Down River Railroad.

Leading citizens are deeply in
terested in the proposed railroad
down the river and since the en-
couraging report of the progress
being made was published in the
Times a day or two ago there has
been considerable discussion of the
proposed enterprise. Those who
have expressed an opinion on the
subject think the city stands ready
to do the needful when a clear cut
proposition is presented. The
Times believes things will be in
shape for the greatest activity
within ten days at the latest and
hopes, by that time, to be able to
publish some. details of the pro-
gress that has been made.-Laredo

The Way to do Things.

If there is that in your nature
which demands the best and will
take nothing less, and you do not
demoralize this standard by the
habit of deterioration in every
thing you do, you will achieve
distinction in some line if you
have the persistence AMI determine
ton to follow your ideal.
But if you are satisfied with the
cheap and shoddy. the botched and
and slovenly, i. you are not par
ticular about the quality of your
work, or in your environments, or
in your personal habits, then you
must expect to take second place,
to fall back into the rear of the pro-
cession.
People who have accomplished
work worth While have had a very
high sense of the way to do things.
Tkey have not been content with
mediocrity; they have not confined
themselves to the beaten tracks;
they have never been satisfied to
do things just as others do them,
but always little better. They
always pushed things that came
into their hands little higher up,
a little further on. It is this little
higher up, this little further on,
that counts in the quality of life's
work. 1t is the constant effort to
be first class in everything one at
te1npts that conquers the heights
of excellence Alice Echo.

A DISPATCH from Dallas under
date of the 18th inst. says: Re-
ports from all over the state in
dictate that real cold weather has
come early, with frost all over
north Texas. The indications are
for continued cold weather. The
frost damage around Gainesville
ruined the late cotton and vegetable
crops. Not much damage was
done III Dallas county, but the
lowland cotton in Grayson county
was badly injured. 1t is generally
agreed that late cotton in north
Texas and Indian Territory is
badly, if not entirely ruined. It
is also stated that the frost reach
ed nearly to Louisiana, and that
the people Of New Orleans are
very hopeful of early improvement
in yellow fever conditions.

Smooth Graft in Country.

Bonham Favorite.
The operations of a smooth graft
er have just come to light in Honey
Grove. We learn from good au-
thority that the said CRATER sold a
number of good housewives of that
town a handful of baled hay glued
together for Japanese ferns for
the small sum of 25 cents per plant.
The CRATER represented that each
placed in water would grow i'm
nediately and become of immense
size. Many bought them by the
dozen to place in their flower gar
dens.
