noted the evidences OF pro
gress and adversely, and visited the
commercial clubs and boards OF trade
II have found great depression or
great activity, have asked this ques-
ton; 80 what do you attribute your
local poor business and bad monetary
condition?'
In Nashville the statement was
made. 1--WE had thirteen banks, only
three now open for business-only
small banks, at that What! ten
banks closed? Please explain why
such local distress? The answer came
from the best authority. Our banks
never had any CLEARING HOUSE.
Every FELLOW FOR HIMSELF, has
been our policy No mutual HELPS
or mutual PROTECTION; no UNITED
EFFORT This brlt fly told the tale.
Our observation was that Nashville,
for city of $4,000 to 5000 people,
was the deadcst place we ever saw.
Went into several stores and asked:
"How is trade" Trade? bust
ness? Simply nothing"
Louisville, Ky, is not so bad, but
owes itscondition to its want of CO
HEsIvENEss in the point of its banks
and business men. What solemn
warning to any city or set of business
men who feel that they can hands off
and stand alone. Does Waco Get
the idea
This city, Indianapolis, is the
model city. Her cleaned, we'll paved
streets; her magnificent public build
lngs, her united business men. They
own fine ouilding-"The CONNER
cial Club Building, and have large
we'll attended CLUB, raised 1850 600 to
entertain the G.. A. R. "UNlTED WE
STAND" Yos, and this city today is
growing RAPIDLY, and is full of united
pUsH and GET THERE. Her board of
public works is composed Of the best
men in the city, who serve the city
without pay, and DO BUSINESS IN 8
BUSINESS way. Contrast this plucky
city with the two first named, and you
find exemplifed, limited WE stand;
DIVIDED WE fall"
Chicago! What gave her the
Worlds Fair, with the hundreds of
millions spent by the people, and the
millions in value advertising the city
all over the world? What secured
the Worlds Fair? What made it a
city four times the size of old fogy,
sleepy St. Louis, when in my memory
St. Louis was larger than Chicago by
double. The answer is plain, UNITED
PUSH. We have as much or more to
make Waco a city of 1000 or 100
600, people in few years than any
small city in the world, AND IT CAN
BE DONE IF WACO BUSINESS MEN WILL
UNITEDLY PULL FOR WACO.
In all my rounds, everybody who
knows anything of Waco has only
good words; BUT TOO FEW PEOPLE
know OF Waco and her splendid
water and country. Let any man take
the rounds with me through these
cities named, and the solemn fact will
appear as stated. We must not be
content with schools, churches, and
fine water. We need men with
money and brains and "get up''-men
with "sNAr,' and who ere not afraid
to moye out, and to MOVE ON. The

came apparent that the traditional

for uninterrupted slumber. A clear
skv from which the myriad orbs OF
the universe cleaned was overhead,
but neither boreal gales nor southern
2ephyrs came along to fan away the
blood heat whichwas rendering man and
beast uncomfortable. Grown people
sighed and drank water almost in
cessantly, and others crept from their
beds and sought windows, in hopes that
something in the way OF relief could
be encountered. Some, more desper-
ate, repaired to porches and doorsteps
and made no attempt to sleep. In the
meantime the tantalizing hum of mos
auitoes precipitated q combat which
was terminated by the advent of day
About one o'clock the heavens grew
