1. w. Davis bought eighty acres
of land near Mercedes yesterday.
He went up to Mercedes yesterday
morning to look over that PROPOSE
ton and was so well pleased with
the looks of the land and of the
big irrigation proposition which
they have there, that when he came
back to Brownsville he closed the
deal for eighty acres of this land.
The number of fruit trees and
flower plants now growing here
nurtured by water that has to be
hauled and delivered in barrels is
very creditable to those who plant
and cultivate the fruits and flowers
at an expense that is far greater
than will have to be paid when the
water supply is furnished by the
mains of the water system owned
by the city.

stated that they were only down

connected with any business relat-
ing to rail roads. When asked
what they thought of the PROPOSE
ton of building a bridge to con-
meet with the Mexican line they
said that it was their opinion that
a move of this kind would be very
beneficial to the country, especially
the Brownsville country, and that
it would be only question of time
