In response to a telegram an
nouncing the illness of his father
at Corpus Christi, A. 7. Vineyard,
who is preparing to engage in the
FISH business at Point Isabel, left
this morning for the bedside of his
parent. THE HERALD hopes the

much improved on his arrival at
that place.
II was reported that a steam
yacht was to arrive at Point Isabel
yesterday with a party of New
York travellers. DIR. Layton who
is attending to the duties Of quaran-
tine officer during the absence OF
DR.. Florence, went down TO the
Point TO see if everything was as
it should be, but up to three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
vessel had not shown up.
THE HERALD is pleased to note
that T.. A. McGary, who was re-
ported as quite i'll last Saturday
and that an operation for peritonitis
would perhaps be necessary, is
considerably improved today, and
his physicians now hope the
operation may be avoided. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. McGary
underwent an operation for APP
pendicitis some time ago III San
Antonio, and his present illness IS
a recurrence of the old trouble.
II has been definitely settled
that the Epworth League excursion
will come TO Brownsville one day

their lines have indeed fallen in

people know how 10 entertain the
guests within their gates and THE
HERALD feels secure in saying the
visitors will go home feeling that
it has been good for them to be
here.

The State Journal never said that
Mr.. Roosevelt was elected for two
terms but whether 1t did or did not, is
hot worth quibbling about. The fac.
remains that when his present term
expires he will have been President OF
the United States for nearly eight
years. During the first part of this
tine lie was President just the same
as though he had been elected 10 thar
position. All this may look like su-
peNiuous statement but It seems nee
essary to go over 1t time and again
to get the West virginian to under.

The West virginian has understood
the State Journal ell the time-it is
not for Roosevelt, and that's what wor.

the President, our esteemed contempt.

people will require him TO serve an ad-

pATsoNIzE HOME INDUSTRIES.

The West yirginlan spoke some
days ago about many of our people
buying their clothing and footwear
away from home, to the great detri.
ment Of the latter. But we didn't
tell IT all then, because we didn't
know It all. We find that scores of
persons buy everything they wear
at distant points-shirts, collars,
cuffs and underwear their reason
for doing SO being that they cannot
get as good articles from home mer.
chants as they can in the eastern
cities. Many ladies of Fairmont
have caught the same habit, as they
buy their wearing apparel or a great

more, Philadelphia or New York.
The idea does not seem to occur to
them that the money they send or
take 10 those cities never returns.
We have another matter in mind
that is doing Fairmont more harm
even than what we have spoken of
above. 1t is the buying of our bread.
stuffs abroad. We have n Touring

vested more than 100000. 1t is do

be patronized by Fairmonters general.

In the matter of selling to our people
Is thirty barrels per week. The rea.
SON 1t does not sell more is because
Western millers, who have no II.
censes nor taxes to pay, bring -four
here in carload lots and peddle II
out, and the money they take away
never returns. This mill company
handles feed and grain of all kinds,
& yet It does only moderate business
In these lines owing to the competi.
ton 1t has from the West. There are
others handling feed and grain here
who constantly feel the effects OF
Western competition.
What a robust community we could
soon have If everybody would re.
solve not to buy anything at distant
points that can be bought at home.
