ANOTHER FAKE.
Vindicator-News.

Vindlcator-News.
In the absence of local news this
week, We will take occasion to lee
ture some of our good citizens.
We will start off by saying that
the town of Crowley started up in
q country too poor to raise cattle.
Now it is one of the most business
like towns in the State. Why?
Simply because it has several fac
tories or mills in which a number
of people are employed.
Wage earners is a class that
make a town prosperous; they
spend their money with the mer-
chants, butchers, ETC., but the rich
spend their money in New Or
leans and in other States. The
way to build up the wage earning
class is to open something or some
enterprise to employ the laborers.
A canning factory would add
something TO the daily business of
the merchants; q foundry would
do the same thing. Everybody
admits that either or both of these
enterprise would pay, but they are
waiting for some enterprising YAM
keelto come in and reap the bene-
fits of the business. If it were not
for the Yankees and Westerners
who come here. Louisiana would
be using horse mills and blowing
with oxen. Nearly any one will
admit this, yet, whenever q news
paper says 80, it loses two or three
subscribers. a little job work, and
the editor is cut dead on the street,
in church or at the stock exchange.
This often happens. The editor
has been run to earth and that
fool Vindicator has been torn to
shreds by some of our borrowing
Subscribers in their mad frenzy.
We never kick for fear these inju-
red individuals might be overcome
with vanity at being noticed by a
prominent citizen.
We are willing now to forgive
them all if they will build a cou-
pie of factories and pay for their
last years's subscription.

A Chance to Sell Texas lands

The Sunset Central Lines, in
pushing the agricultural and farm
ing interests of the state to the
fore, have inaugurated several in
novations in order to reach the de-
sired end. Realizing that it would
be useless to bring settlers into
the state unless lands could be So
cured at reasonable figures, the
Immigration Department of the
Sunset Central Lines, under I'm
migration Agent, John Howard,
has issued circular calling upon
oil persons having land for sale to
forward to headquarters at Hous-
ton a list of the lands with de-
scription of location and improve
ments. The circular, which is
signed BY Passenger Traffic Man.
ager s. F. B. Moste, and Immi-
grafton Agent John Howard, sets
forth that lands without perfect
title are not wanted also that CON-
missions are not received on sale
OF lands; and it Furthermore sug-
gests that prices quoted be sdh er-
ed to for a reasonable length of
time. The object Of this move of
the Sunset Central Lines is to
bring the land seller in touch with
people desiring to locate in Texas,
and il but another lever which
will work to the upbuilding of this
great State.
1t is urgently desired that all
persons having land for sale COM
municste at once with Immigra-
ton Agent John Howard, at
Houston, Texas. =

Tomorrow's Election-James Stuart
Council Attends Church-Persona
News.

Much interest is being taken in TO.
morrOw's election, especially in the
fight for tax collector. for which there
are three aspirants. William Seymour,
ST., John Avery and Jumes Sharkey,
sr. Had Mr. Avery, the independent
candidate, remained out of the field,
1t would be an easy matter to predict
the result, but the Republican party
is split up over the two candidates and
the result is somewhat difiicult to fore
cast. George F.dmunds, the Demo-
cratic candidate for councilman in the
First ward, is working strenuously to
retain his seat. but Mr. Rawling, the
Republican nominee, who opposes him,
is wide awake young man. and his
popularity in the ward should insure
his success. Perhaps the fight in the
Third ward will be the keenest. There
the two factions are about evenly di-
vided and both sides are working hard
and both equally confident. Neither
of the two candidates for burgess,
George Rendered, ST., and DR.. 5. d.
Davis, appear to be eXerting them
selves very much and seem satisfied
to abide the decision Of the voters.
While the doctor will undoubtedly
draw Il number of votes from his Re-
publican friends, it is equally certain
that Mr.. FenGered will receive good
share of Democratic votes on account
| of his popularity with the men of that
party.
