the Paris, Commerce and other Uni
ted Ex-confederate Veteran camps
for the trip to New Orleans, La, in
connection with the reunion which
is to take place May 10Th TO End,
1908. Extensive arrangements are
being made to maintain the reputa-
ton which, with a pardonable de-
gree of pride we trust, we believe
we have justly attained as result
of our efforts to properly care for
the comfort and convenience of our
patrons on these trips in former
years.
AS probably most of you know, it
is the intention to run a train
through to New Orleans and return,
via. Terrell and the Texas and Pa
cific Ry., consisting of elegant
coaches, chair cars, cafe ears and
baggage cars, all appropriately dec
GRATED, leaving Paris about $50 a.
m, May 18th, and arriving at New
Orleans the following morning in
time for breakfast.
The cafe car service will be a main
attraction, as dispensing coffee,
sandwiches, etc, at the moderate
prices Of ten cents per sandwich, five
cents per cup Of coffee, with prices
on other articles in proportion.
1t is our desire to eclipse all form
er efforts in this direction and we
earnestly solicit your cooperation
in making the excursion the grand

THE Texas Press Association will
meet in WaXahachie and the pres
ence of the Tribune is urged upon
the promise that the meeting Will be
worth a great deal to to the editor
in many ways. The Tribune, how
ever, fails to recall a single instance
where these meetings have resulted
in any practical benefit, in a finau-
cial way, to a single member out
side the salaried officers. When
ever the newspapers of the state
take it upon themselves to get down
to real business propositions, take
mp and properly adjust advertising
rates, both home and foreign, on a
basis of each 100 circulation, and
many other things that could be
done profitably to the fraternity, the
Tribune will be with the gang. But
the loss of a weeks time for the
privilege of meeting the boys and
excurting over the country in sew
eral different directions without any
practical benefits is more than the
Tribune cares to tackle, and will
therefore beg to be excuse d.-Lufkin

meeting to teach him anything, but
we would like to have him on exhi-
bitiOn as an additional attraction.

did he lose his auburn thinl-pioce.

of course but in the JOY of victory, we
have forgotten who we're the offenders.
Shortly before the umpire called play
