The Commissioner OF Agriculture

Several OF those named are already in

that fact is a fair augury Of the Com

the utmost use of the means given
him to serve the agricultural inter

The directors OF the A. & NJ. Col

this position is that they do not think
II wise at this time to further burden
the people with taxes. The Eagle has
heretofore favored the tax plan of
support believing 1t to be the most
equitable and satisfactory that could
possibly be devised We are hardly
able to make the distinction between
support by appropriations and sup.

payer is concerned, because in either
case it must come ultimately from

The Waco Times.Herald attempts

The only way the cotton exchanges
can make fair weather with the PEG.

vancing without any declines. This
is not intended as Joke. The people
have made up their minds that the

Is fast crystalizing on the subject.
Public opinion, like the giant boulder

The past two or three State meetings

memorable Hogg-Clark campaign.
Everything, every principle, every OBJ.
