Anson 5-18, 1910.
Aspermont Star,
Aspermont, Texas.
Dear Sir:
The grade work on the Abi-
lene, Anson and Hamlin rail
road was started here Monday
the 16th.
We notice in the Abilene Re-
porter that Aspermont is likely
to be a candidate for the exten-
sion of this road, we Aüson peo-
ple fully appreciate the impor-
tance of being connected by rail
with Aspermont and we believe
Abilene and Hamlin would as
keenly appreciate you. We are
doing all we can here at Anson
to show the railroad men that we
appreciate what they are doing
for our town. We believe Asper-
mont will exercise the same good
policy and before many moons
will have an invitation to join
hands with all partiés concerned
and construct a band of steel
from the Plains to the Gulf.
Respectfullv
I. H. Dean.
Mr. Dean is in the railroad
construction business, and wrote
this letter after reading in the
Abilene Reporter the reproduc-
tion of an editorial which ap,-
peared in The Star two weeks
ago as follows:
"A railroad is to be built from
Abilene to Hamlin via Anson.
This road is to be chartered as
the Abilene Central, Why not
use our effort to have it come to
Aspermont. We don't object to
Anson and Hamlin having it, but
we doykick at any railroad point-
ing its nose directly toward us,
and then stopping twenty miles
short of the mark," so says the
Aspermont Star. The town,
like the individual, who hesitates
and then keeps on hesitating, is
lost. The way to get the good
things of this earth is not to sit
still and weep because they do
not come without effort and so-
licitation, but get up and go af-
ter them. It is quite evident
that when this new railroad is
completed from Abilene to Ham-
lin no time will be lost in extend-
ing north or northwest. Aplace
less desirable may land the plum
if it is up and doing at this time
j when the action may appear per-
mature to others. To be fore-
warned is to be forearmed and
the hint of The Star is both wise
and timely.—Abilene Reporter.
The Star considers no time
premature to boost Aspermont.
"Do It Now" is the motto of our
people and all the information
we desire is, how mnch will it
cost to bring the railroad here.
We want it, must have it, and
won't be satisfied till we get it.
The Anson Enterprise also re-
produced The Star editorial and
commented. The Enterprise
comment follows:
That's the way we like to hear
you talk! Get busy and have it
extended on.—Anson Enterprise.
Get Busy, did you say? Well,
that's Aspermont's gait, and if
we don't get that railroad, some-
body will have a hard time ex-
plaining how it happened. Get
Busy? Just you watch us. We are
going to run our Busy Shop here
in Aspermont from 7 a. m. till
7 in the morning.
We are going to have that
railroad, if we have to strain
to the bustin' of our suspenders
togetit. We'veonlv got one man
in Aspermont that is using a ham-
mer, all the rest of us hav: got
crow bars and prizin' some,
Let's get together, stav togeth-
er and keep pullia' and prizin' j
till the whistle of the locomotive |
convinces us that we have landed |
this railroad right here in Asper- j
mont.
games all right, but foot races is
not what we bargained for.
When the Albany bunch learns
enough about baseball to make
at least one score in a series of
games, then we will allow our
boys to play with them some
more.
The '"nubbin" crop is ruined. Car-
penters are «all busy making- step-lad-
ders by means of which to gather the
corn crop of Stonewall this fall.
Those who were awake at 11 o'clock
i Monday night were treated to a sight
i which the present generation will
nev.er again witness. At this hour
the moon was in a total eclipse and
Halley's comet was plainly visible to
the naked eye. The comet liad been
visible for several nights, but the tail
was not plain, this part of this won-
derful heavenly body was very much
in evidence on Monday night, how-
ever. If you did not see this double
vision you have missed the opportun-
ity of your life. We saw it anA we
had not drank a di'op of anything
stronger than Adam's ale for more
than thirty—minutes.
The Anson Enterprise says:
"About the only damage Hal-
ley's comet did in Jones county
Wednesday when it run over the
sun's path was to upset the big
dipper and spill enough water
on our soil to ruin the nubbin
crop."
Up here in Stonewall it scared
old J. Pluvius so bad that he just
"rained" all over us.
We have been asked bv several
why no mention was made of the
baseball game between Albany
and Aspermont. Well, if they
had been ball games, we might
have "writ 'em up," but 10 to 0
one day and 13 to 0 the next, did
not look like baseball to us. We
think Albany ought to be
ashamed of herself to chase our
boys 'round and 'round like that.
We'll write up the baseball
Last Wednesday, May 18th
was set aside for clean up day in
Aspermont. When our city
dads decided on that date, they
overlooked the fact that Halley
and his comet was scheduled to
visit us on that date. Asper-
mont got cleaned all right. She
was washed from the court house
in everv direction bv one of the
finest rains that ever came from
the reservoir of Jupiter Pluvius.
This was not just the kind of a
cleaning the parliament of Asper-
mont had ordered, so thev have
issued another order decreeing
Tuesdav, Mav 31st as clean up
dav for Aspermont. Provided
the c*met doesn't dome back
again and upset all the water in
the solar svstem.

game was lost by the Albany
boys. At the present writing
the others have not been beard
froiií.—Albany News*.
It might have been better bad
the Albany team stopped at Syl-
vester. But they came Qn to
Aspermont and went up agaist
the real thing in baseball. The
News is not likelv to hear from
the other games. We don't
think the Albany team wants the
matter given too much putyicity.
Well, we won't say anvthing
about it.
For County Judge
Friends, of W. J. Arrington have
asked us to place his name' before the *
voters as a candidate for County Judge
subject to the July primary. This
i-ction. in s > far as we know, was done
without the knowledge or consent of
Judge Arrington and as to what action
he will take in the matter we are not
able to say. We only know that the
regular fee was tendered us with a re;
quest to place his name in our an-
nouncement column, which we will
do.
Judge Arrington served the people
of Stonewall county in this capacity
for four years, and his record is be-
fore you. We think he served his
county well.
