from the ticket agent of the NJ X.

of the St. L. B. @ N. Ry. He fur
Their alleges that the conductor on

week. will be put up to the citizens
Of this city The answer should be
favorable to the invasion of the city
by the Bay with a large, enthusiastic
delegation, and the Herald can not
doubt that it will be. No better OPP
portunity of advertising this city and
Valley to the people of Texas and
Louisiana, at least, will be offered in
some time
Large numbers of deIegates from
these two States will attend the con-
vention, and the entire population
of the country contiguous to Corpus
is expected to flock to that city on
the days of President Taft's visit. A
rousing, united delegation from this
Valley can do advertising work on
that day alone, that will be worth
hundreds of dollars.
Outside of the advertising Browns
vile and the Valley are very much
interested in the proceedings OF the
convention The improvement of our
waterways is a subject of great i'm
portance to this section just now, and
therefore, the Valley should be rep
resented by its best men in this
gathering at which important action
regarding the state waterways will
undoubtedly be taken.
Gather at the Federal Court room
tonight, then, men Of Brownsville,
and raise your voices in favor of
sending a large delegation to Cor
pus Christi next week.
