Compare the Bryan of today with
the Bryan of ten years ago. Then look
ahead ten years and make another
comparison. There is no reason under
the shining sun why as great develop
ment should not take place during the
next ten years as in the past. In fact,
it should be greater, as we have just
learned how to grow. We are now
organized, the energies being expend-
ed in development are ten times as
great as ever before, and the momen-
tum now acquired will keep the old
town moving. The man who thinks
Bryan has reached its limit will either
have to sidestep or be run over.

1t has come to The Eagle that its
stringent criticisms of the extremely
disgraceful divorce business that has
been in vogue in this county for years,
has had the effect Of materially cut
traffic. We are rejoiced to hear it.
Negroes securing a divorce in the Dis
trict Court room, then walk down
stairs, secure marriage license and
marry again before leaving the court
house, is nothing more nor less than
swapping husbands and wives. Such
practice is a disgrace to our county
and blotch on our boasted civiliza-
ton.
