THE OTHER FELLOWS S
SAY--And Mine.

The other day heard banker say
that he had no interest in advertising
his county. Was I astonished? Was
the proposition astounding? A banker
not interested in saying good word
for the community? | was surprised
beyond the power of composed thought.
NY thoughts wouldn't run on the rails,
my trolley wouldn't follow the wire
In the haze of bewilderment recalled
those lines from that western poet who
went over to Scotland for your good
old Uncle Samuel and forgot his rustic
ways, where he says:
Do | sleep, do dream?
Do | wander in doubt?
Are things what they seem,
Or are visions about?
Is civilization failure, or
Is is the Caucasian played out?
A banker not interested in inducing
people to come to his county? That
question mark looked like a telegraph
pole with corn knife hanging over its
top. And as genial old Bret's lines ran
through my mind, wondered whether
after all were not in dream, hadn't t
been transferred to some benighted
country where the primer of philosophy
had not yet been printed. When | had
come out of my Elusive moments, my
banker friend, doubtless thinking me
asleep, had buttonholed passerby and
was discoursing eloquently on that de-
Iightful and ever engrossing subject
of the weather.
And am not even yet certain of my
footing whether it was fact or fancy
but I'll run the chance and hand it to
the printer.
P. S. I've tumbled! [ see the
point! Advertising the merits of a
country is calculated to bring people
and those people would poster the bank
er with the care of their money.
N. B. But, then again, | am in a
rnuddle. Why not say the country is
no good and keep people away? How
about it? JUNIUS.

Passing of the Camp Meeting.

A venerable American institution,
the camp meeting, is on the wane. 1t
is still far from dead, but those who
know it best perceive most clearly
that it's sunset hour has come. AS
the old preachers of to-day recount
in the past tense the experiences or
the circuit rider, that pioneering apos-
tie of Christianity to new communities,
so the preachers of tomorrow VIII
tell on occasions of Renaissance OF
the former glories of the hilarious
camp meeting, when people 'got re-
ligion" and were not afraid to make a
noise about it. Fewer and fewer of
the strongest preachers attend the
camp meetings. The more cultivated
church members become the less
taste they appear to have for this sort
of "old-time religion" Plainly, the
camp meeting is on the decline

AS you well know this bill passed
both houses with large majority, but

sorrow.
The Texas heart is in this matter,
and 1t is not to be doubted that the
constitution will be amended to meet
this obligation. In the meantime let
US be up and doing, with heart for any
fate. We need not be discouraged, for

Fine Bananas.

There is q car of fine bananas on the
tracks near the Starr grocery house.
A few days ago some mon advertised
a car of bananas to be here Friday and
Saturday. For some reason they di-
verted this car, sending it to another
town, and announced that there would
be no bananas on sale here. But there
are. Messrs. Marshall aud Dine are
here with car OF fine bananas, aud
they are selling them very cheap and
very fast. You had better go early

A REPORT
From Mrs. A. X. Howard. Chair
man of Committee, to State
Convention at Waco.

Madam, President and Daughters OF
the Confederacy:-Last year / ap-
pealed to your sympathies; today /
appeal to your good judgment. So
come and let US reason together. We
are very much in earnest about this
matter, which has already been placed
before you. 1t certainly is our duty to
recognize the fortitude and loyalty OF
the women who helped to fight battles
through their privations in the great
struggle that proved to the world the
unwavering courage and determined
zeal of our soldiers who fought for the
principle OF States rights.
All honor should be accorded the
wives and widows of those brave
soldiers whose never failing service
given in every possible way, proved
beyond the shadow of doubt that
their hearts we're loyal and in the
right place. Therefore we should
concentrate all our energy on this one
purpose until finished.
A man may know many things, but
he should know one thing thoroughly.
He may do many things, but he should
arise and shine in one thing.
There is frequently great prudence
in leaving things unknown and I'M
done-too much to know, to know it
all; too much to do, to do it all.
A man should have concentration
of purpose in all things great. SO it
is with you and me.
One of the crying evils of our organi-
cation is in the undertaking of too
many extras, in wasting energy, in
doing job work, in keeping too many
irons in the fire, in sustaining too
many sideshows. 1t is the height OF
prudence to bend our energies to one
point-to give our eyes, ears, hands,
hearts and heads to the accomplishing
of some one worthy object, and know
of no object more worthy than the
building of this home for Confederate
wives and widows.
Energy In like ounnoudar. m IN Of -

duce better quality of fruit The
successful physician is the specialist.
The successful general does not scat

Singleness OF aim, concentration of
purpose, and success will follow;
whereas, division may bring defeat.
SO l beg of every chapter in this
division to concentrate its energies on
the building of this home, until we
write FINISHED.
Only little longer will 1t be per-
mitted US to plan for the succor and
honor of these blessed old women, and
we Daughters thought that to meet
the pressing emergency it was but
necessary to ask Texas lawmakers to
help us with this urgent need. Know
ing so well of the untold wealth of this
great State, we made so bold as to ask
for small appropriation.
Bob Taylor, IN his own way, so
beautifully expresses the wealth of
this great State, thus:
so, glorious Empire State of the
sum kissed South; with thy two hum
dred and seventy five thousand square
miles of as rich a country as was ever
tickled by the pillow or pick, and as
ever laughed a harvest of corn and
cotton for the happiness of man; with
thy cattle on a Thousand hills, thy
countless hocks, thy gushing wells of
oil, thy fields of rice and sugar cane
stretching far away like the sweet
fields OF Eden on the other side OF
Jordan. with thy brave men and beau
tiful women, out of thine unwssting
fairness, thou canst feed and warm the
world"
Yet this State refused the small sum
of ten thousand dollars to shelter these
old women of the Confederacy. We

Blind Horse Runs Away.

\ pitiful incident on East Third
street yesterday illustrated the need of
hitching blind horses. One of them
had been left standing near the New
port, and tormenting flies or something
else started it to kicking. When it had
kicked itself partly loose it became
frightened enough to run, and started
on an uncertain dash across the street.
This carried it into Fred Wernentin's
automobile, which was standing in
front of the Davenport Plumbing Com
panys place of business. After some
what damaging the auto. the horse
swerved off across the street. fell down
at the opposite curb. got up and start
ed again. and after another mishap or
so was aiming toward a plate glass
window when bystaniers managed TO
catch and stop it.
