pies, cakes and rolls, also Fleisch-
man & Co.'S celebrated compressed
yeast. am here to serve my Gus
toners and in regard to my goods
and business methods, I always en-
deavor to sell nothing but goods of
finest quality and to offer the trade
onlv the best the market affords.
Poor goods are dear at any price.
Call on me and give me an order
and you will be my customer. I
want your trade.
A very pleasant call is acknowl-
edged from Jas. L. Johnston, a
prominent citizen of Paplar Bluff,
Mo, who arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon. He is engaged
in the merchandise and jobbing
business, and has been spending
some time at Corpus Christi. Mr..
Johnston had beard much of this
portion of the Brownsville country,
so decided upon an investigating
tour to this section. He is very
favorably impressed with the future
of the lower Rio Grande. believing
nature has been very lavish in her
distribution of possibilities which
the hand of man must develop.
If Mr.. Johnston finds any bargains
floating around he will probably
invest in some of our dirt.
It will be remembered that at
tue recent directors meeting of the
Brownsville, Hidalgo & Northern
railway company, the president was
authorized to take up with the
citizens and people interested the
matter of legally securing for
Brownsville the permanent loCa-
ton and maintenance of general
offices, general machine shops and
terminals OF the new road. Those
of you who have given the subject
any serious thought can readily see
the great benefit to our city to &C
crue from the the location of gen
eral headquarters here. The month
ly disbursements would amount to
something like $4,000 or $50, 900,
a large portion of which would be
put i'll circulation through the va
rious business channels of the city.
Then, all the earnings of the road
would come to Brownsville and be
circulated through our local banks.
These items alone are sufficient to
enthuse every citizen to use his
best efforts to secure general head
quarters here. Col. Lott will take
the matter up with the citizens,
and THE HERALD would suggest
that a mass meeting of citizens and
others interested be held in the
near future, to the end that the
question be permanently settled
from legal point of view as soon
as possible. There are many other
advantages to be considered in the
securing of headquarters here.
which will be touched upon from
time to time.
