IN OUR
VALLEY
} BY CHARLES HALL,

Soiiler, vice president Of the City
central Bank and Trust company,
mas purchased all the stock Of Pres
tuent A. Y. Baker in the Edinburg
bank. At the same time IL is
saio ne purchased all the stock Of
lam Z. Hill and z. c. Umland. II
- said the new owners will take ac-
tive charge in the very near future.
While this represents quite o
Cnange Of the banking order Of
lungs IN Edinburg. 1t did not come
20 The Herald as a surprise. Some
rev days ago the engineer OF this
column asked Mr.. Baker II some
change was not being contemplated
ana he denied 1t saying please do
not publish any such rumor."
EA ENCOURAGEMENT OF the big pur-
+1 chase Is made today in a VAL
IL ley paper. the editor OF which
mas a hard time writing anything
without an attempted left handed
punch at The Herald.
The engineer of this column wish
rs 20 thank the editor of said paper
LOT thus recognizing The Herald
As 2 big paper OF the Valley, and
attempting 10 climb I'D on II. He
only wishes said editors newspaper
had Ore circulation SO that The
1teEaak could reap more advertising.
All st9fie throwers have their own
glass houses. and II the matter was
Iof any moment. we might make
some nasty references TO a certain
set Of Implications Of stories" in
this would-he rock thrower's Sunday
edition, which are still a puzzle TO
the printing world as to how they
could accidentally" happen, not to
mention certain tomato summaries.
BALLOONS are easier punctured
O with pins. when they seem TO
be swollen the biggest. but who
PANTS 70 have one pop in your face?
NOR example that same paper
boasts that 1t only will carry an
advertising campaign for the Rio
drande Valley Telephone company,
when J.. G. Paxton, in charge, has
said he will place this same cam
paign IN many other Valley papers.
Exactly what he said is Several
bther Valley newspapers will receive
he same campaign at q later date
iuring the year. II is my opinion
hat The Brownsville Herald has a
sarger appropriation for advertising
LAronr our budget than any other VAL
ley Newspaper"
But who wants to get any wrtn-
lies e such details except to set
orth the truth2
OTHERWISE we have with us to-
day NJ. Z. Lyons OF Point Isabel,
down where they r going 70
luild some big ship docks and prob
khly a big city. VINO asks US TO pub
ksh the seven largest cities IN Tex
ks."
To make It official the 1920 CEN
,N count Is used as follows: San
Antonio, l61,379; Dallas l58,976;
kouston, 1926; Fort Worth 1885,
Ia: III Paso. 1850; Galveston a.
SIS: Beaumont 40.422.
Is that what YOU want, MI. Ly-
Ins?
p WE are any judge Of procedure.
n after training our ear TO
the ground, we believe We can
kfely say that Judge Oscar Dancy
Id County Auditor J. J. Bishop
|fi 3 be giving us some way TO
ST.. this Cameron county jail
EtutkEn. The matter has been
'rned over to them by the county
1mrissioners TO work out a plan.
|Tha Herald feels that these two
Il cnme out with flying colorS, and
rnows that IL Is for relieving the
aorded conditions. which have been
,nrtad by the grand jury and have
fsslled by one Of its own reporters
fer a visit. An addition 70 the
recent Jail would probably solve
"a question without too great q
ost to the taxpayers.
