es, you need not expect the Teague country*1
to develop very rapidly unless there is a
forward move on the part of those who are
here and are financially interested.
ERIDAY MAY 14. 1909.
Many a man will go to hell because of a
greater love for the dollar than his soul.
There should be two hundred acres at
least put to strawberries in the Teague
country next winter. Begin now to make
1 your plans for it. It would bring thousands
of dollars to our farmers during the spring
months and would come as a friend in the
time of need.
A friend who will desert you in the hour
of need is of little value when no friend is
needed.
Here is the Cold Springs Chronicle, Vol.
1 No. 1. May you grow rich and as pretty
as a May rose, old man.
In this modern day of cold blooded com-
mercialism every town must hustle if they
would keep in line with the front rank.
The cotton gamblers put the price of
cotton futures up three dollars per bale this
week, hut the producer fails to get any of
the benefits.
A rhinoceros came near getting the ex-
president the other day, hut it only required
one shot from Mr. Roosevelt’s big gun to
kill the vicious animal.
Gov. Campbell held the legislature’s
“nose” to the grind stone until he got suf-
ficient results to call it a Campbell victory
and at the close of the 2nd called session
Wednesday night allowed the tired and
worn out members to pack their trunks and
go home.
If Teague was the “only pebble on the
beach’^fier citizenship might rare hack in
.chairs of comfort and feel perfectly easy as
to the future greatness of the town, but
with hundreds of other towns and commu-
nities hustling for new people to fall in line
and help develop their undeveloped resourc-
w
The lumber manufactures are able to
name a price for their lumber because they
never loose control of the output until it gets
in the possession of the consumer. Could
the cotton growers do the same thing then
there would be no trouble about profitable
prices.
Cone Johnson and R. V. Davidson have
made it known that at the proper time they
will make formal announcement of their
candidacy for governor before the Demo-
cratic primaries next year. With these two
rank anti-Bailey men in the field fitid a Bailey
man should be singled out, with the Bailey
question an issue, it is an easy matter to
forecast the result. But let us keep the
Bailey question out of next year’s campaign
and look more to issues concerning the de-
velopment of our wonderful resources that
are yet unexplored.
An interesting story was printed in last
Sunday’s papers telling of large fees earned
in a single case hy great lawyers during the
last decade, * These fees ranged from $25-
(XX) to $1,000,000. Also told of handsome
fees paid to eminent physicians by the rich.
There was one little item left out, though,
that might have been interesting to Teague
and Freestone county people, and that was
the recent earning of a $10,000.00 commis-
mission on the successful negotiating of a
half million dolw loan between some par-
ties, by a former Teague and Freestone
county citizen.
MAY BE A NEW RAILROAD.
From yesterday’s Grapeland Messenger
we clip the following News item:
Crockett, Tex., May 11th Mr. T. L. L.
Temple, president, E. Durham, secretary,
and J. E. Mitchel, engineer, of tie Texas
Southeastern R. R., spent yesterday at this
place looking over their route and depot
grounds. They are now building from Ken-
nard here and the road will be completed
soon. They left this morning for Teague,
where they will probably build from here.
They went through in buggies so as to look
over the route from here to Teague. They
will examine both the Alabama and Hall’s
Bluff crossings. It is not definitely known
which route the road will adopt from here
as yet. Rex.
C. E. Grayson of Teague, has filed ap-
plication with Gov. Campbell for the appoint-
ment of Pension Commissioner, a new place
created by the 31st Legislature and carries
with it a salary of $2,000 per year. “Uncle
Charlie,” as we all know him, is an excon-
federate soldier, and in every way worthy
and competent to fill this position. Gov.
Campbell can make no mistake by giving
hint the appointment.

Mexia Evening Now*.
There was a swarm of busy
Bees in the Pythian hall last
night when Mexia Hive No. 5
welcomed her sisters from the
neighboring towns.
Wortham came thirty six
strong under I^ady Commander
Hood.
Groesbeck .Hive No. 21 had
twenty representatives.
Teague Hive No. 81, the young-
est organization in this part of
the State, sent six delegates with
their Commander, Lady Denison,
At seven o’clock a sumptuous
banquet was served.
Then followed a jrenerak class
initiation with ten candidates.
Mrs. A. B. Rennolds welcomed
the guests on behalf of the local
Hive: Mrs. Hood responded for
Wortham, Mrs. Denison for
Teague and Mrs. W. W. Brown
for Groesbeck. Every word of
welcome rang with true and per-
fect loyaljty to this, the greatest
order of women in the world
and every of response echoed the
deep harmony and
ballot march. Mexia Hive put
on fhe installation work in accor-
dance with the new ritual. The
floor work was all well done and
elicited words of praise and com-
mendation for State Commander
Hart.
So pleased was Lady Hart with
fhe splendid drill work given by
the Guards of Mexia Hive under
their able Captain, Lady Everett,
that she asked for a photogratdu .
juTbP company for publication--
in the Ladies’ Review^ the official
organ of the order.
The visiting members express-
fed themselves as highly delighted
•with .the hospitality of Mexia
Hive and there were many words -
bf thankful tribute to Lady Com-
mander, Laura T Rogers, whose
master mind and hand had so
jwell directed the energies of her
faithful helpers and carries to
prefection such a great fraternal
assembly. .
