CITY BUILDING.

[By Commercial Secretaries.l
Natural advantages have killed more
towns than they have ever built up.
Too much prosperity affects some
towns as 1t does the hog-it clogs
their energy.
The knocker is q cross between a
pessimist and a crouch. The best way
to handle him is to take away his
hammer.
High brows don't pay bills nor put
through their deals. 1t takes brains.
Drawn and money. The little man who
will work is worth ten big men who
won't.
The women are potent factor in
town building through their labors for
civic attractiveness. An ugly town
does not impress one as being good
place to live in.
Town building in the majority of
instances should begin in the country.
Without the support of strong agri-
cultural community no town can grow
with any degree of permanency.
Each wave Of adversely and discon-
tent washes at the base of CONNER
cial organization-its finances. The
secret of a good financial plan is its
permanent hold on the people.

showdown comes she will be there
with the dough"
When in about 1867 she found it
necessary to get railroad connection
with the outer world, she had depend
ed upon her reputation and social and
business prestige to get the Interna-
tional G. Great Northern, and felt sure
it would not pass her up or by; but it
did, and she was left in isolation upon
her seven pine-clad hills, and the
heartless road builders from beyond
Mason and Dixon's line gave her first
the "horse laugh" and then proceeded
to hold her up in good shape.
They said: 1--WE will build you eight
miles of branch line for cash bonus
of $4,000 and $4,000 in 10 per cent
bonds" which, considering the size OK
Huntsville and that it was only about
six years after the close of the war,
and that there had been a succession
of poor crops for several years and a
yellow fever epidemic four years be-
fore, was equivalent to demand upon
Houston now for OOO,OO0-and this
is no exaggeration.
The proposition seemed preposter-
Gus, but Huntsville tackled it, and
with population then of but few over
1900 she raised the $4,000 in cash
one firm giving $10,OO0-and voted the
$4,000 in bonds-long since paid off
and On March &c, 1872, the first train
rolled into Huntsville, bringing thou
sands of people from Galveston and
Houston. Huntsville gave them ball
and a supper that would have made
a Lucullan feast look like back-door
handout. and that is the best paying
eight miles of railroad in Texas today.
Her people now want to get connec-
ton with the Trinity & Brpzos Valley
railway on the west, and the man who
wants to keep his sesterces in his
jeans better not bet that they won't
get it. The man who bets against the
grit and town pride and hustle of the
little city on red clay and under the
pines is running up against both bow
ers, the ace and the joker.

NOT TO LATE FOR CORN
An Appeal to the Farmers Not to
Repant Their Corn Land
In Cotton.

The continued cold weather and
heavy rains of the past three weeks
have brought the farmers face to face
with condition that | consider very
critical and very serious. From my
own observation and all the reports
that have been able to get from all
portions of the county, the entire corn
crop that had been planted will have
to be planted over. Owing to the
scarcity of good seed corn and the
lateness of the season, there is going
to be a great disposition on the part
of many farmers to replant this
ground in cotton instead of corn, from
fear that it is now too late to plant
corn. There is where the danger lies
in the situation.
My farmer friends, let us look at
this proposition just moment. II you
cut your corn acreage down, You are
compelled to do it with the expecta-
ton of making cotton to buy your
next years supply of corn, thing
that no farmer can ever afford to do,
it makes no difference how low the
price of corn may be. Then when you
reduce the corn acreage it will raise
the price of corn, and in reducing the
corn acreage you will, Of necessity, in.
OF course, put the price Of cotton
down, and this process will cut your
next years rations off at both ends of
the row. This is not all. If you were
to cut your corn acreage, you would
be compelled to dispose of your next
years supply of hogs, and with that
done you would be compelled to buy
your meat, another thing that no
farmer can afford to do.
The older settlers will recall that
on the 14th Of March, 1880, the crops
were at least three weeks earlier than
this year; but on that date there came
a freeze that killed every green thing
on the face of the earth. Corn and
gardens were up three, four and five
left. That freeze was followed by a
week of cold, drizzling rain, which
oHn hn hat
could not get into our fields until the
very last days of March, when the
corn was all planted over; and de-
sire to state here that seed corn was
scarcer then than now, for you all
know that 1t is an historical fact that
there was less. corn. raised in Brazos
county in 1879 than in any year for
fortiy-five years. Yet the year 1880 is
remembered as the best corn year
that we have ever had. So instead of
the lateness of the season influencing
any farmer to cut down his corn acre
age it would be the better business
proposition to increase it so that he
could make sufficiency Of corn even
though there should be, a short yield.
Because If there is anything needed,
and needed so bad that 1t hurts to the
bone, it is corn and all other feedstuffs
for Brazos county.
Almost every day see farmers COM
ing into town and loading their wag-
ons with corn, from the cars, that
costs them s1.1O per bushel, and oats
that cost 70 cents, and hay that costs

There is certainly some pep" in
the Huntsville spirit and enterprise.
This is the very spirit, however, that
is necessary to secure a railroad or
any other enterprise. reg'-so
II Huntsville can raise 100000 in a
"jiffy" to secure another railroad con-
nection, Bryan ought to raise money
enough to build the road to the Brazos
bottom in half ''jiffy."
Bryan can do it, too, if she just had
a little more pep" The urgency OF
the situation is certainly enough to
stir them to action. Will they meet
the situation? The Eagle believes
they will.
