NOW REAPlHe THE BENEFITS
Waxahachie rs Seen by . Visi.
tor from HillsbOrO.
From Hillsboro Mirror.

From Hillsboro Mirror.
1t was the privilege Of a Mirror
man to spend Tuesday in the beau
tiful and enterprising city of Waxa-
hachie. He found the city enjoying
quite a good trade, considering this
duh season. Already the town is
reaping of the benefits of her enter
prise in securing the Trinity Uni
versity as families are beginning to
move there to get the advantage of
! the school, and building boom is
/ on. WaXahachie is a city of beau
titul homes and progressive peo-
! pie. Hillsboro has contributed
more than her share of enterprising
as well as good looking people to
/ the population of that city, and we
rejoice at their evident prosperity.
1t was our good fortune to meet u
number of them. Mr.. Fletcher
Norton Is in a wholesale grocery
there and is doing a nice business.
and 1t was quite pleasure to meet
hlm. Aaron TiIpett, formerly of
TriPpett Bros. here, is conducting a
big Racket Goods store and is doing
a very satisfactory business. 1t
was also pleasure to shake hands
with that atfable gentleman, b.
Heyer, formerly Of this place, but
now with the Ross Jewelry Co.
there. He is delighted with that
place and her people and says his
business is good. His firm recently
sold the university ten pianos,
which is a pretty good sale. Mr..
and Mrs. T. f. Hudson gave us a
very hearty greeting and an urgent
invitation to prolong the visit. Mrs.
Hudson nee Miss Jewel Brooks
is as happy as bride is supposed
to be and prettier than most of them
are. Rev. c. r. Wright, who is
now conducting a meeting at Mil
ford, came on the same train with
us Tuesday evening. He sends his
regards to the Hillsboro people, for
while he likes Waxahachie aud has
a splendid church there, it is not a
case with him of "otf with the old
love and on with the new" for he
just takes in the new and keeps the
old Master Wilbur and his pretty
pony We're at the depot to bid as all
goodbye Prof. Jack Lumpkins,
who taught i'm Patterson Institute
here, j. now practicing law and as
p IN t as ever. The bride
and groom, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Whitmire, are the latest addi-
tious to Waxahachie Hillsboro has
made, and in giving up these young
people we are tempted to say to our
sister city this thing has got to
stop right now" He is working for
the Ross Jewelry Co. and making a
good salesman. Last, but not least,
of our former citizens we met was
Mr.. T. H. Wear, manager of the Re-
Hector here when that paper was sold
ana then assistant county superin-
tendent. He runs Wears New Cen
try store on the east side of the
square, handling a better grade of
racket goods and gives every evil
dence of a growing business. He
and his charming wife are happily
domiciled in a pleasant cottage on
Main street and their son, Inc, now
nearly two, is a small chip off the
large old block. The only regret we
had was that we failed to get to see
Floyd Burkhalter, from whom how
ever, we heard the best reports and

especially among leaders in great af-
fairs, there Is no fear OF coming
crash, for they know that the conditions
which facilitated the rapid alteration of
prosperity and panic in past times have
ceased to exist and can not be resur-
rected except through years of famine
or succession of practically impos-
sible follles
That each and all of the Industries
and material interests will be equally
and increasingly prosperous, no sane
person expects. There must occasional
ly be reflex waves. Events in other
parts of the world have much TO do
with our affairs, and it were folly to
expect that influence to be uniformly
favorable.
But IL is a fact that we are the
solldest of all the nations, not only in
the extent of variety of our natural
resources, but in opportunity and cap
acity for their development and
utilization,

Recent experience in this city with the

that will ever abate the nuisance of

a certain element exists, and in the
