THE FIRST
SOLID CAR
Of Vegetables Ever Shipped From
Brownsville.
Will Be Sent Out Today Heralding as
it Goes the Birth of New Truck
Region.
The first solid car of vegetables
ever sent from Brownsville will be
decorated with two streamers one
on each side upon which will be
displayed in letters so large that he
who runs may read this legend
' 'First Car of Vegetables Ever Ship
ped from Brownsville; From Buena
Vista Truck Farm." With this
sign displayed as the car speeds on
its way the advertisement the
country will thus get will be of
great benefit to the entire section
Van A. Webster who is an equal
partner in the Buena Vista ard
also its selling agent will handle
all produce from this farm and of
other farms in this vicinity is very
much interested in the section and
it is needless to say he will use his
best efforts to make the business
a success. He is a grain and pro-
duce broker of San A'ntonio and
handled several hundred cars of
onions potatoes cabbage and wa-
termelons last year very success-
fully. He will be here soon and
meet with growers and talk over
the matter of marketing their crops.
Being thoroughly posted along this
line he will no doubt be able to
render valuable advice to our truck
growers at tns time. A large
acreage is planted to cabbage in
this section and this first car is
only a forerunner of many more to
follow. Gradually the Brownsville
section will forge to the front as a
trucking region and whenever ear-
ly vegetables ore injured here by
cold weather it will be safe to say
no other section will escape. There
fore we have an equal chance with
other localities at all times and a
three to four weeks start ahead of
them when the winters are mild
as is usually the case here.
The Man and Not
the dog Mas Mad.
Judge Richard W. Clifford is
proverbial for his original hum-
orous stories and one of his lat-
est is told of a corpulent German
who came rushing into the Circuit
Court one morning before court
was called and said:
"I want to git varrant for a man
to kill a tog."
"Well my man don't come 'to
this court to get warrants in case of
that kind. If you want the dog
killed you should go to a police
court" said the judge.
The German started to leave
when the judge inquired in an
interested manner:
"Did the dog bite you?"
"Yeas he bitime."
"Well! was the dog mad?"

CHRISTMAS JOY WANING
It may be some comfort to those
who fear that we are destroying all
our forests to learn that the world's
forest area at prctent is estimated
Girls Being Educated off the Face of the.
Earth Given as One Rcaso for
Failure of This Once Jolly
Holiday.
Floresville Chirouicle.
Perhaps one reason why Christ-
mas is less joyous than it used to
bd is because the simple domesticat-
ed girl beloved by children of all
ages has been educated off the face
of the earth. The home-loving
girl is looked upon by her friends
as old-fashioned and "behind the
times" and she has become rather
rare. l raining in domestic ana
household work has largely disap
peared and where this is absent
Christmas at home must be more
or less of a failure. The modern
girl seeks other accomplishments.
She is loud self-opinionated and
sets more store on a ready dialogue
of smart repartee than being able
to cook or superintend the cooking
of a Christmas dinner. And this
was perhaps inevitable from the
time crirls belonging to all classes
took generally to earning their own
living. With the change home
life has suffered and there are
many women for whom it might be
said that all they want is a sentry
box so little are they at home
and so little interest do they take
in its surroundings.
Inquiry For A Purpose.
From the Memphis -Scimitar: G
R. Glenn superintendent of pub
lic instruction of the state of
Georgia tells this story:
One day he had explained the
Dowers of the X-rav machine to a
gathering of darkies who had as
sembled at a school commencement.
After the meeting was over a negro
called him aside and wanted to
know if he was in earnest about
the machine. Mr. Glenn assured
him that he was.
"Boss I wants ter ax you'ef er
nierfrer et chicken-kin you look in
him an see chicken?"
"Why yes Ephraim" said
Mr. Glenn.
weu doss l wants ter ax you
one mo' question. Kin you look in
dat nigger and tell whar dat chick
en cum friim?"
Only One Alamo.
Van Alstyne News.
The press unites in bestowing
warmest panegyric on Miss Dris-
coll for her noble and patriotic act
in advancing the $75000 necessary
for the preservation of the Alamo
to Texas. Perhaps no grander de
fense was ever made than the un
selfish martyrdom of the heroes of
the Alamo. Business men sought
to purchase Miss Driscoll's option
aouoiing tne cost ana erecting a
hotel on the site of that knightly
sacrifice. Her noble answer betrays
a spirit capble of appreciating the
heroic deed: "You can find sites
for the finest hotels you many
wish to build but there is only
one Alamo in the world."
He Should Know
4 prisoner tried before a certain
eminent judge for larceny had
admitted his guilt when apprehend
ed but at the trial was defended
with great obstinacy by his counsel.
"Gentlemen" said the judge sar-
castically to the jury "the prison-
er says he is guilty. His counsel
says he is not. You must decide
between them." Then after a
pause he added: "There is just
one thing to remember gentlemeTr?
The prisoner was there and his
counsel wasn't." Tid-Bits.
Reciprocity.
"What is your load of hay
worth?" asked the coal dealer.
"Come now" said the honest
agriculturist. When I buy a load
of coal from you I don't ask what
it's worth. I ask you what your
price is ana l pay it. inis load of
hay will cost you $10." Chicago
A Change at Sarita.
AprJlfcaiien to Railroad Commwion Made
by Gulf Coast Line to Change Route
at Sarita Being Heard.
Austin Tex. Jan. 30. The ap-
plication of the St. Louis Browns-
ville & Mexico railroad for author-
ity to change the route of about
six miles of its road and to remove
the station of Sarita to the new
line was heard before the Railroad
Commission today. Judge James
B. Wells of Brownsvilie and
Reagan Houston of San Antonio
appeared as attorneys for the rail
road while Judge J. H. Robertson
and J. H. Sullivan of San Antonio
represented Dan Sullivan of San
Antonio who opposed the applica-
tion. General Manager Jeff N.
Miller of the Gulf Coast line
Robert Kleberg and others were
present. After hearing the opening
arguments on the proposition the
commission began hearing testi-
mony. The case was not finished
today and will be resumed tomor-
row morning.
People Who Radiate Cheer.
Brownwood Banner-Bulletin.
Who can estimate the value of
a sunny soul who scatters gladness
and good cheer wherever he goes
instead of gloom and sadness?
Everybody is attracted to these
cheerful faces and sunny lives and
repelled by the gloomy the morose
and the sad. We envy people who
radiate cheer wherever they go
and fling out gladness from evefy
pore. Money houses and lands
look contemptible beside such a
disposition.
Tn HifitALD understands the
Jagou building on Elizabeth street
recently purchased by Julius
Wormser of Laredo has been
rented for a hotel and restaurant.
. Just Wind.
A new guest arrived at a New
Hampshire farm house where a
Boston gentleman happened to be
holding forth on the piazza. The
newcomer was much impressed by
the speaker's fluency. ' 'I declare "
he remarked to the landlord "that
man has an extensive vocabulary
hasn't he?" The landlord was
mightily pleased. "That's so"
he said. "That's what mountain
air will do for a man. He ain't
been boarclin' with me but two
weeks and I know he must have
let his waistband cut much as four
times." Rochester Herald.
A Cause of Illness.
It is asserted that the sleeping
cars are contagion and disease
breeders. Nothing of the kind. It
is tipping the porters that makes
us sick. Exchange.
Seed a Hay Seeder.
A farmer had a seeder for the sowing of
his seed
'Twas a seeder made of cedar and said'
I "Pray is there need
Of a seeder made of cedar?" Said the
farmer "Yes indeed!
I hev never seed a seeder sir that I'd
concede the speed
To exceed a cedar seeder for the seedin
of the seed." Life.
