riotous and speedy young men tc

Our sedate and evenly poised young
men could not have been guilty of ex
ceeding the speed limit even in
SLEEPY Hollow much less in the
quiet, peaceful, restful little city OF
Navasota.
Our boys are not speeders. Perish
the thought. They glide along as

And such language, oh, horrors! 1t
is absolutely foreign to our sanity
young men. This last allegation estab-
fishes beyond all doubt that it is a
case of mistaken identity, and we
trust that Brother Blackshear will
speedily announce that the boisterous
young men referred to were from some
other wicked and reckless city, there
by relieving Bryan and her staid
young men from anything and every
thing that even smacks of indecorous
or improper conduct.

ARRESTED FOR SPEEDING.

A quartet of joy riders from Bryan
undertook to take the streets of Nav
asota in last Saturday afternoon and
were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Wood
Glass. When apprehended they ex
pressed surprise that man shouldn' I
be allowed to run his car as fast as he
pleased, and stated that they didn't
pay any attention to anything like that
at Bryan" 1t was no concern of the
officer what they do at Bryan, but
here at Navasota some little attention
Is paid to such things. as the quartet
soon found out. However, since it was
the first offense, Mr.. Glass imposed
the smallest possible fine on them,
which, by the way, was not very much
appreciated. the boys remarking that
Navasota was the d-st town they
ever saw and they didn't see what the

That's worse than Bryan and it is
bad enough here. Some time ago The
Eagle called attention to the insani-
tary condition of the butcher wagons,
and that meats were being brought in
from the slaughter houses without any
covering to protect it from flies and
dust. Since then there has been some
improvement, but there is room for

Another Opportunity.

This community is favored inoeeo py
the number of opportunities offered It
IN better its conditions, and the OLD
idea that opportunity knocks at our
door but once, and if unheaded passes
us by forever more, is proven tallacy,
for time and again has the fairy goo
called and bade US follow.
The proposition of President Ken
nedy of the Orange and Northeastern
railway, is the opportunity again OF.
fered us to secure another railroad, and
one which will mean much to the bust
ness interest of this city and COM
munity; traversing as it will the vast
rich. undeveloped territory to the
Southwest, it will open section virgin
in every respect and full of possibilities
for commerce, trade development from
this point which should become the
distributing center.
The proposition concretly stated, II
the building of standard gauge line
of railroad from Orange on the Sabine
river at the head of a deep watel
harbor, to this point, to be completed
in two wears, in consideration OF
donation of sixty thousand dollars, BY
this CITY and ward one; the railroad
company further obligates itself u
make this division point with rount
house and shops, to acquire fifteer
acres of ground for this purpose.
Now, the only way to secure tn
amount of the donation is through
special tax of five mills for ten years
or until such time as the said sixt!
thousand dollars is realized, but no
exceeding ten years.
The mass meeting Of majority O
the representative business men ant

New City Government.

As will be seen by the call in another
column for Primary to select candi
dates for city officials under the New
Commission form of government, the
people Of this community will on next
Wednesday be called upon to select the
officers who win put this new form Of
government into practice.
The time limit is short, this was oc.
casioned by the Indebtedness of the
law, which failed to designate the
authority to conduct the primary cleo
ton, however the shortness of time is
not important as the proposed new
system has been thoroughly discussed,
and adopted by an overwhelming
majority of the voters, and the avail
ability Of candidates has been long and
seriously considered, therefore the
question 10 simply who the ones best
qualified to make the best officials who
will accept the positions and become can
didates. That they should make the
sacrifice, if sacrifice it be, goes with
out saying.
Now, in our opinion their should be

hitting their name for Mayor and

from among the ones the majority of
the voters think will make the best
officers.
1t is up to the best citizenship to

minister the city government to the
best interest and along the highest
