Something Doing and the Good News Will be Handed

held the drill for a week OF
more.
The big ditching machine ar
rived the latter part Of last week
and will be- put to work some
time the latter part of this week,
or the first of next, making the
excavation for the waterworks
mains and latterals. With the
present fine weather il is expect
ed that the progress will be un-
abated.
Material Is arriving in large
quantities for this work, and it
is not expected that there will
be any further delays on this ac-
count. The contractors are on
the ground and men are being
employed to carry on the work.
A large quantity Of material is
being received for the sewer also
and will all be on the ground by

As to railroad situation. The

that everything is shaping up 10
the perfect satisfaction Of those
who have the matter in hand.
and il looks very favorable to
our town. 1t is believed by
those who know that il is a sure
thing.

BIC BANQUET WOULD Be A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
Exchanges Of Ideas Between the Business Professional Men
Farmers Would Result in Great Changes for the Better in
Conditions Affecting all Lines Of Business

We believe this is an oppor.
tune time for the people Of Lub.
book ard the farmers and
ranchmen of the county to get
together in a great get-to-
gether" meeting in this place.
One great trouble with all coun-
tries is the fact that the busi-
ness men, the professional men,
the farmer and the ranchman,
are always too far apart IN their
business relations, There should
be a better understanding be-
tween the great factors in MAX
ing the town.
In a meeting like we suggest
ideas could be exchanged and
the farmer could make known
his intentions for the future,
and the merchant could better
know what steps to take to CO.
operate with them, and assist
them in carrying out Their plans.
Another result Of the meeting
of this nature would bring about
a more fraternal feeling among
the people. The farmer would
not believe to so great extent
that the merchant was robbing
him. if he knew more about him,
and the things that they have
to contend with. Acquaint your
selves with each others situa-
tons and your relations will be
more satisfactory.
Get-together meetings of this
kind have been held in many of
the western towns and we be-
ieve that it would not be a bad
.dea for the people of tins sec
ton to enter into like prop .
sition.
T1ere are many thing that
should be looked after that are

vitaIly important to both bdsi-
ness man and farmer. The good
roads proposition for instance.
This is a matter that effects
both, and it is a matter that
both should feel an interest in.
The farmer is interested because
he has to haul his produce to
town over the roads, and the
merchant should be interested
in it because he wants the
farmer TO come 10 town, bring
his produce here. and trade with
them, and by having better
roads they will be sure to
come, while otherwise they
might feel inclined to go else
where.
When a friendly relation of
this kind is established it might
be the means of organizing a
strong commercial club in our
town, a thing that is needed
very badly. Lubbock, we must
admit is very much in the back
grounds when it comes to this,
and we feel that it is on ac-
count of too much selfshness
on the part of a large number of
our people. 1t is too apparently
impossible, because the farmers.
ranchmen and the larger prop
erty holders of the county will
take no interest in the matter.
