4*We think Texas is a grand
state. And we believe that
when people settle down in Tex-
as and farm tne right way, and
understand the soil conditions,
that wonderful agricultural re-
cords will be made. We have
had a dry year! But in spite of
all that we-find that cattle have
not suffered any. The crops of
course have been cut down in
yield, but then on the other
hand, the prices on farm pro-
ducts are far above the prices of
years. No one has made the
statement that Texas is a never
failing crop producing state.

thousands are honest on small
salaries. For every sehool-teach-
er who wilfully neglects a child
thousands, for small pay, do
their best. To satisfy our own
curiosty, knowing that the Broth-
erhood of Locomotive Engineers
has rather well satisfied its mem-
bers in its efforts to keep up the
pay of engineers, we asked Grand
Chief, Warren S. Stone, to figure
out *liow much -is received for

They Do Say
That Julian Bassett does
not believe in the * 'railroad"
talk that was current in Crosby-
ton while he was gone.

That on Saturday morning af•

Therefore the engineersin charge*

What the Fair Exhibit Did
If you will read the following
letter you will see what the Fair
exhibit did. It has at an early
date Dlaced one of our good far
mers in correspondence with a
house that can use all the seed that
tie can spare—yes and a Hundred
times more. The Texas Seed and
Floral Company are the largest
dealers in the South and if you
want to sell them some seeds it
will be worth your while to write
them:
Mr. Oliver is well pleased with
the letter and will no doubt sell
these people all the seed he has
to spare.

Dear Sir: —
We noticed a sample of Egyp-
tian Wheat at the Fair, ana un-
derstand it was grown by you.
We want to buy some Egyp-
tian Wheat seed and if you have
some for sale we also want to
buy Red Peanuts, Mexican June
Coyn- Sbumag- Gar>o, Biff Gorman
and White Kaffir
Maize and Ribbon
Millet, Red
Corn, Milo
Cane seed.
Should you be able to supply
any of these we would be glad to
« have samples and prices, if you
cannot supply can you give us
the name of persons from whom
we may buy.
Thanking you in advance for
your reply. Yours truly.

' 'A newspaper has a public
duty to perform. It is its busi-
ness to discuss these political
questions. It is not only its priv-
ilege. but it is the duty of the
owners of a paper to, in the lan-
guage of a former President,
'print the news and tell the truth
about it,' and it is the duty of
owners of a paper to tell the peo-
ple of the United States what the
facts are as far as they can find
out, and see that proper infer-

dications point to the wrong
