Less than 100000 has been contributed
to Il property loss OF at least $50, 600 600, and
all the funds in hand will be consumed in
immediate and temporary relief But that
does not scourage Galveston and South
Texas. We start over-that is all. Oppor'
tunltes here are larger than ever and earn
inEs will DO increased in proportion. As
soon as tho wreCkage is cleared away there
Will be plenty of money for investment, and
can work for it. which Is better than
charity.-Galyeston Tribune.
This is truly noble and commendable
spirit and 1t shows how anxious Calves
ton people are to do what they can toward
rehab.litat.ng the city without outside help.
But. simply because Galveston possesses this
feeling OF independence, the people OF the
country should not relax their charitable
efforts. Much assistance Is still needed and
1t should be forthcoming.

them real pleasure to pay what they owe.
Nearly all of Hunt countys farmers are in
better condition financially than they have
been for years. Tho splendid wheat and
oat crops with the good price they brought
put many men out Of debt and they have
tholr cotton crop in cash, These conditions
make all business interests lively.-Groen-
Vile Banner.
Tho conditions described by the Banner
as existing in Hunt county are to be met
with all over Texas. with the exception, OF
course, of these sections which were so Sc
rlously damaged by tho recent storm. But
even there the farmers are not giving up and
are not going to give up. although the hand
OF adversely has been laid heavily upon
them. They are working hard to restore
= normal conditions and no one who knows the
Texas farmer doubts that they will succeed.

Besides the pressing want at Galveston the
minor losses seem insignificant and no OUT
