SOME PLAIN TRUTHS.

Editor George Robinson Of the
Waco Times Herald is a speaker as
well as a brilliant writer The other
evening, addressing the Y. NJ. B. L.,
he drove home some plain truths that
ought to be repeated, if not verbatim
in substance in every town in Texas.
Mr.. Robinson said there are people
in Waco who are today riding in auto,
mobiles and enjoying other luxuries,
who were walking when he came to
that town and the luxuries they are
enjoying have come to them through
the advancement in property values
and conditions brought about through
the efforts of the commercial organ
iZations. What is true of Waco is
true of other places. Within the past
two years Gatesville has grown more
and property has advanced more
steadily than ever in its history, CIV
ing nice profits to some who up to this
time have never helped to pull the old
wagon up the hill or beat the drum
In a single charge. But remember,
brethren beloved, while the light
holds out the vilest sinner may re-
turn. "-Gatesvil Messenger
Commercial organizations are doing
this all over Texas, not the least con-
spicuous example being the good little
city of Bryan.

Better a sweetheart than a sour

Work is good for boys, but not all
