Jo. T. Howaj-d of the Walker-Smith
company returned Saturday night
from Brownwood, where he went on
business. Speaking of that ci.ty to a
reporter today he was loud In praises
of the beautiful streets and sidewalks
which the people of Brownwood have
provided. Civic pride is a great thing

X BROWNWOOD NORMAL.
Not many people realise the bene-
fits arising to Brownwood by reason
of the holding. of the summer nor-
mal of Brown and Coleman counties
In this city this summer. Teachers
from all over the west are attracted
here during tj»e six weeks the normal
Is In session, to get the advantages
of training under a superior faculty.
During the session at least 150 teach-
ers will be here, and aside from the
financial benefits to our merchants,
the association with these educators
will be helpful. Brownwood ought to
make special efforts to make the stay
who come pleasant. It will
and money well expended.

civic PR1DBL
Brownwood people who visit other
towns In the stats return' home en-
thused over the appearance of our
streets, sidewalks and lawna. Some-
time# we think that perhaps it is only
local -pride that makes us think our
town looks hotter than others, bat
when n citlsen of another town
comes here and looks us ovsr and
r'
showing whgt It means to look after
the appearance of their town Brown-
wood has some of the prettiest streets
of any town in Texas . Her people
think that It Is worth while to have
well kept lawns and flower gardens
and have worked along that line antil
R has become the custom, and not the
»
exception, for the people to have nice
attractive yards. “In the matter of
side walks, attractive streets, and
pretty flower gardens Brownwood has
us beat to death,” said Mr Howard.

THE NEW OFFICIALS
The Bulletin extends a welcoming
hand to the new city officials. They
have at least two years of arduous
work ahead of them, with little fi-
nancial reepmpense and, we are
afraid, much unjust abuse. Brownwood
Is passing out of her swaddling
clothes and is putting on the raiment
of full grown womanhood, even al-
most attained the point where a com-
mission form of government Is best
suited to her requirements. The new
city officials are men of business
acumen and their efforts In the city’s
behalf are calculated to be of much
benefit to the public at large. In
every effort they should have the
hearty backing of a united citizen-
ship. and always counsel Instead of
criticism. They are always open to
suggestions and while they ***y not
adopt all - suggestions advanced, will
give <yie consideration. The Bulletin
extends best wishes for a harmonious
administration, and herewith volun-
teers Its aid in any and all undertak-
ings looking to the betterment of
conditions In Brownwood.

i
Brownwood can fully appreciate the
advantage of paved streets and ce-
ment sidewalks, having gone through
a spell of wet weather which under
old conditions would have made our
streets Impassable. As they are now,
a day of sunshine Is sufficient to put
the streets In the best possible con-
dition. Come to Brownwood.

PROGRESSING.
The San Saba Star man Is Just now
enjoying some of the pleasures of liv-
ing in a railroad town. Last week he
got out of town for a day, getting as
fay away from home as Lometa. When
he got safely home, he put at the
head of his editorial column “Even
Lometa has street lights.”—Brown-
wood Bulletin.
The editor of the 8tar Is none oth-
er than Geo, Hagan, brother of our
Prof. Hagan, and at one time taught
in the school here. We will Insist that
'
Prof. Invite George to Ballinger where
we not only hash street lights, but
paved streets as well.—Banner-Lead-
er, Ballinger
Yes, street lights and paved streets
are flue, but you just can't imagine
the thrU) of Joy caused by seeing the
cars the Hrst time—In San Saba. Why.
It la saa refreshing as a bath after a
Ballinger sand storm, or the sight of
clear water In Brownwood'a reservoir,
the Bayou. Come to San Saba—San
Saha Star. ^

had but one song to alng, that of wa-
fer. clear water aud plenty of It, but

It Is a help to keep young in spirit,

If wo hunt for It In earnest. One
should retain their enthusiasms as
long as possible. One cannot help
the gray hair and wrinkles—time al-
ways brings them, but the spirit need
uot grow old and morbid and gloomy.
A happy, youthful spirit makes even
a wrinkled face appear attractive.
Another thing we should do is to keep
the love element alive; we should cul-
tivate sympathy and kindness and
"love our neighbor” no matteT what
faults he or she may have. There
Is always something lovable about
every human being. If we look for
the good qualities, we shall find them

spiritually and mentally wholesome,
and the body can scarcely be diseas-
ed. We must not brood; we must not
worry—only the serene soul Is strong
and no human being Is any stronger
than the weakest part; if we are
strong mentally, bodily and spiritually
we shall be happy< Worry Is a dis-
ease or a symptoms of disease, and
every moment of worry weakens the
soul for Its dally battle A wrltef
has said that “Worry Is spiritual
near-sightedness—a fumbling way of
looking at little things and magnify-
ing their importance." One of the
strongest cures for the worry germ is
to have faith in the wisdom of our
Creator; to trust that th| “right
side”, of the ta|*estry will show the
perfect pattern, no matter what the
side we work on—the seamy side—
discovers. “Faith, hope and charity"
