The citizens of this town o. some
5000 people lost $4,000 BY the
failure of the bank OF Commerce Of
Nashville, Tenn. As soon as We were
told Of this we laid: Good for

know well-all know personally yet
these men who have made that money
right in this town ana right out OF
these people, actually rob this town
out of $4,000 by sending 1t away to
Nashville to be used there. Such
men out to lose their money! They
are both thieves and traitors to their
own town! Again McMinnville is
finely situated for manufacturing most
everything-factores here; few are
doing well, yet these men rob the
town by sending $4,000 away to
Nashville! When that money invest,

owners we'll Yes, am glad such
men loose their money; 1t does them
good We have few such rascals
in Waco. know of few men who
have their money on deposit outside
of Waco, and even out side of Texas!
Such men made that money in Waco
and are robbing Waco!
Waco banks and Waco bankers are
as solid and honest as any banks or
bankers. DO we not know them per

FACTORIES and FARMING
The day ought to and will come to
these men who rob their own people
by their failing to do what is their
plain duty! There are men in Waco

them
AGAIN WE KICK.
There are those in Waco who send
away for printing, for advertising, for
iron and wood work, for dry goods,
for tailor made clothes, both male and
fema'e-aor jewelry, carpets and fur
niture! All these are traitors to
their own town; robblng their own
people. They don't get such things
any cheaper, but simply buy them
from people they don't know, and
believe any lie these unknown people
tell them. That is just how these
fellows lost their $50, O06; and is the
way Waco looses money every year,
by fool people who think themselves
Smart
The Waco Trading Co is for Waco
first, last and all the time. A barber
should not shave me who did not buy
his leather razor strap from a Waco
man-if he could. j. w RlGGINs.

Whose fault is it that Waco does
not get the same advertising othe,
smaller towns get?
Mr. EDlToR:-After that rain last

this state 'the rain fall in Texas.'

Why are things thusly?
