D0EF YOUR POLITICS.

Yes, said a prominent bust
ness man yesterday, / candidly
admit that if the time have thrown
away i'll worrying over local poll
tics had been devoted to the up
building of the many advantages
possessed by Laredo for advancing
it into the front rank of the most
prosperous cities in the state,
much better and more satisfactory
results might have been obtained.
l don't intend to convey the
impression that all good citizens
should not keep in touch with
their local aud national affairs,
but l am becoming thoroughly
convinced that it is too often the
case that our best citizens often
allow themselves to become so
partisan in local politics that they
for the time being ignore all other
public duties.
Why, if we could get all the
business interests of this city COM
biHed together in the laudable
effort of pushing any one of the
many opportunities Laredo has of
increasing, to the front, the most
optimistic among us would be
surprised at the result.
OF course | am expressing now
my private opinion, when I state
that one of the greatest obstacles
to be overcome to get a united and
friendly pull together among our
citizens on any public enterprise,
IS that unfortunate bitterness
which has been engendered by
local politics.
l am becoming thoroughly con-
WINGED that could a united and
hearty action of our citizens he
had in the matter of inducing Col.
Uriah Lott, the great railroad pro-
moter and builder, to meet the
citizens of Laredo and go over the
situation carefully, it would be
but short time before that Down
the River railroad" to townsville
so often mentioned and advocated
in The Times would be an accom-
plished fact.
This is only one of the many
big opportunities offered by
Laredo for a successful and paying
investment of capital. To under
take to enumerate them all at one
time would take up mere space
than The Times could afford 10
spare in one issue.
To cut an important and inter
esting subject short. ali I have to
say just now, IS that I am one bust

The Widow He Married.

A clergyman who was a widower
had three .7Townup daughters. Hav-
ing occasion to go away on a visit
for few weeks, he wrote home
from time to time. In one of his
letters he informed them that he
had married a strapping widow
with six children"
You may imagine what a stir this
created in the household. When the
vicar returned home one Of his
daughters, her eyes red with weep
ing, said:
.Where's the widow yoh married,
