! tiers are negotiating for the othel
house. The enterprising owner o.
these new buildings is Geo. w
/ Kendall, who is we'll known tc
most Of our readers as one of oul
oldest and most highly respected
citizens. Mr.. Kendall, with well
grounded faith in the future OF
Brownsville, bought this land sew
eral months ago and lost no time
in improving it. His example
might be emulated by others IN
Brownsville with profit 10 them
selves and benefit to the town in
general. If some of those owning
town lots which are disfgured by
tumble-down shacks, so plenti-
full about town, would either tear
down those shacks and erect neat
and modern buildings on them or
sell the lots at reasonable figures to
others who would invest their cap
ital thus, they would do well. The
demand for medium sized dwell
ings which may be rented at mod
crate prices and yet have modern
conveniences, continues undated.
Why will not some of our citizens
who have the land and capital show
sufficient enterprise and pride in
their town to build such houses?
Let the example of Mr.. Kendall
inspire them.

An event of considerable import
ance booked for Brownsville is the
teachers institute to be held here
text month. The school board
has determined to place the public
schools of this city in line witch
those of every other place of any
importance in Texas, and will re-
quire all who wish to teach in the
city schools to attend the institute
for the purpose of better preparing
themselves for their work. This IS
one of the best moves ever made
in Brownsville and its results will
be far reaching. There is no more
important adjunct to the progress
of any community than a good and
sound system of public schools.
To insure the possession of such it
is essential that none but specially
trained and qualified teachers
should be employed. This is what
the school board proposes to do
| hereafter, and the institute will
afford teachers an opportunity to
come up to the requirement. 1t
may be added appropriately that
! the county school authorities should
follow the example of the city
school board and require county
teachers to attend the institute also.
Good schools throughout Cameron
county will be one of the strongest
drawing cards in the development
of this section which it can posi-
bly, offer. The state pays for good
educational facilities and the local
school authorities should do their
part in seeing that the best mater
ial obtainable is secured for teach
ers.

Some very fine samples of cotton
were shown a HERALD man today
by Nathan Lightbourn, from his
farm on the Lick place a few
miles from town. This cotton is OF
the Early King variety. Mr..
Lightbourn has about twenty seven
acres of it, and it is estimated by
experts that this field will make
fully a bale and half per acre.
Mr.. Lightbourn has counted on q
number of stalks as many as 20C
fully grown bolls. 1t is already
opening, justifying its name, and
Its long, fine staple proves it to bS
a royal product. Mr.. Lightbourn'
crop will be ready for the market
very soon.

REV J. o. osLERIzED.

Rev. j. o. Thompson, secretary of
the West Virginia Board of Agricul-
ture takes exception to the Osler
theory. Professor Osler theories
that a man has outlived his useful
ness at 40 and at go should be
chIoroformed. DIR. Thompson be
lieves that many young men, who
show poor promise of being useful
citizens of the community, should be
treated to Professor Osler's prescrIp-
ton at the age of 21.
eeThere are many young men, he
said, EEwho show at an early age that
they can never become either useful
or peaceable citizens of the country
You see them on every hand, youths
who are positively useless as far as
their fellow man is concerned.
EFNow, while / do not believe that
most men have outlived their useful
ness at so, there are many men who,
would not be much better off had
their existence been choked off at an
carly age instead of permitting them
10 live a useless life, being a burden
to the community in which they live
and n disgrace to their relatives.
There are many who join me in tins
belief"
The Rev. J. o. must be seeking
such notoriety as old Osler got, but
The Rev. J. o. shows himself so bad
" afflicted with Oslerism that his
effort to get that notoriety becomes
more or less Oslerized before it
hardly starts and his utterances are
so strangely void of sense that there
is no occasion to give him more than
passing mention and advise him 10
Law down and die, or at least not t"
attempt to think again
