A newspaper man may have
nothing in his heart for his fell
low citiz ems but love and res
pect; he may manifest these
feelings on every occasion; he
may publish a thousand nice
complimentary items about
them, and it will be accepted
without comment, and passed
up as a matter of course. But
just let him admit one item to
his columns which can, by any
sort of twisting of the magma
ton, be screwed into the shad-
ow Of a reflection, and it's all
off. All of the friendship here
tofore existing is throttled on
the spot; the thousand compli-
mentary items are forgotten
and cast away as so many filthy
rags. The editor is condemned
as an imbecile, a nonentity, a
lazy galoot and every other
crime this side of the peniten-
tiary. This is what happens
to all newspaper men who have
opinions of their own and dare
to express them, But he rises
from every one of these bastard
~ attacks a purer, better man,
having obtained a clearer in-
sight into the character of the
.ingrates he has to bump ur
against, he knows that he can
expect nothing from them but
kicks and jabs. It's a strenu-
GUS life; and yet. we rather
like it, Lakewood Progress.

There is no denial that bust
ness conditions in the Magic
City at the present time are
better than they have been for
three years past. There are
various reasons for these i'm
proved conditions. The sur
rounding country is more pros
porous. Farmers have raised
the best crop in three years
and the scarcity of feed in
states has put a premium
on the home product. There
are more cattle in the country
than for some years past and a
number of those who have been
TAUGHT by experience are now
engaging in the feeding bust
ness, instead Of trying to make
a profit from the product, are
making it off the hoof. A
new railroad has just been com
pleted, which by the first of
the year or soon thereafter will
be running trains from the
Gulf to the Pacific, making
Clovis the real junction and
division point. A $50. 0OO

is the pride of the city is near
ing completion.
There are various reasons.
too numerous to mention in de-
TAIL why Clovis has taken on a
new lease of life a general air oil

indicative of the fact that these
conditions are permanent. This
