The Tyler Democrat Reporter says:
The Houston Post thinks a great deal OF Its
bayou; and II would be a right good old creek
II once the legs and sna9s could be gotten
out OF II. and more and better water put
into II.
The bayou is all right. There are no legs
or snags to be removed. All needed is a
wider and deeper channel and that is an as
srred fact. Last year si4,5oo,ooo in commerce
loated over the placid stream. When deep
water Is secured freight rates to Tyler Will
be much lower than at present and the farm
ers of the Northwest will be benefited millions
Of dollars in the moving Of their products
to senboard.
Tho Sherman Democrat remarks that:
Mckinney is building meat packcry. too.
There will be many of them In Texas and
there's room.
The packery in Houston has been success
from the start. The management will take
pleasure In giving pointers to all Texas cities
who wish to establish packing houses. Al
ready the Houston house has caused farmers
to raise more hogs. which they and ready
sale for at top prices for spot cash.

Every community in the South Is on the

watching the Atlantic coast towns where Ian
Federal quarantine laws psevail. but are
cleaning up ard putting their houses in good
order.
There Is a whole lot OF truth in the follow

In Houston there are several millions OF
