THE FAULT-F|EDtR,

There are great many people in this
world who seem to take unspeakable
pleasure in meddling with other peoples
affairs They talk about them and make
suggestions as to their improper conduct
and actions and otherwise interest them
selves in affairs where they are neither
wanted nor welcome. Austin's crop of
these wiseacres and fault finders is some
thing immense, and if any city in the
State falls short in their supply of this
| kind of material | want to guarantee to
| them that Austin can supply their de-
| mands. Last week | noticed that GER
| tain parties engaged themselves in pull
ing to pieces the characters of others.
This picking process was resultant not
so much through any desire to help the
party in question as to tear down and
shatter his character and good name.
The able fault-inders claimed to be
Christians and upright people, but their
very actions beled their assertions.
Friendly advice in the hour of back
Siding is always appreciated even though
it may at times wound, but spiteful and
malicious criticism from Anticipated and
disgruntled fault-fnders is never well
come by any one.

Austin has a peculiar set of people max

me that he had made arrangements for
tickets for over 300 people who intended +
leaving Austin this summer and go East |
for several months. In looking over the |
list | saw many names that set me to
thinking. Some of them were men who
stay in Austin nine months in the year
and drain every financial channel that
they can possibly get their syphon in. |
When the time comes for them to spend !
a little money they HE themselves to !
other climes and there distribute that
which they have sucked out of Austin. /
