And yet he was no ignoramus,
For he had passed by P. II. Roise & Go. 8 store
And there he Witnessed goods galore.
So boldly he announced to all
That he would quick at Roise's call
Aud buy whatever he desired, -. -.

Some Extracts from its Pages, full Of

The distinction Of being the "livest'
real estate hustler who ever tackled
the job in Brazos county, has perhaps
long ago been conferred upon Mr.. NJ.
l.. Edge. Mr.. Edge devotos his
whole time and thought to this bust
ness alone, lays his plans upon broad
and far-reaching lines, and his work
cannot but be benefit to the county

DO klet, about 600 copies of which
he will scatter abroad Ia other states,
In sections s,ltctad with the view Of
reaching the people We want. In

from it's merits, deserves 10 be made

of our crops annually. The taxable
value on all lands In Brnzos county
does not exceed - 10000. and there
Is not more than twenty-five per

What Coz. LaFOllette Said.


He who argues that those who
have so long escaped paying their
taxes should be allowed to continue
20 doing is unjust to the thousands Of
holders of mortgages who do pay lie
is unjust to the tens of thousands Of
other taxpayers who have no mort.
cages, but who do own stores and
factories, and shops and farms and
homes and must pay on what they
own, and, in addition, just 80 much
more because these millions OF fat
interest bearing mortgages and other
securities hide from the assessor. lie
il furnishing the railroad and other
public service corporations with a
further excuse for putting of stu
longer the payment Of what they owe.
The logic Of such an argument is as

"harebraned" to make the mortgage
owner to pay who has heretofore es-
capped upon the ground that the law
as to him has become "obs0lete"--
then the railroads will say that 1t is
unjust to apply to them the principle
of equal taxation which as to them
has been imperative long enough to
be called "obsolete" What a happy
day for law vjoIaters in general when
they may invoke the precedent OF
their own wrougdoiug as n product
ion for continued violation OF the law
on the score that they and a lot OF
other fellows have beaten the lay,
until they may boldly declare that it ID
