BRYAN Is N NEED
OF q Vigorous and Systematic Adyeriis.
ing Campaign.

The busy season is almost upon
US when cash trade seeks a market
TO make heavy fall and winter pur.
chases, and the business men OF
Bryan are in need, individually
and collectively, Of some vigorous,
systematic advertising. A few
years ago no town IN Texas was
better advertised than Bryan. and
by this enterprise there was bui /
up magnificent patronage in
Brazos and surrounding counties
for all lines Of business conducted
here. In order TO hold this bust.
ness it will be necessary TO employ
the same methods which secured
it. During the past few years the
advertising patronage of the weekly
papers has fallen off heavily, and
mage price list ads, with thousands
of circulars printed tberefrom aud
scattered broadcast over the country
are almost a thing Of the past.
As a trade winner this sort Of ad.
vertising has no equal, and the ex-
perience Of our business men, IL
they will weigh the matter care
fully, will bear out the statement.
To leave off this weekly advertising
is TO cut the strongest cord that
draws the trade 10 our doors. Right
prices carefully prepared and at
tractively displayed will do the
work when sent out 10 the people
and it is a mistake to say that the
people who want goods and have
money to spend will throw such a
newspaper or circular down.
Things can still rock along at
at the present rate after a fashion,
but if Bryan wants 10 hold her
own, much less to increase her
business, there will have 20 be
more printers ink used, and that
without delay. The floods and the
boil weevils make the necessity all
the greater for reaching out
TO cover more territory.
The Eagle does not desire a re.
vival of the old time enthusiasm
in advertising wholly from personal
II we know our motives,
the interest of the people Of Bryan /
has always been one OF the strong
est incentives 10 our work. We

and gets his living here. We know |

and the whole city reaps the har.

ment at the hands Of the people OF
Bryan, but we know that to have
the weekly pepper going out week
after week with columns almost
clear of advertising will gradually
give the impression to the people
that the business interests Of town
are shriveling up and they will
seek the cities where they are con.
tinually invited by fresh, Grip read

Chicks Need Grit.

The chicks will be benefited by hav-
ing some kind of gritty H. terial mixed
with their first feed. Coarse sand or
egg shells dried and run through the
coffee mill is probably as good as any
thing for this purpose The supply
houses keep in stock what is known
as "chick grit" but we do not believe
that it is any better than what has
been above suggested. Next to the raw
ages of lice, bowel troubles lead to
the heaviest loss of chicks, and the
grit tends in great degree to prevent
such troubles If chick is killed at
the end of the first day that ii has run

to contain a considerable quantity of
sand and fine gravel, and If the wealth
err is such that the hen can be turned
loose the day following that on which
the brood is taken from the nest. and

er will generally be safe In relieving
himself of any concern regarding their
health The hen sees to 1t that the
chicks get something which is not
usually thought of by the owner. and
that is grit.-Drovers' Journal.

"All the time she was doing it the
girl thought she heard a faint, moan

went back to the rest pale and trem-

known in the house that that little
closet there was not only locked. but
nailed up.
After that my Lord seemed to take
to his wild ways again in a measure
and drank a great deal. and my Lady
lived much alone. There never were
any children; but they both lived to be
old indeed, and at last my Lady died
in this room and was buried in the
church yonder.
my Lord was as old as she by that
time. but as soon as the funeral was
over he went into my Lady's room and

Then he said TO himself: 4 cannot

one day in later life, while his students
were waiting for their lecture at the
hospital, a gentleman knocked at the
door of the professors private room
and stated that he was not feeling
well and wished to consult the savant.
Professor Virschow examined the man
carefully, and then said:
why. my good friend. you have no
business to be alive at all! You are
suffering from three complaints, each
one of which has long since arrived at
a stage which ought to have caused
your death. This is most interesting
case; it shows that one must not al
ways believe in theory"
The patient began to feel uncomfort-
able, but Professor Virchow, In his
professional enthusiasm, did not notice
either the effect of his words or the
comical side of the situation. He add
ed: Would you mind stepping into
the next room? should like to show
you to some gentlemen who are there"
With ill-concealed nervousness the
patient followed til : professor into the
lecture-room, where he was introduced
as an interesting case, and was obliged
to remain while the professor described
the nature of the three diseases and
the progress they had made. On hear
ing again that he was practically a
dead man the patient felt a strong de-
sire to get home, and left at once.
Just what part in his recovery was
played by increased care and home
remedies is not known, but the man
is still alive. When Professor Vir-
chew celebrated his S0th birthday, the
man who ought to have been dead
years ago was among those who sent
their congratulations.

Flowing Under Green Crops.
That there is merit in green manur-
ing, adding humus to the soil. no one
will deny who has tried 1t on aaoder-
ately heavy soils, but that it should be
generally practiced without regard to
soil or local conditions is not 2 correct

green manuring are leguminous in

greatest quantity of nitrogen from the
air when they have reached maturity,
and, in most sections. the hay o. clover,
cowpeaS and velvet bean has value
too great to warrant one in using 1t as

the case on light. rather sandy soil,
where the green manurng is OF the
least use. Under the conditions refer

be TO let the crop mature and feed it
for roughage, using the manure on the
farm; in this way one has all the adj
