Remember that Sunday's Times
will be "out of sight."
Who is going to run for lieu-
tenant governor anyway?
What are you doing for the up
building of Velasco, anyway!
Velasco and the Times are now
thoroughly identified with each
other.
Anybody to beat Hogg seems
to be the cry from all over the
land.
Politics in Brazoria county
seem to be sleeping on their rights
as it were.
Hoggs' friends at the fork of
the creek are getting nervous,
very nervous.
The Times will have some im-
portant railroad news for its
readers in about ten days.
A paper that always hits fraud
square between the eyes, is not
the paper to be dispised.

The prospects of Velasco are
as bright as they were the day
eighteen feet of water was pro-
cured on the bar. Velasco is all
right.
The ball given in honor of the
completion of the Velasco Termi-
nal railway was a success.
Everything is a success in Ve-
lasco.
The Galveston Opera Glass
looks through the right end of the
glasses when it says: "Hogg has
done more for and stands better
with the railroad managers than
most people imagine."
II. ¡SI. Johnson has resigned the
position of managing editor of the
Houston Post. Johnson has made
a good paper of the Post and
under his management it has pros-
pered as it never prospered before.
With the M. K. & T. railway
and the Aransas Pass on the left,
the Velasco Terminal and the
Santa Fe on the right and several
lines of steamships ploughing the
ocean, Velasco will soon be the
commercial city of Texas.
The man who sits down and
looks and waits for something to
turn up is the man whe will natu-
rally leave town without paying
his various small debts and will
proceed to give the town and peo-
ple a black eye.
The St. Louis Republic says
that Texas should clact Mills to
the Senate. Right, you are, and
you can most certainly depend on
the people doing so. Mills in the
senate would command attention.
Can the same be said of Hogg's
Chilton ?

The following fellow citizens
composed the conference recently
held at Tyler, which conferred
with Governor Hogg and trotted
him out for a second term:
Web Finley, ¡ittorney' for the
Ootton Belt railroad: H. M. Cate,
Mineóla, attorney for the Inter-
national and Great Northern and
the Texas and Pacific; John M.
Duncan, general attorney for the
International and Great Northern;
T. N. Jones, claim agent ol the
International and Great Northern;
Mr. Kelley, traveling attorney for
the International and Great North-
ern; J. L. Camp of San Antonio,
ex-local atttorney of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern: R W
Hudson, of Pearsall, recently ap-
pointed district judge by Gov-
ernor Hogg, but up to such ap-
pointment local attorney for the
International and Great Northern;
Swanie Robertson of Dallas, gen-
eral attorney for the East Line
and Red River; Brock Robertson,
ex-attorney for the Texas Trunk
railway receivership and ex-attor-
ney for the Mexican National;
R. N. Stafford of Mineóla, master
in chancery of the International
and Great Northern; Henry Mor-
ris, Cotton Belt attorney; Judge
Felix J. McCord, by whom the
International and Great Northern
receivership is being administered.
Besides these were the following
appointees of Gov. Hogg: Sain
Dixon and L. M. Green, inspectors
of penitentiaries, and R. Watt
Finley, financial agent of the pen-
itentiary. Private citizens: Berry
Camp of Fort Worth and Judge
J. h. Watkins oi Athens.
The friends of Governor Hogg
should read this list to their
hearers after they have ranted
over the fact that Judge Clark
has been an attorney for a rail
road, but they are not going to do
it, not much—Galveston News.
The Houston Post has defined
its position. It says that it will
support some one else in prefer-
ence to either Hogg or Clark. The
Post will soon see which way the
cat will jump.

Both counties and others adjoin-

men women and children, armed in
all conceivable ways. Two thou-
sand jack rabbits were also cap-
tured in the general round up.
Owing to the error in signaling
there was one break in the line
which reduced the number of cap-
tures, but another hunt will take
place next Sa turday to Anally wind
up the foxes and wolves of' South-
western Kansas.
