Six carloads Of broom corn have been
shipped to ST. Louis from Terrell. II brought
500 per ton. and there were eight tons to
each car.-Brenham Press.
An experienced grower said in The Post
few days ago that the soil OF the Texas coast

ever seen. including Illinois word to
the wise in this case should be sufficient.

More Northern cotton mills have shut down
but the spindles are still humming in Georgia
and the Carolinas, and they will hum con.

Undoubtedly. And. simply because the mill
At Galveston has shut down, the people OF
the State should not be discouraged, but
should, rather, see to It in building their
mills that certain conditions which, perhaps

know tho truth as 10 the situation in tho
Philippines while It does wish the Fillpinos
to hear every false story which would tend
to discredit the democratic party.
