GLAD TO RETURN.
De Kyle Smith Returns After a Sew
en- Weeks Jaunt.

There must be something in that
saying about the Rio Grande water,
after all" said DeKyle D. Smith
of the Brownsville Hardware Co. a
short while after getting off the
train Saturday night, for here 1 am
back in Brownsville and mighty
glad of it. 1 had a good trip ana
enjoyed every minute of it but there
is an attraction about the freedom
of living here, and a difference in
the point of view of the people that
makes one prefer il to the North. -
Mr.. Smith has been away since
early in August visiting Chicago and
various interesting places.
Everywhere, he said, he found peo-
pie anxious to know about Texas.
Although he was somewhat prepared
for it, ST. he confessed to some sur
prise at the extent of the advertis-
ing this country has received. A
new made acquaintance on learning
that he was from Brownsville would
invariably say, oh yes. That's the
place that was shot up" and then
procee~ to fire a volley of questions
at him concerning Texas in general
and the Brownsville section in par
ticular
1t seemed, he said, as though ev-
cry man and his brother was inter
ested in this country either person
ally or through some friend, or at
least, was thinking Texas. From
the number of questions he had to
answer and the general desire
evinced by the people he met to OBJ
tain first hand information concern
ing its resources, climate, people and
development, Mr. Smith says there
is no doubt in his mind that Texas
is the most talked about and
thought about state in the union.
But say" he said, changing the
subject, don't these little excurs-
ions to the North make your pocket
book weak? Here pulling out a
few lonely greenbacks is all [ have

days would have been my limit.
