of our business fraternity and
men of capital. The idea is to
keep the present interest of our
town at high tide and awaken
new enterprises that will add to
its growth and prosperity. This
is s move in the right direction
and the only way such a thing
can be effected. We already see
what new and live enterprise will
do for as. There are many live
industriss, especially in ths East,
that are seeking western location
and if we were properly organ-
ised in to a "Business Men's As-
sociation," these enterprises
might be looked into, and if
found meritorious, sufficient in-
ducement given for them to lo-
cate in our borders. This is
what will give growth and pros-
pesity. new life and new interest
make our town the place she
was destined to bs, the first,
the best, the most notable of all
tie places round about her.
Now the presentation of this
subject is not for mere effect,
but for a purpose; for a consider-
ation of every business man of
our town, to awaken you out of
slumber and aroune you up to
thinking on this subject with
speedy action in view.

very popular. The foot board is
cushioned and there is a warm
soapstone on each side; the in-
side step being; adjustable, so
that a short girl can bring her
lips to the line of any given
moustache without trouble, if
the gate is occupied at 10:30 p.
m., an iron hand extends from
one gate post, takes the young
man by the left ear, turns him
around and he is at once started
toward home by a steel foot.
The girl can if she likes, set this
part at a lat -r hour than 10:30.

Prosperity always comes to countries that advertise. Th?
Commercial Clubs of Texas are getting out literature that is shak-
ing the continent and charging th atmosphere with progress, and
the Commercial Secretaries are throwing the resources of Tex u
