HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, Dec. 30.-With the
passing of the holiday season trade
in all lines has fallen off and trades
men are being given opportunity to
take stock. The appearance of re-
duced price sales, however, will slim
ulate renewed buying.
On account of the excellent holiday
trade collections are good Jobbers
are reporting a rush of fill-in orders.
Spring and summer lines are being
prepared for delivery.
Rainy weather is hampering trade,
while produce receipts are falling off
in consequence. Reports to the Hous-
ton Chamber of Commerce show rains
are quite general over the South.
Receipts of turkeys in Houston con-
tinue light with high prices prevailing.
There is little change in the chicken
market. Receipts are light and the
demand moderate. Shippers OF all
lines of produce to Houston will do
we'll by feeling out the market before
sending in supplies.

WE KNEW BETTER.


We knew just how it should be spoke
We learned it when boy,
But you can't get us Southern folk
To call it "Illinoy."
In fact we do not talk like you
Across the Dixie line;
We all say new" while you say
moo"
The same with hog" and Swine"
Our little roads, we call them paths
While you would call them
"p-a-a-t-h-s."
Our little cows, we call them calves
And you would call them
''c-a-a-l-v-e-s."
We could not say "the COW" like you
'Twould be no use to try;
1t seems as you said the kouw,"
1t sounds so harsh, oh, my!
We like to read your lines, old friend,
They are so pure and clean;
Well cast all testing to the wind
Here's luck to you, Eugene!

The Texas Republic (Bull Moose)
has already waded into the very dis
tant and very problematical senatorial
fight between Culberson and Colquitt,
and is supporting Culberson. 1t would
seem that Major Nose is wading in
little early, especially as it is a DEM
ocratic affair; but as he has no party
of his own to monkey with, he is per-
haps excusable.-Bryan Eagle.
The senatorial fight between Col
quit and Culberson Is neither very
distant nor problematical. 1t is now
on, and will grow stronger and more
bitter until the close. Major Nose did
not break the ice, but it having been
broken, he insists upon wading in,
party or no party, just to see if the
water really is fine.-Texas Republic.

COMMUNITY LOYALTY TO
THE NEWSPAPER MAN.

When will citizens of the towns of
our country learn the Importance of
appreciating their interdependence?
Until they do, and are willing to ire
turn good" at least for good, to each
other they can not hope to prosper
as they should, either individually or
collectively.
Can you remember, Mr.. Average
Townsman, when you were pleased
and elated to send copies of your
county paper to your friends, because
of mention of your sons graduation
in the high school Of your town, and
his good fortune in obtaining re-
sponsible and lucrative position, on
his merits, as recorded by your faith
full newspaper man?
You felt generously complimented.
Did your appreciation prompt you to
do anything in return, more than pay
your one dollar subscription? Again
when something not very compliment
airy to your town occurred, how kindly
the editor of the county paper OBJ
scured the details, loyal to his towns
men and his town.
Did you, when the same editor
asked for some special patronage,
few dollars in advertising perhaps, tell
him with an Indifferent air that you
didn't think his paper could do you
much good? If you did you are sew
eral kinds of an migrate, but you are
also just Mr.. Average Townsman who
doesn't seem to think that an editor
is susceptible of any of the pleasant
Establishments that polite people in
dulge in.
And you, too, Mr.. Dense Townsman,
when you go to the we'll furnished,
comfortable churches or opera house
of your town, do you realize that these
inestimable social privileges are the
result of the united effort and sacri-
flee of your fellow townsmen, and that
the editor was ready at all times to
advocate and advertise their progress

An editor is supposed to be an opti-

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Fashion begets lot of new
wrinkles.
Life is a game of chance, but death
| is sure thing.
Love levels all things-if 1t is. on
the level.
The people we envy always envy
some other fellow higher up.
Some men would rather steal poor
living than earn good one.
Many man likes a womans style
as long as he doesn't have to pay
for it.
The things we get for nothing are
apt to cost us more than the things
we buy.
If you have occasion to transact
business with a mule select one who
has no kick coming.
Often when love at first sight leads
to marriage, second sight is apt to
lead to divorce.
1t is as difficult for man to serve
two masters as it is for a woman to
serve both style and comfort.
The one way a man can win an
argument with woman is to state
his side of the case, then slam the
door behind him.
Once in a great while a man comes
home as early as his wife thinks he
ought to, or the postman brings her
letter that she expects.
