WELCOME THE COMING GUESTS

The Herald takes pleasure in once
more calling attention to the Joint
meeting of three important societies
In Brownsville, Monday and Tuesday
OF next week. Of these societies the
eldest is that of The South Texas
Gardeners. Brownsville is the home
of this society. This is it's place of
beginning, and the point whence ra-
dates its good influence in the val
ley. In point of fact, the Gardeners
will act as host to the other two
associations. The Rio Grande Cane
Growers Association and the Rio
Horticultural Association will hold
their meetings Jointly with part Of
the gardeners, and will have part in
tn the programme.
1t is to be expected that Browns
vile will show it's usual interest in
this important annual event. Our cit
liens are proud'to know that Browns
vile is t. home of the South Texas
Gardeners, and undoubtedly will eX-
tend to them the usual cordial greet
ing. The Cane Growers and Horti-
culturist societies, also most impor-
tant organizations, will be equally
as welcome.
The intelligent cooperation of the
various departments of industry in
this great valley is a thing upon
which great interests hang. They are
TO deal with problems that touch
the very life of the community. They
represent the forces that work all
the time, quietly, earnestly, INTEL
igently, in the development of this
wonderful region. They are by no
means spectacular in their methods.
They do not sound a trumpet before
them. There will be no martial mus
ic, red fire nor fervid oratory. They
will be quiet, earnest, trained spec
ialists who will deal in practical
ways with practical problems.
Brownsville should show them in
some sufficiently emphatic way that
they are welcome, that she appre-
ciates their company, and wishes
Athem to feel at home. The Herald
leaves the question of the form the
welcome should take to the broad
minded, liberal-spirited business men
of the city. Brownsville is the big
gest city in the lower valley; her
spirit should be commensurate with
her dimensions.

The Mormon colonists in Sonora
are appealing to the government of
the United States for protection
against the rebels, who are coming
their way. 1t is said that many of
those Mormons are American citi-
zens. Senator Smoot Of Utah is said
to be urging the president to help
them. At this particular crisis in the
presidents political affairs, it is go
ing to be rather hard for him to turn
down that particular appeal for
help. Which is by no means saying
that he ought to turn it down.

most any other county in South
Texas, west of Victoria and

not speack for any except Cam

doesn't believe that Nueces coun-
ty has better roads than either
or even half the extent Of good
roads which each of these prog
gessive Lower Rio Grande coun-
ties possesses. We challenge the
Caller to produce the proof

A NEWSPAPER CURIOSITY.
Old Matamoros Paper Published in
Manuscript.

f. G. Pierce has a copy of an old
Spanish publication Ell Libertador,
dated November II, 1855, which was
published in the city of Matamoros.
apparently this was before the print
press had invaded the Heroic City
as the paper was not printed, but
written with pen and ink. It's mast
head stated that it vas a political
and literary periodical and the news
matter in it consisted mostly of in
'sinuating criticisms. The publisher
was evidently quite an artist. All Ihe
matter contained on both isdes OF
the SKIS sheet was written out in
a neat hand, and there are two very
realistic cartoons, one showing a cou-
pie of donkeys evidently in a poll
teal discussion, and the other a cri-
ticism of some prominent character.
The publication was evidently
poised in a public place, as it is
hardly within the bounds of reason
that sufficient copies of it were got
ten out for general circulation. To
have done so would have required an
unreasonable amount of labor and
time.
