The RAILROAD PROJECT.
Mr.. Lott Goes to Meet Contractors
to Look Over the Route TO
Brownsville-Expects
Bonus to Be Raised.

As reported elsewhere in to-
days HERALD, Uriah Lott has
gone to Alice to meet the contractors
and others from St. Louis who are
interested in the railroad project
of which NJ. Lott has charge.
From Alice, the party will set out
Sunday in ambulances and ride
over the lins of the proposed road
to this city as laid off by the sur
veyors, and will probably reach
Brownsville within a week or ten
DAYS. Mr.. Lott has succeeded on
this visit in convincing our citizens
that this railroad is actually going
to be built within the near future,
and he gave the HERALD man to
understand last evening that he
has received assurances from our
leading business men and land
owners that the required bonus will
be raised promptly.
You may say in your paper,
though" said he, "that unless the
bonus be raised the road positively
will not be built to Brownsville,
but will cross the river at some
point considerably higher up"
Mr.. Lott also assured fhe editor
that construction on the railroad
will begin by June /, and he added
that, even before the work begins
at this end, the company expects to
erect its depot, shops, etc, at
Brownsville, to be in readiness for
the road when it reaches here. a
handsome passenger and freight
depot will be erected, and other
necessary buildings. and this will
at once put considerable money into
circulation in Brownsville.
Mr.. Lott apparently feels conf
dent that our citizens will not al
low this important opportunity 10
slip from them, and expects that
the bonus will soon be raised.
A new irrigation enterprise set
on foot in the lower Rio Grande
valley this spring is located at Las
Husias on the Mexican side of the
river. about four miles above Mata-
moros. Juan H. Fernandez, the
we'll known merchant of Browns
vile, is the enterprising gentleman
who has undertaken this work. He
now has about seventy-fve men
clearing the land, and doing other
work preparatory to planting. An
engine and pump of 10000 gallon
capacity will be put in and will If
rigate 1000 acres of land on whic h
Mr.. Fernandez will plant rice, and
cotton.

FOOTBALL CRANKS
 STUDYING TEAMS Great Interest Taken in the Thanksgiving Day Game TENNESSEE VERY STRONG Old Students From Over State Are Coming to See Contest as Well as
 Army of Students From
 Tuscaloosa.

With the approach of Thanksgiving day interest in the football games throughout the country increases and especial at tention is being given to the two games to be played in Alabama. First in local interest will be the contest between the University of Alabama and the Uniyer- sity of Tennessee at Birmingham. On account of the good record made by Ala bama this year it is hoped that the Tusca- loosians can top off their first suceess- full season with a Thanksgiving victory.
 These two teams are about equally matched and 1t is understood that even money Is being wagered by the bettors. While Alabama Is apparently the favor ite to a small degree there Is no good ground for this, outside of state pride according to the records.
 Both teams have won about an even number of games and each has been pit ted against strong opponents. Sewanee beat Alabama 2S to O. but could only beat largely due to the Sewanee men being in bad physical condition while they were in excellent shape when they met Alabama in this city.
 While there are few graduates of the University of Tennessee living in Bir- mingham the alumni of Alabama are making active preparations for entertain ing the Tuscaloosa team while here. It is understood that many of the old stu dents will come from various parts of the state to witness the contest and this supplemented by the army of students from Tuscaloosa will make formidable array of rooters
 The Cumberland game at Montgomery is also attracting considera- ble attention throughout the south as it will practically decide the championship. At the same time state interest Is not so keen as neither of the teams are from Alabama.

Evolution of Bedding.

"The Fau1t1ess" Mattress is a revelation of the evolution which caused a revolution.
 Primitive man lay down to sleep on the ground both hard and damp then he gathered leaves and straw-the first mattress The leaves and straw would scatter and get from under him, and yet for centuries 1t was his only bed. Cloth was invented-the straw was put in bag, and he was no longer com pelled to gather it up every day, for his rest at night. This was about the year 3697 B. c. In 1902 A. D., or 5000 years later, "The Fault1ess" Mattress was evolved-the highest attainment of comfort cleanliness, health and man.
 We sell "The Fautless' and a complete line of cheaper mattresses.
