The McAIlen Monitor announces that
the Besiness Mems Club of that city is
neither dead nor sleeping. The secretary
promises to have some copy ready for
the editor by Thursday noon each week.
1t is a wise secretary who knows how to
do the right thina by the editor; also a
fortunate club which has that kind of
a secretary.
Some of the Valley publishers are re-
minding their patrons that the law does
not allow them to carry non-paying sub
scIibers. The reminder is timely, and
the conscientious subscriber should get
busy and mail a check. f

The Harlingen Star claims for that
place a climate that is both moist and
cool. The average rainfall for the year
was a trile over p inches. Lowest aver
age temperature for any month. COS;
highest average for any month S6.15; av-
erage temperature for the year, 1886.
The Star thinks the rainfall does pretty
well fer an ~irrigating country.
Speaking of that Chicago minister who
says that a marriage fee is a graft
of minister's the Harlingen Star can
not see why the reverend gentleman
would discourage the only opportunity
or ;he preacher to make a little easy
money" The Herald suggests that the
ha sDy bridegrd III should always come
across" with enough to pay railroad fare
and carriage hire. A Missouri preacher
hired a livery team. drove % miles
1rove four miles further. slept in a cold
room, ate a four O'clock breakfast, and
got home at dark next day. He received
A, dollar from the appreciatiye groom.
That would not be called easy money for
anybody but a preacher.
