Hard Times

The old story of the man who
was put to bed q sick man by the
jokes of his friends telling him
he looked sick, is very nicely il.
Illustrated by the effect Of the cry
of hard times" by certain ele.
ment of the people lead by a sor.
rowful torpid livered class Of
newspapers.
The PRESS is not one of the
class subscribing to the calamity
doctrine.
While it is true that no part of
Texas is enjoying the unprece'
denied prosperity occasioned by
the unparalleled crops and live
stock conditions of 1900, it is not
true that we are having anything
like remarkable hard times"
Hard times in comparison to
the most prosperous year the
county has known in quarter
of a century, yes; but in COMPARE
son to some of the really hard
tines of the past, the country is
fairly swim ming in prosperity.
A few years ago the cotton
crop scarcely brought a price
sufficient to pay for gathering
and marketing.
A few years ago cattle sold at
u price that would not pay for a
IL years pasturage at the pres
ent cost Of grass.
Now, while it is true the feed
problem is q serious one, prices
for all kinds of live stock are
fair, while cotton is a good price,
and most people who prosper at
any time are in fairly good shape
with bright prospects for the fu'
ture. Money is remarkably
plentiful, considering, and the
country is on the up grade all
along the line. improvements
in town and country go steadily
on, and grandma calamity is
present nowhere except in the
diseased imaginations of o few
misft editorial scribblers and
chronic mouthers, whose pessi
mism would drive the world tc
despair if their existence werC
coextensive with the noise they
make.
Take a tack, face about, look
on the bright side and let VI
cross the bridges when they ar,
reached, not before. There is ;
bright future, plenty of gloriou
sunriseS, and the iloWers o
spring yet ahead; think of them
and leave complaints and dreaC
of hard times as something to b.
experienced through compulsiol
and not discussed through
choice.

gested by the resolution herein re-
ferred to, that that active public
interest 80 essential to the success
Of our enterprise will be instantly

proposed, to the executive commit
tee at its next meeting, | am, very
