proposed highway to extend their pres
ent systems of good roads to their
county lines TO connect with the roads
Of adjoining counties and thus provide
the desired continuous thOroughfare.
AS the county commits sioners of
Harris county understand it, almost
every county between Dallas and Gal
weston has at least the beginning of a
system of good roads. Generally these
roads radiate out of the county seats
for short distances, and it is the local
opinion that the expense of extending
them to the county lines would be so
small in proportion TO the benefits that
would accrue from such extensions
that the citizens of all of the counties
along the proposed route would gladly
authorize the expenditure.
County Judge A. r. Amerman, Of
Harris county, has authorized the
News to state that although this coun-
ty will be called upon to pay for sixty
miles of the proposed paved highway.
every mile of it will be ready for pub
lie use before the end Of this year
Sixty miles is considerably more than
any other county along the proposed
route will be called upon TO pave, but
Judge Amerman believes that every
county should do its part regardless
of the distance
AS matter of fact flfty-seven miles
of the Harris county portion of the
Red river-gulf paved highway has al
ready been completed and to finish the
road only three additional miles Of
road must be surfaced. The route in
Harris county runs from Waller, on
the northern edge of the county, to
Webster, on the southern edge. and
the road is paved to within three miles
of Waller. Radiating from Houston
are 300 miles of paved roads, the coun-
ty line being touched at several points.
Every road is paved with either shell
or gravel with a shell surface.
The Galveston county portion of the
road from League City, across Clear
creek from Webster, the southern ter
minus of the Harris county road, to
Point is as good as completed.
1t will be fine shell road. At Waller,
on the line of Harris and Waller coun-
ties, the Waller county portion of the

sioners of Waller county have recent
ly achieved considerable success on
the sandy roads of that county around
Hampstead with clay-surfaced roads
and very probably if the citizens of
Waller county take to the idea of hav-
ng continuous paved thoroughfare
through their county some kind of
clay mixture will be used for sur
acing.
Clay for road surfacing is, in fact,

GROW MORE PEANUTS.

The peanut is a legume rich in nj
trogen, but gathers from the air a
large part of this nitrogen. Our soils
are generally deficient in nitrogen and
it is the most expensive of the plant
foods we buy by the millions of dol
lars worth every year. The peanut
furnishes good hay for cattle, and may
save us millions of dollars in money
now paid for roughage shipped in from
other sections. The peanut is one Of
the best crops for producing pork
cheaply. We now pay millions of dol
lars for pork which can be produced
on peanuts for one-half what it now
costs. The peanut brings a good price
on the market because the demand
has always exceeded the supply, and

FL Paso, Texas, May "a genera
attack on Juarez began about half
past four o'clock this morning.
The decision to attack the city was
made after the ENJOYS who went TO
General Navarro, commanding the
federal garrison, after midnight, re-
turned saying he refused to surrender.
For armistice proposals General Ma
varro referred the ENJOYS to Judge
Carabajal, who refused to make an
agreement with part of the revels who
were already in Juarez.
The fighting was begun by detach-
ment of insurrectos with machine guns
in an adobe house near the Stanton
street bridge. Their guns commanded
the main streets of Juarez.
An American soldier who swan the
Rio Grande during the night returned
reporting that these insurrectos have
enough ammunition for an all-day
fight.
Colonel Villareal is advancing this
morning from the east with 900 men
fresh from the siege of Ojnaga.
General Madero claims to have post
ed strong force capable of intercept
ing the thousand federals now advanc-
ing from Chihuahua under General
Rabago to the relief of Juarez. Gen.
eral Navarro with twelve machine
guns expects to hold the city. Three
of these guns are in action this morn
ing, Smelling the hills where the in
surrectos are camped.
Two Americans, Mrs. Josefa Garcia
and her young son, were wounded in
Ell Paso during the first two hours
fighting this morning.
After two or three hours of cannon
aiding the federals began heavy rife
fire. The first volley of bullets passed
near the United States immigration
station in Ell Paso, but no one was in
jured.
Madero is not in active command
of the fighting, but is watching from
the field.

sweetest girls in Texas and some of
the most gentlemanly and manly boys
in Brazos county. If you don't believe

To carry the burden for tired ones;
