NO PAPER NEXT WEEK.

The NEWS force, as has hereto fore been the custom, will observe Christmas next week and for the issue of Thursday, Dec, 27th., we will omit.
 We have been publishing the NEWS eight months. It was the 18th, day of February when we purchased half interest in the plant from our friend, C.M James, and on the 18th, of April, two months later, we acquired full pos session of the News, and during our eight months editorship we have made many friends, few ene- mics and a little money, all of which makes us. feel quite we'll satisfied with our work. We have made some few changes in the business management of the paper, and added more type and job ma terial to the office. On the 1st. of November we quit sending the News to all subscribers not paid in advance. Some of our best friends began at once to "kick" and said that we would put the paper out of business. We wish to remark that at the rate some subscribers were failing to "pay up," 'twould have soon "died' any how, so we couldn't see where we were runn- ing any great risk. But let us step to the front and say that EVERY subscription to our paper IS PAID IN ADVANCE and we have enough to continue the publi- cation of the News We are re- ceiving new subscribers every day "not omiting Sundays" The fact that the circulation has near ly doubled since we took charge leads us to believe that our man. agement of the paper has been quite satisfactorily to the people. We certainly appreciate the very liberal support the people have given us whether deserved or not. Of course we hope to retain all the subscribers we now have and also hope to get more added to our list in the near future. Our clubbing offer with the Weekly Commercial Appeal, both the News and the above paper for $1.00, we think

rus for celebration night. Merry Christmas will soon be here anN Christmas songs are songs of peace. Christmas greetings are greetings of good will. How they soften hard hearts, purify base de- sires, sweeten bitter thoughts, and make every deed, purier and holier; every wish, kind and ten der. Let hearts expand, sympa- thies enlarge, and good will reign. Let benedictions drop from lips, and substantial gifts fall from overfowing hands. Make cheer less home radiant, and hopeless hearts to thrill with unspeakable gladness. Forgive your enemies. Bury the past. Rise above the mean and petty resentments which you may have harbored against those who have not used you we'll. Be generous. Get ready to start the new year with more kindly feeling and more noble ambitions. Make the Christmas of this year a day to which you can always look back with pleasure and gratitude. Peace and good will unto you, dear reader, and a Merry, Merry Christmas to all.

others live for those that love you and are left for you to love. Earth's transitory things have their heavenly slde as we'll as their earthly; look to the former and it never fails to remit some ray of light, while the latter may only impart appalling darkness. It has been said, and most truly, too, that life is much what we make it, and so will be your Christmas; it may be the sunshine of your whole life of which you may absorb so much it will so brighten the rugged way you have to tread, half of the sorrows of life will be mitigated, and a large share of it's griefs assuaged. Then drink your fill of its joys, and sip sparingly of its possible sorrows, and thus, dear readers, may you one and all have most truly joy ous, happy and merry Christmas.

But now they are gone,. been called home to- return no more. This time last year they were planning surprise for some one near and dear to them in the way of Christmas present that would cause them to be remember ed as the years roll on bringing the joyous Christmas time.

Christmas is what we make it. We know many homes where the gifts would seem poor enough if It were not for the love that goes with them. Trifing toys would seem almost valueless; but look at the love and sacrifice they repres- ent, and all Gould's: ill-gotten wealth could not buy them. The poorer the giver the greater the gift-have we not read how the widows mite outweighed the whole treasurys

 And the chim- ney place all swept and clean gapes wide it's ponderous jaws. The little stockings are all hung up, and baby's just makes four. Won't old Santa Claus be surpris- ed when he finds there is one more There's an elegent place up in the tree to hang Johnny's gun, and place for May and one for Kate to leave their dolls upon. But for little baby blue eyes lower branch he must choose, where she may req oh and find theplace he's hung her first new shoes. .Turn down the light a lit tie now so Old Santa Claus can see, And baby and all must go to bed and be as good as can be, and tomorrow morn get up early after 8 long nights sleep,

ever before. More work has been
done on it in the last IL months
than for several years and but for
the rise in the river this summer,
the road from Brownsville to the
Hidalgo line would be frst-class.
One new bridge at Las Rusias was
replaced last summer by a culvert
and an embankmeut and in the
recent high water the embankment
and culvert were both swept away,
leaving the road well nigh impass-
able. This bridge is being rebuilt,
the bridge at the Naranjo has been
completed already and work has
begun on the one at the Puente de
Los Negros. Judge Bartlett has
given this feature of his duties a
great deal of attention and has
helped the good roads cause no
little by his willingness to hear
and heed the complaints of our
people, and deserves great thanks
for so doing.
The cheerful sound of the ham
ner and saw indicate general i'm
proveinents about town, which
gives encouraging evidence OF
growth. Carpenters, brick layers
and painters are in demand, and
the supply falls short in many in
stances. These are healthy signs,
and Brownsville has cause to fee
hopeful.
Fifty-nine 1aborers left on the
morning train, forty-three of then
going to work on the railroad
beyond Bay City. The other.
went to Lonsboro, four being car
penters and twelve common la
borers.
The weather: Warmer Tuesday
partly cloudy; light to fresh easterly
to soutberly winds.
