BrOwnwoOd at Wichita.

The Brentwood "pennant win.
ners" betook themselves to
Wichita Falls last week and lost
two out of three games. There is
no disgrace in losing baseball
game. Brentwood seemed to
think there was. After losing
three straights to San Angelo on
the local grounds they lost two
more. The worst part of the per-
Torrance is that they wrote home
that they were being robbed.

with the advent Of the first
month of autumn, West Texas is
blessed with relaxation of the
extreme heat which has pre-
vailed for about six weeks. Sep
tomber provided II change Of
scehe ut the very beginning The
long hot days of August with the
subsequent uncomfortable nights
are passed. In their place We have
shorter days, less fierce heat and
actually cold nights
For many years, some Of those

there has not been known in
West Texas such prolonged WIS.,

atty. Never has the country
complained SO generally of warm
weather.
Strange though it may seem
in view Of the above statements,
the country has not suffered ma
terially. Prairie fires have de-
vastated few of the ranges, but
in most cases the injured owners
were well able TO stand the loss
The cotton crop has been dam
aged to some extent but even
now, 80 say many of the farmers,
II good yield will be had AS good
one as any portion of Texas
will have. Cattle have not suf-
fered The streams, fed by eter.
nal springs are, with few ex-
captions, furnishing abundant
water for every purpose. The
hand of calamity has not fallen
on our beloved land and there are
but few who see aught but II pros
porous fall and winter season be-
fore us.
In San Angelo the streets are
cut up, dry and dusty. The wind
blows, occasionally, as of yore
and strangers find fault with the
city on that score. But that ia
about the only drawback. Little
else can be complained of. The
sanitary condition is fairly good.
There is no epidemic of sick
ness and hardly any danger OF
one. The water supply is ample
enough for all purposes and
lawns, trees and flowers are green
and pretty. A spirit of prog
ression fills the atmosphere.
Prosperity is abundant. New
business blocks are being built,
new sidewalks erected, the streets
improved and everything looks
good. The merchants ara laying
in large stocks of fall aud win
ter goods, in anticipation of
good fall and winter business
The old town looks bright and
clean. A feeling of optimism is
prevalent. The gods have been
good to San Angelo and San An

"the Lord helps those who help
themselves" is forging to the
front. Keep your eyes on San

story tells how little the risk is ::
J. II. Asher IL Co., hardware

thousands of gallons and have
had Just one complaint in all this
time. Three sides of II house was
perfect; the fourth was as bad as
the three were good. Explana-
tion-It rained the night before
the fourth side was painted; and
the painters didn't wait for the
wood to dry What is done in
such u case? Whatever the deal
or, who sold the paint, considers
it fair to do. We leave it to him.
He may not do exactly what we
should do if we were there; but
we are not there. The best We
can do IS to leave it to him.
Yours truly,
